IOS #5 @ Aurora, IL--09/15&16/07

[SERG]

Katrina Kozar is not playing. I believe she was planning to roll it over to the next IOS. I'll confer with her/Carla and report back.

She's not.

[mirth]

Yup, I got that one. She's already set up for #6.

[mirth]

Serg - I believe that it will be the $20 for you for day of registration. You may or may not be able to plead your case w/Brett/Bruce/Becky/Jon, tho. YMMV

Light frost out by me this morning (Elburn)!

[Jon Brakel]

Great weather! The cool down kept the biting and flying insects at bay but it was still plenty warm enough to play comfortable. Here are Saturdays results: http://www.pdga.com/tournament/tournament_results.php?TournID=6613&year=2007&includeRatings=1#Open

76 players - 4 more than last year!

I thought Travis Rose was a current PDGA member?

Nice shooting Krupicka! Sorry I couldn't be there to witness it.  We had 1881 riders for the North Shore Century. It was quite a day.

[CEValkyrie]

Great weather! Great turnout! NO ACES!!! Big ace pot rolling over to IOS #6.

Thanks Dave, Neither you nor Diana were on my card second round. Just didn't seem right. Its a good thing AM4 is 850 and under next year or I'd be fighting from the bottom of AM3.

He is. Someone else filled out his card and didn't put a number. I figured I'd look it up later. Anyway, that's fixed. Putting in his PDGA number brought everyone's round ratings down 1 or 2 points...including his own!

Thanks to everyone who helped out, the other Brakels, Brett, Mukey, Krupicka, me, and anyone who might have helped Brett get out and bring in baskets, Dan maybe.  Thanks to the Aurora club for getting the word out.  Attendance was excellent. 

We got home at 4:00 a.m.  Today I have to do inventory and go to work on the next one.  I'll try to do even more Cubs and Bears discs, and some Yodas, and a few other specials I have in mind.  The Sunday players did not get to see too many of the Cubs and Bears discs.  But hopefully a lot of them will play Saturday for the $500 ace pool at Round Lake and they can grab one for their player pack.

Jon,

   I noticed a few things on the Adv/Pro day.

Nate Yemm #26549. He's currently listed as Neil Yemm with no PDGA #.
Matt Welter #28076 has a pdga but is not current.
Bob Gorbold #29428. I missed this one during prereg. Not current.

Brett- you may want to add to your file for the course routing sheet for Aurora two things as a reminder for next year.

1) swap which tee is played at hole #2. Use the left (North) tee for Rd 1 and the right  (South) tee for Rd 2. When playing two rounds of longs it doesn't really matter, but when you play long and then short, it matches up better.

2)  We should block the incorrect tee pad for that hole for both rounds. I felt bad for the 12 or so players that received +2 on Sunday.

I don't feel sorry for the ones that tried to argue that the course routing sheet wasn't clear (when it was) and especially when they were only 300 feet from tourney central to make sure they did the right thing.

I'm not sure about that - I believe it's a little easier from the left side for some reason - but I think maybe most people 'think left to right' and it's easier to remember that 1st rd is left, 2nd rd is right.

Those that think but don't read, that is.

[pickax]

I think part of it is the locals call the obstructed left side tee the long tee and the straight shot right hand tee  the short tee.

[stpitner]

it also follows the pattern that the "short" tee box is always to the right of the sign post (and also is the side with the distances posted) - I can't remember if there are exceptions to this on this particular course, but in those exception cases it's obvious what tee is the short and what tee is the long.
