2020 Season is underway!

What a night we had last night! The amount of members we signed up last night took us by surprise, but everything went smooth - special thanks to Rob and Todd for taking money and handing out the players packs!

Our season typically starts with a preseason which allows us time to consolidate our membership & scoring lists, handle financials, and smooth out the administrative logistics associated with managing 100 players. Please bear with us while we do this on the fly.

What a night we had last night! The amount of members we signed up last night took us by surprise, but everything went smooth - special thanks to Rob and Todd for taking money and handing out the players packs!

Our season typically starts with a preseason which allows us time to consolidate our membership & scoring lists, handle financials, and smooth out the administrative logistics associated with managing 100 players. Please bear with us while we do this on the fly.

You can expect a scoring delay this week while we tend to the aforementioned tasks. Also, I'd like to remind everyone that we won't have points or handicaps computed until week 3 - again due to the lack of preseason. I'll post the week #1 and week #2 scores in the comments section of the league page and on our private Facebook page for scoring transparency. Once we get scores for week #3, I will back fill all scores/points and we'll also start following the overall scoring & point races. Week #7 will be our first glimpse into division based points and scoring.

See below for a few other reminders:

- Please ensure you put first and last names on all scorecards.
- When sending scores via the PDGA app, please send your score as "Share as file" opposed to Share as image. This allows for copy and paste functionality which makes our scoring process much more efficient.
- If you have sent your score digitally, it is not a requirement to submit a paper scorecard.
- If you are not yet a member of our 2020 league Facebook page, please head to the link below and request access. If you were denied access previously, it was because we did not recognize you as an active member...please try again.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1344336768959787/

Thanks again for your understanding while we get things up and running. See you in week #2 - same time, same place, yellow baskets again!

2020 Season Update #2

Hello league members and potential league members!
Wow, what a crazy time we’re in! Today was supposed to be the first day of official league, but yet we’re either stuck in our house or are out on the course concerned about our social impact (or should be). Unprecedented to say the least!

Hello league members and potential league members!
Wow, what a crazy time we’re in! Today was supposed to be the first day of official league, but yet we’re either stuck in our house or are out on the course concerned about our social impact (or should be). Unprecedented to say the least!
We started the year with great intentions of providing league players with a player’s pack upon registration, correcting on our error last year of not having everything ready to go. Little did we know that we would be making an error by fronting this money. Good news: we have players packs!! Bad news: we don’t know when or if we can have a league this year…or tournaments…and, we overcommitted. League players packs – Check; Dunesview Doubles players packs – Check; can we have either – who knows?
So…we’re stuck in this holding pattern. We are waiting for State advice/regulations as well as the same from the PDGA. The league is left waiting...
We are still hopeful to have a league this year and are constructing a reduced league schedule plan with date dependent criteria. We may end up meeting a deadline or point of no return where having a league is not feasible. We hope this isn’t the case but can’t predict what the recommendations will be down the road.
Stay home, stay safe…if you venture out to Shore Acres, please represent disc golf in the State regulatory social distancing manner. We’ve heard of other courses being pulled around the State, which is the last thing we need at Shore Acres…so be smart please.
Stay tuned for more league interactions as we introduce some league engagement activities via social media!
