Week 13

We had 19 show for dubs this past sunday including two new to Sunday dubs at the Rock. Living legend Tom Edwards and first timer Brian D graced us with their presence. Also in attendance was the best female disc golfer I know, KB. J Pro and Service had a killer round coming in at four down and taking home $25 each. Zain and Brian were a close second earning their entry fee back. Steve got the ctp on hole 13 (again) and gave his prize to Bradley. Thanks, you're the man! The Rockburn Branc ... more

The Rockburn Branch Disc Golf Club is being born as we speak. This is a direct result from the support and enthusiasm from all of you who make Sunday dubs a weekly must do. JD has a sweet logo in the works and we are going to have discs and shirts and hats for sale as soon as possible. If you are a Rockburn patriot and you would like to be a part of the RBDGC please let us know. Thanks All

Week 12

Scores were tight at the Rock last Sunday, with only one group finishing over par. It was only right that we would have an epic playoff battle prior to what turned out to be an exciting super bowl. With a 52, team Service/Champ edged out teams BB/Watson and Gary/Bobby by a narrow margin, after several lead changes during regulation. From another group Team Steve/Peyton carded a 52 as well. What happened next will live forever in Rockburn legend. 1st playoff hole is always from 1 tee to 6 basket. ... more

Scores were tight at the Rock last Sunday, with only one group finishing over par. It was only right that we would have an epic playoff battle prior to what turned out to be an exciting super bowl. With a 52, team Service/Champ edged out teams BB/Watson and Gary/Bobby by a narrow margin, after several lead changes during regulation. From another group Team Steve/Peyton carded a 52 as well. What happened next will live forever in Rockburn legend. 1st playoff hole is always from 1 tee to 6 basket. After the drives, both teams had tough looks to score the 3 that would most likely ensure victory. Service/Champ's upshot landed about 60ft away with a small window to drain the 3. Steve/Peyton's second on this hole was a 200ft tomahawk, that seemed to vanish in the clouds, which landed 35ft away from 6c. After Service' put sailed 30ft past the pin Steve and I start to feel like we got it. Then, like a true champion, Champ hits the Robert Meyer sign on the bottom of the basket, giving them the drop in 4. Steve/Peyton watch the winning 3rd shot skip in and out of the basket. Sudden death continues. Next playoff hole is from 8 tee to 9b(over the creek). Service cans an 80 footer for 5 after he and Champ are both wet on their third shots. Steve and I struggle through the woods between 8c and 9's creek. With all the cash on the line I was able to hit a 35 footer for a 5 to tie and keep the battle going. Next up 17 tee to 18 long. Nothing sexy of the tee. After chopping our way through the valley of shame both teams recorded a 5. So there we were after 4 hours of disc golf madness. Should we just split the cash and call it a day? Tell ya what, lets flip to see if we play one more playoff hole. Heads we do one more, tails we end this. Heads it is! Our final playoff hole is 18 tee to 18 long. Service/Champ are still up first. Both of their drives end up down the middle by the opening past the big trees, with decent but not easy upshots. After Steve pulls one to the right, I unleash a monster flick which misses the everything and sets us up for an easy 3 and a last minute W. But wait, Service throws a rare backhand from 200 up the right gap and parks it for an even easier 3. It's a tie and this ends this tale of Rockburn doubles. Thanks again to all who continue to support Rockburn. Ace pot is over 300 bucks. See you next Sunday!

Week 11

15 Rockburners showed up for a snow doubles last Sunday. Only two left with the cash. Team BB and Peyton. Despite a late night spanking Jerry and Pat at shuffleboard Saturday, we found the strength to put together a decent round. Thanks again to everyone who pulled a two dayer at the Rock. The ice bowl kicked a lot of asses as usual, so I know it wasn't easy to wake up Sunday morning to do it all over again. Now thats dedication people.

