IOS #5 @ Rockford, IL
DISContinuum Presents the Illinois Open
PDGA Sanctioned A-Tier
September 6th & 7th 2008

I cannot speak for Jon & Bruce but this has been a goal of mine to host an A-Tier since we started the Illinois Open in 2003. We will do our best to offer a very organized A-Tier. Our goal has been to offer a major event with reasonable entry fee and tons of value for your buck. We run tournaments we would want to play and can afford to play. I cannot tell you how crushed I am not being able to play this one but am very excited in being part of something special in Illinois. All 3 courses are in the same park. With current gas prices you can load the car with your buddies and you will not have to leave the course all day. There are many reasonable priced hotels in Rockford. Camping is also avaliable. Check the official website for updates.

Entry Fee-$60 Onsite (minus $10 if you preregister onine or by mail)
Player pack-TBD
Free Lunch-More details to come
2 Days/4 Rounds of golf at one venue. (No traveling between rounds)

ATTENTION ALL LADY DISC GOLFERS

OK, LISTEN UP LADIES. I am trying to help here. I am beginning to wonder if the ladies of disc golf really want to promote this sport or just gripe about the low numbers of women players. I have issued a challenge on other threads to help those who want to help themselves. RESULTS, the board went quiet. My wife and I are trying to build a disc golf resort near tulsa, oklahoma. We are not disc golfers but we love the sport and the disc golf community as a whole. We are absolutely putting our money where our mouth is. We have had the honor of having our course played by some very good women players, including Courtney Peavey and Valerie Jenkins. As newcomers to the sport, I do my research by surfing other clubs discussion boards and try to ascertain needs of the sport where we might be able to fill a niche. To that end, we are willing to host an all women's tournament with some substantial added money (depending on the number of entries). All I hear from women is their concern about the lack of competition or female competitors. It is obvious to me that we need to raise the bar for women in this sport. If there is genuine concern for this sport by enough ladies, then we are here to help you, ladies, raise the bar. If it is just a venue for negative comments then, count us out. Any ladies want to do something positive and good for ladies disc golf. The ball is now in your court. Jim Taylor, owner, The Lodge in Pawhuska, Ok. 918-724-3121.
