Player Etiquette During Leagues
It has been brought to our attention that we have never really set guidelines for players as far as etiquette, so please read below.
It is up to the long-standing league members to enforce these guidelines. Typically, this is the member who is taking cash or handing out winnings during leagues. As of May, 2017, this includes Craig Clingan, John (Nacho) Norkowski, Dave Connors, Simon Porritt and Josh Taylor.
Our expectations are that all players come to our leagues with the hope of having a ...

Discs to the Phillipines
I met a friend at Worlds whose friend sends discs to the Philippines to help grow the sport there. I am collecting gently used discs in hopes of sending them in the next week or two. I plan to include a few Ultrastars and some minis too. If you would like to contribute, please get them to me as soon as you can. Thanks and Happy Holidays!!
Man I have a ton if you'll be in Lansing area? Maybe I could drop them off to Keith's wife at the carwash and have her or Keith get them to ya?

Wildwood Baskets are IN!!
We played a dusk round tonight on our new Wildwood course at Deerfield Nature Park. The tee signs and directional signs have yet to be planted (Tuesday?), so if you decide to play it, there's a pretty good chance you'll get lost! :) Thanks to everyone who has helped make this happen, and thanks to the Isabella Parks for their help too (especially TJ and Zach!).
Here's a google map of the layout that may help until the signs are in: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=208296612726450395794.0004cc3f8a4d2a7061361&msa=0
Does the course have tee signs in today? I am going to head out there tonight and take a crack at it!
Craig Clingan June 29, 2013 at 5:02pm
Wildwood Update
We (Simon, Brendan, TJ, Zach and I) put in a good day yesterday digging out and placing rocks on 18L, 5L and 7S, adding fill dirt and grass seed to all the pads on holes 1 thru 9 and cleaning up some of the pad areas. The last nine should be finished today. The tee signs are being painted with the auger being rented this week. TJ assures us that he's planting baskets tomorrow (Sunday) night (just in time for me to leave on vacation!). Feel free to stick around after doubles today if you want to pitch in. One week 'til the JBird!

Rally The Troups!
The Isabella Parks department is bringing in extra bodies and equipment over the next 2 days to try and wrap up what is the awesome project we like to call "Wildwood"! If you have any free time, please make a point to join us in the final stages of getting this course DONE. I will be at the park tomorrow by 10am, so if/when you get there, shoot me a text @ (989) 506-7917 and we'll put you to work. Thanks!!
I'd love to help, but I'm busy getting ready to open up Wild Haven! More work this weekend, and a Grand Opening celebration planned for the weekend of July 19-21. Who wants to help me organize a Wildwood to Wild Haven tournament in 2014? :)
"Havenwood"! Looking forward to see your course. Have heard great things from Mark and Nacho.
Craig Clingan June 21, 2013 at 6:17am
Please Stay off the Wildwood Tee Pads
Yes, all 36 tee pads have been poured on Wildwood. That's great, but let's let them cure properly before we get on them. Besides, there's no baskets to throw at yet anyways. We'll let you know as soon as the course is ready...and it's getting close! Thanks guys and gals!
Craig Clingan June 16, 2013 at 7:45pm
Make your Dad proud - work on Wildwood!
Will be out there working on tee pads today at 2pm. Bring your Dad if you have to. Happy Father's Day!! Hope you're able to give him a hug and tell him THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.
CC
Craig your the man! Spending all that time out there.. I'd like to come help if I get some free time..maybe Saturday! I really wanna see the new course.
Thanks, Paul! It's been a real labor of love (with an equal dose of hate). The majority of work is done. I believe the Parks plan to set posts and basket sleeves this Saturday, so hopefully we'll see some shiny Chainstars in place soon after that. Maybe even Tuesday doubles on Wildwood...we'll see! Thanks for the offer.

