And, Dr. Mary Jo Sandberg, DDS for being our oral hygiene sponsor on 8-15-19.

Thanks to all who made our first season fun. Planning has begun for next year. We hope to make it even better. See you on the course. Thanks.

First, I would like to thank all that came to play with the TWIZBEEers this year. We thought we would try a different approach to a disc golf league this summer. Basically, try to get you to come out by giving stuff away. Some may call it bribery, some, a madcap adventure. Whatever, we hope you had some fun in the process. I know Basil would have.

Thursday is our last night of the season. We will be at Mary Beth Doyle. And, yes, we will be giving stuff away. There are 18 holes, so, why not, 18 CTPs. We had some left over stuff and some new stuff that my wife sez has to go. Soooo, it is going. There is one limitation. To spread the wealth, we are putting a 2 (two) CTP limit per person. After all, who needs ALL the stuff.

I haven't checked the construction situation in that part of town recently. I know the last time we were there, there was a bit of a roadblock/detour. If someone has an update on the construction, please share with the rest of us. I hope to see a lot of you on Thursday. Thank you.

Party, party, party. End of the season bash is upon us. All A3 league members are invited to come out and celebrate a great league season. We had three leagues running this summer with 104 all time player between the three. To reward all of our players for such a great season, we will be buying some food to chow., handing out league awards and reliving all those great shots. I hope to see everyone that played this season, at the party.

Holy Twizbee!! What a terrific night at Hudson Mills. Congrats to Floyd for knocking out a 4 down to steal the points....and a sweet peace sign Roc3. Jesse hauled in the last A3 CTP Extravaganza token. Man, some awesome prizes awaiting those lucky A3 members at the drawing at Birthday Classic. For those not signed up yet....get in on the action. TWO Discraft baskets and a Kestral bag up for grabs for those of us not skilled (lucky) enough to score a token.

ONE MORE WEEK. Don't miss the end of the season TWIZBEE bash. A monumental avalanche of swag to give away. CTP's of epic proportions. Come help us celebrate our inaugural season. Not to mention the last shot at a small fortune of an ace pool.

Next week.....8/8, TWIZBEE is traveling to Hudson Mills Original 18 from the short tees. Our last CTP extravaganza token will be awarded. 2 berths and packages will be awarded. We will have a 50/50 CTP and a disc CTP as well.

Don't forget that 8/15 will be the TWIZBEE end of the season blowout. Brad will be back and rested from his trip to Fargo and has plans to delight all. A cavalcade of CTP's to make TWIZBEE league members the envy of all disc golfer on the planet.

This week, Bandemer.
This week, two rounds for the white tee pads
This week, Thursday is Spiderman Day.
This week, maximum of two bonus points for anything Spider related carried, worn or thrown during the round.

August 8th.....Berth awarding day. We want to get it presented early enough so the lucky recipient can make arrangements to get to States. The 8th is also Wear Your Mother's Jewelry Day. I won't be there, so, you are on your own as to how you want to handle this one. I'll just wait for the Facebook photos.

ALSO, the 8th is our last night to host the A3 CTP EXTRAVAGANZA. That is also supposed to be our travel night. So on the 1st, we will need to decide where to play on the 8th.

The 15th is our last night. I am working on a scheme for 18 CTPs, all Mystery CTPs, for Mary Beth Doyle. As plans develop, they will be revealed. Hope to see you all Thursday at Bandemer.

Must have been the threat of heat on Thursday. Four intrepid players showed up, Cam, Ben, Jake and Jon. Cam shot 50, Ben 56 and Jon and Jake each shot a 58. And, in keeping with the B&B bonus points for the month. Cam and Ben each picked up 3.

Jake won the A3 CTP EXTRAVAGANZA token and Jon won the CTP disc. But, everybody goes home a winner with TWIZBEE. Ben and Cam did remarkably well with the Vin Diesel BDay trivia contest.

Next week will mark the return of the Mystery CTP with a Hot Dog theme in honor of July being National Hot Dog month. TWIZBEE hosts our next EXTRAVAGANZA token on August 8.

