Since there is a large interest in getting more spots. What is the registered player's response to having 5 somes? I don't want to make this change without hearing from the people that have been sold a tournament with a 72 player cap. The benefit would be a large increase in the payout and friends that couldn't get in can. Downside is longer rounds and more waiting. Ams that would get in past the 72 cap would get a smaller player's package (since I had planned on fewer people). Please respond here or feel free to PM me if you don't want to have your feelings about it heard (If you object, I won't let anyone know). If I open up more spots I would abandon the waitlist and open up a new registration Thursday night at 8pm est. It would be first come first serve.

I still owe a bunch of people some stuff from the K'Aces Summer Leagues. Usually CTP prizes are forfeit after the league, but I forgot to pass them out to the people that showed up after the morning round.

David Feldberg will be coming out to Coldbrook on SUNDAY, JUNE 21ST, to run a clinic and host a “Beat the Champ” round of golf. He will be doing the clinic at 2:00 and will go until 3:00. After that you can pay $25 or $30 to play in the “Beat the Champ” round of golf. You will get 2 special Latitude 64 discs (both discs will be premium plastic for the $30). It will be a singles event with prizes for both Pros and Ams and if you beat Dave in the round of singles, he is promising “Special Prizes”.
Coldbrook is where Dave got his start playing disc golf and also where “Nobody could beat him” during the 2008 World Championships. Can you??? Either way it is a free clinic, a good price for some Latitude 64 discs, and it would be awesome if Dave got beat by a bunch of us locals!!

I picked up shirts on Friday. So that means that the final piece of the membership packages are in for this year's summer leagues!! I will start handing them out tomorrow, Monday, at ViRA. The league party is Saturday the 27th. If you can't make it out to any league night or that Saturday, please have someone pick up your stuff for you!! Remember that you do need to be paid up to the league to get your membership stuff (this includes upgrading your shirts, i.e. tie dyes)! Also, any CTP prizes owed will become forfeit after the awards portion of the league party. Again if you can't make it and you are owed a prize, please have someone clam it for you or make an arrangement with me!

I have some awesome news to announce! Bell's Brewery is the official presenting sponsor of the 2015 PDGA Amateur Disc Golf World Championships, in Kalamazoo, MI!!! I can't say how much I appreciate the support that Bell's Brewery has shown me and disc golf over the years, going all the way back to when I started building Coldbrook Park's disc golf course. They have supported the club I run, K'ACES DISC GOLF for the last 20 years. They were the Presenting Sponsor of the 2008 PDGA Pro/Am Worlds. They even have sponsored the 2009 Pro/Am Worlds in Kansas City!! They probably are the largest non-disc golf related sponsor of disc golf! So if you are a disc golfer, you should go find a 6-pack of Bell's (even if you have to drive to another state to do it) and drink a toast to them for all the support that they have given the sport we love!!! Thank you Bell's!!! www.bellsbeer.com

Tomorrow is the last day of Winter League at Oshtemo. Please be there no later than 9:45, because everyone is going to be grouped according to the rankings. It is double points and there is no pre-shooting. After the round, there will be a short period when points are calculated, then a throw off for any left over ace pool money, and then the awards. So plan on staying later than normal.

If you are owed anything or can't stay for the awards, please try and have someone get it for you. If you still need your membership hoodie, you need to come and get it, ASAP. I will most likely be out of them after the Lumberjack Open (next week).

Also keep in mind the Ace Pool will be close to $400!!! The payout is going to be 40 deep!! If anyone is owed any CTP prizes, you need to come out and claim it or have someone do it for you or loose it!

Just a reminder about the end of the summer leagues. The final round for the Tuesday, Oshtemo League will be Tuesday the 25th. That will be the double points round. There is no pre-shooting that round and you have to play with another league member that night. The final round for the Thursday, Cold Brook League will be Saturday the 29th at 9am!! Everyone will be paired up for that round according to the standings. Again, no pre-shooting that round. Awards for both league will be the 29th at Cold Brook Park after the potluck lunch (bring a dish to pass!!). Lunch should start sometime after noon (actually after the double points round is over). After the awards is high/low average doubles for any ace pool money and there is a glow round at dark for $5/person. There will be 100% cash payback for the glow round!

