Well, it seems that most people were in favor of the LED tap lights we used this week for league. I will continue to use them this season foiscin In The Dark since they light up the chains better and the light doesn't ever get in your eyes either. I am going to experiment with a way to put two lights on each basket attached to something that can be somewhat secured to ensure these do not get walked off with. I may not get this accomplished by the end of Discin In The Dark, but it could be an improvement that happens for next years glow leagues.
Now for the recap: (Sorry it is late Chad, I know how you look forward to reading these.)
In Open TJ Webber had a hot round of (-13) which is the highest glow round I have heard of . . . I know TJ wasn't a fan of the glow sticks so these lights might have given him more putting confidence! Patrick Brah, who recently moved himself up to Open shot his best round in my leagues (-11) after shooting the same score in his practice round. Nice shooting Patrick . . . and yes . . . you will be getting some cash! Bob Bawden and I followed up with average (-9) rounds to split the last of the cash.
In Intermediate Shane Ferguson had what he believes ties his best round ever (-12). I played with him and when he passed me up on about Hole #8 he rode the momentum to the finish by birdieing 8 of the last 9 holes. It didn't even feel like a competitive round to me, it was just Shane and his daughter out having some fun together, with me tagging along for the round. Nice shooting Shane and thanks for coming. Chad Niezgoda had a great round of (-9) and he was equally excited to hear he had tied my score. Shaun Kirchner and JD Cottrill shot solid rounds of (-7) and Josh Davies, Aaron Zittnan, and Greg Klein are all walking home with a couple $ in funny money for their (-5) rounds.
In Recreational there was a three way tie for the win tonight between Matt Walczak, Mike Wand, and Dave Haecker with rounds of (-3). I do not expect a playoff in glow disc golf leagues, but if the three of you are here next week, you can make that decision together. You would not be playing for any more money than indicated here, just the points for the divisional standings.
In Women tonight we had 3 Women and a young girl. I always enjoy it when a division grows because there are bonds that can be formed by playing with new people. Loriena Harrington (my wife) had her second best glow score but takes home the win this week with her (+12). Jessica Evans was only 1 throw behind Loriena with a (+13). Tabatha is not far behind these two ladies in scores and it looks like any one of these three ladies could win any week. Thank you to Haley Ferguson for also attending the league. She certainly enjoyed the time out on the course with her dad Shane, and I can tell once she learns to keep the disc a little bit flatter she will be throwing 100-150' and shaving double digit throws off her score. I look forward to seeing her progression considering she really only recently got serious about playing more disc golf.
Thanks to all who attended this week, you all helped break this years attendance record for my glow leagues with 28 people playing.
Let There Be Light(s)!!!!
