IOS #4 Forest City Frenzy -- Rockford

[shawn]

just found out that I have a wedding on the same day as this event and I registered...  can I change my registration to round lake's event?

If not just use the entry fee for lunch or something...

[Bruce Brakel]

Rolling it over to Round Lake is no problem.  Mirth, Jon, make it so. 

[Chainmeister]

Its kinda cool you can see the concrete teepads on the old course from 1355 ft

shawn/jon/bruce - done on my end. brett - update the pdga!

[Bruce Brakel]

Thank you. 

I'm working on trophies now.  I've decided to go a little deeper in Advanced.  If pre-reg picks up in any other divisions, I'll go deeper there too.  Right now I'm not doing Jr.s < 16 , 13 and Adv. Women because no one has pre-registered.  The trophy deadline is Tuesday at 5:00 or so. 

All of the trophies are under dye now.  I did a lot of inverted fire patterns.

Could someone fix the spelling on my brother's name please?  It use to be spelled correctly, but unfortunately now it is not.  It should be Keith Pitner.  He's registered under Rec for IOS #4.

Thanks!

Sent in registrations for myself and Joe Weitzel today.

[Bruce Brakel]

I rinsed the trophy discs today at lunch time.  I really like the Adv Grandmaster trophy.  The lettering stretches pretty much from ear to ear on that one!  I'll see if I can get some pictures up of some of the ones I like.

Bruce-I have an advanced woman-Katrina Kozar. Mirth-her fees were paid for IOS#1 but she cancelled the week of. She called us and wants to play Rockford. Call or PM me if you have any questions about her.

Just in time.  I'll get on it.

Adrian Sr is playing Advanced on Saturday? I thought he usually played Adv. Masters.

Sr. also mentioned that he and Jr. were going to be there both days-what division is he playing on SUnday?

[shawn]

Adrian Sr. is trying to qualify for Am Worlds....  Jr. got his and since he has to go, he wants to play..  So, yes he is playing with the young guns..

[Bruce Brakel]

If Adrian Sr. plays steady Adrian Sr. golf he'll qualify.  I might switch over and try to qualify. 

Jon, Becky, anyone who's not exhausted from playing on Saturday or who cares, we are supposed to pass out invitations at the tournament.  I'll print the list of pre-qualified players and try to remember to pick up some gold stars for their leaderboard cards.

I think you mean Am Nationals...

Sr. has been playing some good golf. He would have qualified at Wham Bam if he would have played Advanced.

rooms are going to be pretty hard to come by this weekend because a huge annual convention that takes place here - the sweden house was the best deal i could find at 56 plus tax a night.  they only have 4 single rooms available so you may want to jump on one soon.   the ramada inn in south beloit is a great place too but i am not sure what their availibility is like.  if any of you out there have any questions about accomodations or anything rockford specific i'll be more than happy to help you out.  see you all this weekend!

[SERG]

how far is the sweden house from the course?

[Mukey]

Google maps says about 8 1/2 miles or 20 minutes.

[whofarted]

Google maps says about 8 1/2 miles or 20 minutes.

thats sounds about right - just go east on state street (about 5mi) until you get to sprinfield rd.  take a right, going north, on springfield (about three miles) and the park will be on your left hand side.
