Just got back from the course and WOW.  You guys are in for a a fun and challenging day.

My two favorite holes are the par 6 #4 (or 5) and the par 3 #17( or 18).  I am very excited.  Looking at par being around 64-66.  There are are variety fun holes, many of which you don't have to crush to birdie.  Water will come in to play on 1-2 holes.  There are some fast greens and slight elevation changes out there.  And of course there are a couple chances to let loose and grip and rip.

The par 6 is a thing of beauty.  For RHBH throwers, the tee shot is pretty dangerous.  It definitely favors a lefty from the tee.  You need to navigate your shot to the left of the huge oak tree that is a mando.  Don't go too far left cause there is an ob fence lining the whole hole.  The 2nd shot favors a righty with the hole dog legging left.  From there you work your way up a slight hill and then down and finally on the top of the hill at just about the highest point on the course.  All the while navigating mature trees on your right and a wall of trees 40 ft thick on your left.  PS- there is a golf green to the right of the basket, so dont miss right.  Oh and don't miss left cause that thick wall of trees is gone and there is an ob fence line.

I am counting down the days! Cannot wait!

Lets pray for a dry march so we can have 100 % access with the carts.  If its too sloppy, carts may be out of the question.

Tee pads will be a variety of cement, natural and hopefully rubber.

[pdga#7648]

are cleats allowed Dana?

[stpitner]

Looking to get ahold of PAT BARRETT.  Come on down!  You're the next contestant on the Price Is Right!  Actually.. no, but you do get to take a spot in the tournament!  If you have Pat's email or can help me get in contact with him, I'd appreciate it

Hoping to have the course set up friday afternoon for play! 

The baskets are in and we are waiting on the Innova disc order. 

I have 25 FLAT FLAT FLAT GLOW CHAMP FIREBIRDS with a custom stamp for $20 and 25 custom stamped ECHO DESTROYERS ordered.  We will also have a small stock selection of Innova and VIbram.

I'll ask about the cleats.  We will be using a few different surfaces (cement, rubber and natural) so you may not want to wear cleats...Im going to the course sometime this week so I'll get the low down.  If I get some nice weather, I'll take some pictures as well!

Thanks for all the hard work Dana. I don't think a lot of people understand how much work it takes to set up and take down a temporary course.

[dana]

Might be able to set the course up earlier in the week.  There may be a few holes that will be different than in the tournament, cause the course will be open to golfers.  This is good because it will allow me to test out the holes a lilttle more prior to the competition. 

I really think that this course could host a LARGE scale event.  We will see how it goes here in a few weeks and maybe start planning something big for 2012...

[Sr.]

Agree. Thank You Dana! Looking forward to this one.

Update: Innova sent the baskets last week, but screwed the order up and did not send the portable bases.  

We did recieve our Innova order and we have CFR Glow Firebirds that are FLATTER than FLAT.  These are easily the most oerstable Firebirds I've ever thrown.  These are $20 a piece.  They have a "Pine Hills" stamp on them and you can reserve one now and pay/pick it up at the event.  We also have custom stamped Echo Destroyers, these are  $16.

Directions to Pine Hills Golf Course-
Pine Hills Golf Course- 1665 N 2501st Rd

From 80, take exit 90 (rt 23) South.  Go south all the way through town, over the Illinois River and then past  Kroger (on your left).  You are now heading into the country.  On your right, a few miles past the Kroger, you will see a sign for the golf course.  Go right (this is N 2501 rd) and then its about a half mile on your right.  You will take a few curves and then see the course on your right.

When you get off 80, you have a good 10-15 minutes till you get to the course.

[Sr.]

Put me down for one of those Firebirds Dana. Thanks.
