sounds fun. have to check it out

Played here with my brother today & I gotta say the course is looking great. You still get punished for going too far off fairway, but they've done a great job taking out some of the brush in the usual landing areas, only had 1 time where we had to search & found the disc in 5 minutes.

Pre-registration is up and functional on the website!  http://www.paperorplasticsports.com/oswegoopen.html

The custom hot stamp is attached.  I'm picking up a LOT of plastic with this stamp on it as I know that people like the small stamp like this.  If you're familiar with the Sinnissippi stamp - this one is very much the same in size and placed on the disc like a thumb grip.  I kept it simple.

As long as the PDGA posts the event and gives me the thumbs up, this will be an AM B-Tier and Pro C-Tier.  The custom stamp will generate more than enough sponsorship to get the required $500 added cash value to the AM's.

I am also purchasing 50 CFR discs - probably the CFR Champ Gator and the CFR Star Whippet-X.  These are $20 each, and proceeds will go towards a couple things - probably added pro cash, maybe some CTP's, and some money goes towards the Fox Valley Metro's concrete funds that they are trying to raise for concrete pads to be installed at Oswego.

I would anticipate receiving the order the week of the tournament.

Don't forget that space is limited - only 95 players max!

Haven't played Oswego yet, looking forward to the event! 
Edit- just registered- it took like 10 seconds.  I like your pre-reg process...nice and quick

[duain]

do we buy the raffle tickets at the tournament or before?

[Sr.]

do we buy the raffle tickets at the tournament or before?

There will be some you can purchase before the tournament and if you see any Fox Valley members at any events before the Oswego Open you can purchase some from them for a small donation of $5 towards concrete tees at Eagle Ridge in Oswego. Thanks

[duain]

cool, im good for at least two tickets, played the course once and loved it especially hole four. you guys do a great job makin things look nice.

played the course once and loved it especially hole four. you guys do a great job makin things look nice.

There have been may hours put into that hole to make it what it is. Sr has put in more hours of hard work on that course than most people play disc golf in a year. It has paid dividends. The fairways are there now and the schule is rough, but fair. Hole 4 has kind of become his "baby" as it is the signature hole on the course now. Now we just need those concrete tees in the woods to really make the course nice and about 5 more years to get rid of the poison ivy that keeps coming back as well as getting the fairways completely groomed.

By the way, the prizes are really starting to come in now for the raffle. As Scott stated above there are:
- a 4 pack of discs
- a 2008 CE roc (x out/ double stamp)
- a Skillshot portable basket
- an Innova Competition bag (holds about 20 discs) filled with (so far):
a dx aviar
a 1st run force
a FLX Surge SS
an 11X KC PRO roc
a supercolor ESP zone
a drone
and a few others I cannot remember
pencils
scorecard holder
fox metro dgc mini
stickers
Discraft hat

Once again:
tix will be available with a donation to our concrete tee fund of $5.
We will ddraw the winners in between the 1st and 2nd round.
Winner does not need to be present to win.
Tix will be available both before and during this event. If you are interested please contact any Fox Metro officer.

Sr. your hard work is appreciated. when i walked up to 4 and took my first look from the tee pad i thought this is a picture perfect hole, and i played the hole twice.

Thanks for signing up, Dana   I added your name to the list.  I'm glad that the pre-reg was nice and easy.  The only thing that I don't like is that it doesn't collect a mailing address... but do I really need that?  I get a valid email address with the paypal payment in case I need to contact the person.  I may work on the possibility to add a checkbox to see if you wanted to be added to a mailing list or something to send out info about upcoming tournaments.

You'll like the course - it's not easy, but it's definitely a course worthwhile to play.

[duain]

i agree the course is wothwhile and has mostly all the basic challenges.  wait till you see hole four. beautiful
