About this league

MKE Spring PDGA Sanctioned League weekly singles. 18 Holes at Madison Park Disc Golf Course. Just $1 to play. Wednesdays, 5:45pm Shotgun Start.

PDGA Sanctioned league means rated rounds and PDGA points to qualify for PDGA events (AM Worlds etc.). I am charging the PDGA minimum $1 and will use the funds to pay the PDGA and Milwaukee County. If you are looking for payouts by division, this is not the league for you. However, if you are looking for a fun time to focus on playing as well as you can with other people and getting some feedback in the form of a rating for your round, this IS the league for you. It will run 8 weeks. You do not need to be a PDGA member to play, but the PDGA will only let you see your rating if you are a member. Regardless, all players and skill levels are welcome, even juniors.

Since we are not playing for money, it is just you against the course and your prior scores with some comradery and hopefully good weather. So, regardless of skill level, come out and have some fun.

CHECK IN:
Where - Hole 1 Madison Park Disc Golf Course, 9800 W. Glendale Ave. Wauwatosa, WI
When: 5:00pm to 5:30pm
Card Assignment: If you have a group, as long as you check-in together I will try and put you together, otherwise I will just assign hole numbers so everyone gets to play with different people.

I will be by hole 1 checking everyone in, taking payment and assigning hole numbers until 5:30 with a shotgun start at 5:45pm. If we need to do Venmo, we can sort it out, but it is just $1 so I am hoping everyone can just do cash. Please try and bring exact change, I would rather have 4 quarters than a $20.

STARTING TIME:
Shotgun start at 5:45pm. Please be there early to check in as I plan to start right at 5:45pm. Since we are following PDGA rules for rated rounds, we can't add people after the round starts.

SCORING:
We will be using the UDisc App for scoring. The free version will work just fine. If you don't have it, you can download it here: https://udisc.com/

DIVISIONS:
While for PDGA purposes the League will just have one division (Advanced), depending on turnout I will call out points winners for the following unofficial "divisions":

900+ Rated Players
800-900 Rated Players
Under 800 Rated Players
Unrated Players

I'll announce the winner each week and announce a league wide Winner based on points earned. If we get such good turn out that the league has covered all of the costs of the league I will buy trophies or do something fun for the winners of each PDGA rating "division."

PARKING:
Park near the basketball Courts and take the path around North and East to Hole 1 (next to the brown building by the path).

NON-LEAGUE PLAYERS:
We do not have exclusive use of the course, so if non-league players are at the course playing a casual round, please let them play through as you can (and encourage them to join us next week, its only $1).

Daily permit or Milwaukee County park's pass is required and not covered in your entry.

Milwaukee County passes are on the honor system, I will not be checking them, so it depends whether the County sends someone out to check passes. However, consider getting one just to support the County and the pretty great job they do in maintaining these courses and hopefully continuing to improve the courses. https://county.milwaukee.gov/EN/Parks/Experience/Sports/Disc-Golf

Finally, please keep in mind that I am not doing this for any profit and I have a day job, so please be cool and patient if you have questions or concerns. I just wanted to have a league where people could compete and get PDGA points and ratings in Milwaukee (and not have a 40 minute drive at $5 a gallon) without having to worry about a buy-in and payouts and funny money etc.
