Week 10 was the snowiest of the season and at least a few discs disappeared into the ether. May those fallen soldiers rest in peace until the spring thaw gives them a second chance at flight. Aside from disc casualties, it was a pleasant south central winter day and we had a solid showing of 17 players.

Dan the Goon Man Allen came out with a vengeance and played his classic birdie-a-bunch style. He finished with a bogey-free -10 (unofficially 1004 rated) to take the top prize in A Pool. Isaiah also came out of hibernation and laid down a very solid -8 (977 rated) in spite of two bogeys. To round out the A Pool cash line, Killian and Scott finished at -7 (964 rated).

In B Pool, Wes took the W playing bogey free golf and finished at -4 (925 rated). Loren was hot on his heels but notched a few too many bogeys to match his score. He finished at -3 (912 rated).

In C Pool, Eli was top dog and finished at +3 (834 rated). Matthew returned from his brief hiatus to resume his throne as a C Pool cash shoe in and finished at +5 (808 rated) in spite of at least 1 lost disc.

Here are the final point standings for the top 10 players from this season:
Player Point Total No. of Rounds (7 max)
John DelReal 110 7
Naz Munoz 95 7
Killian Flannery 92 7

Weslee Moon 73 7
Allen Black 72 7
Adam Kiess 66 4
Loren Benedict 64 4
Frank Costales 59 5
Morgan Leeds 58 3

Congrats to everyone on this list for playing some solid winter golf! John, Naz, and Killian - your custom minis to commemorate your podium finishes are in the shop and I'll be finding you in a future league round to give them to ya.

Here are the top cash earners from the league:

To anyone not listed above... Thank you for your donations to the ADGA, PDGA, and your fellow competitors!

The next ADGA Saturday league cycle will be starting up soon! Dan Allen will be managing it, and I'll resume copilot duties. Keep your eyes peeled on the ADGA page for news on a start date. Thanks to all who came out for a FFF3 league round! See you at FFF4!l

Adam was the king of the Goon in Week 9, shooting a -9 (unofficially 969 rated). And to flex on the homies, he threw in 2 bogeys just because nobody was all that close. On his tail were Naz (Adam's fellow B pooler!) as well as Frank and Killian (A poolers). In C Pool, Jeremy kept his cash and attendance streak alive shooting +5 to take the W.

Heading into week 10, this is where things stand in terms of point totals:
1st - 100 points - John DelReal with 6 rounds
2nd - 95 points - Naz Munoz with 7 rounds
3rd - 87 points - Killian Flannery with 7 rounds

It's going to be tough to knock any of those guys off the podium, but perceivably Scott (67 points with 4 rounds) or Adam Kiess (66 points with 4 rounds) could do it if they have a stellar outing and a lot of folks show up... Wes also deserves an honorable mention with his 7 round total of 67 points. We'll see!

There's a lot of fresh snow on the course so we're going to be keeping things simple tomorrow and play our final league round of this series as a standard Goon layout. Bring a shovel and use spotters! Let's try to avoid too many lost discs. A bit of snow is forecast overnight and tomorrow. Get your Venmos in by 10am tomorrow if you want in on the fun!

Hey all, tomorrow is the final week 10 of the first winter session of leagues. Which means we gotta start thinking of setting up sesh 2.

Any opinions out there regarding scheduling? Take a week or three off? Or no break and we keep on trucking.

We could start first weekend of February. That would give us a 3 week break while allowing for the doubles tourney on Jan 31st. But if ya'll wanna throw till ya drop, we can start Jan 17th (no break), or Jan 24th (1 week break).

Week 8 had moderate temps and wind with a dusting of fresh snow. Scores were somewhat mild considering the relatively friendly (for December in AK) conditions.

In A Pool, Frank kept things clean and shot a bogey free -6 (unofficially 975 rated). On his heels were two B Poolers --Adam Kiess who finished at -5 (963 rated), and Wes Moon who shot -4 (951 rated). Elsewhere down the cash list was Sramdaddy who made his money back in A pool, only needing a measly two birds (but no bogeys!) to do so.

