IOS #5 - The Streamwood Sturgeon

[mirth]

online prereg ends this friday at noon.

[Jon Brakel]

when is the cutoff for pre reg  

Online cut off is usually Friday morning, but it is actually when Mirth has the time on Friday. You can't go wrong by doing it now.

Glad you were able to see the alternates. These will be the weakest temp holes i set up of all 7 IOS events. There just isn't much out there to work with. 12C is probably the best of the 4. 12A will have that OB to the left so it won't be a gimme. I went OB on it both rounds last year .

Hopefully we don't get any big rains prior to the tourney.

Are there 2 different tees for 12A? I thought I saw that last Saturday. Yeah, 12C is probably best; I parked it where it was last year, and then I discovered you'd moved the basket mark up the hill.  Otherwise, it looks like chances of the ace pool getting hit this weekend are extremely high. 

As Juan mentioned though, it'd be nice if the PTB could re-create some sort of path on #13....

I'd originally planned on playing both days since I figured I had to defend my (2-person pool) GM title from last year, but a friend of mine from New Orleans changed his travel plans and is coming this weekend instead. He's a big horse race guy and the Arlington Million is Saturday; I couldn't ask him to tag along both days anyhow, esp since it's not a really 'exciting' course, but we'll both be there Sunday. I doubt he'll play - he's never played before - but he is a gamblin' man...

Brett updated pre-reg at PDGA.com.  Unless it was Mirth.  Thanks! 

Trophy discs are done for pre-registered divisions. 

The Innova showed up yesterday.  They are out of hats and visors temporarily and out of Bulldogs forever.  Too bad on the Bulldog.  They don't have anything else that flies that slow and that overstable.  Discraft comes close with the Drone. 

I pick up the Discraft tomorrow and pack vehicles.  ESP Pulse.  ESP Wasp.  ESP Buzzz.  Yum.

Damon,
    It will be the longer of the 2. It's 255 feet with OB on the left.



I've got the tour page updated except a few mail in reg's. Those will be updated later this week.

Too bad they didn't have video of that!

Anyone who isn't an immediate family member getting hurt in a non-life threatening way is just good stuff!

On Sunday there will be 5 CTP's donated for the first round. These items are being donated by club member Scott Pittner---Paper or Plastic Sports.
Thanks Scott.

My brother is going to come out for this tournament, but my mom hasn't been able to send out the check yet.  Is it ok to pay by check on Sunday?  Make it out the same way as pre-reg?  Or is it cash only?

He'll be there early enough to register, it's just that my mom couldn't get the check out yesterday for him.

TROPHY ONLY
What is trophy only?
You may pay the trophy only entry fee and play the event. You are playing for a trophy only. If you finish in a position that is awarded a trophy you get the trophy. You do not get a payout if you finish in a prize/cash finishing position.

Why play trophy only?
You may play trophy only for several reasons.
1. Tired of not having a chance to finish in a cashing spot at events? Save a few bucks and play trophy only.
2. Want to test the field and move up a division without paying the full fee? Save a few bucks and play trophy only.
3. Want a lesson from a professional player? Play pro trophy only for $10.00 and watch and play with the pros.
4. Want to try to hit an ace when the ace pool rolls over & it's $750.00? Intermediate, Rec, and Juniors, move up and play trophy only advanced or pro and you get that opportunity.

Do I get a player pack when I play trophy only?
If you are playing in an amateur division you get a player pack. If you are playing in a pro division you do not get a player pack
