Just want to give a BIG thanks to doug watson for running fri nite skins league and all the other league admins that i played in this winter, especially shawn mascorro for ricky weeks putting, john minicucci for bobis and sunnybrook putting, foz for running the micops and ypsi leagues and providing the opportunity to earn points as well as cash making this past winters discin a helluva good time!

thanks to all that came out to join us in braving all the elements on friday nites and the mild weather we had too, sorry i took so much of your $$ LOL..but yes this was an AWESOME winter for disc golf as i dont think i missed but a few days of playing all winter long! with the winter micops ending on saturday and now having a lead for 1st in the home stretch with only 2 leagues left to play it appears i may hold the spot and secure a berth through micops so i am more than happy to see another fellow friday nite player be rewarded with the berth we have for the league.

At the beginning of the winter leagues and micops series i had no idea i would reach the top of the leaderboard and stay there as i didnt think i was that good of a player yet but when i saw the battle brewing to stay in the top 10 with some of my fellow players i set a goal for myself to try and earn the #1 spot on the board. in the process of setting that goal i believe my game improved drastically this past winter, that being said i would recommend to anyone looking to improve their game to set some goals and STAY CONFIDENT while trying to reach them, if/when and no matter how often you lose or have a rough round NEVER SAY TO YOUSELF "I HATE THIS GAME"...if you want to get better play as much and as often as possible and listen to every bit of advice you can pick up along the way, do your field work and try different techniques, i believe PUTTING AND UPSHOTS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT and difficult aspects of the game of disc golf so play harder courses and work on your short game, getting out of trouble and putting! spend time watching and if possible playing with others who have strengths that are your weakness, learn from it and if it works then ultimatley try to duplicate what you see others do on the course, also NEVER WORRY ABOUT ANYONE ELSES GAME BUT YOUR OWN when your playing in a league or tournament, this game is as much mental as it is physical and the physical part is easy! it hard enough controlling your own thoughts when you have a bad throw, make a shot that goes o.b., or take a bogie or worse so dont let what happens to others or the negative attitude of their game affect what YOU want to accomplish, if you struggle then struggle MORE, TRY AGAIN and get over that bad shot, NO PAIN NO GAIN!!

1 round of 24 @ Addy? We can play skins for money and berth, or just berth. I'm down either way. Total buy in would be $12.
The issue with doing a day round is making sure all eligible players can attend.

Also, all remaining ace pool money will roll over to next season.

Cant make it tonight, I have played dubs with re-flips although not with skins, sounds like payouts would be interesting though. you will end up paying out (36) 25 cent skins instead of (18) 50 cent skins. Sounds like it would spread the winnings around a bit more. this would mean that if there are six players you would have to win six skinz to break even for the night.

Sounds fun though...wish i could make it!

Good. Let's all wear pants tonight. Don't misunderstand the news post. I do not mean "hang your ass out and golf tonight". Any bare-assed golfers showing up tonight will be swiftly kicked in the rumpus and will receive -50 points. Unless you bring the lady in Mango's profile pic. She can bare-ass golf any night of the week.

I want to get some input from the league players on a couple format ideas. We can try one of these this Friday if there is any interest for them:

--Rolling Cali Singles--
The group will flip before the round to determine the order of the rolling Cali. Player 1 gets Cali on hole 1, then Player 2 on 2, so on and so forth until you come back around to Player 1. So in a group of 6 each player would get a Cali on 3 holes. In a group of 5 we would need to play 20 holes so every player gets the same amount of Cali shots. Buy-in could be adjusted to accommodate this.

--Random Doubles with Reflips--
We flip for partners pre-round and play as usual. Once a team wins a hole and takes skins, the entire group re-flips for new partners. Repeat as needed until end of round. We could even take this idea further and re-flip for partners every 1/3/6/9 holes.

Any thoughts?
