Joliet Disc Golf Tournaments for '06

[adoni]

Scores have been uploaded.  They are not official.  It was a good tourout in spite of the weather - 46 players.

Congratulations to all !

The course is playing really nice, the 6 additional holes are quite challenging.  I didn't play them yet, only walked them.

Distances ranged from 208' (+/-) to 430'.

Also --- thank you Chris for getting my disc and driving to Joliet to return it and NOT even play in the tourney!

had other golf family obligations

i would have weathered the weather playing disc
as there were only 4 major downpours as predicted

but waters edge turned into water everywhere
and my old man went in and got us rain checks ( we were the only people to quit )

Channahon is looking great! Cannot believe how much $ & work Frank Grimes puts into this course.

Yea that course was awesome. Very well manicured and maintained. I'll look forward to playing there every single time. The tournament seemed to have been very well run as well so that was a big plus also.

The weather turned out great and what I thought was a terrible day for me turned out good too.   

Thanks to all that participated ... players and those assisting Gary.

Thanks Brett for my tag.

Tony,

Thanks for getting the scores up so quickly.  It turned out to be a great day.  Frank and his crew have done a great job to make that course a great experience.

No sweat. I learned my lesson earlier in the year on rain tourneys & how much I hate playing them. Besides, it gave me an excuse to go to Louis Restaurant in Joliet. They'll actually deep-fry bacon.

Because of my back I was not able to play but Maddisen and I were out there taking pictures and video. Frank has done so much for an already great course. That was really nice to see. I haven't been to a Gary event in a while...they seem to always be when I'm doing something that weekend to prep for the next IOS or to do the TD report from the previous event. I was reminded again how smooth his events are. For all you youngsters out there, if you find yourself being a TD someday, running a smooth tournament is a good goal.

Becky had fun shooting with the old guys and said it was "like playing with women but without the hugs."

Great course, very cool extra holes and a half an hour back-up on hole 9! All this course needs are new baskets.

I'll put them up in the Discontinuum gallery when I have a chance. It won't be until sometime after USWDGC. I'm taking classes on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays right now plus going to USWDGC to take pictures and getting ready for IOS #7 so I'm tight on time. I'll post here once I get them in the gallery.

In the gallery under 2006 events. The Channahon album. I put in about 120 or photos. My suggestion before you view each photo individually is to setup a 1 second per frame slide show and watch them that way. There are some nice sequence shots that look good in the slide show. Hope you like 'em.
