The Putnam County Founding Flyers are proud to roll out the schedule for our Winter League: This 8-week series will be a continuation of our fall doubles meetups and will encourage camaraderie and competition while promoting a fun and friendly atmosphere for all ability levels. There are some new additions to the format we are excited about...
This doubles series is FREE to anyone that wants to play. We want to encourage newcomers to join our league and challenge all of our regulars to bring in fresh players in to share our love for the game so we may grow our local disc golf family. Absolutely FREE to all that participate will be a points series that will be based on how teams perform on a weekly basis. Players get one point for attending and one point for each team they beat every week. The top three individuals on the leader-board at the end of the series will be awarded with prizes to be supplied by the Founding Flyers.
Doubles teams will be drawn using two pools so that advanced players are paired with newcomers. In this format, teams are evenly matched and our advanced players can help guide newer players during club rounds. Again, this points series is FREE to all those that participate. For those that want a little more out of the weekly doubles experience, we have several options that will make our league even more fun and interesting. Players may opt to play for free, put in for any of the extras described below, or get in on everything for $5 a session.
ACE FUND: Our ace fund has built up to nearly triple digits and sits at $92 week one.
For $2 per week, players may opt to contribute to the ace fund pay out. Hitting an elusive ace will get the thrower some fresh cash and plenty of bragging rights. Players must have submitted their money to the ace fund prior to teeing off to be eligible for the cash. We have decided to cap the ace fund at $100 and start a secondary fund so that we will have some cash in reserve for when someone hits a hole-in-one. Only if BOTH the weekly fund AND the reserve fund reach $100, we will let the weekly fund go uncapped. Should multiple aces be hit on the same round, players will split only the current fund so our reserve stays in tact.
CTP PRIZES: The Flyers will put together two (2) closest-to-the-pin prizes (CTP's) each week. One will be for prizes and the other for cash. Prizes for our CTP will be provided by the Founding Flyers and will include discs, clothing, pint glasses, accessories, and other disc golf-related items. This CTP winner will get a choice from all the prizes we collect. The weekly cash CTP amount will depend upon how many players come out to our league rounds and contribute to the purse. The cost will be $2 per session ($1 for each CTP). We will pick shorter holes for these prizes so that anyone could win any given round. Again, these side contests are completely optional week-to-week.
THROWING FOR DOLLARS: Finally, we will have a throw-off for dollars following each doubles round. The cost will be $1 and all those that pitch in will get one throw to win the amount collected for the week. The distance will be short enough for a putt-and-approach shot so anyone can take down the pot. Closest to the basket will win but players must hit the bullseye to be eligible for cash. Should no one hit the target area, funds will be donated to the club. All cash collected will go towards future events and course improvements.
Play will be scheduled each Saturday weather permitting. Meet up at 10:00 AM and tee off at 10:30 AM. Schedule is set but is subject to change. Updates will be provided on Disc Golf Scene and Facebook to keep our club informed. To help league administration provide a positive experience for everyone we ask that players show up on time for play, bring exact change, follow the rules of the game to your best of their knowledge, show good sportsmanship on the course, and have as much fun as possible!
