Look forward to seeing you out there Jason!

Thanks for the Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club for taking up the sponsorship offer and their donation of a couple CTP's for the tournament!

Flyer has been attached.  You're better downloading the image instead of trying to view it on the website.

The regular bathrooms are going to be winterized and closed by the time of this tournament, but I DO have a porta-potty scheduled to be there.  That's always an important thing to have!

[stpitner]

Yay I finally have a semblance of a website up.  Granted there are all of 2 pages and the website design is FAR from complete (in fact I'm expecting to overhaul a lot of that), but it suffices.

I have all of the information about upcoming tournaments up there now.  It also links you to my store and you can decide to display only discs or only cards.

Feel free to let me know your comments, although I know that a lot of links don't really do anything and that there isn't a whole lot of content.

Come out to this event. One of the last times to get event points this year.  2008 Worlds is going to draw close to 1000 people.

[stpitner]

I went out to best shot doubles this morning and then stuck around afterwards for the next 4 or so hours to find the alternates and get distances and such.  I'll post the scorecards probably Monday night, but I have the distances for a lot of the alternates and such.

I couldn't find hole 8's alternate marked in the ground - the one behind and to the left of the tee near the pond, but I found a dirt patch that looked like a pretty good spot for the alternate.  From looking in the image gallery it looks like it's either the same spot or really close to it.  I also am changing up 9's alternate because the current 18 is too easy with the brush cleared and I didn't know where 27 was.  The one that I'm setting up is 20 feet behind 9's tee on the woodchip path that goes from 8 directly to 9.  There's a big tree directly in front of you forcing you to go either left or right.  Left is a little bit more open, but the right route can be hit just as easily.

I'll be out on Friday (hopefully!) to set out the flags and paint the alts.  I'll have 2 sets of colored flags - one for regular tee, and one for the alternates.  The only thing I'm afraid of if there is any bad weather in the week that makes the ground slippery I'll have to switch to two rounds of concretes.  I'll decide on Friday.

ALTERNATES - For those who want to get out there and practice:
1 - Marked hole 19 on stone - 254' behind and to left of 1's tee, on other side of path, close to tennis course
2 - #11 on Stone - 360' - behind and to the left of 2's tee, tennis courts blocks lefty hyzer.
3 - #21 on stone - 308' - behind and left of 3's tee, 44' directly behind a large tee that is to the left of the concrete tee.
4 - #13 on stone - 248' - behind and right of 4's tee, close to the sidewalk - hard to find stone because grass was covering a lot of it.
5 - #14 on stone - 294' - far to the right of 5's tee, righties frequently like to skip this shot off the street to approach the basket.  About 40' away from the road.
5A - no change
5B - no change
5C - no change
5D - no change
5E - no change
5F - no change
6 - #15 on stone - 338' - far left away from 6's tee.  There is a triangle shape that the path makes as it circles the pond and has paths that go towards the road.  The stone is behind the triangle and closer to the road.  A little tough to find.
6A - not sure what this used to be - 182' - It was one of the former tees for 6A, it's the one that is up a bit and at the far right when looking from the current tee.
7 - #16 on stone - 217' - when taking the path from 6A to 7, before you exit out of the woods there's an area that breaks off to the right.  The alt stone is pretty easy to see.  Shot goes through a lot of the trees.
8 - no stone marking - 256' - back and to the left of 8's tee, just on the other side of the path by about 2 feet.  There's a big dirt patch that looks like where the alt might usually be.  Tough on lefties but righty hyzer is still there.
8A - no change - 272'
8B - no change - 276'
9 - no stone marking - 252' - it is 20 feet back behind 9's tee following the woodchip path that goes straight towards 8's basket.  I marked a temp line with my foot this afternoon.  You are staring right at a big tree in front of you forcing you to go left or right.
9A - 197' - same as at the club challenge, at end of clearing if you were to walk straight from 8B out towards the soccer field.  Basket tucked into a small clearing past the brush.
9B - 473' - 2 pine trees are just behind and to the right of where this tee will be, 26' behind the rocks.  Baseball field on the right and OB.  Basket is 5 feet past the path, and there's only 19' clearance before you land in the pond.  It's 35' to the right of the willow tree.  Very similar if not the same (I can't remember where the tee was) to the club challenge temp hole.

