Hello,

Is Gary Lewis still TDing the Lumber Cup? If so, could Jon or someone contact him and see if he will give permission for you to post tourney registration information including his address to send the entry fee. Thanks in advance. At what course will the Lumber Cup be played at this year. If it is Joliet, then I just plan to drive up that day. If it is Mokena, I will be getting a hotel room Sat. night.

This is next weekend. West is definetly a deuce or die course. Still, Gary's tourneys are good & West is fun despite it's must-make-birdies nature. Hope to see some of the usual suspects out there.

1 reason I know Gary gets huge attendance is his low entry fees.  28 bucks for ADV.  I don't even care if the payout isn't that great (not saying that Gary's isn't) if I'm only tossing down 28 bucks to play.

Paying 45 bucks for a 1 day event is brutal, no matter how much merch you can win.

I hear that! Heck even $35 for Int at Wham Bam is high, but I know he's giving good player's packs & CTPs, and for me, that's good value. That way I'm not thinking about whether or not I'll be winning(usually not), I can just focus on making the next shot & forgetting the last one.

I'm pre-registered

Will hit up a breakfast spot in Joliet beforehand & then a full round to practice before if anyone wants to meet up

Playing on a Saturday again...feels weird

bah, humbug!   

In all seriousness I'm not that worried. Even if Joliet gets a bunch of rain Th night, with Friday between it & the event I feel OK about the conditions.

[J.R.]

I know this is always an annoying question, but anybody have a good sense of when this one might finish? 

[Mukey]

Some time Saturday afternoon/evening

25 or 27 holes, lots of people, looking like decent weather

Just about the same as any other decently run tournament

[damonshort]

if it's a full field, which it usually is or close to it, you're looking at a couple of 3-hr rounds, so it'll be 5 at the earliest before the awards start.

I'm not going to start a new thread for this but it is kind of funny.  I went out to Kensingtion to sign up myself and the kid for the DGLO.  Within the space of five minutes I ran into KVN, Barrett White and Elliot Fu.  I thought I was in Michigan.  I felt so confused. 

[Dan Michler]

its a rough feeling when i'm jealous of kevin lavely

[Bruce Brakel]

KVN was asking assistant TD Todd White where to camp and Todd said, "Camp at my house.  I'm five minutes away."  Then KVN started trying to sell Todd Quest stuff.  KVN did THAT in the right order!

DGLO update on the Lumber Cup thread:

KVN played like a pro today and is in a cashing place after the first round.  Kira caddied for Scott Papa from Washington and he played very well.  I spotted all day for four discs and a sammywhich.  Kira spotted half the day for two discs. 

Barrett is one throw off last cash.  Kira is caddying for Barrett tomorrow.

[Bruce Brakel]

Kira has caddied three rounds so far for three different players, and she has spotted for the equivalent of a round.  She's been getting paid in cash and discs and selling the discs she won't ever throw to me for wholesale.  She's up $85 and two really good discs.

I've spotted for the equivalent of two rounds [22 foursomes on hole 1 and 18 foursomes on hole 17 at the Tobbogan, and I've sold a few discs too, by accident, right out of my bag!  And I've bought some discs from Kira.  I'm up $26 and eight discs. 

I love this tournament! 

Although I was driving sucky in the morning, my putting was on fire.  Todd More mentioned that he had never seen me putt so well.  I was putting with center weighted Crossfires.  So a guy in our group bought them from me on the lunch hour.  The other disc I sold out of my bag I was hoping to sell it when I put it in my bag, a 2003 DGLO Z Storm.  He offered me $25 for it but I thought $20 was plenty. 

I played pretty sucky today.  Barrett played well.  KVN was so-so.  Kelsey was so-so but she's been playing all left-handed for the past four or five months.
