[Sayer Jackson]

Thanks for the update! Kudos on going to Starbucks to update every night, that is  serious dedication and I know many, including myself appreciate that.  I am really looking forward to this event!

By chance I ran across the USADGC site and saw this is a qualifying event. I would start advertising that.

I haven't played Decatur, but I have played Lincoln.  Lincoln is a great course. It is in a beautiful, well maintained  park and  has some very challenging holes, including a very nice water hole.  The Springfield Disc Golf Club has done a great job with this course.

Decatur is on a old ball golf course Tom. alot of wide open shots, and rolling hills, but several 2's as well. He is talking about a par 6, so I dont know what the temp holes will look like.  I really like the tee times on Sunday. how an A-Tier should be done.

Decatur's course will get better with time.  It is fun right now but I think with time and some tweaking it will be a gem.  The best thing about the course is the elevation.  It is not typical central Illinois terrain.  There is endless opportunities in this park for disc golf but unfortunately the park district gave us a pretty small portion to use because they have bigger plans for the rest of the park.  But, since that is several years down the road I take advantage as much as I can of other parts of the park.  There is potential to make par 5's and 6's but as of right now the worst you will see is a few rolling par 4's and a downhill par 4.  As much as I want to put a par 5 or 6 in the tournament, if I cant make a good one, I am not going to put one in just to put one in.

BTW... Lincoln North will have a set of teepads for every hole!!!

Worst case... you may play a few natural teepads on the temp area in Decatur... but a lot of them will be on cart paths or fly pads.

Just curious if the TD report will be submitted by the 6/19 deadline to be included in the next update?

thanks in advance!

I'm not 100% sure, but I did just ask yesterday if the league stats that ended on 5-24 would be submitted by the deadline, and they said submitted on Monday. So I would think they also got the 4-28,4-29 tourny submitted as well??
