Week #11 Results

So Travis and Ken were paired up again. Apparently their familiarity with one another helped them in the one disc challenge showing us that they are the best casual players of the bunch with a -14. A gang of 4 teams tied for 2nd at -13.

This Sunday is our league finals. If you're not on the qualified list, you won't be able to compete for the week. As for those affected by Easter plans, I apologize for the scheduling conflict.

I may make a couple tweaks for next week's rankings. The numbers are close but not perfect.

Week #9 Results

Despite the wonderful conditions (except the back 9 teepads) only 1 team shot -16 which was the hot round of the day. Team Jeff held on to win a cool $60, nice work gentlemen!

Scott was our lone ace taking half the ace pool $14. Nice shot on #8!

Only 2 weeks of play remain before finals. Here is the breakdown of qualified members and eligible members. There are 12 qualified for 3/27 with 9 more who still have a chance to qualify.

Week #8 Results

Hughes park was showing her teeth Sunday as it was the windiest day of the year and perhaps the windiest day in LoC history. 3 teams took home top honors with -14 scores - Zach/Bryan, Todd/Jason, and Jeff/Nick. Nice work gentlemen! The man of the day was Todd Tracy as he nailed a headwind ace on the triple mando #17 for a $61 payday!

Week #7 Results

Wacky Sunday #2 brought a lot of drama along with a wide variety of scores. Lightning and Dennis navigated their way to the top by posting a -14, very solid considering the difficult format.

We're 7 weeks in and we have 3 members qualified for finals. This list will likely grow in the coming weeks.

Wacky Sunday #2

Greetings to you on this 60 degree day!

This Sunday will be our second wacky Sunday which will be "Alternating Worst Best Beast Bonanza". In other words, holes 1-6 will be played using the alternating shot format holes 7-12 will be played using the worst shot format, and holes 13-18 will be played using the best score format.

I will go into more detail on Sunday to help you understand the rules and quirks.

Week #6 Results

It was cold on Sunday but not cold enough to cool off Zach and Jon's hot round of -15. We had light attendance which could be attributed to all of the Valentine's day romantic plans everyone must have had. There are 5 weeks left before finals...

Added Cash for 3/27 - $372

Week #5 Results

We were surprised to see 27 players show up this week despite rain! The rain and slippery conditions couldn't keep Scott and Zach from shooting perfect for the first time in LoC history! They took home $62.50 for their efforts on the day and Zach has staked his claim on a portion of the perfect pool. Rian added to the excitement by acing hole #6 for $99! His ace pool earnings alone are enough to lead the money scoring race. Add in his weekly earnings and he has lapped the field earning ... more

Week #4 Results

We had 35 players today which set a new attendance record besting the previous best of 23! The added players showed a strain on the accounting as this time I failed to pay out $10 of the total purse. So those shooting -15 today - Randy, Jason B., Jason R., Nate, Zach, Shane, Ryan, and Todd I will deduct $1 off your next entry to make up for it. I'll also pay back $0.50 to each team to bring your total earnings to what it was supposed to be, $10 and not $7.50.

Week #3 Results

For the first time in League of Champions history, we have a team over par! Yes, we were playing the super mando course, experienced -4 wind chills, 10-15mph winds, and had the pleasure of playing on the back 9 ice pads...but...all 9 other teams managed par or better. Nate and Nick, thanks for being the first to shoot over par!

Wacky Sunday #1

Greetings to you. Sunday will feature our first wacky day of disc golf with the Super Mando Island Gap Triangle Challenge. In short, expect some sort of mandatory shot on every hole combined with the encouragement of rude golf. If you take yourself too seriously and don't enjoy a side of fun with your disc golf, we recommend you stay home.

Course conditions:
5-8" of snow
Teepads are shoveled

Week #2 Results

The wind chill of 3 degrees didn't keep the majority of players away as we tied the league record with 23 players. The course was considerably harder with the wind blowing and cold temperatures. The winning score was -14 shot by Rian and Ezequiel. Rian is a perfect 2 for 2 in wins this year showing that drawing him as a partner (and his blue discs) are a good draw.

Week #1 Results

We had a great turnout for the first week with a record 23 players, nice! Brian Fitz got the winter season started right with an ace on hole #4 netting him $23 for his efforts. Rian and Jeff paced the way with a -16 earning them $30 a piece and setting the target for the perfect pool. I read the payout table wrong and accidentally paid out $10 extra for week #1 so I've reduced the added cash for 3/27 by $10 to make up for it.

Saw the baskets planted at rush creek. Already voting up Hughes to "best" status.

Zachary Vaughn   December 18, 2015 at 11:35am

9 more baskets to come and if I get my way, a total redesign. Hoping Hughes stays in the worst status.

Ken DeBoer   December 19, 2015 at 7:55am

Most of the "tee pad" boards are lined up at a 45u00b0 angle to the basket. Pretty sad looking. Redesign, here's to hoping.
