And the hotstamp version:

[Mukey]

Schweet!

I'll be there.

[tacimala]

Those are sweet stamps, will they be part of the players pack or available for merch purchase?

[kyle]

Thanks. I think the SuperColors may end up in the player packs, but I'm not sure what the final decision was.
Serg might know.

[skipache]

this was a fun event last year and i plan on going again

[SERG]

Those are sweet stamps, will they be part of the players pack or available for merch purchase?

We're still discussing the player packs. Can't really give a "good" comment right now. I'll post when I know more. For now, we can assume it's a 50/50 chance it will be part of the player pack 

[tacimala]

A 50% assumption is a pretty good call Serg, thanks!

HOLSTEN BASKET RAFFLE!!!!!

The Prairie Open will be holding a raffle for a Holsten Basket (for those that don't know, the same designer of the Am Worlds basket). Details are still being finalized.

Sunday will also feature a raffle including the opportunity to win a few other baskets.

Proceeds from both raffles will be used to complete a new, permanent 9-hole course behind Tallent Hall on campus (east of Hole #4).

[tacimala]

Will the baskets on that course be BLOOD RED?

[SERG]

I depends on how my putter is working that day.............

Actually, there is a good chance there might be ONE blood red out there.

I'm playing music out of town Fri-Sat that weekend, so I can't make it this year. Could you guys reschedule the tournament please? 

[kyle]

The discs are in, saw them last night. They turned out pretty nice.

Who's planning on playing? I don't see very many people on the pre-reg list so far, please don't wait until the day of if you don't have to.

[SERG]

We will likely have at least three extra holes (possibly four) (Because of construction we may need to "borrow" one or two of the IOS placements. Who do I talk to about copyright infringement?  )

BASKETS ARE IN TOURNY POSITION

Open, Pro Masters, Advanced Men: plan on playing two rounds from the long tees (#8 ludacris long).

Course Description

[Brian]

All the baskets are in tournament positions, except for #16 (which will be moved Saturday morning of the event)

[DougEDawg]

Will basket 16 be in the deep, right position in the woods, or in the short, right position just inside the woods?

[SERG]

#16 will be deep into the woods.

[SERG]

RAFFLE! RAFFLE! RAFFLE!
Bring your dinero!

If you are not currently aware, we will be putting in a new, permanent 9-hole course behind Tallent Hall (east of holes #4 and #5). In an effort to generate funding for teepads, signage, etc. we will be holding a raffle of various things. There will be two separate raffles (actually three). One will be solely on Saturday; one will solely on Sunday; and the Infamous Holsten Basket will be raffled all weekend.

[discpro99]

#16 will be deep into the woods.

why isnt that hole there more often? its one of the best holes on the course.
