    Other info

    A quick reference guide:

    5 - Brutal beatdown in every way. Length, difficulty, variety that could fuel a small state.
    4.5 - Everything all wrapped up nicely. Some true Par 4's and 5's, or insane terrain.
    4 - Good mix of stuff, elevation helps a lot. Or one theme explored very, very well.
    3.5 - More bland, repetitive stuff, or a split of good/bad holes on a coures.
    3 - A lot of niners, with the same desire to play as some of the eighteens.
    2.5 - Something fun or tricky that separates from the bland.
    2 - Fun to play, not much challenge. Some line shaping or hilliness to mix things up.
    1.5 - Course that's really trying to be fun, but just falls short. Will do in a pinch.
    1 - Painful. Not designed for people who want to have fun discing.
    .5 - Semi-playable/not really disc golf. Or something better served for mini DG.
    0 - Failure.

    Not that these 9-ers are that bad, but the variety is almost impossible to get.

    hey alan, thanks for coming over to the qca man. I had a blast, albeit an exhausting one. Anytime you want to give the qca another run, let me know. There are still 5 or 6 more courses we skipped for the better ones. I'm still up in the air about this weekend, I'll probably make a decision by tomorrow or so.

    No, winter not in our plans. You guys will probably play Silver Creek; which is also a good course; and, perhaps Lower Cato Falls; which is a decent one. As you saw this past weekend; a couple rounds at an 18+ hole course will take some time; so, you guys could easily spend a whole day at Winter. Tim will be a good host and is a good guy. Plus, I'm sure you guys will enjoy yourselves at the cottage. Your crew, going up there, should just make plans sometime next spring to come up to the Fox Cities for a weekend. We have lots of good golf here too. I am looking to stay close to home this upcoming weekend.

    Enjoyed every minute of it. No such thing as "slowing us down" in my book. Steve? Maybe, but who cares? I am sore too. We did play mostly championship level courses. Stay in touch regarding what you guys are looking like for this weekend. If you're coming Saturday, you should meet up and play on the way; if that timing works out.

    You seem to know me better than I think!?? I'll try my best to charge it!!:) Not sure if you interested, I'm headn down to Highland park after work to meet up with Geoff to get at least 2 daylight rounds.. Lemme Know!
    TheWCG
    Lol.... That dude looked like Gil!:) Yea, I broke down and scooped up a Glow Wizard from Marshall Street this mournin. Should have it by next week!!
    TheWCG
    Ahh...... No problem with da Old Pyle!:) And I think I'm gonna have to check that store out! the Liquor store right?!? And if the rain keeps you guys from goin to the Quad Cities, lemme know!

    man you guys are troopers. goddamn 97 holes, what a feat! Ozark is actually down just north of Rolla, MO. About 2 hours from stl. A long trip for me and a hell of a haul for you. Plus I learned this weekend that only ozark will be played, not atikas. So I might wait to do both. There will be a trip down there at some point with the traveling LAKERS so I'll probably wait till then, and that's when you guys should come down IMO, bc the LAKERS are a blast to play with. I'll keep you posted on that.

    Should be a fun trip up to Winter Park, tallpaul and a bunch dgcr folks are going to be up in the appleton area that weekend too, you should definitely consider hitting that area one of the days.

    Let me know if you want to go to the qca this weekend, I can head up and show you around and give you a place to stay.

    peace

    oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, dave mac is having his ozark mtn tourny next weekend. Only ozark is being used though, not akitas run. Come on down for some crazy extreme hill golf man

    Oh and let me know in advance when you guys want to spend a weekend in the quad cities, I'll come up and show you around and possibly hook you up with a place to stay.

    Hey Alan, thanks again for showing me around the joliet area...I had a really good time. As far as where the courses fall into the IL courses for me, I would say that Highland falls somewhere near or 6th or 7th in the state, it didn't crack my top 5 (foundation, mcnasty, camden 2, rockspring, wildcat) and I have a big thing for woodland park in collinsville from the longs, and the original lincoln park from the longs. And it's been 8-10 yrs since I played Sinnissippi and Anna pages, I guess I'll just have to play Highland again to decide:). West park probably falls somewhere in the middle of my IL 18 hole courses, probably slightly lower than prospect and camden 1 in the qc, slightly higher than effingham and the blormal courses.
    And Trinity slightly lower than West, probabaly in my 75th percentile or so. I need to go back and rank my IL courses, I've probably thought the most about the top ten, but beyond that it gets a bit hazy.

    Not sure if I can make it on Saturday, I'm trying to make it happen though. Sunday I'm playing in the tournament in Round Lake.
    TheWCG
    Haynes!! I didn't realize how close that course was to Highland?!? And that pic of the bears had me crackin up...:)

    I am at the mercy of the others and they are going to West Park for the day. Looks like I will be there all afternoon.
