OK - You know I could not let such an event go by without a few more words. Sorry for the multiple emails - browser or grey matter issues. Get comfy or don't let your boss see you reading this, but you really want to read it now before you go out and play a round later ;-)

Only 3 days left and the DGLA Member leaderboard will be locked until next season. Do you have your MDGO State Championship Berth yet?

Ypsi Dubs 2012 Summer League -={Church}=- Sundays

"Wow - what a great day with some great people. Thanks for those who traveled to join in our celebration - All hail the beautiful disc golf league rounds on such a great Michigan day.

You know I seem to have a lot of chats about "What makes a disc golf league fun" or "Why do different players play Leagues" and the answer vary just like the disc golf players themselves but what I do know is that no matter the format, the course layout, or the special activities
the key component that I see in most leagues and especially the most enjoyable ones is the camaraderie of the people who play disc golf. No matter whats skill level, where they are from, new or a regular to the league, they are welcomed and a fun time ensues.

I have to thank everyone who helped Matt, Chris and I out and as normal Ypsi Dubs is really what our players make of it and it is truly a cooperative effort - Thanks to everyone, with special thanks to Jake Schooley and Ken Terrall for managing the pre-round CTP, everyone standing around the reg table helped keep the Wobbly Bucket going and teaching others how to play that game, which Danny Fifer won with 4 out of 5 - Rock Steady Danny, Nice shooting. I think I still owe you a disc.... Ron Howard and Ken Parks on the Hot Dogs, while Chris Gee who could not make it out in time for the round (Pub Crawl ;-) made it out to make sure payouts went smooth and as orderly as they can, as always - Thanks! Chris. We had a CTP on ever hole with a little help from our Friends; Josh Hertler, Ron Howard. Joe Arnet made the Innova Bag a possibility - Thanks Guys. Chris hit Brad up at Original Gravities brewery again and Brad came through again. - Enjoy that Beer & Shirt Mike.
Matt Schooley facilitated some of the most unique CTPs I have ever seen. There was a Table Top Detroit Baseball Sticker (look at the pictures) and he not only made the new Ypsi Dubs logo, so we could give away some cool dri-fit shirts as prototypes for our next order, but added in a special "illlitirit" (www.myspace.com/illlitirithiphop) combo pack, and he also designed the special Ypsi Dubs apparel set that was won by Mike "Skip" Howard. I think there are some pictures on the web that are probably banned or viral by now. Mike - I got a call from Calvin Klein something about a photo shoot.
Now with 53 players registered our optional 100% and 50/50 cash CTPs were just a little bit more special - Yes that means the 100% CTP on Hole #1 was $53 - Nice Shot Sean Manning and 50/50 CTP was $27 snatched up by Ken Parks and the other $27 help with the Hot Dogs, Icy Pops and Watermelon - Double points and it appears a double payout day as well....

Thanks to the Throw Shop for all they do and make available to us players. Helping DGLA offer more options to our members for merch payouts with no overhead on our part - Win - Win.
Also to Gateway for helping DGLA with our Membership disc, a good deal on the Titan Pro basket(s) for our Raffle and offering a great deal to our Michigan Leagues for custom disc orders as small as 50 discs.

So a total of 2702 MiCPS points were earned and awarded at this HLW, amongst the 53 players. With the Max award being 112 points going to Mike Howard and Mike Raley - Nice round guys.

I suspect that this will be beat by some other HLW. The max points caps out at 120 for first but the total points given out could be significant higher based on turnout. Reminder there is a prize for the DGLA Player member who plays the most HLW in the month of June

I would watch for announcements and plan your HLW journeys to maximize your fun. When I look at which will be the largest HLW I have a few stand outs and first in my mind is Kensington - make sure your early to register they probably will max out. That is the last Sunday of the MiCPS Summer 2012:

Sunday July 22, 2012 10:45am Club Kensington 2012 Summer Leagues
www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/Club_Kensington_2012_Summer_Leagues
Kensington Metropark * Double points!

Another one to not miss is the very last HLW of the season, on Saturday July 28 - Local 101 - That could be another perfect storm - of points and pleasure.

Saturday July 28, 2012 12:00pm 101 Summer Dubs
www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/101_Summer_Dubs_2012
Hudson Mills Metropark Double points! *

That is also the last day of the season. Giving the leagues 1 week to get all scores posted and then the winners will be announce. The DGLA Player Members will be awarded their Throw Shop credit and the 9 berths will be awarded.

The basket raffle will take place there abouts - yeah still working on the best venue to pull the luck ticket or tickets. Maybe up at the MDGO Mi State Championships.

OK there is still plenty of other HLWs between now and then and plenty of great Michigan Disc Golf league rounds to be played. So, Thank your league coordinators, Introduce a friend to leagues, and enjoy every round - Peace
