Well we wrapped up this quick 8 week travelling league tonight. We went 8 weeks on 4 different courses and did not see a single ace . . . so tonight we paid out just under half of the ace pool money by division based on total league attendance.
$5 went to the Women's/Junior division which was won by Shayla Finley . . . who only edged out her brother Jimmy by 3' when we threw to #16 (with the only stipulation being that anything on the pavement or over the snow fencing setup for the ...

We will be wrapping up Travelling Thursday Throwdown tonight at Valley View. This league was my last minute decision to put together a travelling league and I am glad I did it. I thoroughly enjoy competing against people on different courses. It really shows you where your strong suits and weak points are and a lot can be learned from seeing how you play comparatively to other players at each course. The Ace Pool is at $58 going into the night so come try to get a piece of that cash. If noone hi ... more
We had 7 people in attendance and we all looked at each other wondering where everyone else was. Not only was this the smallest group for this league, but I have not seen this few people at Valley View since winter. I believe the high temperatures during the day, school being back in session in some areas, high school tryouts and sports taking precedence over "frolf", Harley Davidson's 110th Anniversary, as well as the fact that Labor Day weekend is upon us all had factors in the ... more
Sorry Shaun . . . that was meant to say NOT too far behind!
We head back to the course I like to wrap up all of my travelling leagues . . . 1 reason is there are restaurants around that can handle our small groups. The other reason is I am always hopeful to clear out the ace pool and Valley View is the best chance to do so. We have hit $51 for this league with no aces in 6 weeks. I expect one in the next 2 weeks at least.
Thanks to all who attended this league . .. it was a last minute decision to squeeze in a quick 8 week league before the glow seaso ...

We had 11 people tonight to beat the previous high attendance of 10. This also happened to be the night where I have raised over $1000 for the GLDGC and other affiliated courses (like Valley view and Miniwaukan). That means people have attended my leagues since I started The Disc Golf Experience with a fall glow league. I am proud to have had that sort of impact in the local scene. Some of those funds have been spent . . . some have not . . . so keep your eyes open on the local courses for impro ... more
I have been watching the scores at Root River Parkway of the Doubles league that plays here on Wednesdays as well as the Singles league that plays here on Mondays. The best Doubles round has been done by multiple partners. Brad Weber and Scott Slauson, Brad Weber and Zac Cobus, Joel Kamoske and ????, Myself and Todd Farnham . . . have all shot (-13). I am sure everyone of these people could agree . . . there was one hole they missed they felt like they should have gotten.
In Singles I have se ...

This week we will be meeting across the street from Hole #14 original at #1 of the Alternate 9. This will allow us to spread out more easily since the normal course will be played Holes #6-11 Original . .. cross the street for holes 5-9 Alternate then 1-4 Alternate finishing with 12-14 original. Any questions give me a call.
OH . . . and be there before 6:30 in possible . . . we will tee off right at 6:30 so do not be late or you will be finishing in the dark!
Well . . . this was our only crack at the original 18 at Dretzka since next week has been voted on (by tonight's players) and we will be playing Hole 6-14 and the alternate 9.
In Open we had one player Todd Farnham (+6). . . who was out to have fun tonight and was trying all sorts of different shots. He played great this weekend at The Silver Cup so we know tonight was not his normal play. I also know first hand that he looks at league differently than he ever has . . . as a way to enjoy ...

Did I forget to mention the 3 way tie at the top of the OPEN division . . . I would like to see the three of you all there the same week to truly settle who is the best open player at VV, RR, Dretzka, and Estabrook!
I always look forward and enjoy your recap of the weeks league rounds! We all definitely appreciate the time you put into them and they are always a lot more fun to read than just a bunch of scores on the board!! I definitely want to stay in intermediate; I feel like everyone in that Division is a s ... more
Week #2 was Estabrook one more time.
Thanks go out to Greg Klein for moving some baskets to change things up, but it seemed to have a negative impact on the scoring for the night.Hard to believe considering last week it was 85 and muggy and this week was maybe 75 with lower humidity.
The Recap:
In Open we had our second 1 player field with Scott Slauson showing up this week. Casey Connors and Scott are in a heated battle for the overall title right now with 1 point a piece. Maybe we will ...

I hope to see some more of you out there this week. We will be at Estabrook again tomorrow and I am hopeful that Greg Klein can get out there to move a few of the baskets. I will try to be there early enough to help him out but it depends upon what time he arrives as I need to be available to check people in.
We had 8 people show up to Estabrook this week in the 90+ degree temperatures.
I know Estabrook might be a bit of a drive for some people and I appreciate the effort to make it to a league that is far away. I am hopeful that we can get better attendance but if 8 is all we get the whole season I am ok with that. I just thoroughly enjoy playing against people on different courses. I enjoy playing Valley View every week trying to always beat my personal bests, but I really enjoy playing differe ...

Please checkin between 5:45 and 6:25. We will start promptly at 6:30 but I may ask 1 group to start immediately following the DOLLS league which usually starts teeing off at 6:15 and would have 3-5 groups of women. I may be there earlier but I most likely will not be selling discs. If you have funny money we can meet up another time or even after league for you to redeem it, but I do not have a permit to sell there and I do not want to offend MadHatter who does have the permit for Estabrook or T ... more
New Latitude and Westside discs along with a few new or restocked items from Dynamic Discs (Biofuzion Truths look awesome) came in along with the First Run Discraft Crank drivers.

New Latitude and Westside discs along with a few new or restocked items from Dynamic Discs (Biofuzion Truths look awesome) came in along with the First Run Discraft Crank drivers. I have a few low cost discs in the Latitude 64 Test Material . . . Diamonds (lightweight), Fuse, and River . . . these are only $6 a piece. The plastic isn't very durable but for $6 it is a great disc to try out or even a great disc to carry for those water holes when you don't want to lose your go to driver.
