Hey have you thought about moving that mando on 17 to the tree that is to the left of the cement/short tee?  For 1 thing, it is difficult to see if discs make the mando where it currently is.  Also, moving the mando will still keep people going the intended route.

 I was out at Eagle Ridge today... for the first and thought it was a great course and lay out, a bit tight, meaning 18 holes right there in a small area. But it works. The weather was great and the turn out of people to throw some plastic before Saturday was big. The course wasn't to bad. The long tees were a bit soggy and will be beat up first round. The course should dry up a bit more by the time Saturday gets here, so it might not be to bad.

At this time of year, the mando on 17 is still easily seen from the long tee.

[dana]

Uh, ok.  You seriously think that that is a good spot for the mando on that hole?

[pickax]

While I recognize the difficulty of determining if the mando is missed/made when everything leafs out, it tightens up the line quite a bit and does make a difference in the scoring distribution from the longs.

i will be out at the course today after 4 pm taking last minute registrations. there are currently only 12 spots open. don't miss out, come out and get registered today cause it WILL fill.

You are in Jake!

I am adding some holes to make room for some of the people that have called asking to get in.
There are 11 spots open. Registration opens at 8AM. First come first serve. I will not hold a spot for anyone, even if you show up early, so please do not ask.

Just want to thank everyone for showing up to my first tourney! When I picked the beginning of March I knew it was gonna be a hit or miss date with the weather. I had planned on maybe 50-60 players, but when all was said and done 91 disc golfers came out to play for the day! I guess the itch was on. the weather was great and so was the company, so thank all of you once again for coming out!
I had a blast and cannot wait to throw my next one. I know there were a few bumps in the road, but as they say hindsight is 20/20, so some lessons were learned for next time. If anyone has any constructive criticism, I would love to hear it . I know I cannot think of everything, and I want to provide you with the best tournaments I can, so please let me know.

There are a lot of people I want to thank as well for making this happen: Dave Y for having the plastic for the day, Starbucks for the coffee, Gorilla Boy for the coupons, ABC Discs and Dan Pastore for the minis, Discontinuum for the fly pads, Tom M. for hauling them, Scott Pitner for the basket and leader board, Fox Valley for the basket and leader board,Mike K. for running the leader boards,  Jon Boster for taking registrations, all of those that helped set up/ and tear down, those that helped with adding scores and making up scorecards, those that handed out bag tags for the day, and anyone else I may have missed.

I do have a few tags that people left from some different clubs. If you did not get your tag or left before they were handed out, let me know I may have it.

Nice job Aaron.  What did you figure for the par out there from the long and from the short?
