The 49th IOS and first of the 2012 season will take place the first weekend of May (5th-6th) in Channahon, IL.  Come on out and participate in this Pro C/Am-B Tier event as we remember my dad at The Dave Pitner Memorial.

Pre-Reg closes THURSDAY night, sorry, no exceptions!

Please note the NEW CHECK-IN AND PLAYER MEETING TIMES - 7:30-8:30 check-in, player meeting at 8:45!  This should get everyone started in their rounds about 30 minutes sooner, and that means that you can get home just that much sooner!

hey Scott, just curious if this will this be a USADGC qualifier or not.  Was listed on the web as pending still.. http://www.usadgc.com/qualifiers.html

thanks again!

I just exchanged emails with them about this.  I confirmed that YES, this will be a USADGC qualifying event because of the B-Tier status.  Cool!

A reminder that pre-reg closes Thursday night this week!  Save some money over your day-of entry fee!

can we assume that the course is closed to local /casual play during the tournament  ?
will this info be posted to the course in advance of the T  ?

my registration has been submitted, cant wait to get out here to play

the earliest that I'd be able to post anything is Friday, sorry that I never got a chance to get a sign out there.  The course will be closed though.  It's really tough to bounce casual players when the pavilion is so far away from hole 1.  Depending on the attendance will determine what I tell players on how to handle the casual players.


THANK YOU FRANK GRIMES!  We have an added sponsorship of $180 reward dollars that will be given out as extra CTP prizes throughout the weekend because of his gracious sponsorship!  What a great guy!

Don't forget pre-reg closes Thursday night this week!  Take advantage of saving a couple extra bucks off your entry fee!  Forecast is calling for mid to upper 70's both days - beautiful weather!
