???? ???? SODGA WINTER LEAGUE ANNOUNCEMENT! ???? ????
Start Date: Sunday, November 30th — 2:00 PM Shotgun Start!
This will be a 10-week league!

Alright SODGA fam, winter is coming… which means it’s time to thaw out your putters, stretch those questionable hamstrings, and get ready because Winter League is officially BACK — and we’re bringing the classic vibe with it.

That’s right: SHOTGUN STARTS ARE BACK, BABY.
Sundays. 2 PM. Everyone launching at once like a herd of caffeinated reindeer.

### ???? COST TO PLAY

$5 per player each week, broken down as:

$3 → End-of-season league payout
$1 → Ace Pot
$1 → Club (PDGA + sanctioning fees)

---

### ???? CHECK-IN REQUIRED — PLEASE READ

Before every round, everyone must check in so we can:

Collect the weekly $5 league fee
Let you declare PDGA vs. Non-PDGA for that round
Accurately track league points
Properly track the ace pot

Checking in at the start keeps everything smooth, fair, and organized for the whole 10 weeks.

---

### ???? COURSE SELECTION — YOU DECIDE!

Every Monday, a poll will drop in the Southern Ohio Disc Golf Chat.
Voting ends Wednesday at noon, then we post the winning course.

Once a course has been played, it must sit out 2 weeks before returning.
This opens up fun layouts like:

BB 21-hole layout ????
BB Safari ????
Hawk’s Safari ????
ETC 21 layout ????
Maybe even a Farm Safari or Armco Safari ????

---

### ???? WEEKLY CTPs — FREE TO ENTER!

Yep — CTPs are 100% free each week.
Prizes will usually be:

A club stock disc, or
Something fun donated by members

---

### ???? ACE POT HEAT

Week 1 starts at ~$290.
Plus a $100 reserve ace pot sitting in the vault.
This thing will get hit eventually.

---

### ???? PDGA SANCTIONED (…but optional)

Winter League will be PDGA-sanctioned again.
BUT — at the beginning of your round — you can declare to play non-PDGA if you want a casual round.
Either way, your score still counts for league points and end-of-season payout.

---

### ❤️ THE WHY

We’re doing this to bring back the club passion, the classic Sunday vibe, and the fun, flexible layouts that make SODGA so special.

???? Ten weeks. Shotgun starts. Free CTPs. Safari layouts. Big ace pot.
Let’s make Winter League legendary again.

See you November 30th. ❄️????
— Your SODGA Crew