Our ace pool is at $300.00, an all time record for this league. We are at Mary Beth Doyle this coming week. I'm looking for suggestions for holes for the CTPs. There will be two, Mystery and 50/50 Cash CTP. Let's see if we can get more than $10 cash payout in the cash CTP envelope.

See you at MBD on Thursday. Thanks

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate. It is supposed to be a bit on the warm side tomorrow at VINdependence Park. I will be bringing some extra waters, just in case.

And, yes, there will be a short Vin Diesel trivia contest. Nothing too extravagant, not like for Basil. But a contest nonetheless.

We also have an A3 CTP EXTRAVAGANZA token up for grabs tomorrow. I'm thinking hole 7, if I'm thinking correctly. Basket past the big cedar and beyond the ravine. Mid holes, by the way. Original 18.

It will also be a Crazy Larry Burnett day as well. Larry has quite the reputation for picking up trash on the course during a round. Each card will get a trash bag and hopefully, when they come back, there will be some trash in it. Sorry, no prize involved, unless you want the trash. I'm not judging. I don't know what you're into.

It is still Bison and Buffalo month. Wear something, carry something, throw something that will get you extra points.

Now I'm thinking hole 17 for the A3 CTP, mainly so I don't have too far to go to mark the hole.

Good Luck Steve and Groot at Worlds. Do us proud and bring us back a prize. I hope to see the rest of you at VINdy.

Congratulations to TWIZBEE newcomer Chris Eagle for walking away with the A3 CTP Extravaganza token this past Thursday. His drive on hole 9 held up for both rounds. Well done sir, well done.

I want to thank Brett and Diane for bringing the Jiffy blueberry muffins this week, Each of them earned an extra bonus point for that. And thanks to Cam for bringing the B & B wrist bands and stickers so that all of the players could earn extra points.. A true show of compassion and sportsmanship from our leader.

And, last but by no means least, I want to thank Thetford Corporation and their rep, Breeze (going with the more common spelling here) for donating the toilet paper on Thursday, enabling us to have a Crappiest Shot contest on every hole. As I recall, Brett and Diane came out the big winners again.

In honor of Vin Diesel's birthday next week, we will be playing at VINdependence Lake. The name was officially changed earlier this month from Independence Lake to VINdependence Lake just for this occasion. Thank you Pat Majher for all that you did to make the name change happen. You. Rock. We will play the original 18, just to keep in simple. Oh, and I don't know if there will be a Vin Diesel trivia contest or not, but, you never know.

$284 in the ace pool. AND, yet another A3 CTP EXTRAVGANZA token is on the line. And good luck to Steve and Groot as they embark on their quest for a World Championship. Good luck in York. I'll see the rest of you at VINdy.

Tomorrow Night. Bandemer. Two rounds from the White Tees.. A3 CTP Extravaganza hole is No. 9. Free disc CTP---Hole 1.

Don't forget to bring at least a half-batch of Jiffy Blueberry muffins to collect an extra bonus point.

The month long Buffalo/Bison bonus points is still in effect. Wear B&B ware for up to 3 bonus points.

And I hope there will be no rain. Muffins don't do well in the rain. See you tomorrow

And, Jesse wins again, snagging the disc CTP at MBD on the 4th. And, league newcomer, Randy Shideler walked away with a $5.00 bill for winning the 50/50 CTP.

This week we will be at Bandemer for yet another A3 CTP Extravaganza opportunity. I'm thinking two rounds from the white tees. I'll entertain your thoughts on the A3 CTP hole. And, since we don't technically have the tokens, yet, I'll dig into the magic bag of prize stuff and come up with something for the winner to take home. Cuz we all need more stuff. So, for $10 bucks, ace pool, dues and A3 CTP (and some free stuff thrown in too)

It is also National Blueberry Muffin Day. For those that received their box of Jiffy Blueberry Muffin mix last week, bring in at least 6 (six) of those blueberry muffins and get one (1) bonus point.

