Is there going to be  DISContinuum BagTags up for grab as well?

Yes. And I would think that all the other clubs will also be playing for bagtags.

Hey there, I"m a GRABM member and we just had a club meeting.  We are planning for go out the weekend before the Club Challenge and get the course ready.  We are going to pick up trash and do some trimming of branches.  We are going to move some of the pins to harder locations and some to make the flow of the course better.  There is still ice and snow in places.  It's muddy in some spots but I guess it's expected with the spring thaw.I will post on here the week of the challenge to let you know course conditions so you can plan ahead.  We will try to put some mulch out but with the ground thawing out we wont be able to drive out on the course.  We are looking for to the event and to seeing you all here!  If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will try to get back to ya.

The course is playable right now. All pads are clear.  Just in some spots there is snow, ice and mud.  The east course will be moved into event locations sunday and the west course the following sunday.  We are waiting to move them because of the finish of our winter league.

Two weeks from today the Club Challenge takes place in Rockford.

[DaBus85]

We moved all but two of the baskets into the club challenge locations. We couldn't move two because of snow and ice that is still in the way as of today.  Most of the snow has melted but it's still out there in some spots.  I'm guessing with the warmer weather and rain most of the remaining snow will be gone soon.  It's still a little wet and muddy out there in spots so I would still suggest boots as of now.  The courses are playing a little harder with the locations there are in now.  We are still planning on going out saturday and making sure the park is clean and dong some trimming of branches and brush in areas.  I will post on here next week about this time to let you know what course conditions are.

There will be a mando on #5 west due to the added length of the temporary hole. A tree will be marked with a sign. This will keep players from throwing into fairway #3. Safety first.

I will have some of these Tee Shirts available at the club challenge.

PM me a size if you're interested, and I'll keep it aside. Only have a dozen.

[smyith]

1) what brand are the t-shirts? this matters for size

2) i dont think ive heard of the FCDC. is that another rockford club?

Thanks.
The shirts are Hanes 90% cotton.

No sir, not another club. GRABM is still Rockfords one and only.

FCDC is basically just a Brand of Disc Golf Apparel and Custom Dyed Disc for the Disc Golf Enthusiast.
Just trying to make golfers happier than they already are, with more product to shop from.

Anna Page is doing pretty well after all the rain.  It's not as wet out there as I  thought it would be after all the rain.  There is no snow or ice out there anymore.  The courses were pruned last weekend.  There is mud in some spots but it's not bad.  I'm sure by sunday it will dry up even more.  We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the course for this event!!
