What's it take to get a response from someone in this club? It's been over a month, and been being ignored on multiple email attempts. I was told I was having my players pack sent to me after having to withdraw from hells cracked open due to an injury (and yall kept half of what I paid for said players pack). Haven't received the players pack or any communication. Should I just chalk this up as being played? Please just tell me what's up.

CALLING ALL A3 CLUB MEMBERS
Tournament of Champions and CTP Extravaganza


A quick reminder to come out and celebrate the conclusion of our disc golf season. The Tournament of Champions is a party for our members and a chance to get together to enjoy all the fun we had. Leagues and members are the backbone of our club. They provide for much of the funding and resources to put on some of the area's best tournaments. We would love to have ALL of you come out and enjoy a party, on the club.

https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/3rd_Annual_A3Disc_Tournament_of_Champions_2023

Here is the day's schedule. Come out and cheer on your league’s champ. Come out and have a beer or two and some pizza. Come out and throw ten bucks into our random draw doubles. Come out and just hang out at Hudson Mills, on a great Saturday afternoon.


Saturday, September 9, 2023
9:00am
- 11:30am
Tournament of Champions - 18 hole of singles
11:00am
- 1:00pm
CTP Extravaganza Drawing and celebration. Drawing at noon.
1:00pm
Random best shot, draw doubles.


Between the champ’s round for our spectacular Bastards Cup and the draw dubs we will be drawing for our CTP Extravaganza. Even if you were not lucky enough to snag a CTP this season, you will want to be here for this drawing. It will be incredible to see our league friends take home some of this cavalcade of prizes. You need to be present, or have contacted the club to assign a representative, to win.

Ok. We're going to try it again, come Hell or highwater. I have seen two different forecasts for Thursday. One with a 55% chance of rain and the other with 20% chance. I can live with the average of the two.

So, to go over it again. Lost and Found Round to benefit North Star Reach is this Thursday, the 24th at Mary Beth Doyle. Tee off, roughly 5:30.

For the $20 entry fee you get a bag and two discs, just like the bigger tournaments. You will get something to drive with and something to putt with. These will be the only discs you can have on the course. Unless you purchase one of the extra drivers we have for $10. There is a one disc purchase limit. You can also purchase Mulligans for the low, low price of One Dollar with a 5 Mulligan limit.

Half of the TWIZBEE Ace Pool is also available at no additional charge. We are hoping that the winner, if any, will make a generous donation back to North Star Reach. Sorry, there will not be a throw-off for the ace pool if an ace is hit.

The winner will receive the 2023 TWIZBEE Lost and Found Round champion's bowl and bragging rights for a year. How can anybody top that?

That's all I have for now. Feel free to reach out with questions, comments or bad jokes. Thanks and I hope to see a lot of you Thursday at MBD.

With pending nasty weather and Mary Beth Doyle's poor water drainage, we have decided to postpone the world famous lost and found round, until next Thursday August 24th at 5:30 pm. This is a very important event to Brad, myself and our club. Thank you for understanding and for your patience I am now preparing some very special CTP's for next weeks soiree.

It looks as if Lost and Found Round Eve is upon us once again. Tomorrow is the big day. Lost and Found Round, 2023 edition to benefit North Star Reach.

For those of you who are new to the Lost and Found Round, we basically have commandeered all the lost discs from A3, put them into bags of two and play a round with only those two discs. But there is more. As I mentioned, your $20 entry fee gets you something to drive with and something to putt with. These would be the only two discs allowed on the course.

But, there is more. We have a box of additional drivers for sale for $10 each. You can purchase as many as you would like, but can only take the ONE additional driver on the course. Since we are playing at Mary Beth Doyle, I don't think you would need more than 2 or 3 discs anyway.

We will also have Mulligans again this year. A buck apiece with a 5 Mulligan limit.

For those Paypallers and Venmoers in the crowd, when you pay, note that this is for the Lost and Found Round. We don't want the North Star Reach money to get lost in A3 club funds.

As an added bonus, half of the TWIZBEE ace pool is in play, hopefully with the understanding that the winner or winners would make a generous donation to North Star Reach. The pool is currently at $455, but we will round up to $230 in the Lost and Found ace pool.

That is all I have. I have to start loading 45 bags of discs into the bag of my car. Might not leave room for much else. Maybe a cooler, I hope. Hope to see a lot of you at MBD tomorrow. Thank you for your support.

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for........THE LOST AND FOUND ROUND, 2023 Edition.

As in the past, the funds raised go to North Star Reach.

As in the past, the cost is $20 for a bag of two random discs which will be the ONLY two discs you can use during the round. Did I say ONLY two discs you can use? oh contrair. Like last year, you can purchase an extra disc from the lost and found archives of A3 Disc to also use during the round for a mere $10 bill. So, you could be using 3 discs, it is totally up to you. Did I mention the money is going to North Star Reach.

But, wait!! There's more!?! Mulligans are making a return! $1.00 apiece with a 5 Mulligan limit.

The date will be August 17. Now, per our schedule, we are to play Bandemer. But let me offer up an alternative. Because of the current and past condition of that course, I propose we change it to Mary Beth Doyle. MBD seems to have been maintained a lot better this year as compared to its cousin on the north side of town. If anybody has any objections, please let me know.

And as always, I could use a few paper bags. I'll start bagging tomorrow, so I'll let you know just how many I may need.

Please let me know if you have questions, comments or bad jokes. Thanks for helping to support North Star Reach.

Hey A3 league members.

Thursday TWIZBEE league is throwing a tournament this week. It is our second annual LOST AND FOUND round. A great time and a terrific cause.

The discs are bagged. There is a box of extras. The Mulligans have been printed. The 2022 Lost and Found Bowl has been acquired. I think we are ready to go!!! $20 gets you a bag and mulligans will be for sale.

The normal TWIZBEE ace pool and CTPs will NOT be in play this week. Instead, if you have a disc or something to throw in as a CTP, we would be more than willing to accept it. There are 18 holes. I might have a couple of items for the CTP pot. For the ace pool, the 2022 TWIZBEE Lost and Found Bowl will be on site. If you want to throw a couple of bucks (or more) into the bowl, we will play for those dollars.

Remember, this is for the kids at North Star Reach and the maintenance of the course they have out there. Check out this camp, A3 has been involved in giving these kids a chance to use disc golf as part of their recovery. https://www.northstarreach.org/

Hope to see you all out at MBD this Thursday. Thanks.

As the season comes winding to a conclusion, we are inviting ALL our A3 club members and league player out to Mary Beth Doyle for a great cause. Brad and I, your TWIZBEE league hosts are throwing another one of our famous bashes. This is a fun event with proceeds going to North Star Reach, an organization providing life-changing camp experiences for children with serious health challenges and their families, free of charge. We are trying to work toward getting a course put in for these kids. https://www.northstarreach.org/about-us/overview/values-mission/ August 12, is the Lost and Found Round. The $20 fundraiser for the course at North Star Reach. The bowl for this years winner is having the finishing touches put on it as we speak. Same as last year. $20.00 gets you a paper bag with two or three discs in it. Those are the only discs you can use for the round. $5.00 of your entry fee goes to a 50/50 ace pool. No ace hit during the round, weelll, that is just more money for the disc golf course at North Star Reach.

I'll try to make this brief.
Thursday is the Lost and Found Round at Hudson Mills, the Original Course. I know I said it would start about 5, but, I have been putting in some extra time at work this week. Sooo, I may be able to get out about 2, which would put me at Hudson Mills about 3, soo, we can start some time after 3.

COVID talk. Hand sanitizer will be available and WILL be used at the check in. You WILL wear your masks. You WILL be socially distant prior to heading out to the course. And after the round.

Last week I announced that there was the opportunity for a double hit on the ace pool. One for TWIZBEE and one for the Lost and Found. Well, two guys last week took one of those pools away from you. I'm. So. Sorry. But, with your $20 entry for the Lost and Found, $5.00 goes into the 50/50 ace pool. So, there's that. The ace pool CTP hole, in the event no one hits an ace, will be hole #3.Yeah, I know. Makin' ya work for it.

It has been confirmed. Discraft is providing vouchers for the top three places. $100.00 for first, $50.00 for second and $25.00 for third. In the event of a tie, guts frisbee at 10 paces with a Destroyer. Nah. Not really. 15 paces. Blindfolded. Oh, we'll figure something out.

The Reverse Raffle is still on. $2.00 gets you 3 chances at the Kestrel disc golf bag and ONE chance to pull a ticket out of the drawing and "lose" it. But not before the number is called and the loser can pull a prize from the Homer Bucket of Goodies. Hopefully everybody goes home a winner.

Did I mention the trophy for first place? There will be a trophy for first place. There. Mentioned.

I'd like to thank everyone who gave us discs they had found or ones they no longer had a use for. Randy "Shide-Arm" Shideler comes to mind for donating 27 discs. That was quite generous. Thank you.

And, I'd like to thank everyone in advance for coming out and supporting our efforts to in an attempt to improve the course at the North Star Reach camp in Pinckney. Check them out at
www.northstarreach.org Hope to see a lot of people on Thursday night. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Groot just got me so excited, I almost wet my pants. I had asked him to see if he could rustle up some prize vouchers for the Lost and Found Round for North Star Reach

He came through, it's kind of his thing. I asked that he get something from somebody, didn't care who, for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Discraft, God love 'em, is sending over some vouchers. I don't want to announce how much they are for until we have them in hand and I can verify the amounts. So, stay tuned.

Did I mention the custom trophy being put together as we speak? It may not be the biggest, but it will be the grandest. In my opinion.

We have enough discs for 45 players. 51 if we count the 6 extra drivers we have. 10 lucky players will get an extra disc in their bag to use during the round. $20 gets you in for the round AND a 50/50 ace pool, also for North Star Reach.

And, the Reverse Raffle. $2.00 gets you three chances at a Kestrel bag and ONE chance to pull a ticket out of the pile BEFORE the drawing for the bag and "lose" it. I just hope you don't pull one of your own tickets out. That, would, suck! Oh, since this is TWIZBEE, if your ticket is "lost", you will still win something. It is TWIZBEE, everybody goes home with something.

We will have an ace pool CTP hole for the Lost and Found Round, in the event no one hits the ace. AND, for those that have played a TWIZBEE round this year, you are also eligible for the TWIZBEE ace pool money, or, at least a percentage of it. As of this writing, it stands at $576.00. 20%, if you don't have your 3 rounds in, is still $115.00. Not bad, not bad.

But, I still need one thing. I need about 30 paper grocery bags. If you have a couple, or more, please try to get them to me. I would appreciate it.

This is an official TWIZBEE round, but, just this once, EVERYBODY IS INVITED, NAY, ENCOURAGED TO PLAY WITH US FOR THE BENEFIT OF NORTH STAR REACH!!!
Hope to see you all on the 27th, Hudson Mills Original, tee off, 5ish or so. Thanks.

ust a quick plug for the TWIZBEE Lost and Found Round on the 27th.

The premise is simple. We have been scouring the countryside in search of lost discs. As of now, we have about 100. For the round, which is a fundraiser for North Star Reach, you pay $20. In return you will receive a bag, two lost and found discs and $5.00 of the entry fee will go to a 50/50 ace pool, with 50% going to North Star Reach. Go ahead and Google this organization, but, please wait until you have read this whole spiel.

We are also working out the details of the reverse raffle. This is something that Groot and I concocted over the weekend in the blistering heat at Independence Lake. For $2.00, you get 3 chances at a Kestrel disc golf bag. That takes care of $1.00. The other dollar gives you the opportunity to pull a ticket from the bin and "lose" it. It could fall on the ground and hide under a foot, it could blow away in the wind or even a crazed Nuthatch could swoop down and whisk it away. But first, we will call out that number, because, being TWIZBEE, we have trinkets. So, to recap, for $2.00, three tickets go in and one comes out. If this works out, I will take full credit. If not, blame Groot.

The round will be at Hudson MIlls, a park large enough to hold tens of players. Course TBD. Possible start time, 5 ish. On August 27th. I'll have more details as to the raffle start time. We could always use more discs and I need paper grocery bags. (what?, you thought you were getting a REAL disc golf bag?!?. Maybe someday, just no that day. thanks for reading.

I want to put in a quick plug for the Lost and Found Round that looks like it is scheduled for August 27th, course TBD. This is a fundraiser for an improved course at North Star Reach (www.northstarreach.org). Please check it out.

You will get two Lost and Found Discs that you will use for the entire round. Could be two putters, two drivers, a mid and a putter, whatever. However, five of the bags will have a bonus disc that can also be used during the round. The cost is $20 and all the money goes to North Star Reach. Might even have a raffle or two. Right now prizes are a work in progress. More details to follow.

With some beautiful weekend weather ahead and several local courses re-opening, we know many players will return to the courses soon. If you do choose to play your home course this weekend, please remember that you are taking on more responsibility than a single round of disc golf.

You represent a community of players, professionals, parks, manufacturers, shop owners, and distributors. Like you, these folks live for disc golf. They represent you on the course just as much as you represent them.

At this stage in the sport’s growth, one person playing disrespectfully can change the way someone views ALL players. Let’s commit to keep this in mind when we head to the course to make sure this sport remains great in the state of Michigan for a long time to come.

Folks. We've got a load of the sickest plastic we've ever had, and we're too impatient not to share. So.

We've created an online shop, and we're releasing a limited number of discs every week for your throwing pleasure. Take a peak and get you some at a3disc.net/shop.

P.S. Your purchase helps out the club right now. Club gets a boost + you get some kickass plastic from our neighbors at Discraft Disc Golf = winning.

Hello everyone,

I know times are tough and a lot of things are uncertain… Not to be biased, but we could all use a great tournament to gather and share! Of course, we don’t know what is going to happen by the time our No Foolin’ Tournament arrives, but we remain hopeful. We’ll continue to keep you updated, and in the meantime, wanted to let you know the options you’ll have as a registered player in our tournament.

If PDGA Sanctioning remains suspended through the tournament dates… we will cancel the tournament and all players will be entitled to the following options:
1. Receive a complete 100% refund of your Registration Fee, Ace Pool, CTP, and raffle entry fees.

OR

2. Receive (by mail) your player pack at wholesale cost ($45.00) with an additional charge of $5.00 for shipping. The remainder of your registration fee will be refunded. If you choose to receive a player pack, we’ll provide you the opportunity to (digitally) select your preferred shirt, hat, and discs.

If national and state restrictions regarding event capacities remain in place… we will reduce the total registration as necessary. Any players that are removed from the tournament will be given the same options as above.

We are tremendously proud of our tournaments and unique player packs that we curate for each event. Our sincere hope is that we have the opportunity to share them with you all!
