I'll try to make this brief.
Thursday is the Lost and Found Round at Hudson Mills, the Original Course. I know I said it would start about 5, but, I have been putting in some extra time at work this week. Sooo, I may be able to get out about 2, which would put me at Hudson Mills about 3, soo, we can start some time after 3.

COVID talk. Hand sanitizer will be available and WILL be used at the check in. You WILL wear your masks. You WILL be socially distant prior to heading out to the course. And after the round.

Last week I announced that there was the opportunity for a double hit on the ace pool. One for TWIZBEE and one for the Lost and Found. Well, two guys last week took one of those pools away from you. I'm. So. Sorry. But, with your $20 entry for the Lost and Found, $5.00 goes into the 50/50 ace pool. So, there's that. The ace pool CTP hole, in the event no one hits an ace, will be hole #3.Yeah, I know. Makin' ya work for it.

It has been confirmed. Discraft is providing vouchers for the top three places. $100.00 for first, $50.00 for second and $25.00 for third. In the event of a tie, guts frisbee at 10 paces with a Destroyer. Nah. Not really. 15 paces. Blindfolded. Oh, we'll figure something out.

The Reverse Raffle is still on. $2.00 gets you 3 chances at the Kestrel disc golf bag and ONE chance to pull a ticket out of the drawing and "lose" it. But not before the number is called and the loser can pull a prize from the Homer Bucket of Goodies. Hopefully everybody goes home a winner.

Did I mention the trophy for first place? There will be a trophy for first place. There. Mentioned.

I'd like to thank everyone who gave us discs they had found or ones they no longer had a use for. Randy "Shide-Arm" Shideler comes to mind for donating 27 discs. That was quite generous. Thank you.

And, I'd like to thank everyone in advance for coming out and supporting our efforts to in an attempt to improve the course at the North Star Reach camp in Pinckney. Check them out at
www.northstarreach.org Hope to see a lot of people on Thursday night. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Groot just got me so excited, I almost wet my pants. I had asked him to see if he could rustle up some prize vouchers for the Lost and Found Round for North Star Reach

He came through, it's kind of his thing. I asked that he get something from somebody, didn't care who, for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Discraft, God love 'em, is sending over some vouchers. I don't want to announce how much they are for until we have them in hand and I can verify the amounts. So, stay tuned.

Did I mention the custom trophy being put together as we speak? It may not be the biggest, but it will be the grandest. In my opinion.

We have enough discs for 45 players. 51 if we count the 6 extra drivers we have. 10 lucky players will get an extra disc in their bag to use during the round. $20 gets you in for the round AND a 50/50 ace pool, also for North Star Reach.

And, the Reverse Raffle. $2.00 gets you three chances at a Kestrel bag and ONE chance to pull a ticket out of the pile BEFORE the drawing for the bag and "lose" it. I just hope you don't pull one of your own tickets out. That, would, suck! Oh, since this is TWIZBEE, if your ticket is "lost", you will still win something. It is TWIZBEE, everybody goes home with something.

We will have an ace pool CTP hole for the Lost and Found Round, in the event no one hits the ace. AND, for those that have played a TWIZBEE round this year, you are also eligible for the TWIZBEE ace pool money, or, at least a percentage of it. As of this writing, it stands at $576.00. 20%, if you don't have your 3 rounds in, is still $115.00. Not bad, not bad.

But, I still need one thing. I need about 30 paper grocery bags. If you have a couple, or more, please try to get them to me. I would appreciate it.

This is an official TWIZBEE round, but, just this once, EVERYBODY IS INVITED, NAY, ENCOURAGED TO PLAY WITH US FOR THE BENEFIT OF NORTH STAR REACH!!!
Hope to see you all on the 27th, Hudson Mills Original, tee off, 5ish or so. Thanks.

August 27th is rapidly approaching. The Lost and Found round at Hudson Mills. Please see the previous comment for some of the details. Not much has changed. Still $20 for the two discs and a bag. $5.00 of that goes into 50/50 ace pool. Still doing the Reverse Raffle.

