Hello from Central Illinois

[Bflynn23]

I'm an 18 year old college freshman this year. I work at one of the local golf courses so I get the luxury of playing both courses free . I play golf regularly and shoot in the mid 70s with a 7 handicap.

Where in Central Illinois? I'm in central Illinois, too, about 40 minutes from Peoria.

[Bflynn23]

I live in pekin about 20 minutes or so from peoria

[ishot67]

Canton for me. I go to Pekin often. I use to hit balls at Lick Creek.

[Bflynn23]

Thats cool. I worked at Lick Creek last year and working at Parkview this year.

I hope you guys are all cub fans!

[Bflynn23]

lol I don't really watch baseball all that much or keep up on it, just what I see on sportscenter in the mornings really . So I don't really have a favorite team.

I hope you guys are all cub fans!

No, I'm smarter than that. I root for a team that actually has won the world series in my lifetime! The Cardinals.

Howdy from West Central IL........

I grew up in that insignificant parcel of Illinois known as "Not Chicago." I am very familiar with the Peoria area.

Coming from a fellow "Almost-Chicagoian" (South about 1.5 hours by joliet)...Living in the state of Illinois and rooting for the CARDINALS!?! THE CARDINALS!? Are you serious...come on...home town.

Believe it or not, the area is split 50/50 for Cubs/Cards fans. We are halfway between both Chicago & St. Louis. It's always been like this around the area. When I was growing up, it wasn't "who do you root for?" it was "are you a Cardinal fan or a cub fan?"

Not usually. i went to a sales conference and the guys from NY were teasing me and they asked me how far I had to walk out of my driveway to see a cow. I said about 100 yards! but, at least I had a driveway. They all lived in apartments and paid way more for them then I did for my house and 2.5 acres! Gotta love them cows!

Eureka here, between Peoria and Bloomington. Sorry to dissapoint, not a Cubs fan, or Bears, and I don't like pro basketball.
With that said - Go Packers!!! (Couldn't resist. I catch a lot of crap for it.)

I go to Eureka often. Eureka College is one of my customers.
