For the avid campers..

There's a campground at the Illinois State Fair which is across the street from Lincoln Park.

There's also a campground at Riverside Park which is about 5? Miles from lincoln park. Between sherman, il and springfieldnon rt 4.

Not sure if it opens last wknd April but you can check if you want.

Will the north course have concrete tees by tourney time?  How about #14 & #15 on the south course?

[Ledgestone]

Just to remind everyone....this is a Ledgestone Series event! Should be awesome with a massive players pack!

Tournament specifics will be up on all forums very soon.  This event will be 2 days but Saturday will be all day in Springfield playing the North and South courses of Lincoln Park.  Lincoln North should have teepads by then.  The second day is a 1 round, 27 hole staggered start at Nelson Park in Decatur.  Temp holes will have the baskets from Pine Hills and Fly Pads and/or throwing from old golf cart paths.  No natural teepads!

if anyone here is planning on playing in this, I read on bloomingtons forum that they do not plan on doing day of entry's, so you guys may want to be getting signed up!
Decatur is a fun course for those of you who have not played it!

[BNdiscr]

I would love everyone to pre register. But I know that will not happen.  But if you do by this Wednesday you are guaranteed a dry fit shirt!  After this Wednesday we will work our hardest to get you one if you sign up but there isn't a guarantee.  Next Wednesday night, April 25th, is the cut-off for pre registration.  We will have day of registration as well but the players package will not be as sweet.

We are up over 50 players... I am anticipating ~100.  Come out and have a good time!!!

[CEValkyrie]

Awesome.Get that prereg updated.People want to see a good field before the committ to traveling that far. Work on the STL crew too! 

[Ledgestone]

@Brett - I have tried for the last year to get registered at the St. Louis Forums. Is there a way for someone to post the topic/tournament there on their forums?

PDGA has been updated as well - there are now 47 people registered and more and more are coming in every day. We expect this event to fill up and there will be more than 100 players here. Remember that you get double the points for the Ledgestone Insurance Series.

Also, we are happy to announce that we will be raffling off a Gateway Bullseye Basket and an Innova Basket. There will be a huge raffle, great players pack, great courses, HUGE payout, great food, and more. Get signed up!

I have not been on the STL board in a while. I'll see what I can do when I get home. I noticed quite a few states are represented but none from MO yet.

I sent registration fee via paypal yesterday and am not seeing my name in the Intermediate field.  Could somebody please double check that my payment was received?  Thanks!

Sayer,

You are good man!  Thanks for registering.  My internet at home is hopefully being fixed by a technician this evening.  I have been going to Starbucks nightly to get registrations up to date.  So, you will be on the pdga page later tonight.

[Ledgestone]

We have almost 60 registered players now! Get signed up if you haven't already.

[CEValkyrie]

I posted on the STL message board. I'd suggest having someone pass out fliers at the Alton event this Saturday.