July 18 is a travel day. There was some consideration given to Indy, maybe just the original 18. Need more of your thoughts on that. It is also Vin Diesel's birthday and I have some thoughts on that.

Hope to see you at Bandemer this Thursday. Steve and I are getting closer on the ace pool count. I just recounted the envelope and I counted $251.00.

Congratulations to Jesse Mullins, the latest A3 CTP Extravaganza token winner. He snagged token #6 on hole 5 at Rolling Hills this past Wednesday. And to Floyd Hampp for winning the disc CTP at Rolling Hills as well.

For this coming week, the Fourth of July, I'd like to propose a change in the time to 11 a.m. at Mary Beth Doyle. Apparently this year we are going to the Manchester fireworks the night before and not going to a parade on the 4th. I can always be Grand Marshall next year. Let me know if this is good for everybody. We do need at least 3 players to make a league round. Also, as added incentive, your Jiffy Blueberry Muffin Mix will be available. And, as double added incentive, it will be the re-scheduled Sunglasses Day. (we should not be bound by the constraints of another's calendar) As we get older, we forget things. And Sunglasses Day was one of those forgotten, only for a short period of time, things.

And, finally, more clarification on the previous post about B&B extra points. Someone suggested that there should be a limit as to the number of bonus points earned a night. After some thought, I would have to agree. That maximum is.................3. So, no matter what the number of B&B items you wear, carry or throw, you will only get three points.

Post here if you are fine with the change in time for the July 4 league time change. It will still be at Mary Beth Doyle. Thanks

Tomorrow night, Rolling Hills. One round from the shorts.

We are also hosting another A3 CTP Extravaganza Token Night. Same as last week, no cash CTP, piggybacking the Mystery CTP with the Extravaganza CTP and a disc CTP that is open to all at no cost. Looking for a little input regarding the hole for the Extravaganza Token. Please feel free to give me your suggestions.

We also have to figure out the schedule for the 4th. Same time or different?
See you tomorrow.

Also, I forgot to mention. If you carry or throw a disc with a Buffalo/Bison on it, that would be worth bonus points as well. And, if you have a plush Buffalo/Bison you have had since you were a kid and picked it up on that family trip to Wyoming, carry it for the whole round to receive even more bonus points.

JULY IS BONUS POINT MONTH!!!
It is also National Bison Month. To that end, we will be offering Bison/Buffalo (B&B) related bonus points.


Like we did for National Bald Eagle Day, we will be offering bonus points for B&B apparel.
You will get one point for each item with a Buffalo or Bison on it that you wear to and play in during a league night. I may bump the points for a Water Buffalo Lodge hat as in the Flintstones. Sorry, a pair of socks only counts as one point.

While putting the league together, I contacted several colleges and universities that have a Bison or a Buffalo as a mascot about donating something, anything, for a CYP or any other sort of give-away. No success. Something about NCAA rules and the like. One school did respond, the other 11 did not. And the one minor league baseball team has been silent as well. Apparently we are too far from their market to consider. Anyway, if you wear something from one of the schools on the following list, you will earn an extra point for a total of TWO points per item. Here goes:
University of Colorado Boulder
Howard University
North Dakota State University
Bucknell
Bethany College
University of Manitoba-Winnipeg
Lipscomb University
Gallaudet University
Oklahoma Baptist University
Nichols College
Milligan College
and the Buffalo Bisons.

So, start scouring the thrift stores, your closet or jump on-line. THE BISON/BUFFALO POINTS BEGIN JULY 4.

We did it!! A night where no rain fell. Hopefully we have turned the corner and there will be nothing but clear skies and sunshine from now on.

Congratulations to Ben Thauland for winning the combined A3 CTP Extravaganza token and TWIZBEE Mystery CTP last night. For those of you keeping track at home, that was Token #4. You can get another chance at a CTP token next week with TWIZBEE at Rolling Hills. Be sure to check the A3 website or Facebook page for other chances to win.

