Excited to announce the opening of the new 12 hole addition to the Red Hawk (Chuck D.) course. Sleeves are poured and baskets should be going in the ground sometime next week. Teepads will be temporary as we tweak them over the course of the next year. The plan as of now is to get permanent concrete poured in spring/summer 2018. There will be temporary directional signage placed, but no hole signage until permanent pads go in.

We've been working closely with the park staff since February on the design. We encountered a few delays, but are glad to be finally opening these up. The park staff worked very hard to get these in before the end of the year. Big shout out to Thomas and JT at the park for all their work.

Now that there are 36 holes, we have several options for course directional flow including a few options for two 18 hole course layouts. There have been no final decisions made. As of now, the loop extends from after current Hole 2 and returns back to before Hole 3.

If you have any feedback, I'd be glad to hear it. Feel free to reach out with your comments/concerns. Hope you enjoy the new holes as much as we do.

Big shout out to everyone who came out yesterday. Congrats to all the division winners and berth winners! Glad you guys came out and got to enjoy the new holes on a great day for golf. If your scor ... show more ›

Big shout out to everyone who came out yesterday. Congrats to all the division winners and berth winners! Glad you guys came out and got to enjoy the new holes on a great day for golf.

If your scores didn't link to your DGS profile, send me your email address and I'll make sure it gets the proper hook ups.

Pics will be up tomorrow. Thanks again!

The park will have the final pin placements on the newly opened #13 and #16 in the ground by the end of the week. With that being said, we will be playing two rounds of 24 holes!! The course is looking great and The 101 is excited to get back out and host another fun event!

Please come prepared and remember that we are NOT offering a lunch option this year. There are a few places close by to grab some grub between rounds, but the pickins are slim. So come prepared. The park MIGHT have concessions open, but not 101% on that.

We'll have tons of CTP swag for ams, 5 MDGO State Finals Berths, a $5 Ace Pool, 100%+ payouts for ams, $101 added cash for the big boys, and a bunch of good clean fun for the whole family. But please, don't bring your whole family.

Holes #13 - #16 have been opened back up by the park! They have installed all the baskets in their original locations. We are headed out this weekend to finalize the new locations on #13, #15, #16. If the park is able to get the sleeves in the ground in time, we will be playing the full 24 holes!! It's been a long time coming, but the Chuck D. Memorial Course is nearing completion! We are very excited and hope that we can all celebrate by playing all 24 holes next weekend.

================================================
It's gonna be a hot one on Sunday. Also...it's supposed to be 90 degrees. You see what I did there? Nice! Please come prepared with enough water and remember that we are NOT offering a lunch option this year. There are a few place to grab some grub between rounds, but the pickins are slim. So come prepared. The park MIGHT have concessions open, but not 100% on that.

The new letter holes are in and are sweet! If you haven't gotten a chance to check 'em out, you'll be in for a nice surprise. We'll have tons of CTP goodies, a juicy Ace Pool, 100%+ payouts for ams, $101 added cash for the bigs boys, and a bunch of fun.

TOURNAMENT CENTRAL WILL BE LOCATED NEAR CHUCK D. #1. Not in the Beach Center as we have frequently done in the past. Registration will be from 8:30 - 9:30. Big shout out to everyone who notified me that they won't make it. Right now there's no waiting list.

See y'all on Sunday cause you know we don't roll on Shabbos! I told those f**ks down at the league office a thousand time that I don't roll on Shabbos. This isn't Nam. There are rules.

The 101 is sad to say that we will have to cancel Roc N Rolling Hills which was scheduled to take place on 8/27.

We WILL however be throwing our annual fall affair, Union Strikes, on October 15th at Indy Lake. Due to the delay in construction at the park, there is a good chance that we will be playing one of the two rounds on the Picnic Course!!!! Or maybe both rounds!?

Details will be posted soon...

First of all, I would like to formally thank everyone who stood up and cast their voted for disc golf. We rocked the vote!!

Unfortunately, what the article didn't make clear (thanks Ryan Stanton) was that, Ann Arbor City Council made the decision to keep ball golf at HH for the next two seasons. They want to see if the recent rise in numbers there will continue. I learned this after talking with the Parks & Rec. Manager.

The Local 101 and AA Parks & Rec were in talks to discuss the possibility of installing a course there, and it is still a possibility in the future. The good news is that the 101 will be hosting an event at Huron Hills later this year, after Thanksgiving! More details TBD.

