Winter is Over!!!!!! Ok just the DGLA MiCPS-Winter season is over. I thought I had schedule with Mother Nature but it looks and feels like she still wants to play her Winter game.....
Talking about Playing - it was an amazing season, one that we will be talking about for year to come - Remember the snow that lasted for ever and the number of bitter cold rounds of Winter 2014 and even more amazing is that through it all we had more leagues, more players and more rounds played this winter than ever before - You crazy Die Hard Michigan Disc Golfers - I love it!!!!!!!
MiCPS-W Point Series league - 450 total players
32 participating leagues
Well normally I review a bunch of stats before getting to who won the most points and ultimately who is at the top of the leaderboard. I don't think it will be a big surprise who managed to climb to the top of the leaderboard as he has been there for a long while. So who secure the title of Michigan Disc Golf League Champion for the Winter 2014 season?
Well out of 450 Players throughout the state of Michigan participating in leagues this winter - one stands alone at the top of the leaderboard....
45 rounds recorded
22 Wins - 7 weeks in a row at "Eastside Ace Run Winter League"
1 Ace
All to amass an amazing 953 total points and 1st overall
Congratulations Jay B our 2014 Winter Michigan Disc Golf League Champion
Also amazing seasons for may others to include the next two on the overall leaderboard
#2 Justin Dean 28 rounds and 690 Pts.
#3 Scott Sprow 25 rounds and 655 Pts.
Now Jay B and Scott Sprow are both DGLA Player members and on that leaderbaord they are #1 & #2 and besides receiving the largest payout they both are among the first in the state to secure their Berths to the The Discraft Michigan State Championships Saturday, August 30, 2014 - Sunday, August 31, 2014 Mason County Park · Ludington, MI

No need to go up and compete in the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) Friday, August 29, 2014 Mason County Park · Ludington, MI http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Last_Chance_Qualifier_LCQ_2014
Hopefully you will earn your berth or head up to the last chance qualifier as this event hosted by the MDGO: Michigan Disc Golf Organization (MDGO.Org) is the biggest gathering of Michigan players, and an amazing weekend of disc golf and more. The funniest weekend of Disc Golf ever.
Congrats Jay & Scott - see you guys up in Ludington. I have your berth packages - see you soon.
I have to say in the last few years of watching the stats I have not seen a season dominated in so many categories by one player as this winter. Everyone has to determine what their personal goals are and then how they plan on achieving them. Not everyone can play multiple rounds in a week. Not everyone can make it to the top spot or have the goal to do so. But for those who desire the spot at the top there is a basic formula - Play as many rounds as Possible and Do Well Consistently. Jays stats show he did this very well.
To maximize your fun I suggest getting out to as many different leagues as possible as well. It's great to see friends and make new ones, see new courses and how different clubs run leagues.
You don't have to be a Pro to climb up the leaderboard. You can use me as an example, my spot on the leaderbaord is a result of many fun rounds as often as my family and work will allow which is normally a max of two a week. I get some help from some great double partners - I view the help is more in the form of stress relief and comrade but it also helps with the point total. I enjoy playing with Pros but there is some magic in playing a round with someone new to the sport. I dream of being able to play consistently well but I live for consistently having fun playing no matter what happens - I'm walking on a beautiful Michigan course, throwing plastic with friends and family - and my family grows each year. I still have hopes of getting better but my biggest hope is that I can continue to play and enjoy this sport with all of you for many years to come.
OK in February who are the movers and shakers on the monthly Leaderboards...
Wait - What is this - Jay B is not at the top of a leaderbaord???? Yes I just had to go out and play one more different league to try and top Jay B in this one stat. I wasn't going to reach him on # of rounds, Wins or Points but I could maximize my fun, see some friends and get another league in the month. I also had to break the rules and ask Pete to update the leaderbaord to get a late posted round included in the stats - just so the record would show I bet Jay on this stat. As a reminder the leaderboards lock two days after the last day of the leaderboard period (week or month) and the overall leaderboard locks after 1 week from the last round. and then the Disc Golf Scene Bling - achievements - are awarded and show on your profile page. So league admin please help get the rounds posted so players can get credit for their achievements and as always thanks for all you do to give us all a great way to get out and enjoy this sport in our local area. You guys are the true heroes - Thanks!
Great Month Sam and Jay - I'm always envious of how many leagues you guys play on a regular basis. Good luck this summer - I plan on trying to get to every Michigan league in the MiCPS-Summer at least once - I think we will have some extra awards this summer for reaching the top of these leaderboards - Bring it on....

DGLA: Michigan Cooperative Point Series - Summer 2014
Fifth Annual
http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/DGLA_Michigan_Cooperative_Point_Series_Summer_2014_5th_Annual
16 week State Wide Disc Golf League Point Series
Sunday April 6th 2014 - Saturday July 26th 2014
*********************
May 3rd 2014 Saturday - DGLA Player level registration cut-off and deadline for adding new leagues to the Point series.
*********************
If you want to show your support for DGLA and the state-wide point series while getting a great players package and having a shot at MDGO Michigan State Championship berths you need to register as a DGLA player level member by May 3rd. Less than most tournaments gets you a whole season of fun and some return on your season. All 20 of the Winter DGLA Player members are already in for MiCPS-Summer.
League admin - send me the link to your summer league. The cutoff is earlier than previous years so even if your league starts after April 6th and you play rounds before July 26th create your league and send me the link so I can add it into the MiCPS-Summer before the cutoff.
Get out and enjoy these last few winter rounds - this is the season players will be talking about for the next 50 to 100 years - I'm sure the stories will get more interesting as time goes on - Yeah I played in 5 feet of snow at minus 70 throwing up hill on every hole from the ice - those 7 ft ribbon are a bitch ;-)
Peace -&- Enjoy the Rounds.