Also, in the belated birthday department, we had a couple of winners in the Basil Rathbone B-Day trivia contest. Floyd Hampp walked away with the win and the snazzy T-shirt. Well done sir. For the runner-up spot, Ben Demory nudged passed Don Bush in sudden death overtime to capture sole possession of second place. (and Don had notes. How about that)

Next week. Rolling Hills. Sun Glasses Day. I'll let you ponder the possibilities. See you next week.

thanks to the 6 intrepid souls who braved the elements to do battle on the wet fields of MBD last night. Yep, I'm getting a little fed up with the rain myself.

For those who did not attend, don't worry. We did celebrate the B-day of Basil Rathbone with chocolate cake and Superman ice cream. Sorry, no leftovers. We did not, however, do the Sherlock Holmes/Basil Rathbone trivia contest. Who knew so many at the league last night were that lactose intolerant. We will conduct the trivia contest next week after our round at Bandemer.

Next Thursday is National Bald Eagle Day. There will be one, and maybe two, Mystery CTPs next week. BONUS. If you have any eagle apparel, whether it be a hat, shirt, shoes, socks or shorts, by all means wear it. Could be bonus league points up for grabs. What about eagle underwear you may ask. Unless you wear them on the OUTSIDE, it doesn't count. No one is going to check if they are on the inside. Just so we're clear.

See you next week at Bandemer.

Next week we will be back at Bandemer and then, possibly Rolling Hills. Also let me know if you want to move the time for the 4th of July round to earlier in the day, in case anyone has picnic or fireworks plans with the family. We would be playing at Mary Beth Doyle again. Let me know when you can. That is it for now.

Welcome to June. A wonderful month indeed. National Accordion Month, National Candy Month, National Frozen Yogurt Month and National Safety Month all claim June as their own. And let us not forget, FIGHT THE FILTHY FLY MONTH.

We would like to welcome a new player to our league, Brian Wilson. No, not that Brian Wilson.

Congratulations to Steve Nolff for winning last weeks Mystery CTP. There will be another Mystery CTP this week and couple more throughout the month. I hope you enjoy them.

I will give you a heads up for the 13th. It is the Birthday of Basil Rathbone. You may want to study up on his life and movie roles. Just sayin'.

I also need to get a group photo of all the Garden Fresh Gourmet corporate winners. So please try to be at Lakeshore on Thursday. See you then. Thanks.

The Mystery CTP will carry over to next week. (sound of hand patting on my back) I won it. Mainly because the group ahead of us didn't mark a shot. And I'M the old one. Since the contents are no Mystery to me, it will be up for grabs next week. Did I mention that May is National Salad Month and yesterday was World Turtle Day. (I should have cut more air holes in that box).

Also, congratulations to New Guy Marty for coming out and joining us for the round. And, by the process of elimination, we determined that he won the Corporate Prize for the week. Nicely done. Marty, we will have that for you next week at Bandemer.

Next week is National Tire Safety Week which for us is a work in progress. But, be safe around tires and we'll see you at Bandemer. Thanks.

Lotta stuff to do tomorrow.
I need to get photos of the two hand puppeteers, Don Bush and Brett Hartshorn. You two will be famous. (maybe)

We will have another Corporate drawing courtesy of Garden Fresh Gourmet in honor of National Salsa Month.

Tomorrow is also WORLD TURTLE DAY!! If you have any turtle/tortoise wear, by all means, please wear it.

AND, we will have another Mystery CTP.

It is also Lucky Penny Day. There will be 250 pennies scattered on the course (if I get there early enough). The person that finds the most pennies will win a wonderful prize courtesy of the MDGO.

Did I mention that May is also National Salad Month? Not sure if I had or not.

And, I would like to thank one of our unsung sponsors this year, Sela Dillon, branch manager at the TCF branch on Carpenter road. When I originally approached her for prizes, I was looking for some nifty sunglasses. Unfortunately, she didn't have any. BUT, she did come through with a pile of other prizes for us. If you get a chance, stop in at her branch and say thanks.

That is all I have for now. The weather, according to my knees, is calling for rain in the morning but a sunny and clear afternoon. It will be a beautiful day for disc golf. See you at MBD.
