Tonight was the ace pool playoff round for the Bryan doubles league, and some familiar faces returned to throw for dough after some time away. Coming into the evening, the pool money stood at $140, and two more players bought in prior to the round to bring it to $160. This proved to be quite fortunate. Weather conditions the last few days allowed much of the course to dry considerably except for the swamp around baskets one and eight. Hopefully, this trend continues so we can enjoy our round ... more

The evening breeze was strong at times tonight, and brief sprinkles were seen as round fifteen of the Bryan doubles league went off with the players making their last stabs at the ace pool money before next week's winners-take-all playoff. James Zimmerman joined in for his first time with the doubles league and played A-Tier to establish himself in the statistics.
The round was carried by Bret Stopher and Brian Taylor, carding a 43 to take home the $30 top prize. Larry Smith and James ...

Keep your fingers crossed that we don't get any more rain today. The course is plenty wet as is. Doubles league tonight at Recreation Park in Bryan. Draw for partners at 6:15, play begins at 6:30.
Doubles tonight, rain or shine. Draw for partners at 6:15 PM. Call me at 419-344-1655 if you will cut it close.
Just wanted to clarify that July 14th is the final day to win the Ace Pool money. If it's not won that night it will be played for on the 21st for a $10 buy in if you haven't already paid for the ace pool.
If the ace pool has not been won prior to July 21, this is how that round will go. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-MO1WKNE21tUXhUbjlrbG5lU3c/view?usp=sharing
Is anyone else curious about what it might be like to play on a firm, dry surface again? After one of the rainiest single days in recent memory on Saturday, the Recreation Park DGC was spongy, to put it mildly, for the June 30 round of the Flyerz doubles league. Eight players squished their way through the course tonight, braving the swampy conditions. Scott McCullough was able to participate this evening thanks to a fortunately-timed break in his work schedule and played in the A-tier for hi ... more
I'm really hoping that the rain stops in time for league tonight. It's going to be wet out there, as you can imagine. Please prepare appropriately. If you are going to be late arriving, please let me know at 419-344-1655. If you aren't there by 6:15, we'll start the draw without you.
It's been a long time since one could say this, but the weather was nigh perfect tonight for the June 23 round of the Fountain City Flyerz Tuesday night doubles league. Eight players took to the course, and we were putting today, indeed.
John Broering and Larry Smith carded a 43 for first place and $30 in prize money. Nathan Opdycke and John Ryan took second with a 47, and Alex Czech & Nick Witter and Brian Barclay & Ben Wonders tied for third place at 48 strokes.

The rain gave way to pleasant weather for the June 16 round of the Flyerz Doubles League, and eight players showed up to compete on the soggy marshland that is currently the Recreation Park DGC. Larry Smith, a newcomer to the Bryan area, joined in the fun for the first time this year and played in the A tier for the round.
Winning the night with a score of 46 were Nathan Opdycke and Louis Salinas, and they grabbed $30 for their effort. Second were John Ryan and Bret Stopher with a 49 for $1 ...

Still planning to play as of now. The course is going to be wet. There's no doubt about it. There is, however, no additional rain in the forecast for this evening, so we should only have to worry about the water that's already on the ground. I will update here and on the Facebook page, if necessary, with any changes in the schedule.
Eight players geared up for the June 9 round of the Flyerz Doubles League. The weather was warm and pleasant allowing for some excellent scores.
Nathan Opdycke and Johnathon Ryan were paired together for the round and shot well, recording a 43 to capture first place and take home $30. Brian Barclay and Nick Witter turned in a 44, good for second place and a $10 prize. Other scores were Brian Taylor and Ben Wonders at 46 and John Broering and Bret Stopher at 47.
Nobody finished a hole in ...

I hope to see everyone out there tonight.
To clarify my earlier post, we will meet at the park at the normal time this evening and see what the radar shows. If the consensus of the group is that we can play safely, then we will give it a run. If not, we'll postpone and append another week to the schedule.
I'll be looking at the weather today as there is potential for thunderstorms. We won't cancel league for rain, but we may delay if there is a hole in the radar that looks like a round will fit into. If we're looking at solid severe weather for the evening, though, we'll try again next week and extend the season. Stay tuned.
Participation in this league now contributes to point totals for the DGLA Ohio Cooperative Points Series. This changes nothing about the way we do things, but it's pretty cool if you are into that. Have a great day.
I have just had a look at the latest forecast for this evening, and it looks like we will try to get the doubles league round in. I'm seeing that the precipitation chance is going to be way down by the time we should be starting, so it's worth a shot. See you there, hopefully.
thanks. i will try to join you soon. was thinking about today, but again questionable weather
I'm starting to think we're cursed. LOL. We trudge on, though.
Doubles league may be postponed this evening. If thunderstorms stay away, we're on. I will play in the rain, but there is a safety issue with flying electricity, however slight the chance, that I am unwilling to take. Stay tuned for more information.
Play begins at 6:15 PM. Hope to see everyone there.
Now that the first two weeks of league are in the books, we will be dividing the group into A and B tiers. A and B players will be paired with one another to give everyone a chance at cashing. A fuller explanation of this is available in the rules posted on the Google Doc.
The rules have been amended to reflect what will happen if a player withdraws from a round after play begins. Check here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IotgjOHBA8BZt-e3KlJkWW2JFAmLEHOJDzNZ_7WpWvc/pub
For the first week, I'd like to have everyone meet at the course map by hole one at 6:00 to go over the rules and get signed in. We will begin play as close to 6:30 as possible, which will be the goal every week, so late arrivals are heartily encouraged to contact someone (preferably me) to let me know you're on the way. As the season moves on, daylight will be more plentiful, so it won't be such an issue.