No ctp contest this week, but some people still donated a buck. Thanks to all who continue to donate. The fund has reached $270. The ace pot has grown to $289. We will start the $3 option this week. Don't be a larry and miss this one. See you Sunday

Week Nine

Congratulations to Waymon and Gary for a solid performance Sunday. They took all the cash with a 2 down dispite the wet conditions. Thats three out of three for Peet. Its too bad you haven't been out more often, you might be leading this thing. Instead it's Peyton in first, Gary in second and my man Travis in third. I'm working on some sweet trophies for the top 10. Jim took the ctp on hole 13 this week. Also like to welcome a couple new heads to Sunday dubs, Spencer and Jordan. B ... more

I'm working on some sweet trophies for the top 10. Jim took the ctp on hole 13 this week. Also like to welcome a couple new heads to Sunday dubs, Spencer and Jordan. Both guys have a good grasp on the sport and should improve quickly playing dubs with experienced locals.

After careful consideration I have decided that the money we have raised, and continue to raise for Rockburn, should initially be used to purchase a new basket. I also believe this basket should be dedicated to DJ. He not only donated the first batch of discs for our ctp contest but more importantly he is also serving our country on active duty in the Army. It's because of people like him that we are able be out there throwing plastic at chains like it means something. What a great way to show our appreciation. We love you brother!

Congrats to Fred for taking the one tag Sunday. He beat some good players out there. Thank God I couldnt stay for the match! See you Sunday...

Week Seven

I would like to welcome Chris, Jason, Lenny and Garrett to Sunday dubs at the Rock. As our attendance continues to grow so does the ace pot. We are now over $200, so the $2 option is on the table. If you pay $2 for the ace pot you will win $200. Our donations have also reached $215. After talking with BB it sounds like the tee signs are getting done soon. We are able to use the donation money for something else. If you have any good ideas as to how to apply the money please let me know. Some g ... more

We are able to use the donation money for something else. If you have any good ideas as to how to apply the money please let me know. Some good ideas so far include: New sleeves for new pin placements, Supplies for a new tee pad on #15, A new basket for #17 to go back and forth between B and C. Dont hesitate to speak up with your ideas.

We had 18 golfers out at the Rock Sunday despite the cold wind. Scores were tight and team Rozzie/Peyton took home the win with a +1 55. Jerry/Jimmie took second with a +2 56. Thanks again everyone. See you next sunday!

Week Six

Another fun Sunday at the Rock. We had 18 players including a few new to Sunday dubs at the Rock. After the round there was a 3 way tie at the top at 4 down. On the first playoff hole(1 tee to 6 basket) Jim and Peyton took home all the cash by carding a 4. Great play today by teams Fish/Brian and Travis/Zain. Big thanks to Pat for the sodas and breakfast.

Week Five

Happy to see so many new faces Sunday. We had a big crowd with 21 contestants. Many thanks go to Larry of Laurel for getting those tags done so quickly. They turned out great and it looks like we may need to order more. On his first visit to Sunday dubs at the Rock, Wayne Zink teamed up with Lol, took home the victory. Glad to see Wayne and Ray at the Rock on a Sunday morning. I know it's no Ptap! Jerry parked 15b, our final hole, to give us the 2 and a tie for second at a 51. All the money ... more

Looks like the first Rockburn tag match went to Jim. I heard it was a tight match. Plan on staying after dubs each week for a match. Thanks again everyone. Ace pot jumps to $175. Ctp donations plus tag donations gives us $157 raised for Rockburn.

Week Four

After 18 holes two teams were tied at -4. Playoffs? Larry the hat, who played schizo, vs. Peyton and Jake. We played 1 tee to 6d. Both teams carded a 5. Final playoff hole was from the road on 6 to 18 long. With a huge gallery L from Laurel parked a thumber on his third shot. This shot would prove to be the winner. Nice work money. Its been fun. Ctp donations plus $5 from Fred puts us at $82 raised for the Rock
