2010 IOS #1 @ CHANNAHON, IL May 1st & 2nd - Dave Pitner Memorial

[airspuds]

hole 2  question

out of bounds

railroad ties or wet 

i actually wetn to the left of the ties
and was dry

are you going to draw a line of some sort

[stpitner]

is the creek there fairly dry or is there still some water depth?  Typically I just call it as completely surrounded by water you are OB.  If the creek bed is dry out there, then I'm going to have to say it's in between the ties, inside the bed area you would be OB.  The path for crossing if you manage to stop on that will be IN.

[stpitner]

we're up to 60 for Saturday and 41 for Sunday, fun times!

is hole 11 goin to be in that short pin? When i was there yesterday the 10 meter circles were off a bit there were 2 lines on some of the holes prolly about a foot or 2 from each other

[stpitner]

I'm guessing 11 is going to be in the new location - I know Frank was working on it, but I hadn't heard if he had finished.  He has a lot going on right now as well.  He also placed the 10 M circles, sounds like he had to do it in a hurry as well.  You could carry a tape measure if you are super concerned, but I'll announce that if there is a question the group can come to a consensus and give benefit of the doubt to the player.

We are up to 65 players on Saturday and 47 on Sunday.  Accuweather.com currently has removed rain from the daytime forecast entirely for both days now. Yay for answered prayers!

Scott, there is an interesting discussion going on now at on the pdga board on this issue.  I strongly believe that if the circles are close to accurate you should state that they rule and no measurements are needed.  This will avoid any bickering about where the line should be. This will not happen in my, Novice, division.  However, money will be on the line in the pro pool.  I would like to see Brett's take on this.

The new 11 looks very cool and much more challenging than the temp basket. That is going to be a very cool hole.   I was there last week and saw the "green" with no basket.  I hope the basket is there now.  What is the distance on the new pin placement?

any final decision on the 1st temp hole after regular #18? Thanks.

i dont think 11 is going to be in the new spot i was there yesterday and it was and in the short pin and had the 10 m painted around it

[DiscinFlight]

 I was out at Channahon today, The course is looking great. No new basket on 11 yet, but its ready to go in. it was windy out there but i love it... 

[stpitner]

wherever the basket is on 11, that's where it's going to be lol.  I'm presuming it will be wherever Frank painted the 2M circle.  I'm letting him have control over the course setup.

first temp after 18 is going to remain the same - if anything it will be longer to put it out of reach of the "once upon a time when there was super tons of wind I parked a hole this long" type of thrower.  I'll also ask people to tee when the group ahead of them is out of range.

For the circle - since it was created with the attempt to be accurate, it will be the governing line.  if your disc is in between the two lines, then the interior line is the governing line.  Again, benefit of the doubt to the player.  It would help to know how many of those circles are like that and what holes specifically.  I will not be able to walk the course before the tournament tomorrow.

[stpitner]

The circles are good out there.  A few holes have 2, with the correct one being the outside one.  There should be no confusion.

Thanks, Scott.  Looking forward to it.

Thanks to Frank for the 10M Circles and for the hard work out there.
