Memberships

If you are planning on joining the league and want a sweatshirt, they will be ordered in the beginning of January. You need to pay in full ($25) before they are ordered (by the second week of January). There may be` a couple extra sweatshirts, but the only way to guarantee that you get one is to pay before I order them. You can still join after I order the sweatshirts for $15, but you will only get the disc.

To the ladies...

Just realized that I cant post separate scores for men and women, so your scores are based on the course par from the long pads, Im sorry (It does make you look good though). Also, for the points challenge, Ill have one trophy for the woman with the most points instead of having you guys compete against the men. Yell at me if you have any complaints or suggestions.

PS: We'll move the pad on 14 to a safer spot before winter, let me know where you want it.

Points Challenge

Trying something new this year. You will be awarded points based on your score each week. First place will get twice the amount of points as the number of players that week, and each place after will receive 4 points less. For example, if 20 play, first place will get 40 points, 2nd will get 36, 3rd 32, and so on. The top 3 finishers at the end of the season will get trophies, and possibly other goodies.

Edit: Changed it to increments of 2 so everyone gets some points.

Lost Disc Ruling and League Party

There was a question about this today, so Ill clarify: If you can not find your disc in the snow, the group/card designates where they believe your lie is/should be, and you shoot from said spot with NO penalty. A lost disc in the winter doesnt necessarily mean it was a bad shot, therefore should not be penalized. Doesnt apply when the snow is gone.

One more thing: I am tentatively planning the league party/ doubles tournament for Saturday April 9, with the last league day being March 27. ... more

One more thing: I am tentatively planning the league party/ doubles tournament for Saturday April 9, with the last league day being March 27. All members who have played at least 4 league rounds are invited to play, and bring one guest for the party. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and beverages (soda, beer, water) will be provided for lunch, and Im asking everyone to bring at least one side dish (hot or cold). After we eat there will be prizes for skill shots, jumbo putt, long drive contest, and a horseshoes tourney, along with other prizes for league play. Ill let everyone know if the day changes between now and then.

Tomorrow

League is still on for tomorrow. Pads are all clear (thanks to whoever did the first 12!). Snow is extreme, but its only really deep on 1 and 16-18.. Bring a sled if you have one, it will help carve a trail through the fairways and take a load off your legs. Hope to see a lot of you out there tomorrow.

Next Sunday

Forgot to tell everyone that Im going on vacation and won't be here next Sunday. Brian will be collecting money and what not next week. Same time, same place, same everything. Thanks again for coming out and braving the cold, were growing every week. Ill see you all on the 30th.

Good Start

League is starting out well. Hoping to get more and more members every week. Continue to spread the word please, the more the merrier.