Weather forecast keeps improving for both days, so I hope to see everyone out there!  We are going to have stuff given away from Fox Valley Disc Golf Club, club memberships from the Disc Golf Alley club, and a bunch of stuff from Paper or Plastic Sports!

[mirth]

There's a rock painted white between 8 & 9 on the path that is the marker for 27.

[stpitner]

Thanks for the info mirth.  I think I remember seeing that rock, not sure.  I'll probably keep the tee where I have it mapped and measured out from.

I have confirmed that I'll be out at the course on Friday setting up tee flags and painting tees.  I can accept pre-registrations while I am out there.  Since the daylight comes to a close around 4:30, I will certainly want to be out of there before then, but I'll probably be out there something like 11 - 2pm.  Just look for a red '95 Ford Taurus in the parking lot with a jogging stroller in the backseat and you'll know that I'm there!

[stpitner]

Pre-registrations are starting to pick up!  If you have pre-registered prior to today (Wed), and don't see your name on the tournament page, please juet let me know.

Don't forget that there is a $5 pre-registration discount!  If you pre-register online or by mail, PLEASE include your PDGA # with your payment so that it helps me facilitate things a little bit better.

Forecast for the weekend is mid-40's, and most importantly: NO RAIN.

Thanks!
Scott

[can't putt]

On a threaddrifting note-- Scott, I am thinking of playing on Saturday as its a better day for me.  Use this as a promo to get some GM's to come-- there is going to be at least one sure fire donor in the field. 

Despite Chainmeister's generosity I cannot make Saturday. 

I'm 40-60 for Sunday.

[stpitner]

Online Pre-Reg is closed.  We have 11 pre-reg'd for Saturday, and could use a lot more Sunday players!  I know that I have more verbal confirmations than just the 11 as well.

I'm heading out to the course right now to put in the flags and mark everything, I will accept pre-reg's while I'm out there, but other than that, see everyone this weekend!

I'm almost done with the player's handbook.  Hopefully I'll get that posted up tonight.  I should have enough copies for 1 per hole at least, but if I have time I'll print more.   Yes I know I don't have to make one of these, but I want to run a high caliber tournament and have everyone come back out for more!

I'm attaching a sample of holes 1 and 9 so that you guys can see what I'm working on

[pickax]

Way to raise the bar. The handbook is a great idea.

[Chainmeister]

Way to raise the bar. The handbook is a great idea.

Gotta agree. You are just making it hard for me to use possibly snowy weather as an excuse.  If you don't want to print them all you can post the handbook and let us print out our own unless you wish to keep it proprietary.  Nice job Scott.

[skipache]

that handbook thing is quality, great idea definitely check it out tommorow

[Fox Metro Discer]

I want one too!!!

[mcstac007]

I would like to send a big thanks to scott for a great tournament on sunday. I love all the alternates at bevier and think they should be used at every tournament held there it brings a different aspect to the course. As everyone said the handbook is the best idea ever in my mind. the the diagrams that he had for all the holes were great. Once again thanks to scott again for a finely run tournament. I will be attending all the ones that he puts on in the future.

[Tom McManus]

Nice job on getting the scores up so quickly and good job on marking out all the tee locations.

[Bruce Brakel]

So was the weather bad there?  I played a golf course disc golf tournament that was lightly attended.  We had light flurries and drizzle, but the golf carts had windshields so it was not so bad.

I had problems with upshots and long putts.  I left everything really short.  The next day I figured out it was my new glasses.  Everything is clearer so it always looks closer.

That's my excuse, anyway, and I'm sticking with it.