When City Council decides to come back to the Huron Hills issue they will see how well the DG community responded to the poll. You guys should be proud of what we did. I certainly am.

Whitmore Lake, MI

Official word from Independence Lake County Park is that the remaining holes on the Picnic Course will be installed for play on Monday, November 15th, 2010. That's right, all 18 holes on Picnic will be in the ground on 11/15 until spring time.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
When playing the Picnic Course please be aware that this is SHARED USE AREA. If you encounter other park users on some of the holes please inform them kindly what you are doing, and ask them nicely to let you throw. SKIP THE HOLE if necessary and come back to it later. Other option is to "send a blocker" to deflect shots from hitting other park users. PLEASE TREAT THE OTHER NON-DISC GOLF PARK USERS WITH RESPECT AND CARE. It is a privilege to even have this course and if we screw up then the course could be gone forever.
END OF PSA

Now get out there and enjoy it

Independence Lake to Open this Friday October 8th

Whitmore Lake, MI-
Independence Lake Disc Golf Course will re-open to the public on Friday October 8th. The park is open from 8am to dusk throughout the fall and winter. The course - officially named the "Red Hawk" and unofficially referred to as the "Chuck D" - will feature 18 holes with three teepads per hole. The black layout is the most challenging. The black layout will have 18 concrete tee pads that measure 6'x12'. The white layout is the medium difficulty and will feature concrete pads that measure 5'x10'. The red layout is the shortest for newer players and will have natural teepads. The red layout is a work in progress and feedback is welcome.

The Local 101 Disc Golf Players Union would like to thank Independence Lake County Park, Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation and the taxpayers (!!) for this beautiful addition to the Ann Arbor area disc golf courses.

Where: Rolling Hills County Park

Player limit: 72
Two rounds of 18 holes

Tournament Announcement: 1st round will be tied in with the Sunday "church" league and it will count for points in the MICPS. Thanks to Foz, Chris Gee and the Schooleys for helping to make this happen.

The tournament will have the typical divisions: Pro, AM1, AM2, etc... The MICPS points pools will be separated into two: Pro/AM1 and AM2/AM3/AM4/everyone else..

You will not have to wait in line on Sunday and it will help us out a lot for you to register on Saturday. If you have already paid for Loco Cinco then you can pick up your players pack at this time.

SATURDAY DOUBLES
We will have a big turnout on Saturday for our regular Saturday doubles. We will be playing the Picnic Course since it will only be installed for this weekend then taken out of the ground. Come on out to play doubles, practice the course and register for Loco Cinco.

Top 15% of finishers in the AM1 division will qualify for AM Nationals.

Dear Local 101 Supporter,

Please see our 2010 Loco Cinco sponsorship form:
http://local101dg.com/media/2010_Sponsorship_Form.pdf

This document details the different packages and benefits available for sponsoring Loco Cinco this year on May 2nd.

We are offering an incentive this year for bringing in a new sponsor, and that is a 25% commission, or "finder's fee" to be paid to the person who brings in a sew sponsor. So if you bring in a hole sponsor for $101 then you will get $25! We are trying out this method this year based on other standards we have seen in other areas of fundraising.

Please note the sponsorship cutoff dates:
April 1st to be on the tournament shirt (for Gold level sponsors).
April 15th to be on the tournament hole sign.

Cheers,
Scott White
President

Joe Monteith aced hole 4 on the Chuck D Course this weekend to take down the $230 ace pool. Joe generously donated $36 (one for each hole) back to the Ace Pool so we are not starting from zero. Thanks buddy, you roc. Joe also earned himself 50 extra points in the Ann Arbor Cooperative Points Series (A2CoPS).

There is quite a battle going on right now for the title of “Best Player in the World” (or Ann Arbor at least, which puts you in the running for world) with Bob Smart jumping out to a commanding 31 point lead. We shall see if he continues to golf once the temperature drops below freezing.

To beat Bob, show up to an officially sanctioned A2CoPS event: Noon Saturdays at Independence Lake, 10am Sundays at Rolling Hills or 7pm Wednesdays (Glow) at Bandemer Park. Schedule, leaderboard and talk board are all here on Disc Golf Scene:
http://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/Ann_Arbor_Cooperative_Point_Series_2009

We will temporarily suspend Saturday Doubles this week to allow everyone to play in Mystic Mills at Hudson Mills.

