Registrations are "pouring in" now. (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun after last nights rain storm.)

The normal temp holes will not be used because all the pavillions on the hill are in use. I'd rather not have an injured picnic goer from flying discs.

I'm going to look over the course in the next few days to see where I can put some decent temp holes. I have a few ideas, but would welcome any input from everyone. Anyone seen any good temp holes used at Channahon in the past other than the four going around the hilly area by 18?

Leagues & Tourneys / Re: Chain Reaction Channahon Tournament $25.00
« on: June 21, 2010, 04:19:41 AM »
Frank,

Thanks again for all your help.

I had originally posted the tournament on my site as $35 (for ams) -$10 if you are a PDGA member. This is how the PDGA tournament standards info sheet said it should be done.

However, it IS confusing, so I changed it after you brought it up. I don't see any of the other TDs following this confusing standard either.

Just to be clear:

The fee for all Amatuers to play is $25. There is an additional charge of $10 by the PDGA if you do not have a current membership. The PDGA fee for non members is a requirement at all PDGA sanctioned events.

I hope that clears up any confusion.

Thanks Ben!

Here is a sneak peak at one of the trophies. It's still raw wood, so it's going to look even sweeter once the finish gets put on.

I will be awarding the sweetest trophies I've ever seen for both of my tournaments this year. The trophy is a custom wood replica of an actual golf disc complete with the tournament stamp, division played, and text saying 1st place.

I've attached a pic of the trophy for Chain Reaction prior to finishing. It will look even better once the finish is put on. Deuces Wild will have the same trophies, only with the Deuces Wild stamp on them.

Check it out and tell me......wouldn't that look great on your wall?

As opposed to the other Frank Grimes from the Simpsons......

But our Frank would never walk around saying "I don't need safety gloves because I'm Homer Simpson....."

Leagues & Tourneys / Sweet Trophies ordered!
« on: June 10, 2010, 08:40:17 AM »
I cracked open the checkbook a few days ago and ordered some custom hardwood disc golf trophies for both of my tournaments. They will be replicas of an actual golf disc complete with the tournament stamp, and text saying 1st place and the division.

These are by far the sweetest trophies I have seen:

When I get them, I will post a picture of the actual discs.

I ordered a first place trophy for each major division: MPO, Adv, Int, Rec, and Novice.

How sweet would it be to have one of these hanging on your wall?

That's great news! Thanks for checking into it.

The Mather Woods idea is dead. Gary spoke with Plainfield Park District, and they want to keep Mather Woods pristine. But I believe he is still trying to convince them to expand Avery Park to 18 holes.

This one is a little different. The tournament is called "Deuces Wild" because the player in each division (minimum 3 players per division) that scores the most deuces will win a special players pack, regardless of where they place in the tournament.

This tournament plays one round at Westpark, and one round at Highland Park. Both parks are very close to each other, so travel time shouldn't be much of an issue. Having one round at each park should keep it interesting all day long.

The players are to meet at the pavilion above hole 8 at Westpark on both days.

Pre-registration closes at 9pm Friday, July 9th. Registration the day of the event is an additional $5. Pre-registration is available at www.acesandchains.com


Tentative Schedule:

Saturday: Jr divisions, Recreational, Advanced

Sunday: Novice, Intermediate, Pro Open

Registration will be open from 8am-9am both days. Players meeting at approx. 9:15am, and tee off at approx. 9:30am both days.

For more info, please go to http://www.acesandchains.com/node/21

If you want to get any of these discs, just email me, or see me at leagues on Wednesdays.

Hey Frank, I think you jinxed me! Lol.

After you posted that, my wife informed me that I should have a backup in case she can't help (long story.) And, I had already been informed by my co-TD that he has decided to move to Colorado. Needless to say, I was starting to get a bit nervous about the whole thing.

But, we all know how great the sport of disc golf is, and how helpful people can be if you give them a chance. I spoke with Thor, and he has tentatively agreed to co-TD both events with me. That was a huge load of worry off my mind! Then, on Saturday, I received another offer to help with setup and registration in the morning. So, I am back to being all set with a team of experienced people around me.

I am planning to have a well run tournament that starts on time, and finishes up smoothly. Everything is coming together well.

Thanks again for all your advice and help.

Thanks again for the advice guys. I've posted on a few other forums, and it seems like the only repeated suggestion I get is the "pick your own" player pack. So, that's what I'm going to go with. Considering the low $25 entry fee, I'm going to go with a $10 player pack.

I'm thinking of ordering some t-shirts with the tournament stamp on them. Do any of you have an interest in a tournament shirt? Will these sell well? Tournament stamp can be seen here:
