The kids' league that I run (UnderAgeDrivers) is wrapping up on June 15th with our finale. We will be handing out league prizes and running ctp's, longest drive, longest putt, jumbo toss, raffle, etc. While the players do pay $1 each week and that will be spent on prizes/lunch/awards, I need some non-dx donations to offer as additional prizes! If used and inked please make sure it is not offensive! I promise that all donations will end up in the hands of a UAD player. Thanks

Good afternoon. I could use some help. I work at a local smoke shop called BDTs in Utica. We just started to carry the Z line of Discraft and some putters. We are going to carry the full line if we do good on selling them. We are looking to maybe go to events and sell some disks. Is there someone I could talk to about vending at one of the events. Im sure we could always work out some prizes if the tournament we were vending at let us vend. Let me know. Please and Thank you. Im not trying to sell space on your site I would just like some help on where to start
For sure. John Minicici is who you need to talk to but he will be busy running he Discraft Great Lakes Open this weekend
^ then he's tied up with the USA DGC which happens the weekend of Jun 7-9. These are major events, so if he doesn't reply to you promptly, it's not because he's being rude. You just happened to catch him at the worst possible time. I can't speak for him and or the chain ... more

I'm looking for a " focus " with the march mud fest stamp on it. I would like to buy it. Message me if you have one for sale.
i have a challanger with the march mudfest stamp. Never been thrown and I wouldn't mind getting rid of it at all

Hey all, lost a red/yellow pro valk at FF and it is extremely valuable to me. It was a biffed throw that I forgot to pick up. if anyone sees it my name and number is on it i'm offering a 20$ reward. double the reward if I get the name of the person carrying it
hole 17? my buddy jason Phillips found a red disc I believe. check FF course page. pretty sure that's what's up.
mike "jewphish" cole May 7, 2013 at 8:13pm
Hey folks lost a surge on hole 4 it was getting dark it hit a tree and none of us could find it. Name and number is on it REWARD IF FOUND.
I found a reddish orange discraft driver on 17s fairway. no name or number... it's not a surge tho mike. if you or anyone knows who's it mite be i'd like to return it. just tell me what mold you lost and it's going back in your bag.
not sure if I hear of anyone looking for it ill let you know. how did the tag throw off go.
mike got bounced after a few holes but kevin and I shot 14 threw 18 and I hit top of basket to give him the win.

Hey MCCG, Are there any random flip doubles weekend leagues in the metro area? I checked the league listings but didn't see anything. Thanks, Jeff D
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.
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.
John Minicuci April 20, 2013 at 7:19pm
Heading to Firefighters around noon today to spread some mulch. Shouldn't take too long but could always use more help!

I'm getting really frustrated with this league. It used to be a ton of fun but now its getting to be unbearable between holes. I know youve mentioned that cards should be no bigger than 6 people. It didn't work just mentioning it. It's not difficult to play with 5 other people. Im sure I'm not the only person who doesn't like waiting for 2 or 3 or even 4 groups to tee off in front of me before my card gets to. I saw at least 5 groups of 8 or more people and its getting t ... more
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.
Believe, me.. I know about party control. I get that it's crazy, but mostly fun crazy! I'll be talking to John soon.
Ben Jackson April 13, 2013 at 4:20am
Anyone win the lottery yet? I just looked up the numbers and lost... At least I still have 18 more chances!
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.

This is the last week for the Basket Alignment Fundraiser. If you have any tickets left please do your best to sell them. With all of the tickets that I have collected money for so far we are still below the break even point. If you have not contacted me already please shoot me a message so we can make arrangements to meet up once your tickets are sold.
i tryed for the 666 ticket but it was gone already ..........
John Minicuci March 14, 2013 at 10:51pm
Registration is now open. Please visit www.GreatLakesOpen.org for more info.
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.
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!
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!
Question could you use a few more discs for donations. I'm sure we could donate maybe 5 discs from BDTs. Let me know and I can bring them the day of or someone can pick them up
That would be sweet! I am not sure where to pick them up at. So let me know when and where and perhaps I can. Otherwise I will be at Raintree about 9:15 Saturday morning. Thanks!
I will be at our utica store on Thur and our Roseville store on Fri. BDT Utica is at 7770 auburn road. Downtown utica next to the Locker room. The Roseville store is 27419 Gratiot about a quarter mile north of 696 on the west side. If I dont see you either day I will just drop them off on Saturday morning
