2003 ILLINOIS OPEN (PDGA SANCTIONED C-TIER) 08-10-03

[CEValkyrie]

I would have no problem with that Jon.

[CEValkyrie]

I've talked/communicated with many by e-mail that have seen the thread on the PDGA Discussion Board. Free publicity to the right crowd.

[CEValkyrie]

Very cool Jon! We had 2 more Pre Registrations today besides those 2.

[CEValkyrie]

I would like to thank Bruce for publicizing the Illinois Open at the awards ceremony yestarday at the Illinois State Championships. Jon also talked to all the AM's that played on Saturday. Thanks guys!



The word is out & many know about the tournament. Leagues at Waukegan, Libertyville, Round Lake, Streamwood, Lombard, Kenosha & Crystal Lake have all been informed.



Flyers have been posted @ Waukegan, Libertyville, Round Lake, Streamwood, Lombard, Crystal Lake, Kenosha, Sheyboygan & Manitowoc. If you are heading to any other courses, please help & post a flyer. If you have posted a flyer at any other courses, please let me know.



Rob Schoenhoft has informed the Rockford Area.



I am heading down to stay with my parents for a few days. I'm going to post flyers at Morton, Bradley, & Pekin.



Our webmasters have done a terrific job on the website getting information on quickly. Everything looks fantastic. Thanks Jay & Mirth!



The PDGA message board has been posted on many times. Please stop by & pump up the IO.



Please help spread the word. This is our chance to host a big event & get our name out to people. It is also a big opportunity to publicize the Steady Ed/Blast? We should have flyers ready to go to hand out that day.



I'm still hoping club members will pre-register. It looks good having 30+ pre-registrations 3 weeks in advanced for a first time tournament. I would also hate to see someone running late the morning of & no spots are available. I am optomistic that all 90 spots will fill.

[CEValkyrie]

I forgot. I have one tent on hand that Jeff Kirkton, AKA Slim donated. I'm picking up another next week & the park district is providing one. We should have plenty of shade out there.

[CEValkyrie]

Awesome Dr. Dye!! What division are you playing. Advanced or Intermediate? I'm assuming you paid by paypal last night. Thanks!

[CEValkyrie]

15 Days until the big day. 71 spots remaining.

[CEValkyrie]

AWESOME!!! Cya in 2 weeks.

[CEValkyrie]

Thursday or Friday. I won't be back home until Wednesday night.

[CEValkyrie]

25 Pre Registered, 11 days until the IO. Please pre register to save Jon & I some time & relieve some stress the day of. Thanks.

[CEValkyrie]

Just a reminder. Anyone still interested in a hole sponsorship or any other sponsorship, please try to pay Jon by Saturday. He is going to get all the sponsorship stuff done on Sunday.

[CEValkyrie]

Only 7 days until the OPEN! Jon & I are very excited. I hope you are. Pre-Registration has been better than expected. 34 so far & i'm sure a few more will trickle in. Over a 1/3 of the field is set & it could easily be 1/2 by the end of the week. A big thanks to Jay for setting up the PayPal Account!

WEBMASTERS (Could you get this on the Front Page today?)

Fairfield Road will be closed South of 176 on August 10th.



I'm not sure how far south or to what road. I saw the sign today.

[CEValkyrie]

Jon & Damon

     #10 was the only hole that we measured around the bend. There was no really good way to get the 250FT tape directly from the tee to the basket. The rest of the holes were measured from tee to basket.

Airspuds (08-06-2003 06:14 p.m.):

can i get some directions from

294 and cicero

Take I294 North towards Milwaukee.



I294 will turn into I94 near Lake Cook Road (Continue North)



Take I94 to Belvidere RD (120)-] Exit West



Continue West on Belvidere RD (120) to Fairfield RD-] Turn Right .



Continue North on Fairfield Road. Fairfield Park will be on the left hand side after the stop light on Nippersink Rd (about 1 mile).

[CEValkyrie]

OK, I found out that Fairfield Rd. will be closed from

IL RTE 176 all the way to Old McHenry Rd. If you are coming from the Northwest Suburbs using 355/290/53 & taking the back roads, this might affect you. You can bypass that closed section by taking 12 (North) to 120 (East) to Fairfield or Midlolothian (North) to Gilmer (West). If you have any questions, e-mail me-] comincioli@ameritech.net

[CEValkyrie]

Any predictions on scores?



I'm predicting

Am -12

Adv -16

Pro -25

[CEValkyrie]

Damon,

     I was kind of throwing out the scores for the Final 4. I think the top pro will shot -25 for the first 36 holes.

[CEValkyrie]

Could someone bring out a few rakes on Sunday morning. Anyone planning on coming early?



Also, You should get there early if you have not pre registered. 46 spots reamain & the course was packed today with new players. I have no doubt that this tournament will fill.

[CEValkyrie]

Sorry this has been delayed. Right now Jon, Bruce, & I are sitting in a court office. Most power around here is not working but Bruce's work is on. This is also the first time i've been on a computer since we left on Sunday.



I wanted to thank Jim, Jay, Brandon, Jeff, Becky, Bruce, Jon, RLAPD & all the sponsors of the 2003 Illinois Open. This is what I envisioned when we first started this adventure. Everything ran very smoothly for a first time event.



I think Jon & Bruce should get a huge thanks. Thanks Guys!! I enjoyed being behind the scenes & seeing what has to take place to be an organized & successful events. It doesn't get much better. I've learned a lot this past weekend. You can have great payouts to Pros without skimming from the AM divisions. We hope to run this event again next year. We've already been discussing what we can modify to make it better.

Split Day B-Tier?
