Monday, October 10th is the last league week for the 2016 season. We averaged around 90 players a week this season so a huge shout out goes to all of the players for supporting the league this season, thank you!
Also, we would not be able to do this without huge sponsorship from Discraft, Innova, Gateway, Dynamic Discs, Latitude, and Westside Discs. These manufacturers provided us with weekly prizes we were glad to give away to you players.
Along with the Motor City Chain Gang CTP on Hole 9, the Brag Tag CTP, and the 50/50 CTP that is going to the Detroit Capuchin Soup Kitchen, we had plenty of free and cash prizes each week to give away.
This year we also had a special weekly prize donated by Damon Evans. Damon provided us with some sweet vintage plastic and we in turn gave one disc away each week to a lucky winner. Thank you Damon.
Also, our league night takes a lot of effort to get everyone through the registration table and on to the course each week. The team at the table always does a great job each week greeting people with smiles on their faces. Then, without any warm-up, they run to their cars to exchange the registration supplies for their disc golf bags to run to their respective holes to play. Dan James, Brady Diller, Nick Cookie, Brandon Dub, Samantha Gilbert, and Steve Brazel - we cannot thank you each week for the dedication you give us. Then following league play, Brady Diller inputs the scores into the spreadsheet (no easy task), posts them online, and emails them to Dan James who in turn prints them for the scoreboard at the park. Its a huge process but they do it seemingly effortlessly.
There are many others who do weekly things making our league night a success. Pat and Gloria Olheiser help with the scorecards, Mike Cook and Amanda Bennett have helped out when asked, Nate Buban has sat in for the Super Pool when Steve Brazel was out, and Mat Stivers brings the nets for holes 4 and 18 each week. Many weeks he has to retrieve hole 4's net before going home.
Our art for this years' Brag Tags and Shirts/Discs was done by Brent Sickel. Brent and his family moved to the dreaded state of Ohio and he will surely be missed. Thank you Brent.
A big shout out to these guys / gals as well.
Finally, the league packages will be at Firefighters on Monday, October 3rd and at the Finale tournament on Saturday the 10th. Once again, Damon Evans has a surprise for all of the league members this year so when you see Damon, give him a big hug for the extra trinket in your 2016 Motor City Chain Gang players package.
See you on Monday or Saturday, or at another disc golf event in the near future.
