The garbage on the course is ridiculous! We can use whoever can get out there on Thursday. Even if it's for an hour or two.

We are still looking for spotters for both days. If you like to spot on the day you're not playing let me know.

Leagues & Tourneys / Re: 30th Illinois State Disc Golf Championships (VOQ)« on: July 20, 2012, 05:47:03 AM »Hi J Town and Jesse. I tried to e-mail Jesse by replying to the recent mass notice he sent. I plan to play and am looking forward to it. Damon and I went to Highland Park last Sunday and I had an interesting thing happen on hole 5. I landed under the tree to the right of the basket.I thought it might be best to make a decision on this before it happens again. I can easily see this happening again, especially for a lefty. Take a look at this thread I posted on PDGA. http://www.pdga.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=36473 After looking at hole 5 closer, discussing it with the PDGA Rules Committee and some of our staff we’ve come up a solution. The area of the crevice will be roped off and there will be a mandatory drop zone without penalty in the area behind the tree. The drop zone will be marked with a flag or cylinder. 694

WEEK 15 - July 18, 2012
Second Half #2 The Round Barn -Manhattan TEES 18 Holes - Red Baskets Par 54 CONDITIONS To start the round the temp was around 95 degrees and with a dew point of 70 degrees it felt like 102 degrees. It was a very hot humid night. The temp dropped into mid to low 80s at the end of the night making it feel a little better. There were storms threatening all around us all night but nothing hit. COMMENTS • Thanks to Katie Cluckey the Athletic Program Coordinator and Manhattan Park District for allowing us to bring our league to their new facility at The Round Barn. It was a great experience by all. The water holes proved to be KING. We must of had a least 15 discs lost in the water from holes 3-5. I think a lot of the damage came from players getting greedy trying to clear hole 4. The water holes were great. • The Am/Nov division out played the Pro/Adv division. The Am/Novs had two teams shooting 44s compared to only one in the Pro/Adv division. The Ams tying the Pros has only happened a couple of times when all divisions are playing equal tees. Now to have two Am teams is even rarer and in fact I don’t think it’s ever happened. Nice Shooting! By the way the two Am/Nov teams beat the rest of their field by 5 strokes. • Tom Matesevac continues to play his butt off. He opens up a huge lead in both the second half and overall in the Pro/Adv division. It’s been a while and we are possibly looking at the new triple crown winner! • Operation J-Town Storm! These packages from home mean the world to our soldiers! Please donate and check out the link for more info. http://jtowndiscgolf.com/SMF1/index.php?topic=616.0 • New schedules are out. http://jtowndiscgolf.com/files/League/J-Town%20Doubles%20Schedule%20Second%20Half%202012.pdf • Next week is Highland Park , Joliet White Tees for all. PLAYERS 55 Players 24 PRO/ADV 31 AM/NOV TOP THREE PRO/ADV Tom Matesevac and Eric Fite take the top honors out right for the night. They end up shooting a very nice round of 44(-10). They end up splitting $116. This is Tom’s second win in a row. We had a tie for second with the teams shooting nice rounds of 45 (-9). Javy Rodriguez & Dan Osysko win the ctp playoff to take the second place honors. They end up splitting 67 bucks. Dean Bingham & Matt Myers take third and split 37 bucks. TOP THREE AM/NOV We had a tie for first with teams shooting incredible rounds of 44 (-10) and completely destroying the rest of the Am/Nov field by 5 strokes. On the second hole of the playoff Eric Smith & Mario Guzman take the victory. Eric Smith makes it possible by nailing a 60 foot putt. They end up splitting $66. On his birthday Mike Noe and Josh Bringas end up in second and take home $18.50 each. We also had a tie for third with teams shooting nice rounds of 49 (-5). Ken Hausser and Jeff Reardon pull out the win with a ctp on hole #1. They end up splitting 25 bucks. CTPS Izak McDonald - CTP Party Fund hole #1 = $41 Josh Bringas - CTP Basket Fund hole #10 = $40 Jake Broughton - CTP Tournament Fund hole #14 = $40 Chris Simoe celebrates his birthday with a CTP win for a CFR Disc on hole #17 = He takes the disc he’s been trying to get his hands on a 2010 Channahon Classic Color Buzz ACES No Aces = $160 to start next week BIG MONEY NIGHT Josh Bringas takes second place and wins the Basket Fund CTP. He ends up taking home $58.50 for the night. Next Week - Highland Park, Joliet White Tees Everybody DON’T FORGET 4:15 - 4:30 REGISTRATION AND 5:30 START!! See You Later, Jesse 698

