End of Summer League results..

First off let me say thank you to everyone! When I first started this league I was expecting maybe 10-15 people max interested in playing in a league at NRC. Not only have the number of people showing exceeded my expectations, but the quality of person as well. Every one of you has been exceptional in attitude and sportsmanship, and it has been an honor getting to know each of you.

Great rounds by a lot of people last night! Eddie with the hot round of 47 (-9) and 4 people, Spencer L, Mark G ... more

Every one of you has been exceptional in attitude and sportsmanship, and it has been an honor getting to know each of you.

Great rounds by a lot of people last night! Eddie with the hot round of 47 (-9) and 4 people, Spencer L, Mark G, Bill and Brian shooting a 49 (-7). Rob hit the CTP on the new basket placement on 13 for a Big Jerm Thunderbird.

On to Bag Tags... first and foremost please remember these are to encourage FRIENDLY competition, all said and done it's just a piece of metal. I passed out tags last night in order of final Summer League stamdings to the people who played last night. Anyone else who wants one please contact me and I will start assigning them in numerical order on a first come basis. These numbers will be changing every week depending on play, so just because you weren't there last night doesn't mean you won't have a chance at getting a top 10 spot at sometime! I'll be posting the rules shortly so everyone knows how Bag Tag challenges work, but basically ( on a 1 on 1 challenge) the higher # (say #20) challenges the lower (say #10). The winner of the round gets the lower # tag, with the eventual goal of getting the #1 tag. Challenges CAN NOT be declined or it is an automatic forfeiture and tags exchanged.

Next week is break week, followed by 10 weeks of Fall League starting on 8/22. We will be playing at the Farm in Livonia due to concrete pads being poured that day at NRC on the back 9! I'll post more on that a little later, because we will need as many volunteers as possible to help. Have a great week off everyone! Oh, and if there are any bag tags exchanged from challenges in the next 2 weeks please let me know who has what number!

Last week of Summer league... and BAG TAGS!

Hey gang, tomorrow is our last night of Summer league, followed by a one week break then starting up Fall league on 8/22. Bring some extra cash, because BAG TAGS ARE IN! And they are sweet! I'm selling them outside of our league, after everyone who wants one gets them, for $15, but because it's YOUR money that went towards them you guys get them for $7! This will help generate some extra money to go towards our league (better CTP discs, end of season prizes, food/drinks etc) and the co ... more

I'll explain our 'bag tag league challenge' rules tomorrow and post them as well.
See everyone tomorrow! Tee off at 6.

Tonight?

Mark G asked me to post that he's looking for people to join in a late round and a glow round tonight, come on up to NorthRidge! I'll get with Markbin a few for tee times.

Kevin “KDawgg” VilleMonte   August 5, 2017 at 11:57am

Week 9 results

Hope everyone had a great time yesterday out at BRATS. Always challenging, but always fun. Looked like there were some great scores as well! After totaling the scorecards I found 1 small error which resulted in a tie for the hot (and I mean HOT) round between Jake B and Eddie with a 57 (-5 according to Terry, I'll see about fixing strokes on discgolfscene), followed closely by Mark G and Jeff with 61s. Dan hit the CTP on hole 6 Blue.

Dan hit the CTP on hole 6 Blue.
Next week will be the last week of Summer league, taking a 1 week break then starting up the Fall league on Aug 15 running until Oct 17. I'll be ordering the bag tags today so hopefully they'll be in before next Tuesday, but if not you can get one when Fall league starts.
In other news, we are 1 small step closer to finishing the update on the NorthRidge course. Yesterday we moved 3 basket placements... Hole 5 has been moved back 160' taking it from 385' to 545', Hole 13 has been moved back and to the right behind the guardian trees going from 184' to 243', and hole 18 has been moved forward away from the playscape area with only the back tee, the front tee will no longer playable. I also added flags on holes 6, 15 and 17 to make the pins more visible from the tees.
See you all next Tuesday at 6!

Week 9

Don't forget, we're at BRATS tonight, 6 pm. Bring your A game because we're playing Blue and White! Terry is expecting us, feel free to show up any time after 3:00. Next week is last week of Summer league. We will once again take a 1 week break then start Fall league on 8/22. Hope all of you not only continue playing but bring a friend to join! Remember, the more, the bigger the Ace pool LOL

Bag tags

Hey everyone! I'm in the process of getting bag tags to help generate some more $ for the league, wondering how many people would be interested? They will cost me around $5/ ea to order, will be selling for $10 however with the $3 you all paid to enter the league would only cost you $7. All the profits will go towards the league (CTP discs, course supplies etc). I've attached a sample from the company I'm getting them from of what they would probably look like in the pictures on this page. Check it out and let me know so I know how many to initially order.

Week 7 results

Thanks everyone for coming out! Welcome to our 3 new players John, William and Ron! William threw the hot round from the longs with a 49, followed by John with a 52. Doug won the CTP Z Thrasher on hole 8.
I had a number of complaints regarding playing from the long tees and tee conditions last night (which as TD I should have walked and evaluated this beforehand), so until the course updates are completed we will play from the short tees. My apologies to everyone for the oversight.