In C Pool, Jeremy and Matthew had another battle but this time they came out all square to finish at +3 (865 rated) and split the 5-play C pool pot.

An update on standings:
John DelReal leads with 6 rounds and 100 points
Naz Munoz is in 2nd with 6 rounds and 86 points
Killian Flannery is in 3rd with 6 rounds and 75 points

In the hunt:
Scott Groves with 4 rounds and 67 points
Wes Moon with 6 rounds and 62 points

And of course, Jeremy remains perfect in attendance, hoping to notch his 2nd 100% attendance trophy.

Week 9 is going to be cold so we're going to keep things easy and play a standard round at the Goon. I'll attempt to place folks in 3 packs to expedite pace of play so be sure to show up to your starting hole on time so that your card mates aren't left waiting around to tee off.

Been wondering how it is? It’s great! Looks like someone has been keeping the pads clear of snow. Thanks east side crew. I scraped the ice off. If someone wanted to bring a broom and sweep off the ice dust/debris real quick they’d be perfect bare cement. Not much snow either. None of my discs went completely under.

Also, please report homeless camps when you see em. If we let them go, they’ll grow and we’ll lose the course for a couple years again. There’s a large camp growing to the right of hole 7. Here’s the website.

Week 7 was classico crispy at the Goon. We had 11 players turn up with a solid showing by C Poolers (5 players) compared to more modest A and B fields (3 players each).

Scott kept his hot streak going, throwing a stellar bogey-free -10 (unofficially 1000 rated). Killian was his closest competition and finished -6 (948 rated) with 8 birdies. These boys took all the cash for A Pool.

Naz and Chris had a shootout for 1st place in B Pool with Naz edging out the W to finish at -4 (921 rated) compared to Chris's -3 (908 rated). Chris had 2 more birdies than Naz but threw in a wretched triple bogey on hole 15 (elevated basket for hole 6). I think this is the worst casualty that the elevated basket has caused so far this season.

In C Pool, Jeremy and Eli had a battle which Jeremy narrowly eeked out. Jeremy's steady play ended up as the deciding factor despite Eli carding one more birdie than Jeremy. They finished at +5 (Jeremy) and +6 (Eli).

Hole performance shoutouts:
Scott took the only bird on hole 4 which played +0.56 over par
Killian stole the lone birds on holes 10 and 13 which averaged +0.33 and +0.22 over par
Naz nabbed the only bird on hole 13 which averaged +0.22 over par
Chris notched the lone bird on hole 14 which averaged +0.11 over par

STANDINGS Update:
Now that we have 7 weeks of league on the books, here's where things stand in terms of the overall season title... A reminder that we take the top 7 rounds in terms of points earned for each player and sum them. You earn 1 point for each player that you beat or tie in a given week. Podium finishers earn a commemorative mini to flex about their achievement.

Current Podium Standings:
1st - John DelReal has 100 points with 6 rounds played
2nd - Naz Munoz has 78 points with 5 rounds played
3rd - Killian Flannery has 68 points with 5 rounds played

Players still in the hunt:
Scott Groves has 67 points with 4 rounds played
Morgan Leeds has 58 points with 3 rounds played
Loren Benedict has 54 points with 3 rounds played
Weslee Moon has 52 points with 5 rounds played
Scott Johnson has 51 points with 3 rounds played

And in terms of ULTIMATE PARTICIPATION, one man stands alone this season: Jeremy Lukas. Note that folks who play all 10 weeks of a league season also get a commemorative token. Past winners have included: Naz Munoz (2 timer!), Dan Allen, Allen Black, Morgan Leeds, and Jeremy Lukas.

