IOS #1 @ Kenosha, WI--04/21&22/07

[tacimala]

Man the weather is just gorgeous today. I had to take a 2 hour lunch downtown just to soak in some of it before coming back to work. Tomorrow should be even better!

[CEValkyrie]

Course is looking great! Weather looks perfect for April. All names have been added to the PDGA Toiur Page so the list is up to date and accurate. 30 spots left for tomorrow. Get there early if you plan to play.

1st round scores are up. http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6600&year=2007&includeRatings=1#Open

I had to miss my first IOS because I came down with bronchitis this week and my doctor and Becky didn't want me to travel. So, I'm playing the part of Houston Control today and posting the scores remotely with Maddisen calling the scores into me.

[Mukey]

That's no joke, get better man.

From the looks of it, VERY few people under par.

[Jon Brakel]

Final scores should be going up within about 30 minutes. I have half the scores for the second round so far. Unofficially Chris Heeren has won and Brett and Neal are tied for second in MPO. Barrett White wins handily in FPO. Tom McManus in MG1 and Ben Singer in MA1. Full scores up shortly.

Full scores and unofficial ratings are up:

This Houston Control thing is pretty good actually. During the second round I was able to check everyone's PDGA number to make sure there weren't any typos. Should make the unofficial ratings more accurate. That's something that I don't have time to do when I'm actually at the tournament.

Jon - David Keiser (playing Adv TO today, 27642) his name is misspelled... Not that it matters since his pdga number is correct but its a cosmetic thang.

Saw the scores are up. Good 2nd rounds Heeren & Swanson. Same too for Brett - two solid almost 1000-rated rounds.

[Jon Brakel]

Fixed. And I added Mullens PDGA number. That brought ratings down by 1. Apparently you don't have to be current to be a 'gator.

I forgot my tag...how do I go about getting that back again?

[damonshort]

good grief, Jon. Feel better - right now!!

that second round wind was apparently pretty strange for nearly everyone. I felt like for the most part I played better the 2nd round even though my score was worse - and statistically that appears to be the case. By some fluke I had the 'best' real-old-guy round in the afternoon, but the hole I'd dug this morning was too deep to crawl out of. So I shot better than my rating for the day, which only indicates that my rating is pretty pathetic to begin with.

Mad props to David 'da Bomber' Barish who got the only birdie on our card in the 2nd round. I think.

[nickwc]

worst round ever.

[Jon Brakel]

[tacimala]

Wow looks like the guy leading Rec after first round won't be playing in that division for long! Nice shooting!

[Jon Brakel]

Wow looks like the guy leading Rec after first round won't be playing in that division for long! Nice shooting!

He said he's never played a tourney and his freinds told him to play rec...or that's what I heard.

Should move to adv. if that's typical shooting for him.

[tacimala]

Nah you gotta start somewhere so that's cool that he did so well in his first tourney. Looks like round 2 brought him back down to earth a bit but he'll be in advanced after the ratings update most likely.

[stpitner]

well, even though my rounds were TERRIBLE, I'm really happy there was an AMIV division.  I was too tired to putt worth anything, but I at least felt like I had something to shoot for in the second round other than playing the round to get it over with and go home.

I look forward to playing at Lombard!

[CEValkyrie]

Fantastic weekend. The weather was awesome and Parkside looked great. I want to thank all the guys that worked on the course and moved baskets.

I have a few tags and will get them back to people as I see them.

The ace pool is approxiamtely $340 and will be rolling over to Lombard.

[Schwinn2]

 Ben and I had a great time!  Jon, do you mind staying home every tourney?    The Brakel women did a great job keeping things running smoothly.  It was a bonus to go home and find the rounds already posted. Thanks to Barrett for putting up w/ all us adv women.  It's always a good time playing with her. 

[pickax]

I'm really glad there was an AM IV division, esp. since I won. :-) Though looking over the results, there were at least six others that qualified for AM IV, but played AM III. I'll have to do better if I want to win again.

My wife is laughing at me / giving me grief every time she looks at my forehead. I have a nice line where my cap stopped. The top half is white and the rest of it is sunburned. I need to add sunblock to the standard bag supplies.

Kudos to all the people that got the course ready.

See you all at Lombard.