19 people showed last night, 3 did not put in for the Ace pool, so $32 going in making next week's Ace pool $68. Reminder for everyone that the following week, 8/1, we will be playing Terry Calhoun's private BRATS course. Also, our newest member John runs a random draw Doubles league on Thursday evenings, I believe tee off is 5:30, try and make it out if you can! See you all next Tuesday at 6!

Kevin “KDawgg” VilleMonte   July 12, 2017 at 6:26pm

Week 6 results

First off, congratulations Doug White on the 1st Ace of the season on hole 12 this week! Not only did it pay out $205, but the 10 points for the Ace put him in the lead for points on the Leaderboard.
Hot round this week once again goes to Mark G with a 47 (-9) followed by Jeff K with a 49 (-7). Great round guys! Jake B took the CTP on 13 for a LE 30th Anniversary Luster Champion San Marino Roc.
Next week same time, same place, potentially playing longs depending on the wind. See you all Tuesday at 6!

First of all I want to thank all who have messaged me about my father in law. He's still day to day, but the doctors are keeping him in an induced coma until he heals more.
For those who were keeping score please text me the final scores for the round on your card and I'll collect the actual cards next league night.

Which segues me to my final note... it was brought to my attention that next Tuesday is July 4th. Doh! Therefore there will be no league that evening and will extend the Summer league to Aug 8 as the final day. I've updated the schedule page, as well as changed the location for Aug 1, we have been invited back by Terry Calhoun to play his private course BRATS in Ann Arbor! Can't wait!!!
Thanks again everyone, have a great holiday and see you July 11 at 6 pm at NorthRidge!!!

Week 4 results and voting

What a great night for disc golf last night, eh? Anyone like me want to rethrow the first 4 or 5 holes? LOL
Still some pretty good scores considering... Doug and Jeff with a 55 (-1) and Mark G, Jake B and Spencer right behind with a 56 (E). Mark N won the CTP on 11 for the LE Champion Blizzard Teedevil.

So... voting on an alternate course for next week. I'd like to have the votes in no later than Friday night/Saturday morning to give me time to post and notify everyone in the league. O ... more

So... voting on an alternate course for next week. I'd like to have the votes in no later than Friday night/Saturday morning to give me time to post and notify everyone in the league. Our options will be from the "free to enter" courses in the area as many of us don't have the yearly passes for the State and Metroparks. Here are our options...
1: The Gulch
2: Freedom Park
3: Mary Beth Doyle Park
4: Lakeshore (the Ponds)
5: Waterworks
6: Lyon's Den
7: Cass Benton
Results of the vote will be posted Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
See you all next Tuesday 6 pm!!!
Oh, and scores are also posted on the PDGA site, if you want to take a look... http://www.pdga.com/tour/event/32766

Great turnout so far everyone, thanks for coming out. Tee off at 6 tomorrow, original tees except for 3 long. CTP disc is a Discraft Big Z Predator (hole to be determined).

Week 2 results

Great round everyone, especially in our usual NorthRidge disc golf course wind! Hot round once again goes to Marg G with a 53 (-3) with Doug right behind shooting a 52 (-2). CTP disc on hole 15 went to Doug, great toss Doug!
I'll be posting our scores to the PDGA site sometime later today. For those of us playing for ratings I finally got clarification on rating rules. We need 3 propagators to generate a rating for a round, a propagator being a player with a 699+ rating overall (which we h ... more

We need 3 propagators to generate a rating for a round, a propagator being a player with a 699+ rating overall (which we have), but they must also have a total of 8 rated rounds before being considered a propagator, so within the next couple weeks we should have qualified players to do that.

See you all next week at 6 pm!

Kevin “KDawgg” VilleMonte   June 6, 2017 at 4:43pm

Week 2

Ok gang, week 2 tonight, tee off 6 pm. Playing original tees tonight with one exception, hole 3 from alternate tee CTP. See you tonight!

PDGA page

Scores have been uploaded to the PDGA as of this morning.
The PDGA updates the ratings every few weeks, next updated being June 27. As I've never run a sanctioned league before I'm not sure if they will post "unofficial" ratings prior to that, or for non PDGA members, but we'll soon find out. You can check the page weekly to see though...
Pretty sure we have to play at least 3 rounds before ratings are generated.

I updated the league info, there will also be a point system for the 10 weeks, 2 points for participating and 1 additional point for position in the Top 5 leaderboard for each week (5 points for 1st, 4 points for 2nd etc). There will be a prize at the end of the Summer league for the person with the highest points (not sure what yet, cash or merch).
In the next couple weeks I'd like to take a vote to see if most of you would like to travel to a different course for a couple of our nights, and I'll also contact Terry Calhoun to arrange another night at the BRATS private course near the end of the schedule!
Now for some more good news... concrete is in the works in the next week or 2 for the back 9 finally! It will most likely be on a Tuesday, so as soon as I get a date I'll post and if any of you can come out during the day to help that would be great!

See you all next Tuesday at 6pm!
