Contacted BIG in Park Ridge.
Men's golf highlights are today at 3:30 CST with repeats later tonight. Quick response from communications young lady who said technical difficulties were responsible for yesterday's glitch.
Speaking of quick responses: on a whim, I emailed Coach Sloan (I'm not a stalker; her email is right on the Illini golf website) and wished her and the Illini well. I thought: who is this Coach Sloan, where did she come from? Revelation: she's Renee Heiken! I've got to follow Illini golf more closely.
She got back to me early this morning to say thanks! Wow!
Go ILLINI!
P.S. I've read Stone Creek, home course of Illini golf, may be in financial trouble. Is this so? And if it closes, where do Illini call home - the old orange and blue courses?
I live in DeKalb and want to get down there to check out Stone Creek. In an article, the owner said SC would remain open this season.
Stone Creek is losing money. It has probably never turned a profit. That was ok with old man Atkins. The kids look at it differently. A 'home course' nomenclature is not really relevant because the team never plays at home. There was a quirk in the schedule this year and they did schedule Bradley at home at the last minute. Prior to that, it has been years since they played at 'home'.
