2004 ILLINOIS OPEN SERIES

most excellent

OK, the girlfriend is playing for sure...Intermediate Women.

Unfortunately she just moved to Madison so it would be a little long of a drive for her to come and play on Sundays...but thanks for the information.

I think if you join after September 1, 2004, your membership is good for the next year too.  If you join at IOS #3, Jon won't get the paperwork in until after September 1.  If you join at IOS #3 you will be eligible to play in the United States Women's Disc Golf Championship in Peoria, Illinois.  This is a cool tournament for women only and they offer an intermediate division.  It is held the last week of September and is a 3-day event.  

If you sign up at IOS #3, would the player still receive PDGA points/rating?

Yes, if you join the PDGA that day, you become a member instantly & get points & ratings for the event.

This one belongs to Jeanine from Joliet if she shows up and takes it.  You get more of the detail if you click on the thumbnail and expand it.

Not sure who is stepping up for this one.  Have not looked at the standings.  It came out a little darker than I was trying for, but it makes it look a little more masculine:

Bruce, please to refresh my memory (and I'm too lazy to dig up earlier posts):

You're still taking brass cash for the Blast, yes? I'm not sure I can make IOS 3 and I have $10 here...

[Bruce Brakel]

The Brass cash buys Blast merch.

Say that three times fast.

It is good until December 31, 2004.  I will make good faith efforts to redeem it even if we are in different states.  If you send me e-mail on December 30 and I don't get it because I'm on a five day bender, when I sober up, I'll honor the stuff.

But don't count on it being good at the 2005 Buffalo Girls Won't You Come Out Tonight, or whatever we do next year.

Don't forget to check where you are in the IOS points standings so that you know who you have to beat!

Can I ask who did those dyes for the overall champions?  I assume Dr Dye?  Someone please let me know and also let me know if he's for hire!  They look great.

Thanks,

Terry, the artists have been informed, are flattered, and are far too busy at this time to take on any more outside projects.  Kelsey and I have been doing the disc dying for the Illinois Open Series.  Kelsey designs and produces stickers and I throw the dye at the plastic.

Wisconsin's own Dr. Dye is more than capable of doing that kind of work if you are looking for tournament dyed discs.  He did similar stuff for the 2003 Illinois Open that was awesome.  

We would have farmed the work to Dr. Dye this year except we figured out how to take it in-house and return that value back to the players.  

If we have a couple of dyed discs with Wisconsin on them can we expect them to go "home" to Wisconsin?

Bruce (or anyone else):

Can you find out if this is for sure, please? I don't want to sign her up for PDGA and then figure out it's only good for the next couple of months.

Thanks.

[CEValkyrie]

Check the PDGA message board. It was just officially posted the other day.  

[SERG]

Thanks, Brett. Found it!

[Bruce Brakel]

Ching Skill Shots are in!!  [almost, kind of]

The East Coast office just got the shipment.  I have reserved eight.  Two blue ones will be shipped direct to Brett for resale to you.  If you have been saving up funny money or real for a Skill-Shot, and you want a blue one, you can get it from Brett as soon as he gets them.  If you wanted red, yellow or black, those colors are being shipped to me.  Again, if you have been saving for one, let me know and I'll bring one or more with me to the Blast.

Fairfield is looking awesome!! They finished the 3 tee pads that needed work and did the rest of the wood chips.

It was actually fun tonight finishing 2nd in best shot. Dan & the Rifleman shot -16. It was fun watching that.

Just 18. Dan hit the basket from about 60 away for the par.

i m coming up the tollway (i get on in alsip)

whats the best way to the course

bringing bag tag # 2 so you dont want me getting lost  

looks like we might get some rain Sat
going to put rain gear in car now

how will bag challange work ?

[mirth]

Take the tollway to route 120 (Belvidere) take Belvidere West. 120 eventually intersects with Fairfield Rd, turn right.
After about 3 miles, maybe more, the course will be on the left.

The tag challenge will likely work like how it was run @ Streamwood & CL - everybody has to turn in their tags before the first round starts then after all cards are turned in from the afternoon round lowest overall score gets the lowest tag and so forth.