Now that most of you have gotten a chance to play the new course in all of its glory, come out to help us clean it up a bit. We all know that its rough around the edges and could use a little TLC. If you plan on coming out please bring any hand tools such as hand saws, loppers, rakes, work gloves, shears and sharks with friggin' laser beams attached to their heads. We have put a ton of blood, sweat and tears into this course and we ask that you offer up a little too.

List of duties include:

Hole 1: raking
Hole 2: trimming/clearing left & right side of fairway, raking
Hole 3: raking by basket
Hole 4: trimming/clearing left side of fairway, raking
Hole 13: clearing long tee area, raking, clearing path to 14

So as many of you have seen, the Chuck D Memorial Course at Independence Lake is now sleeved and 18 brand new Chainstars adorn the 60+ rustic acres. While the baskets are in, much work remains. Over the coming weeks we will be installing signs and temporary teepads. So right now yes the course is playable, but for your first round on the Chuck D try to find someone that has played it at least once to show you around. Once signage is installed we will be pushing to get concrete teepads poured as soon as possible, and if all goes well they could be in before 2010. We intentially did not do concrete off the bat because we want to have the ability to tweak teepad locations as the course settles in. So if you have any suggestions feel free to talk to us on the course or send a message to Scott White, Josh Romine or Mike Fortunato and we will take all of those suggestions into account when finalizing teepads.

Also don't forget that the Picnic Course is set to be installed October 17th which will also be week one of Local 101 Saturday Doubles at Indy Lake. Flip off at noon.

On October 18th we are holding our third tournament of the year:
"Union Strikes for Indy". We are ordering custom stamped plastic from Discraft for this event: Preds, Comets, Surges and Buzzzes. Pre-registration is possible on discgolfscene.com. More info here:

Reminder: Disc Golf Course Work Day is tomorrow at Independence Lake County Park. Saturday at 2pm on the Chuck D Memorial Course. Please bring gloves, loppers, rakes and shears if you have any of this stuff. We are limited to hand tools. Here is a quick summary of what we will be doing.
-General cleanup (sticks and branches) on holes 1,2,3,13,14,18
-Clearing Brush and olives left side of hole 2 (main reason for the work day)
-Trimming low branches on holes 1,8

..and that's it! The course really looks fantastic in my opinion other than a few problem areas. Once we get these taken care of then we will organize a round to see how these improvements actually play. Hope to see you tomorrow at this work day.

Also, we need to come up with a name for the course. The county was not interested in calling it the "Chuck D. Memorial", so we as a community should offer up some suggestions. Please post any ideas here: http://www.discgolfscene.com/clubs/Local_101_Disc_Golf_Players_Union/talk/general

We will be having a Local 101 Disc Golf PU meeting Monday 9/14, 6:30 @ Corner Brewery in Ypsilanti. All are welcome. http://www.arborbrewing.com/index.php?site=cornerbrewery

On the agenda is:

1. Union Strikes for Indy: October 18, 2009. We will discuss format, entry fees, players packs, etc. Come on out if you would like to learn how tournaments are planned and to offer any input. We could always use help in the form of ideas or volunteers.

2. Future courses at Indy Lake. We are planning a work day soon and we'll discuss the details.

3. Winter League. Will Saturday doubles return? What will the format be? Can we work with other clubs (Ypsi Dubs, 24 Chains, Washtenaw Glow) on a consolidated points system for a winter league?

Hope to see you there!

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a great tournament. There are plenty of spots left for all who are interested in playing. The CTPs just keep getting fatter as people keep on donating their wares. Hope to see everybody out there.

We have $500 added cash for the Men's "Cash" division, tasty all day CTPS on every hole for both of the "Cashless" divisions, low entry fees, kick-ass player's packs for all of the Kim Gordons and Steve Perrys, sweet trophies for each division, and there will be burgers for everybody (bring your on beverages).

It looks like a 30% chance of scattered showers in the pm, so bring your umbrellas.

Local 101 is looking for CTP donations for Roc and Rolling Hills - August 22nd.

Our goal is to have all 24 holes sponsored with a Closest To Pin (CTP) prize. A donation can be as simple as a disc and we encourage donations from individuals, clubs and leagues. Please get creative! Baked goods and fresh produce prizes are underrated. We will take all donations and assemble them together in a big pile of CTP goodness to distribute back to the players.