Wildwood Work - Friday 4pm
The first tee pads were poured yesterday!! They want to do the next pour early next week and we have 9 holes (18 pads) to finish prepping. They've been dug out by the tractor so we just need to set and level the frames. Hope you can make it! The more we get done today, the less we'll have to do this weekend. Thanks y'all!
Craig
A big THANK YOU to Simon, Josh, Dave, Corey, Rick and TJ for getting 3,4, and 5 pretty much ready for the pour! We'll continue this good work tomorrow after Doubles!
Craig Clingan June 12, 2013 at 6:20am
Wildwood Work - Wednesday 6pm
Still some tee pads in need of leveling, staking, etc. Hope to see you out there tomorrow (Wednesday 6/12) at 6pm. Let's meet in the Fussman lot - walk behind DF 2 and start on WW 3. We have 3, 10, 11 and 12 to get done by Saturday so come on out! Thanks!!
Craig
Well, we got 3 long and short done (minus the sand fill). 9 holes to go! Thanks to Tom, Rick, Sam and TJ for helping out tonight. Let's regroup Friday evening and all day Saturday and see if we can't knock this puppy out.
Change of gameplan. Next holes to pour are 1-6. Then we will finish with 7-12. Either way, we need all the help we can get to finish them up!!!
That's good actually since 1-3 are done (just needing sand and compacting). Maybe we can get 4-6 done tomorrow and a good chunk of the rest Saturday!

Wildwood Cleanup
Let's get together tomorrow and Friday starting at 6pm at Deerfield Park and make some brush piles! When we first started clearing fairways, we dragged cuttings out of the way. Now we know the Parks would rather use their chipper and chop up all the unwanted. I would like to spend the next couple of days dragging out the cuttings into piles so they can feed them into their chipper and reduce them into wood chips. Even though we would never throw a disc off the fairway, those that may will ... more

Fundraiser Tourney Wrap-Up
Big Thanks to everyone who donated prizes to the tourney and everyone who played as well! Special thanks goes out to Mark's Carpet Cleaning for donating a pop-up practice basket, we used it as the main prize for a raffle which brought in $215 alone. Enough prize discs were donated so that all players got at least one disc (and a free lunch). The grand total for money raised is $879 going to the new 18 holes at Deerfield!!!!! That's close to three baskets!!!! Keep 'em flyin' and thanks again -- MPDG

We were very successful last Sunday as we cleared fairways for holes 2-4. Since then, 5 has been done and 6 is about half done. Come on out this Sunday and help us keep this momentum going!

Work at Deerfield

If you have a hand saw and/or loppers, feel free to bring them. If we need, we can also borrow tools from the Parks so don't worry if you don't have tools - we can always use extra hands. Hope to see you today at 1pm!

Update on Course Expansion
Nacho and I met with Sue Ann and Mike on 9/5 at “The Shop†at Deerfield Park There were only a couple of concerns that they had about the 18-hole expansion to the Disc Golf Course:
1. Proximity to homes – The original layout map made it seem that the course crossed a neighbor’s property line, but once we showed them the new layout, it was clear that we had made sure to not impose on any other properties.
2. Interpretive ...

Bring a rake and/or a broom so we can clean up some fairways and make sure all the pads are dirt free. We may do some minimal weed removal too so if you have a blade-on-a-stick, bring it.

Beast/Goliath Closed Monday 8-30-10
If anyone is heading to Ludington for some States prep. be aware that Beast/Goliath are closed Monday for pouring of cement in place of the remaining rubber pads. If you try to play on them you'll have to answer to Gipe!
Beauty and Leviathan will be open for play.
Josh Taylor August 20, 2010 at 11:39pm
Cement FYI
Myself, Jimmy and Ryan were "informed" today that the new pads on holes 10-15 should be stayed off of until Sunday, at which time the Parks will remove the caution tape, plastic wrap, and force field. So let's stay off the new pads this week and next until all precautions are removed - Thanks