For Week 8 (tomorrow) we'll be back at the Goon. Looks like we should have some fresh show on the ground so I'll be out there in the AM to shovel pads. Hope to see you out there! Money in by 10am tomorrow if you're planning to play.

We'll be back this Saturday for Week 7 at the Goon! It's going to be a cold one so dress accordingly and expect slippery teepads. The ice melt we've been applying to the pads isnt working well at our current temperatures.

We'll be playing the standard 18-hole layout (yellows then reds). Get your Venmos in by 10am Saturdaybif you want to play and be sure to show up to your holes by 11am so your card mates dont have to dawdle in the cold.

Week 6 was the coldest of this league season. We had a strong A Pool showing while many of our smarter/less disc-addicted B and C Pool players decided to wait this one out. Can't blame em! It was cold and gusty.

The elements didn't seem to bother Beckner. He dropped another heater shooting -11 (unofficially 1009 rated) with no bogeys. Naz in B Pool had the second best round on the day. He matched Beckner in birdies (11!) but threw in two bogeys and one double to finish at -7 (956 rated).

To round out the A Pool cash line there was a 3-way tie of Killian, Sramdaddy, and Purpero at -6 (943 rated). Speaking of Purpero... He cleaned out the meager ace pool this week with what must have been a SPECTACULAR throw to nail hole 10 (1 red). That's the sole ace for that position in Dan and I's tenure as league directors. League aside, I've never even heard of ANY aces on that one. Way to go Anthony!

The other cash winners in B Pool were Britton and Cody who split the 2nd place pot in a 4 player field (quite the drop off from the 11 players who played in B Pool in week 5).

In C Pool, Jeremy and Matt had another battle with Jeremy taking the W comfortably at +3 compared to Matt's +8.

We're taking next week off for sanctioned leagues. Instead, come on out to ADGA's Aces and Antlers event at the Moose Lodge on 12/13! Details here:
https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournament/Aces_and_Antlers_at_the_Moose_Lodge_2025

We'll resume FFF3 with Week 7 on 12/20

It was a lively day out at the Goon. We played the 20-hole layout that Dan invented last year which adds two safari holes: tee of 6 to 7's yellow basket and tee of 8 to 9's yellow basket. These holes were far an away the hardest holes on the day and only saw a single birdie (shoutout to Scott for nabbing 20). Aside from these holes, it was a regular old Goon birdie+ace fest!

First - how about some shoutouts to the acers! Killian and Adam both nabbed aces to split the $159 ace pot. Way to throw Killian (hole 5) and Adam (hole 2)!

In A Pool, Scott took it to the Goon shooting a scorching -15 (unofficially 1029 rated) with zero bogeys. This is the highest rated round of league so far and only the 2nd 1000+ rated round in our 5 weeks to date (Beckner had the other one back in week 2). A few strokes off Scott's mark, but also bogey free was Frank at -11 (981 rated). Behind them were a three pack of A-poolers who had to split the rest of the cash scraps: Morgan, Killian, and Dan at -9 (957 rated). Killian was fine with it since he nabbed the ace. He must have felt charitable after the ace because he went +3 over holes 19 and 20, tying only Weslee at playing those holes the LEAST skillfully of all players on the day.

In B Pool, Naz and Adam battled hard for glory but came out equal at -8 (945 rated). Naz only carded a single bogey to Adam's two, but Adam was much better at throwing aces than Naz. Behind them was Loren at -7 (933 rated), Britton at -5 (909 rated), and Chung + Samm at -4 each (897 rated).

In C Pool, Jeremy and Matt had another battle. So far their league head to head is 2-1-1 with Matt leading. But this time Jeremy came out on top at +6 to take the pool win. Matthew (+7) took the remaining cash scraps, narrowly keeping Eli penniless due to their 1 stroke differential.

Assuming the forecast holds, we'll be back at Davis next week. Hope to see you out there!

Last week our at the annual ADGA Frozen Turkey Tourney we collected over 400 pounds of frozen bird and cured ham, plus we raised $300 in cash for the St. Francis Food Pantry. Thanks to all of you who came out!

