E~Mac, will the courses being used go beyond Jones Park?

chrispfrisbee
Jul 24 2007, 03:59 PM
Not an "official" answer but I've been to three of the previous four GB Opens and Jones is the only park that has been used in the tournament. Two flights play the two courses at the same park simultaneously.

I have a block of 30 rooms reserved at the Emporia Travelodge. Group ID is discgolf. Rate is $55 a night plus tax. They will be holding these rooms for us until the 15th of August. I apologize about the short notice; their clause states that if the rooms aren't filled by that date they have to be able to fill them. They said the group rate also expires after the 15th, so make sure you get your room reserved soon. Under new ownership....they assured me the pool was open and the guy who was dumping chemicals last year was fired! Free wireless internet in room, business center in the lobby, and cont breakfast. They asked that i relay that the dome (pool) closes at 10 as a courtesy to other guests and there was no alcohol allowed in that area. Any questions, pm me or ask them here.

same hotel. they were bought shortly after the tourney last year. while doing fundraising, one of the neighboring businesses made the comment of how much the hotel has improved. the manager assured me that the hotel is in much better hands than before. i have also approached other local hotels and expect to hear back Monday or Tuesday. I will post any info as soon as i have it.

We stayed there for the Safari. It didn't seem to bad. Probably gonna stay there for the GBO. Thanks for the info.

They are not tight. There are no holes cut out of a forest. There are a some must get 2's, There are a few if you walk away with a 3 you will be pumped.

Hole 2 on the East course is probably the best hole in Kansas.

It is! Because you'll go out to the right over the OB and try to get down there as far as you can for the next shot, which is no picnic. And DON'T go straight into that cedar, that'll get you a seven. :D

But if you carefully place your truck, parked on that corner, you can deflect a lot of righties ob. :D:D
I had a few marks on there but it was worth it. :D
