21st Channahon Classic (09/20 & 21/08) PDGA C-Tier

[discinfool23]

Dana,

We are having issues with the dates for the event. I will post more information when I have it. Apparently there is a Cross Country meet in Channahon that Saturday. We are monitoring our options. We could possibly do back to back weeks on Sundays, move it to a different course, or even do everybody on the same day. I will post here when I know.

Thanks for the heads up.  And I appreciate you running a tournament.

If I can do anything to help, let me know.

Any new news on the date?

[dana]

PDGA.com still has PRO/ADV playing Saturday.... any word on the new date, or is it staying the same?  I'm just tryin to get my work/disc golf schedule figured out

[stpitner]

rumor was at west park that it's going to be the 21st and 28th, but I don't know what divisions would play which sunday.  Jason was busy shooting at 17 down and a 12 down on Sunday - didn't want to bug him about it

[discinfool23]

Guys (and Gals),

Here is the Flyer for the tournament. It will be consecutive Sundays (09/21 and 09/28) and will be a C Tier. I didn't have enough time to get sponsors together to make it higher (Maybe next year). Still working on everything else, but let me know if there are any questions. Thanks!

Jason

Edit: Added updated flyer

Better inform the PDGA about the dates. They have Pro/Adv on Sat the 20th and amateurs on Sunday the 21st

I am awaiting word from them on a few different things for the sanctioning agreement. It will be updated after Worlds I am sure. Thanks!

Jason

[El Mexicano]

Got it.  Thanks!

I heard the course was under some water. Any info on if this week's tourney is still going to be held?

[discinfool23]

The course is currently under water. The park is closed at the molment, and they are not sure of the status for this weekend. An event will happen this weekend for sure. If the course is closed, we will likely move to West Park. I will update everyone when I have word.

Thanks for the update.

wat kind of shape is West Park in?

wat kind of shape is West Park in?

I have been told by Gary Lewis and others that West Park appears to be in good shape. If the event is moved, we anticipate it only being for the one weekend. I heard today that the water level at Channahon has already gone down a foot since yesterday. This is a good sign, and with the forecast looking good for the next few days, I have my fingers crossed that we will be ok. Thanks for the interest!

Everyone,

I just received notice from the Park District that the Park will remain closed throughout this weekend. They hope to have it ready for next weekend for the Open/Adv tournament. The tournament will go on, however, it will be moved to Shorewood Park. I have decided that this is the best course for this event. Shorewood is a nice little course, and it has not hosted an event in several years. If everyone can please spread the word on this I would appreciate it. I hope to see everyone out there this Sunday, as it is expected to be a beautiful day!

Edit: Preregistration is now available on Jolietdiscgolf.com for the 2nd weekend of the event.

[Dan Michler]

Well that sucks.  I was going if it was at West Park.

[airspuds]

make it a 3 disc challange

you really only need mid ranges on  shorewood

great course

learned how to throw side arm at shorewood
or so i think

have fun

[discinfool23]

Well that sucks.  I was going if it was at West Park.

Sorry you feel that way Dan. It is my personal opinion that Shorewood is a tougher course than West Park. It tests much more of your game and makes you play a much more controlled round. Also, there was already an event at West Park this year, which also swung the vote a little bit. I hope to see everyone out there, for a very challening event. I can also promise everyone will get home nice and early, as Shorewood plays pretty quick.

will Pro/ Advanced play Channhon next weekend?

[discinfool23]

There is still a TON of water at Channahon. I don't have an answer for next weekend yet. You will all know as soon as I do.
