THANKS for the Streamwood recomendation, I made it there yesterday after working in Arlington Heights for the day. It was not
under water but rather wet. It was a good thing I travel with waterproof shoes. Forget my golf towel though. Thankfully the course was much longer than the directory indicates. With today's rain, I flew home early instead of checking Edgebrook out.

Apparently for awhile now...

Look for the first doubles event soon!

Which fly18 is better, Edgebrook next Monday late afternoon or Calumet City
Tuesday afternoon?

Is this course closed for good or have they put baskets back in?

Bakets & course are gone. Not sure if it's going to stay closed or not.

I had heard that they were going to honor their one-year provision with Fly 18 and then make a decision in the off season about the future.  I think that disc golf was working fine for them but their partnership with Fly 18 was not. 

[Fiddler]

I talked to the course pro last year. He said the course would be gone this year, and look to reinstall it next year. He also said that the cash that came in from disc golf was peanuts compared to the ball golf business. I got the feeling that he was doubtful about bringing it back.

They actually did fairly well from the monetary side from what Spike says, but obviously not my place to divulge numbers. He's been having some talks with the management lately so hopefully he'll be able to post some good news soon.

I got word that Edgebrook is back in the ground. Anyone know if it's true?

You're the 4th person I heard this from.

[DiscCrazy]

If someone has Spikes number call him. He would probably know.

I texted him a bit ago, I'll post if I hear back.

Edgebrook is officially open!

A couple of holes have been reconfigured, and no tee pads have been purchased, so the course is playing really long from the pro tees (pavement).  There is some work still to be done, but at least Chicago has an 18-holer again.

Very tentatively, we want to have a (non-sanctioned) tourney, possibly on Sunday, 10 August, which would unfortunately limit the participants to those golfers not going to Worlds.

I am also looking to start a doubles league at Edgebrook again, but haven't decided on day and time.  I am willing to listen to suggestions and am open to accept offers to help run leagues.

I will post soon with more details.

[Apielet]

I would love to be in the doubles!! I live a few minutes from there.  Would it be $18 every week then?

[Apielet]

I would be availble to help w/ leagues and the doubles.

MONDAYS are the best for me, ( doubtful for everyone else though!)

Andrew,

I appreciate your offer to help.  I sent you an email regarding  leagues at Edgebrook, but it bounced back (out of office reply).  If you notice this post, give me a shout.  I want to get rolling with some Edgebrook activities ASAP

Thanks.

[tacimala]

Spike, count me in. When do we start!?

[tflo101]

Any news on the possible league at Edgebrook? 

[El Mexicano]

Just realized Edgebrook is only 2.5mi  away from work. Are there still leagues here?
