temp baskets?
Someone earlier in the thread asked about temp baskets (sorry, had a long weekend and didn't get a chance to check this board till this morning.)
My plan is to have two temp baskets for Shorewood. These will mirror what J-Town did at the double's league first week in Shorewood this year.
Weather man only shows a few passing T-storms between now and Saturday. We're getting some sun this week too, so hopefully, any water will dry up.

weather
Yup. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Weather man says .06 inches of precipitation on Saturday. Sounds like a passing shower to me. If that holds true, it'll be great weather for this time of year.

Also I love all the work you do with these tourneys partick. Including getting the scores up the same night. Played a tourney in valpo on Saturday and nothing is still posted at all. Big props to you and your team!!

out of curiousity since this thread is seeing some eyes. what was the players pack supposed to consist of for the first flight tourney. all i ended up with was 3 sheets of paper (other tourneys/swap meet/something else), a mini, and some sort of poster. was there a voucher or something that i missed or something else that should have been in there?
POST NUMBER 1000~!!!!

First Flight Players Pack
First Flight Players Pack was:
Aces and Chains mini
First Flight Poster (w/Gordo, the first monkey in space.)
Micro Fiber towel
There were also some flyers for my tournaments, the swap meet, etc. And, yes, I did include some Pizza Hut coupons as a favor for the local Pizza Hut by me. ;?)
Shot Down's Player Pack will be a simple $10 Ace card (ie: funny money).

Thanks!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the compliment.
I do try to run a great tournament. There is a lot of work, and there is always something that falls thru the cracks, or that I feel I/we could have done better. The more help I get, the easier it is to run a great tournament. So, I would be remiss here if I took all the credit. First Flights team was:
Mike Kursell: Did all the great artwork for the tourney, including, but not limited to: Tourney stamp for the glo Destroyers and Firebirds, Poster artwork and printing, custom scorecard for FF/Highland Park, fantastic trophies made from scratch. Seemed like whenever something needed to be done in preparation, Mike was there asking me if he could do it. He also made the logo for my shop and tweaked that artwork for T-shirts for the grand opening. Almost all of those things are beyond my skill level.
Jon Boster: Always there to help me, no matter what I need. Can't say enough about this guy. He helps me at the shop. He helps me at tournaments. I know he's my sponsored Pro, but he gives as good as he gets and then some.
Cory Clements: I can always depend on Cory to be there tournament day to help with Pre-reg, check-in, and whatever needs to be done thru the day. In a word, Cory is dependable. Sounds boring doesn't it? But, I don't have to worry about him showing up. That is priceless!
Jason Riley: I turned around at one of my tournaments last year to find Jason helping with the scoreboard. He's been my official keeper of the leaderboard ever since. One more thing I don't have to worry about!
That's my team. They deserve a lot of kudos for helping me out. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to thank them once again!
Please note that there are a lot of other people who also make my tournaments (and everyone else's possible.) I'm talking about the J-town crew, Frank Grimes, Gary Lewis, and countless other volunteers who install, improve, and do upkeep on all our courses. Thanks to everyone who helps out in their own way.

Course condition
Drove by to look at the course, and it appears to be drying out nicely. The standing water on two is completely gone, and the mud is starting to dry up. Hopefully, we won't get much more rain between now and then.
39 players so far. 3 different women's divisions with 6 players signed up. Also have one Jr Boys (under 13) who would really like some competition.

Shorewood changed to Channahon!
I have big news........HUGE news. Frankly, you're not going to believe it.
The Village of Shorewood denied my park permit today.
I want to give a HUGE thanks to Frank Grimes and Ellen Macuiba at the Channahon Park District for saving this tournament and allowing me to move it over to Channahon. Frank, as always, a huge thank you from me for switching gears and allowing me to put the tournament at Channy. I know this creates some work for you that you weren't counting on, and you were a class act when I called you to ask the favor. Ellen, I can't tell you how much of a relief it was when you agreed to give me the permit for Channy. Both of you save me, and my tournament, and I won't forget it!
Thanks Frank and Ellen!!!
