Joliet Disc Golf Tournaments for '06

That's annoying. What good are ratings when it takes 6 months to get them?

I would agree. To keep ratings updated TD's need to get their reports in. I was impressed with the Prairie Open. They got the TD report in immediately & it will be included in the next update. IL States  is the only event of 14 i've played this year that is not on time.

[Bruce Brakel]

I pretty much just shot my rating, but I would have liked to see it included.  I suspect Gary thought the TD report was done because the scores were posted.  Maybe he thought he delegated the TD report when he delegated the score posting.  He is a disc golf demi-god but he is not very sophisticated about all the PDGA stuff or the computer stuff.

BUMP

Anyone planning on going Saturday?

I am unless it's a total washout

[damonshort]

Channahon, you mean? I was down there last weekend.  Recent storms produced an interesting number of water hazards, so if it rains any more before Saturday you might consider hip waders. But only one green is underwater so if you make decent shots elsewhere the water isn't really a problem.

[tacimala]

If it is produced by rain isn't it not a hazard but only casual water?

[pickax]

It's whatever the TD says it is. In this case, it would probably be casusal water.

about 6-10 in of water surrounds #6 basket for about 15 ft on all sides. If you miss the putt you'll be OB . 

(it's only a hazard if you get wet....)

[Mukey]

Have they put the basket in the new location for #14 yet?

[El Mexicano]

I am all over this one. Fun as hell and a challenging course. It rained on us last year as well.

[damonshort]

Have they put the basket in the new location for #14 yet?

#14 looks and feels different with a small brick wall to the right of the basket, with maybe the ground built up, maybe some brush cut away, but it'd been 2 yrs since I'd been down there; looks great, but I think the basket is the same place it's always been.

[Mukey]

Yah, they're eventually gonna move the pin there, but I guess they want the grass to grow in before that & the deer have been eating it & therfore pushing the pin-placement date back   

Just rumors I've heard out there, I'd have to talk to Frank "World Champ" Grimes to know the real skinny.

[tacimala]

Put up 8 foot string fences around it with bells on the corners to keep the deer out!

[pooleje]

They are going to be putting a temp basket on the wall for 14 and play that 1 round, and the old basket for the other round.  They are also adding additional temp holes (6?) for Sunday only.

As of last night, there were no puddles around any of the baskets, the ground was just a little soft.

Sweet! Now I've just gotta do the anti-rain dance for the rest of the week....although it hasn't worked that great this year so far 

[tree]

Mukey-I'll join you in the anti rain dance....I'm playing on Sunday

Brett, do you know if Gary or someone else has sent in the scores recently? It is somewhat frustrating to have a tourney that was played that long ago not included in this ratings.

Scores have been uploaded. TD has not been reported. It will be completed but it will not be included until the next ratings update. I feel your frustration. It was one of my better tournaments this year.
