Ypsi Dubs Winter League

A few people have asked if Church is in service this Sunday as they will not be able to make the DGLO Championship Series #2. Yes - Father Gee has stepped up to ensure the Rolling Hills Church will be open for those who desire Church. Most will be at the DGLO event looking for redemption but if you can not make it Father Gee will have your back.

DGLO Championship Series #2
Sunday, February 28, 2010
at Independence Lake County Park (Whitmore Lake, MI)

Well Welcome to our Church, Sean McFarlan, Ska Bob and Chris Day makes it out for his first Winter round.

27 players as a few had to go and see if they could crack some plastic but what a great day for a winter round.

A big Thanks for Nick Mucker and Chris Behrmann for clearing the pads yesterday - Great Moral support Chris. And to Chris Gee who spread soem cheer with his salt - We all owe you guys - THANKS!!!

Brain Welch parked the Pre-round CTP - Nice shot! I hope the etched Conner Brewery Growler and mug come in handy from time to time.

Ken Parks and Mike Raley took the two CTPs and got their hands on a $10 Throw Shop Gift Certificate. Mike hope you all the best in your rounds on the West coast - look forward to seeing you back on our courses in April.

Two Calhouns in the payout this week - luckily for me I had one of them on my team. Ben Calhoun and I took a bit to get warmed up but had fun and managed to squeak in at last cash at 4th place. Jon Steiner and Greg Lane edged us out by a stroke for 3rd. A power team Mike Raley and Bob Smart dropped three more strokes for -12 and 2nd place. Another power team Terry Calhoun and Ken Parks shaved more stroke off, -13 to take First and some extra points for being the clear "Outright Winners".

So how did this affect the points:
No movement in the top 6 places although Terry, Ken and Greg added points and got a little closer.

Chris Gee and Mike Raley both moved up and their both tied for 7th place with Joe Arnet. Ben Calhoun holds on to 10th place.

A2CoPS
As this week comes to and end and with only two more full weeks of regular leagues before the Final Event, here is how the 10 ten are fairing:

No movement in the top 5 but all added points this week except Daemon , so Bob Smart now is only 29 points out of first place - easily only one league round away.... Ben Calhoun in 3rd is 92 out of first but closing in steadily. 10th place - Joe Arnet - is 252 out of first currently, with 4 to 63 points separating the leaders from each other in the top 10. An Ace could make a big difference. What do the last two weeks hold for the points race? Will it come down to the Final Event on March 7th?

Hope to see ya soon - Keep the Faith

Peace
Foz

I'd like everyone's input on if this Trophy is worth of representing Ypsi Dubs for the next few years.

http://www.discgolfscene.com/profile/1064/pictures/album_1723/32377#32377

It would be a perpetual trophy in which we add the name of the winner (1st place) to after each league and display someplace where everyone can see it. A perpetual plague is planned for the lodge at Rolling Hills with the top 3-5 from each league but this would be the Holly Grail for 1st.

Is it worthy?

Hope to see you at DGLO Championship Series #1

Peace be with you.

In discussion concerning the switch to Summer league and Tuesday evenings - several Church goers have expressed interest in also keeping Ypsi Dubs Church - In Service - (pending sanctioned and tournament at Rolling Hills). Several have jobs and life schedules that prevent them from playing on weekday evenings. Should the format of one of the league be different? I can not always attend so if you are interested in this let us hear your ideas and if you want to assist in ensuring there is always a League Coordinator or two on hand. Add your comments to the Talk - Thanks - especially to those who have helped so much with the Ypsi Dubs Winter league operation and making it so fun to participate in.

Slush & Ice with an occasional drizzle but all and all a pretty good day - could have been much worse weather wise per the forecast.

Welcome Kurt Maty (6184), Joe Wallow (22608), Mitch Winters (36898) to Ypsi Dubs Sunday Church Service – Glad to see you guys out. And thanks to all who made the trek out – some further than others – always great to see everyone out for some winter play.

Rob Shaffer ran the pre-round CTP and ran away with the booty – nice shot Rob.

Daemon & Sheldon pulled out a fantastic round, especially in these conditions, minus 15 – awesome guys. Almost tied the league record.

A three way tie at –11 but Framo (Brown Park!) & Ben Lengel took top cash from the playoff followed by Scott White & Mike Fortunato (101), Tim Gacioch & Dave Munro.

CTPs - Brian Welch grabs a nice Layer 8 pull over for his nice toss and Daemon hits another CTP.

I did not get the results of Chris Behrmann’s sponsored CTP – details to be added.

Leader board movers and shakers:

Jake Schooley move up to 6th, Ken Parks at 7th and Joe Arnet moves into the 10th position – nicely done gentlemen.

On the A2CoPS Leader Board:

The following moved up one position each:

JD to 5th
Joe Arnet to 7th
Pat Burke to 9th
And
GLane takes the 10th spot

Daemon Stahlin at 1st extends his lead over Bob Smart at 2nd by adding 30 points and reaching the 500 point level.

What will happen on the leader board this week? DGLO Championship Series #1
Get your pints while their cold. Ann Arbor Cooperative Point Series (A2CoPS), Final Event March 6th. Make sure you listed on the A2CoPS Leader board to be eligible for the fun at Indy Lake.

Here league video from last week. It's still uploading now and then it will be converted but some time soon for your late night viewing pleasure.

Hope to see ya at Church tomorrow.

Brothers and Sisters I beseech you all to embark on this pilgrimage together. The time has come and you are being called upon to server a greater good. We can band together and make a difference, TOGETHER. Lets have fun and help lay the foundation for the resurrection of DGLO. I know for sure that the party will be bigger and better, IF WE ARE ALL TOGETHER. (Math: 101 & Psych: 405)

I know not all of us may be able to make this journey. Let me know if you plan to stay behind to continue Sunday worship in our absence.

This means that there are only 5 more Ypsi Dubs league events remain before the Ann Arbor Cooperative Point Series Final Event, Saturday, March 6th.

But fear not, for Ypsi Dubs Winter will continue into March. We may terminate before the posted March 28th depending on when the new Summer leagues are scheduled to begin. I will post more on this shortly so we can plan for our final Ypsi Dubs Winter league round and the celebration of Spring and the new beginning, of a new league season. We will determine when we make the transition from Sunday to Tuesday – based on the heavenly illumination that grants us extended worship hours. Man - does that mean there is Sun and Warm days on the way. Make sure you enjoy the snow while we have it ;-) Before long we will be sweating in the heat, trying to punch through the leave filled branches, searching through the poison ivy for our discs and playing round after round into the night, with natural light – Oh what a life. How blessed we are.

Peace be with you all.
