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

[skipache]

The rain prohibited the rest of the grass from being cut, I was told.

I work with two Lombard residents.  If we were really interested, I am sure we could work something out to have them apply for the pavillion. I found the people to be strangely unaware of what we were doing.  They seemed to mindlessly wander in and out of play. It did not seem like a language issue as most players pretty well pantomined for them to move out of the way.  They either did not get it or did not care. That being said, the music was pretty amusing. It helped ease the fact that I could barely walk and didn't play well.

Skipache lives in Lombard and would just advise if we were to get the pavilion it would be advisable to do so way early...

ps. If the gave me a mower, i would at minimum mow some fairways

They were mowing on Thursday before the first rain. After that it was too wet to mow again. They would have destroyed the grass if they had tried to mow on Friday.

I was wondering whether weather or high gas prices were the cause of high grass.  I would have totally understood not mowing as much because of trimming budgets vs. trimming lawns.  Actually during the St. Louis Open I was at a course that was very large & open (Creve Coure I beleive) and they're answer to reduceing budget strain on the parks was to plant wildflowers in many areas of the park & they were marked as out of bounds for disc golfers.  This adds difficulty to otherwise fairly wide open grip it & rip it holes (600-800ft) and shaves a ton of time & resources needed to maintain the property.  I thought it would be a great idea for parks across the country.  Both for time savings & OB that I stand a much better chance of retrieving my disc from as opposed to that pond on 19 that claimed my destroyer.

While finishing up the TD reports I have reposted results with prizes listed. Please let me know if the prize listed differs from the prize that you received. Also, please let me know if you are an Am that played pro and took prizes instead of cash. So far I only have Chris Jordan in that category.

Kelsey also took brass

[Bruce Brakel]

Kelsey and Chris were it.  If we need to change our procedures to make this work, let me know.

It doesn't matter to me, but you have me receiving a prize while I played trophy only.

[Tom McManus]

It is great that you are listing the payouts. Very nice.

I don't think anything needs to change...just wanted to make sure that my notes were complete.

I just have to go thru the cards and capture who played TO. The guys reading me names and PDGA numbers kept forgetting to tell me if they were TO or not. Brett does a good job getting the pre-reg TO into the doc but then some people switch and we have day of people signing up for TO also.

...Submission deadline for the next ratings update is 6/10. Jon, can I assume you'll get Lombard in for the next update?

TD reports have been finalized and submitted to the PDGA. In before the next ratings deadline.

[Bruce Brakel]

Good job.  I'm hoping to move up a couple of points.

This just in, the PDGA confirms that we are not on the list of TDs who failed to get their reports in on time.  http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=839336&Main=833828#Post839336
Tower Ridge on the other hand had three more weeks than us and did not make the deadline.  And Pinball Pines is really slacking.  Sorry for those of you whjo played those tournaments.

I know there's a ton of stuff to do to get it in correctly, but the IOS crew makes it look easy. Thanks!

You're welcome. And thanks to everything that Bruce, Brett, Becky, Mike Krupicka and Maddisen do to help me capture the data that I need to get the TD report done. (just a side note but the dictionary wants to change "Krupicka" to "pickaxe". Very weird!)
