Brandon"RedRum" Redmond

jason "Raffle bagger" Phillips

nope I found a nuke.

mike "jewphish" cole

jason "Raffle bagger" Phillips

mike "jewphish" cole

jason "Raffle bagger" Phillips

Joe "Chaldean Cannon" Benno

I do all the time

We run BOBIS doubles on Saturday during the winter months. I know Ted Stoebling and Louis Caponi run the Metro Detroit League and they do random draw doubles on Wednesday at Firefighters. Jeff Bauman also runs Team Stony AM doubles/Pro singles on Friday nights at Stony Creek.

John Minicuci

Tuesday evenings is Eastside Ace Run League, Random Draw, and Thursday Doubles at Starr Park is also a Random Draw format. That completes the local leagues around here during the week. There are so many local and short drive tournaments, that the weekends are virtually all booked up for any kind of formal league.

Jeff Dutka

Thanks guys!

Tim Searles

The way that we talked about it on our card is that if cards were to split a group of 8 down to two groups of 4, you will be waitng close to the same amount of time as a group of 8. I fully agree with you that the waiting does get ridiculous when it comes to certain holes. We had a group of 9 and we ... more

The way that we talked about it on our card is that if cards were to split a group of 8 down to two groups of 4, you will be waitng close to the same amount of time as a group of 8. I fully agree with you that the waiting does get ridiculous when it comes to certain holes. We had a group of 9 and we were blazing through holes as to not hold up groups behind us. Although not everyone is at the same speed, it does still make for a LONG night for sure.

John Minicuci

Curious? How many groups actually listen to Dan when he talks before the weekly play? How many groups are there but talking to one another? How many groups are out at their holes before we break from the pavillion? I think the answer lies within...

doug granby

i think you all just need to come out with a 6 pack (lets be honest a 12 pack) a seat and just smile.with all those people playing in one league at one time I'm surprised it didn't take longer.

John Minicuci

I have to say that we really were only held up on a few holes and thought play has moved along at a decent, not great, but decent pace. It does put a smile on my face to see mob golf like we have it from Square Lake Road (holes 4 and 5) as far north as my old eyes can see. So many good people among our Metro D family. And yes Doug, maybe a 12 is worthy :-) !

Brandon"RedRum" Redmond

Maybe we need to start limiting league night then? Adding strokes ins't the way to solve it Ryan. Face it, the course can't handle the amount of people we bring to leagues on any given night. Maybe you could create another league on another night an run it? I think most people show up expecting a 3 hour round, and don't care. They are there to have fun.

Ryan Koeppen

well you clearly have never been behind bernies group on top of another group of 9 and then add another group of 9 in front of that. its getting ridiculous. and why isnt forcing a stroke penalty for having a group bigger than the group size rule that the people that run the league create? why is it ... more

brent moreno

well ppl come out to play with their friend and dont want to split groups i know my brothers come out to play with us and not anyone else. and this has been goin on since ive started playing. when u come to monday nite leagues expect a wait on a few holes.u no how it is

Brandon"RedRum" Redmond

Do the math Ryan, you just can't do it. We had easy 100 guys out there. 18 x 6 = 108. so any time that there is over 108 ppl (which is prolly quite often if you check the books), you expect the cards that bring on the extras to take stroke penalties? That doesn't make sense. I for one know we have s ... more

That doesn't make sense. I for one know we have split out group before, and had a card of 5 and a card of 4...we were still waiting the same amount of time on every hole. what if our group sent over 5 ppl to yours, and now you had 7...would you take the stroke penalties that you want to enforce? I'll come play with you then, and do my part to shrink our group by 1. But it really isn't gonna change anything unless Dan and John cap the league. And what if the ace pool rolls for a few weeks? then you have guys coming out who don't normally play. Where will they go? you could wind up with every card out there taking your penalty strokes.

Lance Bayliss

ryan, mondays are what they are and that will not change. either gotta deal with it, or change up your league nite,and thats exactly what i did.

Darren Harper

why not move the leauge to a 27 hole course?

John Minicuci

Start time is at 6 pm. We already finish in the dark the 1st and last 4 weeks of the season. A bigger course would require an earlier start time. Even if we added the 6 holes at FF, we would still need to start earlier.

Dwayne Kay

I have to side with Ryan on this one. It's frustrating to see groups of 7-8 and then a group of 4-5. Some people care more about socializing than they do about trying to help the course flow. It would help maintain a nice rhythm if we quashed the large groups. I have no problem with adding strok ... more

I have to side with Ryan on this one. It's frustrating to see groups of 7-8 and then a group of 4-5. Some people care more about socializing than they do about trying to help the course flow. It would help maintain a nice rhythm if we quashed the large groups. I have no problem with adding strokes to scores when there are more than 6 on a card. Also, those one or two folks that get squeezed in at the bottom are harder to read and total for those who stay at the end when everyone else has left. I'm not saying you can't socialize and hang with your friends, but draw the line at 6. If you wann switch up who you play with, mix it upi within your group a bit, or schedule a round some other time. Quite honestly, I think it's a bit selfish and inconsiderate. Just my $0,02 worth...

