IOS #4 @ Rockford, IL--07/07&07/08

[Bruce Brakel]

If I pre-register but then can't make it because my wife goes into labor, how soon do I have to notify someone that I can't make it and push the registration to another IOS?  I will have internet access, but not until we are in the recovery room after having the baby.  Is there someone that I could call should something happen?

Thanks

From brasscash.com:

Pre-registration Policy->
If the TD is contacted Friday or before the event weekend, the pre-registered players money will be held and can be used at any of the IOS events left in 2007. If they don't show to any of the later events the money will be used in the prize pool at the final event. If the TD is not contacted Friday or before the event weekend the money will be added to the prize pool that weekend.

There is contact information at Brasscash.com also.

Also, could we get a map of the alternates holes?

Thanks.

Thanks.

They will painted & marked on Friday. I have no maps for this course. I can tell you the alternates on the old course will be exactly the same as the alternates played in the 2005 event.

I should have those on a google map shortly. Brett- Any ideas for alts on the new? Same as last?

The google satellite doesn't have great resolution, but this is to the best of my knowledge. Brett has last word.

Mike,

Great job with the map. The only one on the old coruse that needs to be fixed is the tee for #20. It's across the road near the tree line.

There will be 2 temps on the new course.
4A & 4B
4A will run along the road. Par 4 with basket by the road. Similar to what was played in 05.
4B will be an anhyzer shot similar to what was played in 05 as well playing back to tee #5.

New Course Routing (Alts will be played between holes 4 and 5, but are listed last in order on the map). Again, these are only approximate and to the best of my ability given the tree cover at Rockford.

Google Course Map (New)

(I also updated the tee on the old course map)

[SIUFrolf]

about how long would you say 4A is? and is it being counted as a par 4?

[Bruce Brakel]

Par only matters if you are late to the tee.  Then you get par+4.  At USADGC we had a guy who was two holes late and hole 2 is a par 5.  That was one of the four reasons I was not DFL.

I can tell you the alternates on the old course will be exactly the same as the alternates played in the 2005 event.

It doesn't matter to me since I can't get out there before Saturday anyhow, but do you really mean 2005 or 'last year' (2006) ?

2005

[SERG]

Will anyone be available at the course on Friday to take registrations? I might be a game time decision.

[Bruce Brakel]

I expect to be there Friday, most of the day. 

[airspuds]

would you recommend playing this course blind  (  as innever playing before)

[can't putt]

If your choices are play blind or play not at all, I'd advise play blind.  These are very good courses and fun to play.

It'd be a good idea to at least walk the course before hand, though.  Especially the course with the concrete tees.

[Bruce Brakel]

I play them with very little practice.  If you can't see the basket, you can walk up, have a look, and come back and throw. 

[Bruce Brakel]

Just a reminder, the Rockford Jumbo Throw Discraft Player Pack is for 24 Brass instead of 20.  50 each day.  More on Sunday if all of Saturday's aren't used.  You have 24 hours left to reserve one.  Then it is just first come, first jumboed.  If we run out of these, everyone else gets 15 Brass. 

[tree]

I'd like to reserve one for Sunday

[mirth]

Bruce - is the jumbo players pack discraft only or can I use it for DGA too?

[mirth]

Bruce - Kurt Krasinski requested in his preregistration today that you reserve a jumbo for him both days. He's prereg'ed for sat & sun.