We will have an ace pool CTP for this event in case no one hits an ace. I'm thinking hole 17 on the Original course. Also, since this is a TWIZBEE league round that all are invited to, IF you have played with TWIZBE ... more

Also, since this is a TWIZBEE league round that all are invited to, IF you have played with TWIZBEE this year, you are eligible for at least a part of our ace pool which currently stands at about $573. If you have played at least 3 rounds with us, you qualify for 100% of the pot; less than that, 20%. That is still $115.00. Soooo, come on out on the 27th, Hudson Mills and help us raise funds for North Star Reach and their course improvement.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

ust a quick plug for the TWIZBEE Lost and Found Round on the 27th.

The premise is simple. We have been scouring the countryside in search of lost discs. As of now, we have about 100. For the round, which is a fundraiser for North Star Reach, you pay $20. In return you will receive a bag, two lost and found discs and $5.00 of the entry fee will go to a 50/50 ace pool, with 50% going to North Star Reach. Go ahead and Google this organization, but, please wait until you have read this whole spie ... more

Go ahead and Google this organization, but, please wait until you have read this whole spiel.

We are also working out the details of the reverse raffle. This is something that Groot and I concocted over the weekend in the blistering heat at Independence Lake. For $2.00, you get 3 chances at a Kestrel disc golf bag. That takes care of $1.00. The other dollar gives you the opportunity to pull a ticket from the bin and "lose" it. It could fall on the ground and hide under a foot, it could blow away in the wind or even a crazed Nuthatch could swoop down and whisk it away. But first, we will call out that number, because, being TWIZBEE, we have trinkets. So, to recap, for $2.00, three tickets go in and one comes out. If this works out, I will take full credit. If not, blame Groot.

The round will be at Hudson MIlls, a park large enough to hold tens of players. Course TBD. Possible start time, 5 ish. On August 27th. I'll have more details as to the raffle start time. We could always use more discs and I need paper grocery bags. (what?, you thought you were getting a REAL disc golf bag?!?. Maybe someday, just no that day. thanks for reading.

OK, league was washed out last night. Thanks to Ron and Andrew for showing up and giving it a try. The rain simply won. Please rest assured that as Paulie is recovering, we will be running his league for him. Same fun, same course.

Steve Nolff    July 10, 2020 at 6:59pm

Friday Night league is ON. I will be your host for the evening. No way for me to fill Paulie's shoes, but it looks like the rain will hold off. See you out there!!

Shon Baird    July 3, 2020 at 8:19pm

Is it ok if I bring the dog to doubles at the Farmhouse tonight?

Paulie "P-Dawg" Whitmore    July 3, 2020 at 12:46pm

Friday Night is only HOURS away! The Farm House is located at 6580 Park Rd. Take 94 to Zeeb and head South past Meijer. It is a dirt road heading west (turn right). I have Brats, buns and some fixins, but bring yo own beverages.

Tim Gacioch    July 2, 2020 at 11:28pm

Hey y’all! Can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow! Long pants and bug spray suggested, but we got a ton of work done, so we can play all 18 short!

Paulie "P-Dawg" Whitmore    June 22, 2020 at 1:15pm

July 3rd ANNOUNCEMENT!!! We will be having a special event at The Farm House course on Friday, July 3rd. Tim G. will be offering a 9 or 10 hole loop we will go through twice. We will be grilling and enjoying the evening around a fire after. All A3 members (and you can still join) are welcomed!!!

A quick thank you to Ann Arbor Distilling Co. A new league sponsor of A3. They graciously provided all four of our leagues with the official A3 hand sanitizer. They also provided us enough for the No Foolin' Summer Solstice tournament. Please visit the distillery and show your appreciation. 220 FELCH ST.

Week #2 (6/12) we will be playing Whites & Blues. As a reminder you must be an A3 member to participate ($30) which does include a disc and a hat. Pretty kick-ass designs if you ask me.
