will be registerring for this very soon as well.
Any format for the tees that will be played yet?

[pickax]

There will be two rounds of 20 holes: One round will be from the longs and one from the shorts. All divisions play the same layout (ensures that every division receives rated rounds). The additional two holes will be different from the extra two that were used at the First Rites from this past weekend.

awesome, thanks

Mike....why aren't the 2 temp holes being played again.  They were GREAT holes!!!!

[pickax]

I thought the holes on the East side of the tracks were good holes. Once I get the score cards from Aaron, I want to see what the scoring distribution was. I'd like to use them, but with the Oswego Open happening during the summer, that part of the park may be used for other activities. As it is, the park district has requested that some of the disc golfers park at the parking lot west of the course because there is a swim meet occurring on one of the days of the event.

My current plan is going to be a 13a which will be a uphill shot along the path with tight OB. The other will be from one of the alt 19 tees to the practice basket for the shorts and to an elevated basket near tee one when we are playing the longs. Cards will be required to use a spotter/lookout for that hole.

I hope you do something about that dumb mando on 17 long.  I don't know how you can say that you can easily see if a disc makes it or not. 

Also, what is up with that dropzone for the other hole with the mando (can't remember the number)?
You miss the mando and have to go to an extremely tough drop zone.  Its like you get punished twice for missing the mando?  I'd bet that nearly everyone that missed the mando took at least a 5 on that hole.  Should there be a fair chance to save the bogey 4?

[JaSoN G.]

It was hole 6 and this was the stupidest hole.  I landed right in the middle of the fairway and it was ob because I was 2 feet left  of the mando.  Then I go down to the drop zone and it was in a brutal spot, nothing but trees and not even a chance to pitch up for a 4.  That was messed up.  I got lucky and had a tree kick mine under the basket but it was lucky. We have never played that before and I think some more thought should have gone into it.  If the mando was moved over 10-15 left  it would have been fine, and also making the drop zone at the top of the hill with at least a chance.

That's kind of funny you mention that Dana. Sang threw his disc and our whole group couldn't  tell if he cleared the mando or not. I would like to see the mando removed from the long tee on that hole. The anhyzer shot on that hole is fun and difficult in my opinion. Practice makes perfect and anhyzers need practice!

[tacimala]

For the record, I found it pretty unnecessary as well. I understand the one on 6, as well as the suggested improvement to the drop zone.

Mental notes taken.

IOS #3 - only two short weeks away!!!

[Barcas420]

will pre reg on friday cant wiat this one is in the bag

[pickax]

I have trophies in process for MPO, the four main Am divisions, and Int. Women. If anyone is planning on playing in any of the other smaller protected divisions, I need to know ASAP as it takes time for the trophies to cure.

Do your part in making this a smooth running tournament by pre-registering early.

[pdga#7648]

Sent the check today Mike. Can you let me know that you received it when you do please? Don't want to miss this one.

[pickax]

Tonight the handicap league at Eagle Ridge will be playing the long tees. Come out and get some practice for the Oswego Open. I'll be there taking registrations tonight. The Alt tee locations (13a and 19) will be marked if you want to get an early look at these holes.

[DougEDawg]

Thinking about coming to this event.  what tee positions are we playing?  Long or shorts?  when does online pre-reg end?

[stpitner]

1 round from shorts and 1 round from longs.

I am going to try to post the course notes here later tonight, but the short of it is short tees first round, long tees second round. There will be two additional holes as well.

pdga.com info says concrete for the tee pads. I know I was just there in March, but wasn't the long tees that kitty litter stuff? Played too many courses since then to really remember correctly. Can someone help? May need my cleats again for them if that is the case. Thanks.
