IOS #2 @ Lombard, IL--05/31 & 06/01 2008

www.brasscash.com seems to work fine for me.

How is traffic on the south side around 7-8am on Saturdays?  I was thinking to shoot for a 8:30 arrival, it's about a 3.5hour drive from Indy & I'll account for one stop along the way. Probably head out of Indy 4:45ish.

I think you'll have pretty clear sailing. I go to Joliet sometimes and get there at around 9 AM on the weekends to avoid the chuckers and haven't had any probs on the highways.

Yes, it seems to be working fine again.

Just finished playing a round at lombard n the grass is really high, I don't know if it will get cut but rollers look out of the question.  The parks dept. was using it's big mower to just  cut around trees nothing else.  I ran into Steve Mills and Josh Romaine (sp?) and played a round with them.  They are looking forward to playing on Sat.  I was surprised at how packed the course was at 2 something in the afternoon but remembered that finals are right now and some seniors may have half days this late in the school year.  I would say that probably 7-9 holes had a group on them the whole time we were out there.

East Madison Street and South Lewis Avenue works

The cars are packed.  We're leaving early in the morning.

I will not be at the course tonight. Severe weather is in the forecast for pretty much the entire day today. Bruce might be there. I'm not positive about that.

We will play cement tees both rounds both days.

The weather looks great for Saturday & Sunday!

Yes, Sunday pre-registrations will be taken Saturday. Please do so when the volunteer staff is not busy.

Becky takes pre-reg on Saturday. She will take it during lulls in regular registration and then once registration closes until the end of the day. She will NOT take it during registration on Saturday when there are people in line to register for Saturday.

[Jon Brakel]

We finally got all our pieces in for our new "IOS Registration Station (TM)". We have a 10x10 tent, a table that folds into a large brief case and a "bench". We haven't tried out the "bench" yet so I'm not sure if it is going to work as intended.

Look for the new Registration Station (TM) when you register or check-in this weekend. We'll also be using it as a scoring tent for the rest of the day.

This is Bruce logged in as Mike.  If you want to update the pre-reg, this is what I took:

Open $45 Anthony Smith  32838
Open $45 Jason Rose 27991
Open $45 Josh Romine 20306
Open $45 Steve Mills 23516
Open $45 Michael Frame 20305

MA2 $38 Ken Parks None
MA2 $28 Adam Viele 21818
MA2 $28 Bryson Lang 35255
MA2 $28 Anthony Battisti 34451

We stuck around until the rain started up again and we had collected from everyone who had contacted Brett or I in advance.

Bruce again.  For those of you disappointed about the tee assignment change, the course is very wet and any natural tees would turn into mud holes pretty quickly. 

There is a lot of casual squish on the course but it is still very playable.  I just got done and my feet stayed dry.  Just a review, you can play casual water straight back from the basket up to 5 meters, or longer if the TD allows.  You cannot move to the side.  You go straight back from the basket.  Unless Jon or Brett says otherwise, we usually allow infinite relief straight back from water and we give the player the benefit of the doubt as to where the water ends.

[Tom McManus]

If you are not preregistered get there early. 19 spots left. They will be gone early.

Congrats to Brett for shooting an 11 under the second round and coming from the third card to win open going away. Congrats to Brendan Cooney for shooting a 5 down second round to win intermediate. The field today was at 107.

Arrive early if you haven't signed up, only 19 spots remain.

FANTASTIC day today.  Way to go Brett!  The guy who won novice with a +4 (move up! haha).  Huge fields - at least 40 in Intermediate, 28 in Novice (awesome!).  It was another quality effort from the IOS crew