In terms of the competition, we awarded trophies for the following ratings based divisions:
RAH Blue [rating <970]
RAD White [rating <935]
RAE Red [rating <900]
RAF Green [rating <850]
RAG Purple [rating <800]

Scott Johnson took the overall W at -5 (984 rated, 59 points above the division cap) and the RAD trophy honors. He did by carding 6 birdies and only one bogey. Two players matched or exceeded his birdy count but nobody got close to his bogey rate. Nice clean playing, Scott!

Pete took the W in RAH and coped his own turkey trophy with a -4 (973 rated, 3 points above the division cap). Pete had the most birdies on the day with 7, but he also carded 3 bogeys.

Craig Maguire took the W in RAF shooting -1 (942 rated, 92 points above the division cap) with 5 birdies. Wowza, get this guy a PDGA number stat!

Loren took the W in RAE shooting +1 (921 rated, 21 points above the division cap) with 4 birdies.

Jeremy Lukas took the W in RAG shooting +10 (827 rated, 27 points above the division cap) with 1 birdie.

Thanks to all those who came out and supported the cause! We hope you come out to another league round! No aces were hit in week 4, so our league ace pot continues to grow!

For Week 5 we'll be playing a 20 hole layout at the Goon. It will be the standard yellows first (for holes 1-9), then reds (for holes 10-18). Holes 19 and 20 will be played as follows:
-Hole 19 plays from the tee pad of hole 6 to the yellow basket of hole 7 (this is a long par 3)
-Hole 20 plays from the tee pad of hole 8 to the yellow basket of hole 9 (this is a par 4)
-Players should play holes 19 and 20 after completing hole 18 (hole 9 to the red basket)

I'll be at the course to explain in the morning if folks have questions. Hope to see you out there!

Just a reminder that week 4 of league is doubling as ADGA's annual Thanksgiving charity tourney. If you're planning to play, please register here: https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournament/2024_Froz ... show more ›

There are still 10 spots left as of this moment and it will likely fill up! Since it is charity event, there will be no payouts but the ace pot will be live with optional pay in. Be sure to read details on the tourney page. Hope to see you at Davis tomorrow AM!

We had our best showing of the winter so far on Week 3 (18 players!) and no wonder, it was a crisp, beautiful, low-wind day.

John kept his podium streak alive and notched another win to boot to take the top prize in A pool with a score of -11 (unofficially 993 rated). Right on his heels were Beckner, Flannery, and Sramek who each finished at -10 (979 rated).

In B Pool, Cody put the hammer down notching a bogey-free -9 (965 rated). Quite a way behind him were Naz, Britton, and Weslee who all fought it out for the other cash spots in B Pool. Naz edged Britton and Weslee by one to take solo 2nd; Britton and Weslee split the T3 position and almost made their member-rate buy in money back.

In C Pool Eli lit it up with a +1 which is a whopping 45 points above his rating. Nice shooting Eli! Matthew Murphy nabbed the other cash spot winning his entry fee back. Matthew has been to league twice and cashed both times (he's up $0.25 overall :D). Way to go Matthew and thanks for coming out to league!

A shoutout is also warranted for Rachel! Rachel is a regular to winter leagues but this was the first time she was a competitor and it was great to see her out there playing some solid disc golf!

In terms of the Goon...
Between all the top five finishers there were a total of 2 birdies over all of their rounds... I will need to institute a few mandos or extra holes in the coming weeks at the Goon to make the course play a bit tougher. As was the case last year, -12 seems to be the threshold of a 1000-rated round at the Goon.

