I wasn't sure how the change in SST (Removing Valley View) in conjunction with offering Saturday Snow Throwers on the South Side (Root River and Valley View) would affect the attendance . . . but here is a little history of this league.

I started in 2012-13 and ran it for 12 weeks from the end of December until the end of March and we had 229 rounds played (19 average).

In 2013-14 we bumped it up to 16 weeks because I had more time to dedicate to running leagues . . . which saw 263 rounds played over 16 weeks (16 average).

This year with 355 rounds played over 16 weeks (22 average) I would say this league has been popular and continues to grow and I look forward to running it again next year.

Thank you to Nick Williams and Tyler Kollias for stepping in and helping out while I was away. I don't remember which day of league Mike Brody stepped in to help for a week so I will thank him here even though it may have been on Saturday.


I do believe I made a mistake in allowing makeup rounds for this league and while the vote was split 1/3rd for cancelling that week of league, one third for keeping the schedule as is, and 1/3rd allowing the one makeup round . . . I made the decision to allow them in order to accommodate the other events in WI rather than pull from the same pool of people and unfortunately . . . it gave an unfair advantage to the people who would have had to chose between league or the event. Other people may have missed earlier weeks but had no opportunity to make up their rounds giving an unfair advantage to some people. While my intentions were good . . . I think it was a mistake and remind me if I ever ask again . . .I WILL NO LONGER ALLOW MAKEUP ROUNDS and I will stick to my schedule regardless of what other events happen around me. I cannot plan 4 months ahead especially when tournaments probably aren't even posted by the time I set my schedule. Some take this league just as serious as a tournament and their dedication to attending over other events should be rewarded . . . ESPECIALLY since I already allow people to drop their four lowest weeks (points). That allows people to pick and choose when they can and cannot attend.


This league raised $355 to be put towards maintenance and improvements at Dretzka, Estabrook, and Dineen through the league fees. In addition to that . . . the mulligans accounted for $310 and half of the un-hit ace pool ($45) came to $355 also going into The Disc Golf Experience Course Development Fund which will be used to get more courses in SE WI. I am hopeful to have a project to put some of this money to good use this year.

So now it is Spring, the weather is supposed to be much nicer tomorrow and the rest of this week . . . My Manic Mondays league kicks off tomorrow at Valley View at 6:00 PM. We are simply waiting for other courses to open up to begin leagues but I will be hosting Humpday Huckers on Wednesdays at Estabrook again this year, Delafield Discers on Thursdays, and I have some helpers who are stepping in to administer some leagues for me. Matt Brody will be running Take Me To The River at Root River on Tuesdays, Someone will be running a league at Sussex on Wednesday nights also for those on the west and north side of town that cannot quite make it to Estabrook, and Tyler Kollias will be running Westside Weekends at Miniwaukan on Saturdays at 10:00 AM for all those who don't have tourneys to play on Saturdays. That league will begin April 25th!

Thank you all for your loyal attendance and I will see you all at another league or tournament soon.