Oshtemo League members can play the Cold Brook finals round if they want too. The $5 dues does apply. Non-members can play as well, except for the high/low doubles (they can play along, just not for the money).

Grand Prize throw offs for the weekly winners of the Discraft, Disc Golf Association, Innova, Qualifier, and Shortest Drive prizes will happen during the potluck lunch. You must be there to throw. No substitutes!

The Cold Brook League will happen on the 27th.

Any unclaimed CTP/LP prizes will be forfeit after the awards on the 29th. Prizes and Membership Items will be available until next May (unless the membership shirts sell out during the winter), then they will be forfeit. So, if you or someone you know needs to claim anything then either do so, have someone do it for you, or contact me to make some kind of arrangement.

There is a league meeting this coming Wednesday at 7:30pm at Fat Tony's on Portage Rd (between the Air Zoo and the highway). The meeting we will discus the summer and winter leagues, tournaments, and the area courses. I would like to get everyone's opinion on whatever they are concerned about. Things could be on changes to courses, the format of the league, membership items, new tournaments, or new league merchandise. I also want to get more people involved in running things and doing more for the area courses. You don't need to be a league member to attend or voice your opinion. Please try and make it. If you can't but have something that you would like to discus please LMK. Thanks

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day for the Oshtemo League. It will be double points and there is no pre-shooting the round or playing alone. Saturday morning (9:00am) is the final double points round for the Thursday Cold Brook League (we still play this Thursday) at Cold Brook. Keep in mind that there is no pre-shooting this round either. We need everyone that is playing the Saturday morning round there by 9 so we can set groups for the round. We group everyone according to the standings in the league. So the top 4 players in the league will be shooting together. Oshtemo members don't need to be there for the round, but are more then welcome to do so even if you haven't played in the Cold Brook league at all. Non-members can also play. League dues do apply for the double points rounds.

After the morning round we will have a potluck lunch and the throw-offs for the CTP Grand Prizes. So bring a dish to pass and BYOB. Also if you have won the Discraft, Innova Champion, Disc Golf Association (DGA), Qualifier, and/or the shortest drive at either the Oshtemo or Cold Brook league you are in the Grand Prize throw offs. You must be there to throw, no substitutions. We will be doing these during lunch.

After the throw offs we will do awards for both leagues. Any unclaimed CTP prizes will be forfeit at this point. Anyone that needs one can make arrangements with me or please have someone else claim it. If you can't be there for the awards, please try and have someone claim you discs for you (tell them what you would like). If you need to, you can make arrangements with me to get your prizes at a later date.

After awards we will play high/low doubles. Highest average is paired with the lowest average and we play for what is left in the Ace Pool or for $100, which ever is greater. Sorry, this is members only for this round. There is no fee to play in this round.

Finally we will be doing a glow round at dark. There is no set format for this. Everyone who is there will determine what we will be playing (doubles, singles, ....) and if it for any money. The league will be covering the cost of glow sticks for all 24 holes and the park fee for doing the glow round. Non-members are welcome to play.

There are no set times for anything other then the 9:00am start time. Please try and be there early, so we can get started ASAP. I expect the morning round to be done around noon. So if you are not coming for the morning round I would be there before noon, especially if you are in a throw off. The times for everything is dependent on when everything else finishes up. I hope to see everyone there this weekend. It should be a great time. Lots of baskets and discs are being given away!!

I was given a name of someone on Facebook that has made some interesting posts. I think that it is "PooP". I'm gonna give his name and the Facebook link, but I want everyone to wait until Thursday before trying to contact him. This will allow more people to view his stuff before he takes it down or secures it:

His name is Joey Sans. He apparently went to Loy Norrix. Check out the posts on his wall and see what you think. If anyone knows him or comes across him please get him to stop his vandalism. I will be sending him a message soon. I just want to give people a chance to see who it is.

There are only a couple of weeks left for league. We have this coming Sunday, then a week off for the Cracked Plastic Classic, then the final league day. That final day will be for double points and we will be grouped according to standings. Awards and the ace pool throw off (if needed) will be shortly after everyone is finished with their round. There is no pre-shooting of the final league round!!
