2007 Prairie Open - UW-Parkside

[skipache]

that hole gets pretty interesting especially from the long tees, are we playing two longs or one of each?

[Tom McManus]

Serg,

How much of the course is  currently underwater?

[SERG]

#16 is not in the woods more often because the university says so. That's the only reason I know. It's more of a "tourny only" position. We will try and put it in the position hopefully tomorrow. There is still some clean-up work to be done for that setting.

Saturday players will play two rounds from the long tees (except Grandmasters who will play two from the short tees). #8 LONG LONG tee pad will be used if the water subsides. Currently about 3-4 inches of water back there.
Sunday players will play two rounds from the short tees.

The course did not play bad yesterday. The worst area of water was on the ludacris long tee placement for hole #8. You can see where the water has been travelling based on the "wood chip canals" in the woods. There is a little standing water by #17's basket. We have leagues tomorrow so I'll update the water condition.

[SERG]

CHANGE IN TOURNY CENTRAL

Please note that due to construction of the new student union, tournament central will be located near hole #16, inside the building. This presents two locations for possible parking:
1. Communication Arts Parking Lot;
2. Union Parking Lot (the usual one by hole #1).
The walk from the Communication Arts parking lot is probably a little closer. Follow the sidewalk upward (not into the building) and keep going straight. You'll walk right into hole #16.

Sergio,

   After being gone for Am & Pro Worlds I made a compromise to spend the weekend with my wife at the DMB concert at Alpine Valley so I won't be there.

Check this link. Adam Olsen & i'm sure some of the QC Boys that played last year might come. You might want to convince them. Any added cash?

Carla is going to the same concert and probably won't be playing on Sunday. Enjoy the concert!

I'll look at the thread. Not sure about added cash...I'll talk to Dennis.

NO NEED TO WORRY...COURSE IS LOOKING GREAT!

Our facilities crew has done a trememdous job at taking great care of the course these past couple of weeks. They've wood chipped, as of yesterday, every wooded hole. I would like to publicly thank them for all of their hardwork. They've come in on their off time to do extra work.

The ludacris long tee on hole #8 is under water. I don't think we'll be able to use that tee. The pond is back in the wooded area between hole #5 and #6. The long tee on #5 was nearly submersed in water.

If you played the Big Chill here you won't have any problems playing this weekend! Same thing, just different

Don't forget your extra money for a chance to win a HOLSTEN BASKET !

This year's SuperColor stamp design:

what discs will the be availabe on  in players packages and for resale

[SERG]

SuperColor Buzzz

I'm not sure of the models being sold. I know there will be quite a few Innova models. I'm not sure of the Discraft models. We're supposed to receive some Millenium models as well.

The Prairie Open website has the Innova hotstamp at the top of the page.

The SuperColor design looks like the poster that Kyle posted earlier on this thread.

To my knowledge, the player's pack will consist of the disc and funny money. Not quite sure what else. Funny money will be able to be used toward merchandise as well as food service. We will again have food avaialble for lunch.

[Tom McManus]

How is the course holding up with all the water?  Any worse than your last report?

[shawn]

I'm heading out to work on the course in a few minutes..  played it last night and the only holes that were bad were hole 5 and the super long #8 which is under water as well as the teepads on #5.  If you go more then 5ft left of the fairway on hole 5, you will be in 3-6 inches of water...  same goes for throwing  to far left on hole 6.

Other then that the course is in great shape.

If you are practicing today and you see a wheelbarrow in the fairway,  please either skip the hole or let us know that you want to throw a disc at us... 

[El Mexicano]

We are playing long both rounds. Hole * will be from the super long for the 2nd round. Considering the bad weather and all the flooding, does anyone know the status for tomorrow?

[Tom McManus]

I think long 8 is going to be unplayable tomorrow.

[Brian]

both rounds are from the longs on Saturday, and hole #8 will be played from the middle tee.  The 550ft tee is under water.  The rest of the course is playable, as of 7:30 tonight. 

[mcstac007]

will be there sunday Jim fisher and I are making the trip up to kenosha to play and then we will be going to the dave matthews concert after. Who says you can't pull both off on the same day . 



see ya there,

Matt

[skipache]

i made a circle 6 on hole 16 during both rounds, 

[tacimala]

Definitely one of the best run tourneys I have been to! Players packs were sweet, course setup was sweet, preparation was sweet, 10 meter circles were sweet, and somehow the water really didn't affect much overall other than the lack of skips.

My only suggestion is to remeasure 4A for Sunday!

[damonshort]

I assume the GMs played the shorts the 1st round and maybe even the 2nd? Those are some pretty phenomenal ratings otherwise...
