Joliet Disc Golf Tournaments for '06

[Mukey]

Something I just noticed on the Mokena Flyer: Prizes for top Am Masters playing in Am Intermediate.

Seems that even though there isn't an Am Master division anymore Gary is trying to take care of the Masters playing with us youngsters.

Sunday tag rounds at Mokena anyone?

...

I do believe you are correct Drathe.  Gary is taking care of those that are over 40 (that are at the Intermediate level), but have to play with the kiddies to compete in a sanctioned event.

I've just uploaded the list of pre-registered entries:
Am/Intermediate:  http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5940
Pro/Advanced: http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=5939

Throw well ...

The Flyer for the IL State DGC at Mokena next weekend has "Top 1/3 will receive trophies, discs, or prizes". I thought AM payouts were top 1/2 per tour standards.

[Dan Michler]

the pdga has suggested payouts but i've found that alot of TD's do whatever makes sense to them.

[Bruce Brakel]

And that is really the way it should be.  We were offering trophy-only years before it was allowed.  Gary was paying 1/3rd long before the PDGA came out with flatter, deeper, lamer standards.  Either way, if a TD is up front about what they are doing, it should not be an issue.

Results for the 26th Illinois State Championship tournament: Int/Rec/Jr are posted. I had a good time. I shot the best round of my life (6 down from the reds) (I lead after the first round!  ) and my normal round from the whites (10 over  ) and I still got 9th!  My dad smoked alot of people and got tied for 4th in Int. 103 players for the day!

Good luck tomorrow for those that are playing! 

Edit: I guess a link would help......

... My dad smoked alot of people and got tied for 4th in Int. 103 players for the day! ...

WOW!  The boy's fast ... I just posted the scores.

As to "smoking alot of people" ... I've always viewed playing golf as playing against the course ... if perchance I shoot better than someone, then I beat the course better ... If someone shoots better than me ... they beat the course better.  It's never been "me vs. the other guy".

Just my 0.02.   I'll be back out on Sunday, hopefully to show the course that I can still beat it. 

To all that will be there Sunday ... Throw Well!

Nice shooting, Apostolii...

Hopefully the turnout convinces Gary that sanctioning Int/Rec is the way to go... would've been there myself today except I had a music gig til past 1 am and I'm committed to never playing a tournament again on that schedule...    I'll be limping out there tomorrow though

Fun and long day at Mokena. It was a full house. Can't beat playing golf with Chris Heeren and Avery Jenkins. The club represented well. Congrats Neal! Get a haircut now .

[Bruce Brakel]

I was First Loser in Adv Master.  Elliot was smoking hot in the morning round, shooting -8 to my -1, so that kind of decided it right there.  Jim Bassett, Wilbur Wallis, Steve Olsen, myself and Brad hmmmm were all very close all day long.  For me it was "Death by Par."  In the afternoon I had a stretch of 15 pars in a row on 14 birdiable holes on the way to shooting a par round.

[Mike S]

Sounds like me on saturday.  Crappy drive, missed jump putt, drop in 3.  That was pretty much my last 12 or 13 holes.

[adoni]

Unnofficial Results are up for Illinois State Pro/Advanced day.
Big turnout - 135 players.

Bruce you might have been first loser, but I ended up DFL     I don't think I'll do back-to-back tournaments again, well not at Mokena at least.

Thanks Adoni! That's a big bonus to have the scores up the next day.

Brett ...

Fixed Matt Hall's PDGA # .... I saw the two and didn't know which to take.

[Bruce Brakel]

Unofficial ratings are much higher than I thought they would be.  I thought I played 890-915 but they are saying more like 920-940.  It felt like I missed a lot of birdie opportunities.  Baskets were just sitting there on most of the holes!   

[Dan Michler]

unofficial ratings are within 5 points of what i predicted they would be after the round.  my rating predicting skills are getting finely honed at this point.  if anybody wants to know their rating immediately, i am your man!     i do charge a fee of 25 cents per rating though.

[Bruce Brakel]

Next time, I'll bet you 25 cents!  I've been off ever since they put in the juice and then took it away and then lifted up the bottom end of the slope a little. 

[CEValkyrie]

It does not look like the TD report for IL States made the deadline for ratings.  One of my better tournies this summer .
