Thanks to everyone for another superb season of disc golf league! We had a record 63 unique players coming out for the action this year.
Bigger turnouts and bigger payouts yielded serious competition, guaranteeing each and every round would be worthy battle.
Extra special thanks to those who went above and beyond to help with the league or the course or both. There are many, but I must name a few in particular:
Bill & Norma Bruce from Breakin Chains --
- For sponsoring our league with over $400 donated towards league prizes and the year end BBQ, plus numerous giveaways throughout the year, including t-shirts and Eric McCabe signed discs!
- Also for an amazing job keeping the fairways grass cut & hosting Muldoon's first big disc events - Trilogy Challenge, Battle of the Aces, and the upcoming Discraft Ace Race on Oct 25th. Stop by their store, there's still time to sign up!
Mark Ravanelle --
- For working with the town to get funding for course projects and dedicating countless hours driving course improvements (new 16 + 17 holes), adding traction to tee pads, building super nice benches, picking up trash, and putting his life on the line in the ongoing war with the bees.
Ryan Metivier --
- For working with Discraft and helping making our dreams of a custom Tickheads discs come true.
Greg Bianco --
- Last but certainly not least. For stepping up this year on a weekly basis, taking on the majority responsibility of running the league
rounds, CTP and Ace Pots, collecting and posting scores every week, calculating stats, and helping with all other league admin and course improvement projects. Well played, Sir.
Now on to the League Finale Results --
Prizes this year totaled a record $585 in cash and $300 in Breakin Chains gift certificates, plus over 20 CTP and Ring of Fire prizes for the final day events!
Prizes included Tickhead stamped discs, Disraft Buzzz and Mantis, Discraft hats, Glow LEDs, Special Event Mako3 and Leopard discs (Thanks for the donation, Dan Nakamoto!), custom designed Honey Dippers (Thanks for the donation, Dave Cianciolo!), and an Eric McCabe signed Mercy (Thanks again, Breakin Chains!).

For anyone who won a prize shown above but missed the league finale day, I (Vijay) am holding your goods and will continue do so until I see you at the course, or you contact me to make arrangements otherwise.
Everyone who stayed until the end of the league finale day did not leave empty handed. All were given an extra Tickhead league glow mini, and a reusable Discraft score card. I still have a bunch extra Tickhead minis, which will be up for grabs during the league opening day next year. Come and get yours!
That's it. But wait, there's more!
Just because the league has come to an end officially does not mean you should stop playing! Everyone is encouraged to continue coming out on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings (soon to be afternoons) to meet up for some casual play. I know I will try to make it as often as I can. Some of the best disc golf weather has just arrived!
See you out there!
