We hit another record high attendance for this glow league with 29 people this week. I didn't think we would hit a high but a bunch of people showed up just before we headed out to get in on the Glow Throwing fun.

Again no ace was hit so the pot has built up to $78. How awesome would a $100 glow ace be???? I know I want one!

In Open we saw another (-14) as a top score, but this week it was Scott Slauson. TJ Webber maintains a 3 point lead (technically only because he played one more week than Scott. Scott would be in the lead if dropped weeks count) with his (-11). Coming in third was Bob Bawden with his best glow round (-10) in this league. Only one throw behind Bob was Patrick Brah . . . again beating me this week and inching closer to third place overall. I better get that putting issue I have been having figured out if I want to stay ahead of him. Mike Finley (F Bomb) and I (H Bomb) both tied again this week like we did in week 1 for splitting the last cash.

Intermediate saw a record 14 people attend this week. JD Cottrill, one of the founding members of Milwaukee Area Discers (MAD) was excited to be playing for tags tonight and it must have inspired him to keep the lowest tag #2 because he had his best round ever (-11) at VV (Even at night!!!) to take the win this week. Keegan Wenzler had a solid (-9) this week after helping make sales for me and also giving out free candy and water (along with Bob Bawden) to anyone who wanted some. Thanks for that nice gift to the disc golfers at VV tonight guys. Pete (Mohawk Pete for those who know him by that name) Schaumberg ended up in third with his solid (-7) after deciding to come to my league because he wanted to buy a Prometheus. Vince Johnson also had a decent round of (-6) for his first time at one of my leagues in quite a while narrowly escaping the 5 way tie for the last 3 FM spots. Greg Weber, Greg Klein, Josh Davies, Aaron Zittnan, and Nick Williams all had (-5) to split the $10 FM.

A little discussion about divisions and scoring averages . . .Someone with the initials BW has moved back down to Recreational after feeling like he pre-maturely moved up to Intermediate. I normally do not allow this (because I am trying to avoid people moving divisions simply so they can keep "cashing", but he had not been asked to move up after the summer season of leagues, he did so voluntarily despite his scoring average allowing him to keep playing Recreational. He does miss out on the opportunity for those points to transfer which is one downside to moving mid season. He will have his work cut-out if he wants to place in Recreational for the season. If anyone out there has questions eel free to ask me how the divisions are laid out and if you are in an appropriate division. I would be happy to explain how and why I do things. I believe I do what is fair for most people, but if there is a better way to do it, I am all ears.

In Recreational tonight we saw Brian Williams (<---- aforementioned BW) tie with Matt Walczak at (-1) to split the FM this week.

In Women, Jessica Evans returned to league this week and shot a (+8). Newcomer to leagues and even the sport (a few months) Carrie Daubner shot just 2 throws behind Jessica. It looks like the race might be tight each week between these two, Tabatha, and my wife (who was out with a cold this week). Thanks again for coming Haley Ferguson! It is fun to watch kids pick up a sport and show improvement! I hope you have fun with it.

Thanks again everyone . . . see you (or at least see your lights) next week. Same Time 7:00 PM seems to be an appropriate start time. Please vocalize if earlier is better in the coming weeks. I will not move the start time unless it is unanimous that people want the time moved up to 6:45 or 6:30.
