2011 IOS #1 @ Community Park, Channahon, IL May 14-15 - The Dave Pitner Memorial

[pdga#7648]

calling for rain tonight until Sunday night here in Peoria. hope the Northern part of the State don't get that much rain.

[stpitner]

hopefully we'll stay dry.  60% chance Saturday, 40% chance Sunday according to weather.com.  Accuweather.com has been more reliable in the past for me.  They say 0.05 in of rain over a 3 hour period Saturday, that will hopefully just be a refreshing cool down rain, and on Sunday they say scattered chances, but no amount of precipitation predicted.  I'm guessing it will be hit or miss clouds like a lot of it has been as of late.

Was it windier today?  The ratings today are a bit higher than yesterday. Just wondering how conditions compared.  Lets hear it for the area players.  Lets face it, the weather was pretty lousy this weekend but we had a great turnout both days.

Sunday started out wetter and it was quite a bit windier all day. Thanks to everyone who came out despite the weather.

IOS Crew,
Thanks for running another great tournament!  Despite the weather, I had fun out there. 

Also, thanks to Frank for all the hard work on the course!  My only gripe is that this park is not around the corner from my house.   

[Sr.]

Thank You Scott and the IOS Crew! See you in Oswego.

[pdga#7648]

great job once again gang. The weather sucked, my scoring sucked, but had a great time once again.

awesome looking course Frank Grimes & Crew. the new benches look great.


see ya all in Oswego.

any idea when registration will Open for IOS#3?

[stpitner]

Still pounding out some details on IOS 3, hoefully news about registration will be public soon, and for sure going before IOS 2 comes.

What did everyone think of the trophy ceremony process?  I messed things up on Sunday meaning to do the pro divisions first (where we name all people receiving cash), and then announce all of the trophy winners in the small divisions (so top 3 in the big divisions, top 1 in the micro's).  It was partially done due to weather, but I was hoping that it would give a good combination of recognition to the top finishers mixed with a shorter ceremony.  Then since people had to approach the board to collect their winnings for the remainder of the field, it slowed the pace some to help try to alleviate the checkout line.  The line got bad on Sunday because I had a big order near the beginning that I was botching up ringing up (not the customer's fault AT ALL!)

If anyone should see this dyed max weight Champ Boss when out playing the course or see it in someone's bag, please report the person to me.  This disc was either stolen at IOS #1 or wound up in the magical abyss of missing discs (eg. put on hold and then not purchased yet somehow doesn't make it to the right bin).  I'm hoping that it will turn up, but this kind of stuff just makes me sick.  I have a customer online that tried to buy it from me, but now of course I can't ship it to them as it is MIA.  I know that if the person uses DISContinuum as soon as they see this will put the disc away, but for those of you who are honest and trustworthy, please help out in making sure that everyone else stays honest as well!

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  I really don't want to have to start implementing new security measures, but I will if I have to!

Note: the hotstamp on the disc is red, and I can confirm that I had it in my possession with my end of year inventory, and IOS #1 was the first/only tournament it would have been seen at.
