Wow Can 2 points make a difference in a season????
Well the Ypsi Dubs 2016/17 Winter League -={Church}=- has come to a close and Chilly has posted the last round and yes after a possible 12 rounds with best 10 rounds counting it came down to 2 points deciding 1st from 2nd.
With 65 players this season compared to 85 last season. I guess the weather was just to nice this year people had other things to do....
Well lets first look back at last winter:
Overall standings
Player Points
1 Danny Fifer 241
2 Pat Burke 216
3 Tim Gacioch (Jub Jub) 193
4 Sam Hardesty 187
5 Cody Coleman 126
6 Mike Visger 124
7 Chris "Stan" Stanley 104
8 Oid . 102
9 Chilly Chillson 100
10 Foz Miller 92
11 Kyle Decaussin 82
11 Nate Mullins 82
What Danny and Pat at the top pf the leaderboard battling it out for first place. So this is nothing new. Last year Danny beat Pat out by 25 pts and this year Pat beat Danny out by 2 points. Some heavy competition and neither of these two like to give up any points. Now this isn't singles so Luck of the Draw Doubles is a fun yet competitive way to enjoy leagues yet it has extra variables like any given round you could have me as a handicap ;-) - oh we will have fun ;-) but maybe not the course record, although you never know what could happen. So yeah partners from beginner to Pro. But as competitive as these guys are they are true ambassadors to the sport and make every round enjoyable for new and old. Keeping it fun, up beat no matter how many trees try to get in the way and pass along some tips and tricks along the way, all with a smile and making it an enjoyable round. Thanks Guys - another great season.
So after 12 possible rounds here is what played out:
Overall Leaderboard · Danny Fifer's stats
12 rounds recorded
4 - 1st place Wins
No Aces
$270 won
182 total points (2nd overall)
Overall Leaderboard · Pat Burke's stats
11 rounds recorded
6 - 1st place Wins
No Aces
$250 won
184 total points (1st overall)
So Danny took home $20 extra bucks, $270 for the season and got his name on the Ypsi Dubs Plague in the lodge once again.
Pat Burke Took $250 for the season, got his name on the Ypsi Dubs Plague in the lodge and his name will be etched on the Ypsi Dubs Holy Grail that hopefully all of us can sample some holy water out of at the kick off of the Summer season if he'll share ;-)
Congrats Pat Burke our Ypsi Dubs 2016/17 Winter League -={Church}=- CHAMPION.
Oh did I mention they both secured their Berths to the The Discraft Michigan State Championships, Sat-Sun, September 2-3, 2017 at Mason County Park in Ludington, Michigan
B-tier · PDGA sanctioned singles tournament. Yes this all expense paid (by you) trip to the biggest Disc Golf party and competition in the State and normally the largest B - tier in the world and Ypsi Dubs picked up the Berth cost for yeah ;-) I have your berth packages for yeah. Enjoy your new mini Buzzz and commemorative disc.
Also Congrats to the Rooster. in third place with 170 points Robert Dehaan secures his name on the Ypsi Dubs plague in the lodge as well. Nicely done Rob.
Four more berths up for grabs this Summer.
Ok who else challenged the Michigan Winter conditions and not only survived but racked up some amazing points to be listed in the top ten?
Overall standings
Player Points
1 Pat Burke 184
2 Danny Fifer 182
3 Robert Dehaan 170
4 Ben Ciccarelli 152
5 Chilly Chilson 135
6 Mike Visger 131
7 Chris "Stan" Stanley 110
8 Tim Gacioch (Jub Jub) 98
9 Foz Miller 92
9 Michael Frame-O Frame 92
Ok another good example of the how points rack up. Tied at 9th place with 92 points Foz and Frame-O. Foz amassed an amazing 92 points in 10 rounds where Frame-O did it in only 6. But I won the Ypsi Dubs tie breaker given I had 4 extra rounds of Fun with friends ;-) where Frame-O I'm sure was off playing tournaments or someplace those other weeks ;-) Again you don't have to play every week, you don't have to win every time to make the top of the leaderboard but the more you play the more fun you have ;-)
Ok hope to see everyone out for some more great Spring weather golf before we get swarmed by all the casuals and mosquitoes.
Next Sunday -
Ypsi Dubs 2017 Spring Warm-Up -={Church}=- Sundays
2/26/2017 - 4/2/2017
Come out and help clear the new holes so we can have more holes to play and can disburse the players over the summer. Saturdays from 11-3 and Tuesdays from 4:30 - 6:30.
We are about to mark initial tee pads and basket placements on the 6 letter holes near the pond. Come check them out or help put them in and be able to say "I help create these holes" for years to come. Twelve more holes, for a total of 18 new holes, will go in on the north side of the existing holes (1,2,4, & 5) with space for an additional 6 later. We also have a plan to start the Putt Putt course with the 6 temp baskets Rolling has which will not be needed once the extra holes are in. Come make your mark on the future of Rolling Hills Disc Golf, every bit helps make this a reality.
Park's plan is 18 baskets this year and tee pads next year (2018) for Indy and Rolling Hills.
Also a big thanks to Stan for taking on Registration and Chilly for posting the rounds - it's a big help and much appreciated by all. Thanks to Ron, Skip, Cody, Danny, Zack, Mag1c Mike and many others who help out in many ways from Pre-round CTPs, and some course maintenance from time to time. Also everyone who picks up trash or just throws thiers in the cans - THANKS!!!
I'm also excited to see the attention the course is getting from the new Rolling Hills staff. Scott Linn took over recently as head maintenance and I think the recent wood chips is the best this course has ever been covered and boy did it need it with the thaw and resulting mud we had everywhere. They have been on top of all the fallen trees as well and trying to get rid of the water at the path on Hole 6. Brian Machemer <[email redacted]> who has been the park superintendent at Independence Lake Park is now also the superintendent at Rolling Hills and has made these improvements and the new Holes a reality. If you see them on the course or have a chance to provide some positive feedback it will help continue this welcomed attention to the course.
Also a big shout out to Scott Sprow who has taken the Glow at Rolling Hills and kept it alive with two Glow rounds each year which are amazing. Thanks to Scott and the crew at Washentaw Glow.
Well again congrats to everyone who played this season. Great to see so many new players and we look forward to seeing some more Ypsi Dubs family members who have been away, out on the course soon. The summer rounds bring everyone out so get ready for a big family reunion and some great Disc Golf in the Hills.
Peace and Enjoy the Rounds
