2005 ILLINOIS OPEN SERIES

[Chainmeister]

It was my understanding that IOS#4 is 2 rounds of 24.  Assuming no expansion, what was the plan?  How were the courses going to be utilized?  18 holes of one and 6 off another?  Were there going to be 6 temp holes?  Not that it really matters, but I was just wondering.  After all, wondering sure beats paying attention at work.

What's the best way to get to Anna Page from, let's say, roughly Bevier?

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

Wouldn't that be 21*2*5=210? Or are the other 5 reserved for the Brakel clan?

To use mapquest or yahoo, you can use the intersection
"Safford Rd At N Springfield Ave, Rockford, IL 61101"
for directions purposes. I usually am coming from the south so I take I-39 to US-20 west. From
there I exit at Meridian and head North to State street and cut back East to Springfield. The park is just North of there by about a mile.

Amen to that.

Yes, you are correct.

We have not finalized how many temp holes we are going to have. Two courses with 21 holes each (three temp holes on each course) is one of the configurations that we are looking at.

21x2x5=210, but like Barish said, last I'd heard it was 24 holes on each course, which seems a bit extreme.

from crystal lake i took 176 W to Rt 20.  Rt 20 will take you to the east end of rockford.  from there you can follow Rt 20 to the west end of rockford till you get to the Montague Exit (about 12 miles give or take).  take that exit and take an immediate left (north) on to Harrison Rd.  Harrison then changes name into Springfield Rd in about a quarter mile.  Take Sprinfield Rd north about three miles and the park will be on your left hand side.   From Crystal Lake to the east end of rockford it took me about 50 minutes.  If it doesnt take you more than an hour to get to crystal lake from bevier than 176 should be a bit quicker.

If I recall you are not far from Schaumburg.  Is that right?  If so, I think 90 is best.  take 90 which turns into 39 to the exit at Riverside in Loves Park.  This is just past Rockford.  Follow Riverside west through about 10 miles of suburbia and it will wind up at Anna Page.  By the way Greg, I hope to get there Thursday (edited from tomorrow-oops )depending on the schedule.  Call my cell.

If I was starting at Bevier I would go up to 173 and head west on that all the way to Rockford.  Then turn left onto Alpine and then a right on Riverside Blvd. which will take you to the park.

Thanks for all the different routes.

IOS history fun fact!!

Ryan Schuman, Shane Rose, Adrian Sr., Adrian Jr., and Michler are the only players who have completed every IOS event so far dating back to the first one in 2003.

i hope yall found that fact to be fun.

[Bruce Brakel]

Here's a quote from the Quad City message board about IOS 4:

Chad told me that when they were at Michiana everyone was talkin' about being in Rockford.  So, it might be a good idea to pre-pay for this one, boys.  Wouldn't want you to go up to Rockford just to get shot down.

I've played in all of them, too

Please pre-register for this event! Save time in the morning or get there early. We've had 101, 140, & 156 players at the first 3 events. Things run a little smoother when that is split over 2 days. Rockford will be on 1 day so things will be hectic. Rockford may possibly be the biggest 1 day disc golf event in Illinois history.

You can pre-register here (mail0in or online)
