Despite the wonderful conditions (except the back 9 teepads) only 1 team shot -16 which was the hot round of the day. Team Jeff held on to win a cool $60, nice work gentlemen!

Hughes park was showing her teeth Sunday as it was the windiest day of the year and perhaps the windiest day in LoC history. 3 teams took home top honors with -14 scores - Zach/Bryan, Todd/Jason, and Jeff/Nick. Nice work gentlemen! The man of the day was Todd Tracy as he nailed a headwind ace on the triple mando #17 for a $61 payday!

There are just 3 weeks remaining in the regular season which means there are several members that have to play each of the remaining weeks to qualify for finals. Here is a breakdown of who is in and how many weeks are needed out of the remaining 3 weeks to qualify:

Greetings to you on this 60 degree day!

This Sunday will be our second wacky Sunday which will be "Alternating Worst Best Beast Bonanza". In other words, holes 1-6 will be played using the alternating shot format holes 7-12 will be played using the worst shot format, and holes 13-18 will be played using the best score format.

I will go into more detail on Sunday to help you understand the rules and quirks.

We were surprised to see 27 players show up this week despite rain! The rain and slippery conditions couldn't keep Scott and Zach from shooting perfect for the first time in LoC history! They took home $62.50 for their efforts on the day and Zach has staked his claim on a portion of the perfect pool. Rian added to the excitement by acing hole #6 for $99! His ace pool earnings alone are enough to lead the money scoring race. Add in his weekly earnings and he has lapped the field earning $208 this season!

Reminder - No league this Sunday 2/7/16 due to Super Bowl

There are 6 weeks left before finals so if you have played 1 week thus far, you can still qualify by playing each of the Sundays remaining.

We had 35 players today which set a new attendance record besting the previous best of 23! The added players showed a strain on the accounting as this time I failed to pay out $10 of the total purse. So those shooting -15 today - Randy, Jason B., Jason R., Nate, Zach, Shane, Ryan, and Todd I will deduct $1 off your next entry to make up for it. I'll also pay back $0.50 to each team to bring your total earnings to what it was supposed to be, $10 and not $7.50.
Congratulations to the 3 teams who won by shooting -16! Rian, Fitz, Rex, Andrew, Jeff, and Lightning. You have tied the hot round for the year and are currently on track to earn the perfect pool (all except for Andrew whom is not a member).

For the first time in League of Champions history, we have a team over par! Yes, we were playing the super mando course, experienced -4 wind chills, 10-15mph winds, and had the pleasure of playing on the back 9 ice pads...but...all 9 other teams managed par or better. Nate and Nick, thanks for being the first to shoot over par!

Wacky Sunday Super Mando Island Gap Triangle Challenge winners today were teams Zach/Jason and Lightning/Rex shooting -9...nice work overcoming the elements and rude play!

Greetings to you. Sunday will feature our first wacky day of disc golf with the Super Mando Island Gap Triangle Challenge. In short, expect some sort of mandatory shot on every hole combined with the encouragement of rude golf. If you take yourself too seriously and don't enjoy a side of fun with your disc golf, we recommend you stay home.

Course conditions:
5-8" of snow
Teepads are shoveled

The wind chill of 3 degrees didn't keep the majority of players away as we tied the league record with 23 players. The course was considerably harder with the wind blowing and cold temperatures. The winning score was -14 shot by Rian and Ezequiel. Rian is a perfect 2 for 2 in wins this year showing that drawing him as a partner (and his blue discs) are a good draw.
A reminder that overall standings represent cash earnings for the league. It is merely bragging rights as what is shown is how much money you've made this year.
Next week will be Super Mando Island Gap Triangle Challenge as our first wacky Sunday!!!

We had a great turnout for the first week with a record 23 players, nice! Brian Fitz got the winter season started right with an ace on hole #4 netting him $23 for his efforts. Rian and Jeff paced the way with a -16 earning them $30 a piece and setting the target for the perfect pool. I read the payout table wrong and accidentally paid out $10 extra for week #1 so I've reduced the added cash for 3/27 by $10 to make up for it.

Reminders: Players have until January 31st to join as a member. Overall standings show how much $$ a player has earned this season.