Cement Work Starts Next Week!
Jordan and I met with Sue Ann and Mike today regarding the cement tee pads. Their plan is to use Michigan Works to help dig out the pads. Mike hopes to pour 6 or 7 holes at a time and wants to have all 36 pads done by the end of August! YES!! So, the price has gone down. We're now looking at around $1960 for all the pads, so please keep looking for sponsors/donations. If anyone wants to write a check, make them out to Isabella County Parks and get them to Craig, Jordan or Nacho and we' ... more

Cement Sponsors
Jordan and I hope to speak to the County Parks real soon to get work started on the cement tee pads at Deerfield. Right now, we're being told that the cost is $3000 so we are really in need of your help in finding sponsors. At that cost, each hole (both pads) will cost 3000/18 = $167. I have created an online form where you can submit your sponsorships as you get them. Check it out at http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHQwTFRYbTJSWmIwQ1YzLTh2eVFuU0E6MQ

I am planning on heading out tomorrow morning at some point (depending on weather) to blade on a stick it and whatever other cleanup I can find. All I wanna know is...whos coming with me...whos coming with me man... (sorry, got sidetracked on a little half baked). So yeah, let me (Jordan) know if you are interested.

Deerfield Cleanup
Jeff and I worked on hole 3 and a little of hole 2 tonight swinging the "blades on a stick". It would be a mistake to expect the parks to mow prior to the tourney. It's up to us to make the park look the way it deserves. Please make an effort to help out. If you need an implement of destruction, feel free to stop by the park shop (drive just east of Deerfield entrance) and ask for a blade on a stick. If you feel like I do and see Deerfield as one of the best courses in Michigan then please help us in making it look that way for the 100 golfers coming in over the 3rd and 4th. Thanks!!
Craig Clingan June 16, 2010 at 10:52pm
Mowing at Deerfield
I just heard from Sue Ann Kopmeyer, Isabella County Parks and Rec Director that they are mowing today and will continue next week on the course. She is also working towards a discounted rate for the cement so stay tuned on that one. She might even find a hole sponsor!
Don't forget to get out there and find us some CTP sponsors for the tourney. Thanks!

Cement for Odyssey Course
Hey everyone!
I have heard from Jon Andrews that they have 9 baskets for the Odyssey School course but still need the cement to install them permanently. If anyone would like to help donate to the cause let him or me know. Does anyone know how much cement it takes to secure a basket? I'm guessing one bag per hole but I may be wrong. Anywho, it's for a great cause, so help out where you can. Thanks!

We have decided to use the Saturday Doubles ace pool to help pay for the upcoming Ice Bowl merchandise. If you would like to see the Ace Pool rejuvenated, please do some fund raising for the Ice Bowl tournament. Whatever you can raise will help. This is our first year and the tourney is only a month away (Jan 9th) so we are under a time crunch to get some of this done. I will be posting "details" on the tourney shortly. Thanks for your help and I hope we can build upon this every year to help our neighbors have a good meal.

Hey everybody. Jordan, Nacho, Jimmy and I all went to this Ace Race last year and it was a blast (and that was in the rain).

Craig will go to CMU until 6, then head to Deerfield. Everyone should drive around back to the Fussman Pavilion and park near the entrance to the Interpretive Trail. Just enter the park and keep going straight, past the hiking/biking trail head, past the fishing hole and past the swimming beach until you get to the pavilion. Parking on the right.

Basket Update
18 Innova DISCatcher® PRO Disc Golf Targets (aka baskets!) were delivered to Deerfield Park yesterday!! The parks plan is to install the sleeves tomorrow (Thursday). They want to give the cement a couple of days to cure so baskets will not be in place until Monday. It's a nice rainy day today, so hopefully they're busy making signs. Things are shaping up! Thanks to everyone who has helped make Jordan's vision become a reality.