Next week we'll be at Davis for the Frozen Turkey Tourney. If you plan to play, sign up on the tourney page here:
https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournament/2024_Frozen_Turkey_Tourney_2025

DO NOT SEND ME YOUR USUAL VENMO ENTRY FEE FOR WEEK 4! Since week 4 is doubling as a fundraiser tourney, there will be no payouts and the entry fee must be paid via a frozen turkey, a spiral ham, or $20 (paid the morning of the tourney via cash or Venmo). The ace pot will remain active for the tourney and I will be accepting $1 entry fees on the day of the tourney via cash or Venmo. If you don't pay into the ace pot, you will NOT be eligible for the ace pot (unlike a regular league round where everyone is automatically in the ace pot).

Hope to see you out there!

14 souls braved Davis for Week 2. Lord knows how many discs they left out on the course. I left after kicking things off so I can't say what transpired, but I know from tracking scores that it was a bit of a slog.

We were graced by Beckner who blitzed the course in spite of the conditions. He carded 9 birdies and 1 bogey to finish -8 (unofficially 1013 rated) for 1st overall and the A Pool win. On his heels was John DelReal who also carded a bunch of birdies and only 1 bogey to finish -4 (970 rated) and round out the A Pool cash.

Mr. Moon followed a similar game plan, playing clean with only one bogey and 4 birdies (-3, 960 rated) to best his B Pool competitors and take the top cash prize of the day. Loren also stayed in the red, carding a solid -1 (with a whopping 5 birdies!) to earn enough to buy a half gallon of gas after subtracting his entry fee. Rounding out the B Pool cash was newcomer Britton who finished +2.

Jeremy kept his winning streak alive but shared the 1st place honors for C Pool with newcomer Matthew. They finished +11.

Big thanks and props go out to all the league attendees who made it out to league this week in spite of the conditions. Especially Scott and Lyla who we rarely get to see at league in Anchorage, as well as the aforementioned newcomers Britton and Matthew. When yall come out to league in spite of the weather, it keeps Dan and I motivated to keep running this league, so thanks!

Baring a massive warm up/melt event this week, we'll be playing Westchester Lagoon next week. I'll post later this week with the official word. Stay warm until then!

Pete and I cleared most of the pads so we'll be playing the regular red (short) pads then blues (long) pads except for holes 5-7. On the "blues loop" for holes 5-7 we'll play shorts.

There is a lot of fresh soft snow on the course so traction devices, ribbons taped to discs, and frequent spotters are recommended.

Get your money in if you want in on the fun!

A grand total of 15 players pushed through the elements and post-Halloween hangovers to get out to Kincaid for Week 1. Keegan showed the old farts who is boss and took the overall W and top prize in B Pool with his -5. Close on his heels were Tanner (B Pool), John (A Pool), and Osi (A Pool) who all finished at -4. Jeremy dominated C Pool shooting a clean +3. Our other Week 1 cash winners were Rod , Tyler, and the Sr. Haviland.

Week 2 this coming Saturday 11/8 will be at PC. I'll send out another reminder later this week.

Looking ahead to Week 3, our league will double as the annual ADGA Frozen Turkey Tourney and this year we'll be back at Davis Park. To enter the Frozen Turkey Tourney/League Week 3, you won't pay the usual Venmo fee. Instead, players must contribute either a frozen turkey, spiral ham or $20 of cold hard cash the morning of the tourney. These frozen meats and dollar bills will be donated to the St. Frances Food Pantry. There will be no payouts for Week 3; not for the ace pot, and not for top pool winners (we're comping the usual league fees and PDGA sanctioning fees out of the goodness of our hearts). Please try to get out and join in on the fun. The Turkey Tourney is an ADGA classic and always a ton of fun.

We're back baby! Assuming the forecast holds and we stay mostly snow free, we'll be playing Kincaid Ams to Yellows for Week 1. Please review the league rules prior to signing up to play. Things are mostly the same but there are a few minor changes/clarifications.

As a reminder, Dan and I alternate league ownership with every league cycle. This cycle is mine, so please direct all your entry fees/questions to me for the next 10 weeks. Looking forward to seeing y'all out on the course!
