Joliet Disc Golf Tournaments for '06

[maa4208]

My dad has been helping Gary Lewis with the course directory for the Joliet area and he also said that Gary will be sanctioning the Am. Day for the Channahon Tournament and Illinois State. 

My dad just completed the sanction agreements and emailed them in.

Here's the dates:

19th Channahon Classic - Community Park, Channahon, IL
Amateur/Novice/Recreational - Sept. 23, 2006 - sanctioned
Pro/Advanced - Sept. 24, 2006 - sanctioned

The Lumber Cup - West Park, Joliet, IL
Amateur/Novice/Recreational - June 3, 2006 - not sanctioned
Pro/Advanced - June 4, 2006 - sanctioned

26th Illinois State Championships - The Oaks, Mokena, IL
Amateur/Novice/Recreational - July 8, 2006 - sanctioned
Pro/Advanced - July 9, 2006 - sanctioned

As always, any questions contact Gary Lewis

You know, I thought I'd give a little FYI, thats all.

If the right elbow and the left shoulder stay reasonably healthy, I hope to play the Illinois State Championships this year.

Bit confusing....did you mean to say that he was sanctioning the Am day for Channy & IL State? The Lumber cup AM day seems to be unsanctioned, or maybe that's just pending the sanctioning from the PDGA?

[Mike S]

Seems more likely at Channahon, I remember him asking about it there.  Most people wanted it sanctioned.

Sorry about that. The Lumber Cup is not sanctioned for Ams. Only Pro/Adv. Thats what I meant. I'll fix my post now.

[Bruce Brakel]

Well, I'm really glad Gary is sanctioning lower divisions for the Illinois State Championships because Jon and I were getting pretty close to stepping up and running the PDGA Intermediate and Recreational Illinois State Championships.  Now we can settle down and go back to what we were doing.

Saturday looks like it might conflict w/ South Bend if it were sanctioned...

I just received notice from David Gentry, he's received the sanction agreements and things are a go.  As to Gary not sanctioning The Lumber Cup, he's still apprehensive about sanctioning lower events.  A lot of locals that AREN'T PDGA members will be charged that extra $5 fee to enter, and he's worried that the turnout will be lower.  The PDGA eliminated Am Masters as a division and there are many here that will have to compete as Intermediate or move to Adv. Masters, and that's got Gary concerned.  I have competed with many that I just mentioned in the Am Masters and I don't know if they will play now or not.  Only time will tell.  I applaude Gary for making this step as I am one of the many that wanted him to sanction the lower division days.  Now he has and since I'm moving up the ranks I will play advanced master but will be on the course to help on the lower day and I hope to see many Discontinuum members show up.  Let's support Gary and show him it's a good move.

Peace all ... Throw well !

I think Gary will be happy with his decision. He'll cointinue to get most of the same players and retain many that end up becoming PDGA members. There is no doubt more players from this area will travel down there. I know that was keeping a lot of players from playing Gary's event in this area. All in all this will help disc golf & the promotion of the PDGA. Generally, PDGA members are more likely to travel than nonmembers.

best shot schedule attached

let me know if you have any problem opening it

[Mukey]

Anyone know if Gary Lewis is running a World's Biggest event this year? A lot of people at my new job have expressed interest in trying disc golf. Just being lazy & hoping someone online knows, I can give Gary a call later if nothing else.

[Mukey]

I received a Flyer for Worlds Biggest '06 from Jesse S. May 6 & 7. Shorewood on Saturday with 2 rounds of pick your partner doubles starting at 3:30. Should be a good time if you're not going to Wisconsin that weekend.

But remember, the Lumber Cup is UNSANCTIONED FOR LOWER DIVISIONS. Only the pro/adv. divisions are sanctioned.

Just a little reminder.......

i can't believe u can prereg online for a gary lewis event.  this should help those events out alot.

[airspuds]

maybe i could start a trend or test dummy to confirm it works



not everyone likes to use the computer to pay for things

its always an uneasy feeling typing in credit card #   and clicking send


i love west park

It's a sign of the times Dan.  I plan on helping quite a bit in the computer arena for Gary - my computer skills FAR surpass my disc golf skills  ... but one day .. I just might win a playoff ... or even remember how to play the silly game.   

Throw well ....
