One of Scott's tournaments was my first tourney.  They are run really well and it was not overwhelming at all.  I was nervous about being out there by myself, and I felt comfortable and welcomed from check-in until I got into to my car and headed for home.   And it was raining just a little bit in Oswego that day if I remember correctly.    I was very pleased and had a great time!  Definitely would go out and support his events every chance I got. 

I found a window in my schedule and I am going to come out and play.  Bringing one out with me, going to work on a 2nd and a 3rd.  See you Sunday!

So other than Serg and myself, is anyone contemplating playing advanced? Small divisions are bad enough, but it would be a bummer to only have 2.

Diabetic told me that he was going to play, but have not "officially" received a registration yet.

It looks like the Novice division will be having a very fun time   Thanks to those that are also planning on coming out!

I went out and flagged the course today.  1st round will be from the orange and yellow flags and 2nd round from the pink and yellow flags.  The yellow flags are on the holes that have the same tee both rounds (all the rubber pads).  All of the concretes will have an alternate tee for round 2.

The bridge over 16 looks great!  I walked over that with confidence today   There's a pile of sticks that will help you get across from 17 to 18, but I would recommend just going over to 16 and crossing the bridge again - note that you WILL have to cross 16's fairway to use the bridge, so make sure no one is throwing when you cross.

There IS enough water in the creek to make the Creek OB on 16, 17, and 18.  18 will play super tough for righties.

For hole 5 - I decided that if you're on the path or over to the left you are OB, and if you are on the SIDEWALK or over you are also OB.  It narrows the fairway ever so slightly, and really makes a person think twice before bombing it over the trees.

The other thing to note is that for Alternate 3 and Alternate 5 make sure you're playing from the right flags.  I wrote on the flags what hole they are for, but they both look like they could be for either hole.

I'll definitely announce all of these things at the player's meeting.

Hey scott I just signed to play on sunday, its about 8pm. I live in wauconda so if anyone is going on sunday? let me know if i could get a ride there that would be really kool if u did 

[Tom McManus]

The weather looks good. Nice and windy. It should be a great time. I am looking forward to seeing the course improvements.

[stpitner]

Got your pre-reg, Miguel, thanks!

I'll leave the pre-reg up in case anybody else wants to pre-reg.  You save a couple bucks, get to use a credit card if you need to, just make sure that it's in ASAP.  By Saturday 8pm I'd say that everyone would have had more than enough time to decide to pre-reg or not.

Good show as always Scott, thanks for running tournaments.

If anyone wants to make $50, I've got an Aviar in the pond that I'd like back in the next few weeks...

[stpitner]

We had 18 people out to play today - 8 Novice, and the 4 Intermediate players moved up to Advanced for a total of 10 Advanced players.  Matt Travis took 1st in Advanced shooting an amazing 108 for the two rounds.  The wind was brutal!  Eric McCluskey took 1st place in Novice, congrats!

I'll post the results here at some point, and some day it will be on the PDGA

Sorry I couldn't make it up today, but any Aviar worth $50 should be equipped w/ brakes to keep in from *going* into a pond....

Not funny.

Wind was strong enough today to push people if you weren't footed properly, regardless of value discs aren't designed to fly in wind like that. The sport would get very old, very quick if that was the norm.

[OvEr HaNd AsSaSiN]

Thanks for running this tourney scott i love this course.. That wind was something else... not often you aproach a shot and have no clue where your disc is going to good. btw the pdga schedule is up and runnin it looks like...

[SERG]

How did your aviar end up in the pond?
