Not heading to Amateur Worlds this year? IOS #4 @ Rockford, IL is going to be monstrous and a must play Midwest event. Mark July 29th (Adv/Pro) or 30th (Int/Rec/Jr) on your calendar for this Am/Pro B-Tier event.

Last year 167 players played this inaugural event ranking it tied for 13th of most attened PDGA events in 2005. IOS attendance has skyrocketed this year up 55%. If the trend continues over 250 players will be at Rockford. On average there have been 23 pros, 54 advanced, 44 intermediate, and 46 recreational players at each of the first three events. There have also been approximately 15 WOMEN at each event playing various divisions.

Two pools of 72 players on both courses will limit play to 4-somes each day. 42 holes will be played and there will be a Final 4 Safari for the top 4 Open players. IOS #4 is an Am Nationals qualifying event (www.amnationals.com). The ace pool will be starting at over $500.00 on the 29th.

Marshall Street (http://www.marshallstreetdiscgolf.com) has sponsored 18 items as CTP's for the weekend. Thank you Marshall Street! Combining the Marshall Street CTP's with our usual CTP's there will be approximately 50 CTP's split between the 2 days. We strongly encourage you to preregister for this event.

The Brakel women will be back from camp and will be coming to Rockford. Diana will probably play men's rec since she has been promoted out of women's intermediate. I don't know how many of the non-Brakel Waterford Junior Girls are coming.

We had seven women in the pro women's division and three women in the men's rec division. Kelsey finished in the prizes in Men's Rec but not in a cashing spot in Pro Women.

I think a lot of women are doing the math and seeing that for the good advanced woman trophy-only pro and men's rec are the places to be. Better competition, lower entry fees, better value for the dollar.

Marie Schwinn, for the second time this year, won a CTP that was available to all players. She says it was on a 300+ foot hole. She would know. She won it.