Send an email to [email redacted] or post in the talk section on RnR Hills (http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Roc_and_Rolling_Hills_2009/talk). Claim a hole and give a description of your CTP prize so we can all get collectively stoked. I'll start the process. Hole 1 gets a disc golf bag, towell and full color mini.

Also, cash-less preregistration worked pretty well for us at Loco IV, so we're going to continue to use it. We are currently accepting registrations. We are not offering the typical divisions that most tournaments have, so please read the description before you register. More information about Roc and Rolling Hills 2009 can be found here: http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Roc_and_Rolling_Hills_2009

Thanks!

Friday morning the 1st of May, I need help putting the baskets together, placing the baskets, and putting the finishing touches on the Charlie Drukis Memorial Course at Independence.

Please avoid playing Independence Lake this Saturday April 18th. You will not have an enjoyable round unless you play really early in the morning. Due to the nice weather, the park is expecting to get a good number of picnic-ers who will be in your way - all day. Best to just avoid it all together, or play early.

Instead, feel free to help us install the 2nd course at Independence, we will be working hard from 10am-2pm and we need all the help we can get. There may be time for a round afterwords at the new course, playing to a portable basket. Call Scott @ 734-276-7207 for questions or to arrange a ride.

We will also have raffle tickets for $5 for a Discraft Chainstar ($350 value) on sale. Thanks!

Registration is now open for Loco IV. To register, we need to know your name, division, pdga# (if you have one), and a way to get a hold of you, whether it's email or phone. We are trying out a FREE registration, so please only register if you intend to play. You can send an email to [email redacted] or post to the 'Talk' section on this tournament page on discgolfscene. With the way tournaments have been filling up in MI this year, we expect a big turnout and could fill up at 144 players. We will start a wait list if that happens, so again please only register if you intend to play. We are trying to be cool and easy by giving you the player the option of free registration, no fees! Here are some more details on the tournament:

http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Loco_IV_2009

http://local101dg.com/

When: Saturday May 2, 2009. Registration 8:30-9:30
What: Loco IV, PDGA B Tier tournament, AM Nationals Qualifier, Michigan State Finals Qualifier, (at least) $500 added cash to the pro purse.
Players Pack: Disc + Mini
Lunch: Optional, provided on site for an additional fee.
Where: Independence Lake County Park. Two courses will be used. One is the amazing "Picnic Course", where wind of Independence can smash your dreams of a perfect round. The 2nd course will be a new one that no one has ever played before, and it currently in design. Once the tournament is over this will become the permanent course at Independence Lake.

Hope to see you all there, and try to get out to Indy as much as possible in April, as we do not know when the Picnic Course will go back in the ground (if ever)..

Independence Lake County Park - Picnic Course is a beautiful property that we have the privilege of playing right now. As the weather gets nicer you will see more and more people out at the park. The majority of the people out there have no idea what disc golf is and what are these funny looking orange things all over the place. When you yell at them from a distance and tell them to move, they get confused and angry. Please know that other park patrons have just as much right to the area as we have. This is not a designated "disc golf only zone" like other parks.

If you encounter a picnic-er that is in your way, please try this approach:

Set your bag and discs down by the teepad or wherever you are. One person in your group kindly approach (up close so you don't have to yell) person/people in your way and tell them: "Hey, so we're playing this crazy game here where we thrown frisbees at these orange things that your kids are playing on. Would you kindly mind moving over to a different area for a few minutes while we play this part of the course?"

If they say "no", then please move on to the next hole and try to play it later. This course has only been in for a few months and it's future is not well known. If we get nasty complaint letters written to the Washtenaw County Parks then it will be pulled for most of the year other then for tournaments. We don't want that to happen..

Please try to play Independence Lake at times when there will be minimal non-disc golfers. If you are planning a Saturday or Sunday round on a nice day, then please try to go early or late in the day.

Just in general be nice and try to understand the point of view of the non disc golfer, who has no idea why you are out there other than to take in the scenery.

Thanks and enjoy.

So we made some changes to Loco this year.

