J-TOWN DOUBLES WEEK 5 RESULTS 2018 
WEEK 5 - May 2, 2018
First Half #5
Trinity Links, Lockport, IL

TEES
Short Tees - Par 63 • 21 Holes
We added 3 extra holes. Hole 4a was a 225 foot island shot to the practice basket. If you didn’t make it into the circled area you were OB and you had to putt from the marked drop zone. We split hole 7 into three holes. Hole 7A we played a 180 foot hole from the old long tee near hole 18 to an elevated basket in the open field. Hole 7B we played a 305 foot shot from the long tee closes to fence line to a temp basket in the middle of the fairway. Hole 7C we teed off from near the creek  and threw to hole 7s basket. It was a 265 foot shot.

CONDITIONS
During registration we had a crazy ten minute storm roll in from the west. It produced 50mph winds with hail and quite a bit of rain. The round started out at around 82 degrees with dew points in the mid to upper 60s. So it definitely felt humid. The winds were calm and clouds were scattered. The temps cooled into the low 70s but the dew points made it feel warmer throughout the whole night. A great night for disc golf.

NEW WOMENS DIVISION
This year will have an all womens division. We will keep points the same way as the other divisions. We will have one first half winner, one second half winner and one overall winner. We hope more women will come out throughout the year. Please spread the word. 

NOTES
• Three years ago today we lost a dearly loved member of our disc golf family. Dan O you are missed by many.

• Tody is Dan O Days at Trinity Links. 

• Dale A. Bartlet: The Trinity Links Gatekeeper passed away a year ago yesterday. Trinity isn’t the same without Dale. Dale loved his smokes and his coffee but he definitely loved his disc golf family. We’ll miss you buddy. 

• Trinity Links has come a long way these last few years. A huge THANK YOU goes out to all the guys who have busted their ass working on this course. There’s been a  lot of blood, sweat, tears and heart put into making this course great. I’m just glad to say it’s one of our home courses.

• I witnessed the Trinity Pond eat at least 25 discs today. WOW!

• Thanks guys for letting us use the Trinity Links club house for registration. It would of been a disaster if we all couldn’t huddle in there when that storm came roaring in.

• Once again we had many new faces that we hope will continue to show up each week. We also hope that the familiar faces that weren’t there will make their way back and be part of this year’s league.
We miss you!

Leanne “Lee Lee” Reidy shot a fantastic round of 65 (+2) to take the Womens division. Leanne makes a jump on the leaderboard.
