Breaking News!

The Upstate DGC Winter League has received support from our friends at Lakeside DGC and the Legends at Lakeside! They have donated funds to ensure we are, "Growing the sport one throw at a time!" Funds will be used to help improve payouts in some of our smaller divisions. Please take the chance to thank them and go play their course, Lakeside DGC in Fair Play, SC.
We are looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday at The Trails!

2 Updates as we head into week 3...

1. The ace pool is up to $79. I expect it to climb above $100 easily at The Trails on Saturday.
2. Some have reached out about signing up early. To be fair to all, sign ups will start Saturday morning. I will not take any reservations before then. I know I have capped this thing at 90, but even if it hits that, it will not happen until close to 9am. Be there early to guarantee a spot.

Week 3 at The Trails!

We are getting ready for Week 3 of the Upstate DGC PDGA Winter League at The Trails in Anderson.

We had 69 people play in week 2, and I expect nearly perfect weather for Saturday which may bring even more out. Due to the very high participation, I have decided to put a cap on the number of players we can have each week at 90 people. I don't expect this number to come out, but I also did not expect as many as we have had either. Registration will be on a first come/first serve basis on t ... more

I don't expect this number to come out, but I also did not expect as many as we have had either. Registration will be on a first come/first serve basis on the day of each event. Please keep the numbers coming. i love so many are taking advantage of this league.

We are changing hole assignment process this week with the goal of not making everyone wait until 845 to know their starting hole. This should lower crowds and let people move towards their starting hole earlier.

Please remember we are using PDGA live scoring as our primary score keeping process. The scorecards we handout are to be used by each group to confirm the liver scoring is correct at the end of the round.

I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday at The Trails. Check in will start at 8 and end at 845. Please don't show up at 8:55 and expect to be placed in a field while the league administrators are trying to pack up league central so they can play as well.

This will make administration easier and let people get their tags and be on their way quicker.

Ratings Update

Congrats to Ben Wolff and Greg Johnston! With the latest ratings update, you have both been promoted to a higher division! Great throwing guys!

Ratings Update Tomorrow

The PDGA updates player ratings tomorrow. FYI...League play results will be sent to PDGA on March 6th for all rounds. This means league rounds will not reflect in your rating until that time. I will evaluate division placements if the ratings update changes a players placement status.

Division Update

Due to their significant performance vs their current rating, you will notice Aaron Groth and Chad Wright Pittman have been moved up. If ratings were recalculated after Saturday's round, both of these guys would be in their new division. Great throwing you guys! Hopefully we have more of this as people take advantage of league play to improve their ratings!