Wednesday at Deerfield
Keith is planning on getting some work done Wednesday morning and Craig hopes to head out there around 5:30pm so if either of those times work for you, let them know to expect you. It's getting to the point where we really just need to clear all our cuttings from the fairways and maybe work on the rough here and there. Tee pads also need to be constructed but we're not sure what that entails. Holes 4 and 7 have pretty sweet pads now so you really need to get out there and check out the progress.
Craig Clingan June 9, 2009 at 3:31pm
Basket News
I know we've all been basket cases lately wondering if we'd ever hear chains at Deerfield. Well, I spoke to Keith last night and JBird has ordered them through Innova so we could be seeing some bright and shiny baskets by next weekend (depending on shipping time). Sweet!! Thanks Keith and JBird for making this happen.

If the rain stops, let's meet at the CMU course at Noon to head over to Deerfield. We may just play the course and see what yet needs to be done. Of course we'll be admiring the sweet tee pad on hole 7 that Keith and Corey made last week too. Hope you can make it.

Chippers Needed
Jordan will be setting up a time either Thursday or Friday this week to meet the County Parks workers at Deerfield to get our brush piles chipped up. Let him know when you can make it out there.

After our last work session out at Deerfield, Nacho wants to call the course "Snake Acres" after we discovered an Eastern Hog-Nosed snake quietly coiled up in the shelter of an Autumn Olive bush.

Climbing Wall Update
The turnout wasn't what we hoped for, but it was enough to raise about $120 towards the cause. Thanks to Jordan and Danielle for arranging this and I think I heard Jordan say something about doing it again in June, so that will be another chance for you to help out. Nacho, Josh and I all went to Belay School and spent most of the night helping people up and down the walls. The zip line was a big success with the kids too. Colton came a little later and helped take care of stuff during clean-up. Thanks to those who are putting forth some effort into making Deerfield Park a reality.

Friday Doubles
Chance are pretty good that there will be no one at the course to run doubles tomorrow night. Keith is headed for Lansing and hopefully the rest of us will be at the Finch Fieldhouse helping to raise money for Deerfield. We'll see you Saturday at noon for our next doubles.
Craig Clingan May 15, 2009 at 4:54am
Climbing Wall Fundraiser
Hopefully you are all joining Jordan as we raise money for yet another basket for Deerfield. Tomorrow will be the $10 family night at the Finch Climbing Wall and those of us who show up early will be taught how to belay and get fed tacos! Also, if you have a Mt Pleasant Disc Golf shirt, this would be a good time to wear it. So, see you at Finch Fieldhouse tomorrow (5/15) at 4pm for belay training. Climbing runs from 5pm until 8pm. I'm sure there could be cold refreshments somewhere afterwards. Thanks!!
Craig Clingan May 10, 2009 at 2:34am
Saturday Update
Well for doubles today, Keith, Nacho and I had a nice round of Bag Tag Cali-Singles. Keith and Nacho each shot minus 8 and I had fun watching my putter waiver in the wind. Keith pulled out the win on hole 2 placing his second drive right under the basket. Nacho was unable to can his long putt, so we both paid Keith and all kinds of bag tag swapping took place. Afterward, Ben met us out at Deerfield and the 4 of us pretty much finished holes 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. I believe we're down to the last 4 baskets being sponsored too, so things are coming along.
Craig Clingan May 3, 2009 at 5:24pm

We're meeting at 12:30 at the CMU course to carpool over to Deerfield Park. We can really knock it out today if we get enough help. We got a lot of work done on the first 6 holes yesterday and we only had 2 hours to work. See you there!

Deerfield Work Saturday
Jordan has made plans with the Parks Department to get some work done out at Deerfield Park tomorrow following our Noon doubles. We'll be leaving from the Golf Course parking lot, probably around 2. Catch a ride with us or meet us out there. The more people, the more fairways we can clear. See you tomorrow!

