2015 Shore Acres Disc Golf League

Glowtober is coming! As the sun sets earlier, weekday glow rounds will soon be upon us!

Every Tuesday in October I will be lighting the baskets for $5 glow dubs. Meet at sunset, tee off shortly after.

With the sun setting at 7:24 in the beginning of the month and 6:40 by the end you can come out and still make it to bed on time!

Sure wish those scoring elves would get things posted!

Will anyone be posting updates for zach while he's off chasing fortune and glory?

Chuck Cusack    August 16, 2015 at 4:27am

Is there anywhere on this site to see current handicaps and total points? All I can ever find is the weekly points.

You know that sun that's ALWAYS in your eyes when you tee on hole 8? I got SO MANY washed out faces from it!! I did my best to edit them so you didn't all look like albinos, but its still pretty noticeable in some photos, which are going up now! Enjoy!

I am helping a dad collect used, beginner friendly discs his son's little league team can have. Max Pluene is a ten year old disc golfer who shot the Shore Acre Open, Farm City Classic, and Michigan state finals last year at nine. He wants to get more his age playing disc golf and competing in the Jr. Divisions. Max's dad is coordinating a time Max can share disc golf with his little league team. I'm asking you to help provide the plastic.

This is a great opportunity to 'pay it forward', and 'grow the sport'. Anyone who has played for a few years has discs they no longer throw. Let's recycle some plastic, and get the younger generation playing less video games and spending more time outside! It would be awesome to see half a dozen or more juniors compete at the Shore Acres Open in August.

Here's what I'm doing to sweeten the pot.
( like growing the sport, and payin it forwards not sweet enough). Anyone who donates a disc will be entered into a raffle for a disc golf item your going to want. For every ten discs donated I donate a raffle item. I collect 30 discs 3 people win a raffle.

I'll be collecting discs this Tuesday 06/16 from 3 till 6. I'll pull the raffle winners, and post the results on fb before I tee with the last card.

Thanks in advance. Fitz.

I apologize for the delay in posting pictures. It's been a long, exhausting and stressful week. But I promise they will be up tomorrow!!

David Loggins    June 5, 2015 at 4:40am

So if we're doing a shotgun start does that mean lots of cards with more than 4?

I will be out enjoying the beautiful weather tomorrow on hole 5, from 3-6:30. See you all there :)

Zachary Vaughn    June 1, 2015 at 10:30pm

Stat of the day:
Today we'll take a look at standard deviation of scoring per hole (on yellow pins) to see which holes play consistent from week to week and which ones vary.

My first assumption is that wind holes would likely see the most variability from week to week...Holes 1 and 2 seem to be the most affected by the wind.

My first assumption is that wind holes would likely see the most variability from week to week...Holes 1 and 2 seem to be the most affected by the wind. According to data from preseason through week #3, believe it or not, Hole #18 is seeing the largest change in scoring from week to week with a standard deviation of 0.261. Maybe it has something to do with the trees along the right side of the fairway? Maybe they are like the apple trees from the Wizard of Oz coming to life to deflect discs on certain days. To no surprise, holes #1, and #2 round out the top 3 with #2 coming in at 0.236 and #1 with a 0.218.

Conversely, which holes play the most consistent? My guess would be hole #10 given that it is mostly open and short in distance...or maybe #4? Another surprise, hole #14 plays the most consistent from week to week with a standard deviation of 0.077. In 2nd with a 0.081 is #10 followed by #6 with a 0.090.
