Myles Kimmerly
Myles Kimmerly disc golf course suffered a lot of damage from the huge storm the rolled through Northern Michigan last night. The course is CLOSED until further notice. Leelanau County officials need to assess the damage and make sure the park is safe to use. There are obviously more pressing needs going on out here at the moment, so it may take a while before the course reopens.

Points Series Standings
Our 2014 points series standings have been updated and can be viewed on our website: http://www.northernwatersseries.com/standings.html
Log Lake Open (8/16) will be your final chance to qualify for our end-of-year skins. To qualify, players must play three singles events in the same division. So if you haven't already played two events by now, you cannot qualify for the skins match at Northern Michigan Championship. Better luck next year.

Hello NWS fans!
We are in the process of putting together our series schedule for 2014 and want to know what Northern Michigan courses are your favorite to play tournaments at (and why). With the addition of so many courses to our area, we cannot possibly fit them all into one year's schedule.
Please send any comments/suggestions you have to: [email redacted]

There have been many improvements to Mt McSauba even since the NWS was there this summer - tee improvements, more trees out, sweet signage, and considerably more forgiving pars. We'd love to host another event, and if you want to get really crazy, we could do a 3 day event - River Road & McSauba combo...bring the NORTHERN Waters Series back up North!! ;)

Not sure I understand what you're saying. The minimum added cash for a B-Tier is $500, which is provided by NWS. Right Brain is now adding another $1,500 to bring the total to $2,000 added cash.
