As the second round cards are coming in I'm hearing a rumor of SEVEN aces that were hit today - 1 in the first round on the first hole (9) and supposedly quite a few more after that!

IOS Crew, thanks for running a great tournament today!  I had a lot of fun out there.

Congrats to Andy Van Meer for hitting 2 of the 7 Aces today!!

...the usual outstanding job by the IOS crew, among other things having the scores up so quickly!

Par appears to be 63... I assume 12 is considered a par4; is 18 a par 5 or am I missing something?

[Dan Michler]

Good job IOS crew today.  I regret not being able to play more of the IOS events this year, but there were other priorities.  Hopefully I'll play 'em all in 2011.

7 Aces?!

Do you have a list of players/holes?
I hit a black ace today 

[Chainmeister]

Some people are pressure players and can always hit that important putt. After the chatter about a tournament a week ago Jon out did himself with Becky and Madidison's help. Registration was seemless. Awards were handed out shortly after the last card was in. Scores were online before I got home. I can't give him credit for the weather...or can I. Scott has his system down to a science and the time from browse to buy is very quick. What a nice day.

7 Aces?!

Do you have a list of players/holes?
I hit a black ace today 

I only know of a couple

Fred Vroman hit #4
Andy hit 17 & 4 i think

[duain]

2 Aces on 17, 2 on 9, 2 on 4, and 1 on 3. i know Andy hit 17 and 4, Fred hit 3, which was prolly the hardest ACE considering the massive head wind on that hole.

[stpitner]

hole 2 has been aced twice so far today - once I saw by Tyler in practice and then during the round by StanK.  Stan didn't get in the ace fund though, so who knows who might claim it today!  The wind is VERY calm out here right now.  An enjoyable day!  Wish you were here!

What a great weekend! Had a bunch of fun out there. I can't believe how many aces were hit during the rounds (9 total). I saw a bunch more during warm up too. The weather was awesome!

A BIG Thanks to the IOS Crew and all of the helpers.
I really enjoyed the series this year. Had a blast, and was always taken care of quickly after the tournament was over so I could get back on the road at a reasonable time. I only missed 1 event(Monday's tourny), and will free up room on next years calendar to get to as many as I can next year.


And congrats to Dave Nelson, for tearing that course a new one yesterday.

See ya all next year!

oh, and congrats to Tom McManus as well for his Victory.
