DISContinuum Presents IOS #5 THE Sinnissippi Open

[Jon Brakel]

..will there be a food vendor there this year?

Yes, Tim from Fadegear will be cooking food both days again this year!

[stpitner]

There will be some drinks for sale as well.  All of the money from the food sales last year went towards course improvements, I would expect more of the same this year.

Thanks! Mike Krupicka did an awesome job on the map. Him and Scott are really good with that stuff. There is a huge team working together to make this event a great one.

I wish I could be there.  If you have not played Sinnissippee, it is worth the drive from Chicago.  It is a city park with lots of cut grass, mature trees, small hills, and very little else going on in the park besides disc golf and picnics in the pavillions.

Will there be a trophy for Advanced Grandmasters? Just curious...

Right on the mighty Rock River! Some really nice scenic views on those sick temp holes while your enjoying your round.

Yes. It's on Brett's shopping list.

[Bruce Brakel]

There will be a trophy for Adv Grand Master.  Brett made it.  He just forgot to list it.  

[JakeJacobs]

Thanks for the quick response everyone! Thought it was an error. Could use a newer trophy...and newer knees, back, and feet! Looking forward to a great course! Not looking forward to the long drive, but gotta do what I gotta do. Thanks again!

Hey Scott, I just signed my wife up on your paper or plastic site (Stacy Tackett) but couldn't find int women. I signed her up in rec but can you put her in int please. She was considering playing trophy only open women. Any pro women coming? Also, the course is looking beautiful. It's gonna be a great weekend. The new hole 8 is pretty sweet. The cliff hole looks dramatically different. Some of the locals spent hours grooming the fairway. At first glance it may appear easier but it's still gonna be a tricky hole. Can't wait!

[Jon Brakel]

Last time I checked we have no pro women signed up. In the pro field we aren't doing trophy only, we're doing half-in. Similar concept. Pay half the price but if you cash you get half your payout and the rest of the payout bumps up. Ams can take prizes instead of cash. If you're an Am playing pro and intend on taking prizes and it is likely that you'll finish in a cashing position, please let me know before awards if possible. It's an accounting thing with Pitner that I have to take care of and it helps if I can do it before awards.

[Jon Brakel]

If you're looking for a place to stay, I recommend the Country Inn and Suites in Rock Falls. Nice rooms, indoor pool, and free breakfast. If you do stay there or know someone who is, please let me know. I'd like to see if I can work a discount deal for the Sinnissippi open players for next year.

[CEValkyrie]

The weather forecast for the weekend is looking great. I like it hot! There is a ton of shade at Sinnissippi. Trophies are on the press ready to pick up this afternoon. There is a small army that has helped put this event together and it's going to be a great one. See you at Friday doubles at 6pm. I'll be at the course Friday late afternoon if anyone wants to register there.

This course is a beauty. For sure in my Top 3 Illinois Courses. Haven't seen some of the new placements for some of the holes, but it's Sinnisippi, it's going to be a great tournament for sure. Going to do alot better than what I did in the spring opener.
Can't wait to see my buddy Dave Nelson as well.

Thanks Jon. Sounds like she'll be content to play int women division. Thanks to all you guys for always running great tournaments and going the extra mile to promote, provide maps, set up awesome temp holes, etc, etc, etc. The I.O.S. series is always a pleasure to take part in.

It's proably too late, but...
For the Spring Opener, Scott had a drop zone for any OB shots on hole E (da Cliff hole).  It was maybe 80 -100 ft. back by the where the paths join on the left.  I thought it was a great idea as it turned a frequent 10 foot cirlcle 3 putt in to a much harder approach with a greater liklihood of a four.  Just an idea.
Looking forward to all these different pin placements.  Thanks everyone.

[stpitner]

I'll make sure that Stacy is added to INT Women.

I'll talk to Brett about the drop zone - I don't see it on the course routing, thought that it was going to be there, will confirm before printing

[CESAROE]

Thanks Scott.
