I just wanted to say "thank you" to everyone that helped over the weekend.  With the amount of people and the heat everything ran as smooth as always. Great Job to Bruce and your crew! I am looking forward to Rockford.

another good turnout today at Crystal Lake.  i think it was 63 players today.  amazingly the ace pool rolled over yet again and is now at $850 going into Rockford.  i can't believe nobody hit one today.

[Chainmeister]

I am amazed that 63 upper echelon players did not hit an ace. #'s 1,17 and 18 at Rockford are all short righty holes. 17 is very hittable. Somebody is going to take in a wad o' cash.

The ace pool got up to $859 for today! We decided to cap it at $750 for the remainder of the series and start a backup fund for when the $750 ace pot gets hit. Bruce and I figured that there were more than 4,000 opportunities for people to collect the ace fund this weekend alone.

So, anyone that gets into the ace fund at Rockford and hits will collect on the $750 ace pool and then we'll have a starter ace pool for the next IOS in August.

Oh, and Sunday results are up at www.pdga.com.

did the advanced and open players play the regular tees, or are there harder tees that I dont know about?

looks like they played 20 holes.

[Dan Michler]

the same tees were used on sunday as were used on saturday.

2 extra holes were added (not the same as the added hole on saturday).

1 was a very deucable hole and the other was about 480-500 feet across an open field.

[Chainmeister]

From what I saw on the leaderboard, a lot of them were deucable for you.  Nice shooting Danimal! I should have predicted it.  When I left Saturday you were practicing on One while people were cashing in their brass.  You put a big hyzer right under the basket.

A note on the unofficial results for IOS#3 at pdga.com. Adrian Gutierrez Jr. won the playoff for third place trophy in Advanced and Wilbur Wallace won the playoff for 1st place in Adv Masters. The on-line upload tool does not allow me to put in a place for the top of a multi-tie but leave the rest tied. That will be fixed once the results become final.

What is the maximum number of registrants for IOS#4? 5*36=180?

[Jon Brakel]

If we expand both courses to 21 holes each, we would max out at 205 players.