Deerfield today, part 2
Hey Keith and everyone,
I spoke to Jordan yesterday about this and the Parks are being pretty fussy about when we can do anything out there. Sounds like it will be limited to times when they can have someone out there with us to hold our hands. BTW, I have assorted implements of destruction in the back of my car too! ;-) Jordan may get something together on Sunday. We'll have to wait and see...
Keith Aten May 1, 2009 at 3:25pm

The $10 entry will go towards helping Max Nunn make a full recovery. I've put a flier on my website at http://clinganphoto.com/discgolf/max_doubles.jpg .
Thanks
Craig

Golf Towels
Hey, what do you all think about having some sweet towels printed up with our new logo and selling them at tourneys (aka Keith's trunk) and maybe pocketing some cash towards Deerfield? I know I could use a new DARK towel. How about you?

Flip Filling Fast
If you are thinking about playing in Saturday's tourney at Flip City, you better register NOW! I just did and there are only about 15 spots left. Here's the link: http://northernwatersseries.org/flip_city_01.htm . You will still want to get to the course early and sign in so they don't give your spot away to someone on the waiting list. See you there!

Donor Letter for Deerfield
Since the plans have been OK'd by the County, the next step is to find friends and businesses that are willing to help pay for baskets, lumber, cement, etc. Jordan has created a Donor Letter and Pledge Sheet and you can access it at : http://deerfielddiscgolf.weebly.com/uploads/1/7/6/3/1763507/donor_lettet_and_pledge_workable.pdf
If you have questions regarding the form, there is more information at Jordan's site for the course at http://deerfielddiscgolf.weebly.com/donor-page.html ...

Bag Tags
Here's a message from TJ. I will also post this under the "Talk" tab so people can respond.
"now that we have some club shirts (thanks again josh), would anyone else be interested in buying some bag tags and/or having a bag tag challenge where we order tags 1-25 or such, and as you play, winner takes the highest number. LMK what you think.
tj"

News from Jordan
"Well the meeting last night would have been good but no one came to support and the board decided there wasn't enough interest. Just kidding, its a go! I will have donation forms by the end of the week. We have to get all the money raised before work begins so keep thinking about businesses or people who may want to donate. Thanks to everyone who has helped with this project so far. Now the real work and fun begins." Jordan B.

The Final Step for Deerfield!
Jordan and the Isabella Parks Board will be taking the Deerfield Park Disc Golf Course proposal to the full County Commission tomorrow night (Tuesday, 7:00pm). It's in room 225 at the county building. I'm sure a showing of support would be nice. Once the final "OK' is given, the next task will be to get donations for baskets. Jordan is drafting up a formal tax-exempt donation form this week, so be looking for that and be thinking of businesses that might be interested in donating. Hope to see you tomorrow night at 7!

MIDGC #6
The weekend started out with a round of draw doubles Saturday (2/21) at noon. Of course, this was right in the middle of our latest winter storm. The course went from grassy knolls with clear t-pads to drifting snow and ice pellets blasting against your face. We had 10 golfers including 3 from the Big Rapids/Morley area so it was nice having some visitors to play with/against. All in all, a great day for disc golf! Check out the League page for scores and standings.

Deerfield Park Visit
Today, Jordan, Josh, Nacho, Nick and I went out to the park and actually threw most of the holes. There's still some uncertainty about the layout of 1,2 & 3 but the rest of the course is really shaping up nicely. My back was yelling at me from yesterday's escapades, so I just walked the course with my trusty Discraft 175 and threw it once in a while. The bomb down the sledding hill was a definite highlight. There's still a need to pack down a walking path if we want to get the parks board out there before the snow is gone. I'm sure we'll hear more from Jordan as this project moves forward.

Saturday Doubles 2/7/09
What a great turnout today! 15 people, easily surpassing our past record of 6. It was warm but man was it windy! The scores ranged from a 50 to a 58. Following the round, Keith and I went out to Deerfield Park and walked the newly proposed 18-hole championship layout. We're both itching to play it! Stay tuned for more news...
You guys rock! Great event.