WEEK 14 - July 11, 2012
Second Half #1 The Oaks -Mokena TEES 27 Holes - Long Tees Pro/Adv, Short Tees Am/Nov- Par 81 CONDITIONS MID 80s to start the round- MID 70s at the end of the round. Wind speed was around 10mph with gusts into the teens. The course is in great shape. Overall it was a great night to start the second half. COMMENTS • To our experienced Ams that pair up with a beginner. Your guidance towards these players is a major part of the future success of the league. Please be a mentor to these new players and make sure when they leave they feel like they had the coolest time and want to come back. It’s great to win but if feels a whole lot better knowing you helped make difference in someone’s game. You just might be helping the next great player in our area. • Gateway Giveaway! Thanks to Dave McCormack at Gateway Discs Sports for sponsoring our league with Gateway discs. Through their kind gesture we were able to have a very cool & unique league ctp. On hole #1 we had a ctp for each individual group as they played it. We ended up with 15 ctp winners. The winners were pretty excited to get something new in their hands. The winners were Josh Pole, Leo Borowski, Joe Kolar, Adam Fabianski, Rory Callahan, Joe Ward, Luigi Noe, Greg Guther, Zac H., Tom Rafac, Mike Kusy, Harry Hood, John Knudson, Al Hermoskillo and Darrin Johnson.

Courses / Re: Highland Park Clean-Up« on: July 10, 2012, 05:29:09 AM »My best guess is the Joliet Park District did most of the clean up, perhaps a one Day deal & then back to their routine. They did a wonderful job! Thanks Vargo, or maybe Gary. I'll be out there Thursday to help, maybe a spotter to help cut the leaner on #1 would be helpful. Your doing a super good job Jesse & & I'm thrilled to be a part of your efforts. I can help you Thursday Frankie! I'm a little stir crazy right now. And I'm still doing a walk through clean-up the day before tourney. Thanks Paco for busting your butt all day on Saturday! Gary did get in contact with the park district and they were out and done within a day. Considering the holes in the back were also done, it makes me think Mikey Vargo was part of that crew. They did a hell of a job! I’ll also be there on Thursday working on the Belmont area. Call me when you get there and I’ll come down to help on hole 1. Thanks Randy Sr. for taking the time to help out. 703

I went to the park to chop some trees last night and as I pulled in I noticed some of the trees had been cut and removed. As I drove and walked farther through the course I realized almost all the down trees from the storms had been cut and cleared. Wow I’m in awe! I think the Joliet Park District must of came in and did this massive job quickly. I’m still not positive but if individuals did this please let me know.
Paco is putting the finishing touches on some dangerous hanging trees. You should have seen the grin on his face when he came up with his new chainsaw. He’s like a kid in a candy store, trees don’t stand a chance with his new beast. We are now back on track with just trimming and garbage collecting. Thanks Paco & Chango for helping trim & cutting last night. The big thing now is trash collecting. The course is pretty messy. People still think they can dump their personal garbage throughout the course. If anyone has time and still wants to help out then please pick-up trash. Thanks again to everyone who has been helping. 704

We have major tree issues now at the course. The two storms from last weekend have just decided to leave major tree and tree limbs lying in the middle of almost every fairway. We need as many volunteers as possible with chainsaws to help cut down this mess. We are getting in touch with the Park District to see what kind of help they can lend. If you have any kind of time and a chainsaw and would like to help here’s a list of what we’re facing.
Hole 1 – Tree down over tee pad, it’s supported by another tree but looks dangerous – Chainsaw Hole 2 – Small trees near basket – Hand cutter Hole 3 – Big tree down right by basket – Chainsaw Hole 4 – Big tree down and big limb in fairway – Chainsaw Hole 6 – Big tree down by tee pad stairs – Chainsaw, smaller trees on basket side hand cutter Hole 7 – Big tree down fairway/right of fairway – Chainsaw Hole 9 – Tree limb by tee pad – Hand saw Hole 10 – Big tree limb down by in front of red tee pad – Chainsaw Hole 13 – Big tree down in fairway – Chainsaw Hole 16 - Big tree down in fairway – Chainsaw Hole 17 - Big tree and limbs down in fairway – Chainsaw Hole 18 - Big tree down in fairway - Chainsaw 705