Here are the new details:
Name: Loco IV
Date: May 2nd
PDGA B Tier
MDGO Qualifier
Location: Independence Lake Park

We no longer plan to hold this tournament at Hudson Mills. This is in no way a slight against Hudson Mills. We love Hudson Mills it is still one of the best courses in Michigan and in the running for best worldwide.

Independence Lake is our project though. We already have one course in the ground and hope to have the 2nd in before Loco. We want to show the park what this here disc golf is all about. We decided to sanction this year mainly to ensure a really good turnout. We want to fill this tournament this year. 136 players will be the cap. We will do a cashless pre-reg again. We are starting to work on sponsorship packages. Please contact [email redacted] if you or your club or your business is interested in sponsorship associated with this event.

One thing I personally felt bad about was last year how we dealt with the ladies who showed up at Loco. We had a huge turnout in the Advanced Women division, way more that any of us anticipated. Well we had planned to do this division trophy only and didn't even do a trophy. The awards ceremony was really kind of awkward, we didn't give anything out to the winner even. SO we want to make it up to the ladies this year, and we hope for the same level of turnout in this division. We did get ladies sizes in the T-shirts, and we plan to do that again.

I think we will still do AM3 as trophy only. AM2 and AM1 will play for prizes with a bigger than average players pack so the purse will not be huge.

The pro division is a different story though. At least $500 added cash but we are shooting for a much larger number. We will be working hard on fund-raising for youse pros to make this a top notch event. We can say that the pro entry fee will be the same or lower than AM1. Remember as an AM you may accept merch instead of cash to retain your AM status. We might sweeten this deal and say any AM that cashes in Pro will get double their money back in merch. It's only fair..

Attention all Local 101'ers:

The course at Independence Lake IS IN! The layout is very similar to tourney layout. Tee pads are NOT marked yet, but will be for California Dreamin' - which by the way is on Sat. January 10th. We hope to see all your familiar faces out there as well as some new ones. Bring your A-game and your appetite. The chili cook off will be fierce.

So get off your holidazed ass, bundle up, and prepare for battle. Also, on Thursday check out the Community section of the Ann Arbor News.

## 10-12-2008 Tournament Announcement! ###

One clarification right off the bat:
This tournament will play a temporary course of 18 holes. This course is designed in the picnic areas of Independence Lake County Park. The grounds are lush and manicured. Water will be in play and baskets will be in really unique and interesting spots. Working title is the "Picnic Course"

The future permanent course at Indy will be in a different area of the park. This is more of a woods area that still will require fairways to be cleared.

We are currently at 34 players for Union N4I 2008. We will continue to accept cashless pre-reg's via email: [email redacted]

Send an email with your name, division and age. Please name the subject "Union N4I" so we can easily tell what it is for. The tournament is $40 for all divisions, and you can pay when you show up on Sunday (10.19.08)

The course will be installed on Friday afternoon. It will be in the ground for only Friday-Sunday.

Joe Anttila will be running a Saturday Doubles at the Indy Lake temp course at Noon. This is the first (semi) official Saturday doubles of the winter league. It will move at Hudson Mills for the subsequent weeks.

Some good news on the added cash front, CJs sounds interested in some course donations as well as some possible added cash for the pros.

Recent discussions with the park have been very positive. We should have a great course out there within the next year, and the immediate quality of it depends somewhat on Nov 4, 2008. If you live in Washtenaw County, you can vote in this 10 year millage renewal which Independence Lake County Park will rely on to continue to bring new activities to people. Proposal A. Disc Golf is one of those things that the parks see as a positive year round activity. Dedicated clientele of winter coat and goggle wearing crazies that throw frisbies in the snow.. We recently had Jim Kenner out to see the land and offer his expert opinion. Josh Romine will be getting to work soon to layout holes for the permanent course.

We have the caddy books printed, the minis are here and look sweet. Really looking forward to a good day for Independence Lake. We hope to be able to raise over $1000 for the new course. This money will go directly to purchasing baskets for the Indy Lake permanent course. $5 of all players entry fees will go to the course donation and the 101 will match that $5 so a total of $10 per player will go the course.

The 101 will have sponsorship forms for the new permanent course. These forms will outline 3-4 different levels of sponsorship. On the table: Having your name on a hole sign. Benches sponsorship, where your name is engraved on a plaque on the bench. Sign sponsorship, where your name is on the disc golf welcome sign. So basically we're putting names all over the place, but we want to show future players who was there to help when this course went in..