Dwayne Kay

As for accomodating more than 108 players 108, that's why there's two groups that start on holes like 1 and 10. Balancing the number of plaers on a card would help all the groups move at a more even pace, and while there will still be backups on 3, 11, and 18, there would be less waiting time overall, and things would move at a more consistent pace.

Ted Stoebling 'Zeteter DG'

its a beer league where ppl go to enjoy the company of friends, bring a chair and a cooler and relax for a change. no matter what is said this is the 24th year of this league and i

Ted Stoebling 'Zeteter DG'

dont believe complaining will do anything but stir up drama, which is quite unnecessary

RJ Lacelle

Just chill out and enjoy the game

John Minicuci

And try to win the Super Pool...

My 2 cents: Why do we play disc golf? TO HAVE FUN! Why are the rules made how they are? To support the general public and make it overall fun!

My 2 cents: Why do we play disc golf? TO HAVE FUN! Why are the rules made how they are? To support the general public and make it overall fun! If you have a real suggestion to improve the play, why not take it upon yourself to ask the league administrators privately instead of causing a ruckuss on a social media site? The administrators are trying to make sure everyone has fun. If you still have problems with this league and aren't having fun, DONT COME. What I see here is far to much confrontation. Setting a cap on the league is a good suggestion. I'd also suggest a change in rules (time alloted per shot, stroke penalty) to make it flow better. Apollogies if I am beating a dead horse here, just trying to help.

brent moreno

hey ben have u even came out to mo day leagues at fire fighters?

Ben Jackson

I have never had the chance. I live 45 mins away and have had a very busy schedule with work and school. I know how the league works though. I was merely making suggestions. I have run leagues myself too. This Waterford area needs direction for a local group of decent disc golfers. I will be attending this league every once in a while though.

brent moreno

well when u get a hundred plus ppl playing gets a lil crazy

Ben Jackson

Believe, me.. I know about party control. I get that it's crazy, but mostly fun crazy! I'll be talking to John soon.

John Minicuci

So far I know my sister-in-law, Krystal Fromm, and the bartender at Sunnybrook all won on the 1st week. No idea if anyone hit this past week.

Tim Searles

4/15

Mark Stephens

Well, if you did not sell every ticket, the chances that you have to pay out a winner on any day drops as well...

Ken Mango

Mark, Thats not how my luck runs. , but you are correct there is hope.

Mark Stephens

LOL. I bought a few on Saturday but I did not ask how many were printed. 999?

Ben Jackson

over 1000 i believe. 100*30=$3000. 30k/$5 ticket = 600 tickets sold to break even. I bought a few and would like to buy some more if I have the chance.

Jeremy- Hitman- Horton

i tryed for the 666 ticket but it was gone already ..........

Mark Stephens

And you were surprised?

John Minicuci

There were 1000 tickets available (000 - 999).

John Minicuci

Try http://greatlakesopen.org/

John McClenahan

any idea what the player pack is yet?

John Minicuci

I wish I did. I have a few suggestions in and they are working feverishly on this topic as well as the fundraiser discs. If its anything like the discussions we have had, the players are going to like them.

Dwayne Kay

1) I'm so glad you'll be running this event, but I'm so pissed, because it's the weekend of my daughter's commencement!

Brandon"RedRum" Redmond

I am def looking to play in this. If not, I plan on caddying for Ragna Byrde or Jessika Edvardsson, both top female pros coming in from Sweden. Either way, I'm gonna be there!

Jay B

Jay B

thanks ken! this is great stuff

Thanks Ken, just got home and that is exactly what I was going to post. RJ, using the URL Address Bar above you can click on the last 2 in "2012" and change it to a 1 so it reads 2011. You can also chage the year so it reads "2009" and "2010" to see how the scores stack up from year to year. Please note, the Pros and AM1 play 1 round from the longs. Traditionally, we have everyone at this event play from the shorts because 2 rounds of 24 holes made for events ending in the dark. Now that we have changed the course and will play 2 rounds of 18, we may have the top divisions play both rounds from the longs. Regardless, the AM2s will probably play 1 round from the longs and 1 from the shorts. Both AM3 and AM4 will play both from the shorts. These formats apply to the younger players and the Masters division will depend on who participates. Feel free to ask for more!

RJ Lacelle

Excellent information. I barely play the shorts at stony so it's about time I practiced. Thanks!

Jeff Bauman

Keep in mind it was very windy that day from what I remember not to mention that particular course layout doesnt exist anymore. Using Firefighters scores from the MCCG may be better to judge you scores against others.

John Minicuci

95% of the time it is windy at Stony, silly :-) !
