Lombard Doubles

[pickax]

Due to the Taste of Lombard, for 6/28 and 7/5 only, Lombard doubles will be at the Oak Brook course.

Back at Madison Meadows this week. It will stay there for now.

I completely missed this post and was so shocked when I went over to Oak Brook the first week the doubles was over there and see everyone there.  It's weird for me to think how many people might have been there that I recognize here but wouldn't recognize in person.  I was talking to Steve somewhere around 5:30 (maybe earlier) and he and I were comparing the fiberglass poles we had.  I wanted to confirm that mine was only the 28' pole.  It sure did come in handy though because I had to make 3 discs rescues with the pole!

Is it confirmed that all of the baskets are back in place?  We were out there on Thursday, and a number of baskets had been pulled (2, 4, 18 to mention a few), and they were pulling 13 when we were throwing 19.  It looks like there were being pulled so that the machine out there could aerate the grounds (there was so much dead grass from so many people trampling through there).

Is basket 13 restored?  I presume that it is just skipped on doubles night?  Hopefully no one was hurt by a softball or something near the teepad... I know that one day after we teed and started walking towards our lies that someone homered on the softball field and the ball bounced off the teepad.

How late into the year do the doubles run?  I was thinking about playing tomorrow night, but it's still supposed to be a pretty warm day.

Thanks,
Scott

As of last wed. basket 13 was still not there, so we played from thirteen's tee to three's basket during league. I hope it's there tomorrow.

Cool, I'll actually be able to make it then.

The park district bought (and now has in their posession) three new baskets. Bill Keel is looking for some help in pulling out the ones we are replacing and installing the new ones. Stolen 13 will be replaced. I think the other two that will be swapped out are 4 and 16, but I'm not exactly sure.

[SIUFrolf]

do you guys have a tenative time for doing this so I can try to make it?

[pickax]

Not yet, I'll probably call Bill tonight to see if he has a plan. Send me a pm with your ph# and I or Bill can give you a call.

Never played lombard dubs before.  I have something in Addison that will end around 4 next Wednesdayand will have a change of clothes and a bag o' plastic in the car.  Looking forward to it. Start time 5:15?  Should be there.

[pickax]

Yeah next week (9/13)  is at 5:15. Come join us. Barrett did last night.

[Younk]

Barrett did last night.

Barrett?

[stpitner]

probably means Barrett White on team discraft.  The need to make trading cards so you can recognize all the names

[pickax]

Yup. Barrett White. It was a pleasure watching her driving form... perfectly smooth.
