Hi, this is Doug's Mom.

I just read the more recent posts. Actually, we are not going to be able to have the plaque installed by tournament time. We are still working on it. The wording will be somewhat different, but close to what we submitted to the park district. We hope to have a mock-up of the actual plaque by Saturday. We are planning to be there both Saturday and Sunday. We are looking forward to this event. We are quite excited about the opportunity to celebrate's Doug's life and his passion for anything related to throwing a disc.

I think that he would be really pleased with our decision to help upgrade the disc golf course where he played whenever he was home.

Next year we will try to be more invlolved in the planning and execution of the second annual tournament.

Thanks for everything you and your family have done to upgrade the course. I have not played at the park since 1995, so I am looking forward to seeing the upgrades.

Hope to be able to meet you on Sunday.

Bunch of things:
1) Parking - on SATURDAY, please try to park across the street at Grace Lutheran Church.  There is a basketball tournament at the community center, and we'd like to make spots available for those using that building.  On SUNDAY we have permission to park at the public works buildng (further north on bartlett rd just past hole 2).  You can also park on the other side of the park if you are starting over on that side on Oltendorf.  I think one side of the street you cannot park on, but the other was ok.

2) Bathrooms - I have confirmed that we WILL have a porta-potty available for the weekend.  In addition, since the community center will be open from 9-4 Saturday, bathrooms inside there will also be available.

3) Concessions - It looks like concessions will be open during the lunch break AND after the round.  So definitely enjoy the great prices and help support!

4) I have received confirmation on a LOT of verbal commitments of players that will be coming out to play.  I know that a lot of people are not pre-registering because there is no walk-up fee.  So don't be discouraged by the low pre-reg numbers, the turnout is going to be great!

Looks like I will be playing on Sunday; I will be a walk-up, due not to the "no fee" but when our next paycheck arrives. I can pay with a check on Sunday, can't I, Scott? Looking forward to it. Haven't played Streamwood in many years! - Jake 

[stpitner]

Jake - I will accept checks.  Make them out to Paper or Plastic Sports.  If possible, cash would be preferred for the ace fund and 50/50, but not required.

oh yeah, don't forget, $444 rolled over for the ACE FUND!!!

[JakeJacobs]

Thanks!

[CEValkyrie]

Looking forward to the weekend.

What is the pin position looking like for the weekend. Where will they be? Will they change? Any temps?

[WkeBrd3]

Nothing like waiting til the last minute, but the tee signs are being installed today!

Brett: Saturday, round 1 will be to the shorter pins, round 2 will be to the longer pins. On Sunday, round 1 will be to the longer, and round 2 will be to the shorter. This way, we have to move the baskets less.

Also, 2 temp holes will be added after hole 12

Here is a map of the course:

5A will not be played, nor will 12B.

Looking forward to this weekend, hope the walk up registration is HUGE!!

congrats Brett

I want to thank the Baker family for everything they've done at Streamwood. It's an honor to win this event. I can't think of a better way to remember someone. Thank you for the information about Doug. Thank you for your donation to improve the course!

I want to thank the Streamwood guys and the park district for improving the course. It's looking awesome out there! It's amazing how much better that course is.

Thank you to Scott Pitner and the IOS crew for all the hard work. It was a great event. The rain held off and it ended up being an awesome day.

[pdga#7648]

I talked to the Bakers in between rounds. Very nice people. Can't say thanks enough for all the improvements out there. I hadn't been since 1996, and wow how that course has become very nice.



Thanks as always to Scott Pitner, and all of his helpers. Very smoothly ran tournament once again.



Gongrats to Dave Naspinski on his win. I just couldn't reel him in after his first round of 53. I did tie him in round 2 with a 54, good enough for 2nd
