Community Park was in very good condition today. There is very litle snow and very little mud. There is some ice.   We played shorts then whatever longs had concrete the second time around.  11 was fine today.  However, once it melts it will be a big mess. I love what was done with 2.  The basket is just behind the creek.  its a risk/reward for big arms from the shorts. for me its a basic 3 as I have no intention of trying to go over the creek.  From the longs it requires an upshot to land over the creek but not go too far.  Big arms have the luxary of making a long put/upshot that is easier to control  I hit the bridge on the upshot from the long tee and rolled over for a nice 15 ft put which I missed.    Looking forward to coming back in two weeks. Sorry Scott, but i am not going to pre reg until the week of the event so I know it will not be a blizzar or thunderstorm or other chaotic climactic event.

thanks for the report!  It sounds like it's in really good shape.  Pre-registering by next Friday helps as I'll have the money from the registrations before the tournament, but I'm ok with people pre-registering during the week before the event as well.  The more people that pre-register the shorter the lines and the better I'll feel about how all of this is going to work out!  I don't have an my own armada of people like the Brakel family to get all that registration stuff done quickly and smoothly.  Maybe that will change in 8-10 years! lol.

Oh yes it was definitely nice out there today, put in 2 rounds, had a great time.

how s the course ?

thinking of playing here sunday
bag tags anyone ?

[OvEr HaNd AsSaSiN]

i went up there earlier in the week and it is in good shape... There was atleast two iches of ice under the snow in some spots.  Also if you plan on playing the long tees not sure if anyone has shovled them.. But they were not shovled when i went...

couple new sponsors -

Linda's Pizza (corner of Raynor & Taylor in Joliet)
Mark Sylvester, Owner of P.I. Home Inspection Services

I'll try to get the full sponsorship listing available soon.

Just a quick "how cool is that?" for what Linda's Pizza is chipping in - every player in their handbook will receive a coupon for $5 off a L or XL pizza.  A free L or XL pizza will be given away in the ace fund (if no ace's hit the closest two people split the money, but the overall closest gets the pizza), and there will be 5 CTP's for a free L or XL pizza!

Right now we have over 30 CTP's!!!  There's a good chance that every hole will have a CTP for both rounds!

By the way Channahon was soggy but very playable today.

Scott,

Will there be a discount on registration for the PDGA at this tournament?  If so, can the PDGA discount for tournament registration be applied immediately?

[stpitner]

Scott,

Will there be a discount on registration for the PDGA at this tournament?  If so, can the PDGA discount for tournament registration be applied immediately?

I can answer the second part of the question now.  You CAN sign up or renew for the PDGA at the tournament.  I would give you some sort of receipt that you can use as a membership "soft card" until they send you your official card.  It would immediately take affect and you would not be charged the $10 non-member fee.

As far as a discounted rate - I'll have to contact mirth or someone at DISContinuum to see if I can submit it through them and get (I believe) $5 off the entry fee.

Another possible option I believe would be to renew through this website - bring a copy of the receipt for your renewal, and then I will not charge the $10 non-member fee.

i dont have my card yet

but i joined thru the club

pdga shows me active

should i bring anything else

[bigeric]

I was going to ask the same thing, except I pre-registered and also do not have my 08 pdga card (haven't received the package yet)  Is there anything I need to bring if I pre-reg'd?
