Berth Playoff/season changes (updated)

Hey guys! Final playoff for the berth this Tuesday between Adam M (MA1) and Darryl B (MA4)! After averaging out both of their total season scores (disregarding the 1st 2 rounds where Adam did not play) I came up with Adam at a 53.57 and Darryl at a 58.07. Rounding to the nearest integer gives a 4 stroke difference, which will be the handicap to level the field. If after 18 holes there is a tie then it will go into sudden death. The 2 players and myself will be starting on hole 3 to try to avoid ... more

After averaging out both of their total season scores (disregarding the 1st 2 rounds where Adam did not play) I came up with Adam at a 53.57 and Darryl at a 58.07. Rounding to the nearest integer gives a 4 stroke difference, which will be the handicap to level the field. If after 18 holes there is a tie then it will go into sudden death. The 2 players and myself will be starting on hole 3 to try to avoid any potential backups. Winner will be awarded immediately after the round. If you are 1st or 2nd in your division stick around, I have something for you as well.
This will end our 18 week point season, next session running from Aug 6 to Oct 1. We will not be doing the point system, but instead both leagues will be individually running payouts each week. It will still be $10 all in if you participate in the payouts, money being divided in this fashion: $5 to play ($4 going to payout, $1 to League/teepad fund) $3 to 50/50 CTP and $2 to Ace Pool.). Payouts will be divided 75/25 if 9 or less players participating, 60/30/10 if 10 or more. If you decide to opt out of payouts it will be $6 all in.
After Oct 1 we will still be having league play, just not sanctioned. This will open it up to doing things like random doubles and such.
See everyone Tuesday!

It’s playoff time!

Thanks to everyone who came out to BRATS last night and played in the slightly inclimate weather. Terry said we were hilarious LOL
After speaking with everyone about whether they can or cannot attend States if awarded the berth, this is how the playoff stand: Semi-finals this Tuesday will be Adam McPherson (MA1) vs. Jake Billings (MA2), and Adam Sullivan (MA3) vs. Darryl Bolsby (MA4). Winners will play the final round the following Tuesday in a handicap match. Point series will still continue u ... more

Berth playoffs

Here is how the playoffs will work the last 2 weeks of summer leagues. The semifinals will be on 7/23 between the players with the most points in each division (MA1/MA2 and MA3/MA4) at the end of the round at BRATS. If that player already has a berth or cannot go, the playoff spot goes to the next player in that division (and so on). They will all play on the same card from their respective tees. If there happens to be no one in a single division the playoff spot will be automatically given to t ... more

If there happens to be no one in a single division the playoff spot will be automatically given to the other division. The 2 winners will go to the finals, which will be a handicap match on 7/30. I will add each players scores from the entire season and get an average, the handicap will be the difference (rounding down). Winner will be awarded the berth that evening.
League points will continue during the last 2 weeks to determine the official 1st place in each division (I will have something for each of them).

Info for tomorrow at BRATS

Don’t forget we are playing BRATS, not NorthRidge, tomorrow. Tee of 6:00, but if you’re running less than 15 minutes late please let Mark or myself know and we’ll hold back a card for you. Layout will be Red 9/White 9 UNLESS Terry has mown Blue, then White/Blue. As there is no established SSA for this layout tomorrow will be an unsanctioned round.

I will also have a special CTP disc as well as the 50/50 CTP. Hope to see all of you out there tomorrow!

Great throwing last night guys. Welcome to our 2 new members David and Elijah! Hot rounds went to Elijah with 50 (-7) and Mark N with 46 (-10, which either sets or ties a League record) Also, Doug W hit an Ace on 17.
Next week at BRATS. This will be the last week for points for the berth playoffs. Currently the semifinal rounds will be between Adam M and Ben S in the MA1-2 League, and between either Adam S or Kyle R (who are tied in MA3) and Darryl B for the MA3-4 League. If any of these player ... more

Next week at BRATS. This will be the last week for points for the berth playoffs. Currently the semifinal rounds will be between Adam M and Ben S in the MA1-2 League, and between either Adam S or Kyle R (who are tied in MA3) and Darryl B for the MA3-4 League. If any of these players are not planning or able to attend States, the spot will go to the next highest points player in that division. Finals will be between the winners of each on our final night of the points series this season. This is how it will work: I will add up the entire season totals for each player from their perspective tees and average it out. The difference will be the handicap between the 2 players to make it an even matchup. Winner will be awarded the berth to States that evening.

Here is the address to BRATS for those who do not know where it is:
5171 Waters Rd, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103 There is a Red, White and Blue mailbox across the street from the driveway. When you pull in, please follow the drive around to the left and park behind the shed. Any other questions please contact me or reply to this post. See you all next Tuesday!

Morning gentlemen. Just a friendly reminder that we will be playing NorthRidge tonight at 6pm, next week at BRATS planning on 6pm tee off, but if you are running a LITTLE behind please let either Mark or I know and we can hold off until 6:15 at the latest.

If you already have a berth, or are sure you will NOT be able to attend the State Championship let me know, and playoff spots will go to the next person in points. See you tonight!

DGLO Volunteers

Hey gang, just spoke with John Minicuci about volunteering for the DGLO this weekend. They are something different for volunteers this year (last year it was free discs), I’ll let you know what it is when I find out. If any of you are interested (any one or all days) please let me know by replying to this so I can get your names to John to put on the list. I’ll also check with everyone tomorrow. See you guys at 6:00 tomorrow!

Kevin “KDawgg” VilleMonte   June 24, 2019 at 11:58pm

Time bump to 6:00

Hey gang, sorry I forgot to post this last week! As we now have plenty of late light, we will start teeing off at 6 instead of 5:30 to give more people a chance to make it to leagues. Also, July 16th we have been invited back to BRATS! See everyone tomorrow.

Week 8

Back to NorthRidge tonight! 5:30 tee off. Course is still a little soggy in places, but overall not bad.(14’s long tee/fairway most likely the worst of it so may be teeing if forward right/left of box TBD). On a brighter note, back 9 has finally been mowed (with a couple improvements). See everyone tonight!

Kevin “KDawgg” VilleMonte   May 14, 2019 at 12:52pm

Reminder

Hey everyone, just a quick reminder that we will NOT be playing Northridge tonight. Instead, tee off will be 5:30 at Lakeshore/The Ponds in Ypsilanti. MA1-2 playing 1-18 longs, MA3-4 shorts. We will not be playing the lettered holes. See you tonight!

Lakeshore this Tuesday

Hey everyone, I’ve been receiving concerns from a number of people about play on the NorthRidge course conditions due to so much rain recently. This Tuesday 5/14 we will be playing at Lakeshore/The Ponds, A: because the conditions here are probably better here than other courses in the area, and B: it’s a no cost for entry course. Tee off is still 5:30, meeting at the practice basket. Hope to see you all there!

Week 3

Good morning gentlemen! Looks like we’re finally in for some decent weather tonight!! Low winds and a little rain only around noon. Don’t forget we’re teeing off at 5:30 starting tonight. See you there!

Week 2 results

Hey gang, another blustery round under our belts! Who knows, maybe one of these Tuesdays we may only have 10+ mph winds LOL
20 people this week (19 put in for Ace Pool) which bumps the Ace Pool up to $206 next week! Hot rounds were Ben S and Brian N (MA1-2) with 60 (+3) and Mark N and Nick C (MA3-4) with 58 (+2). Great throwing in that wind guys! CTPs went to Ben S (MA1-2) and Kevin V (MA3-4). Starting next week we will be bumping our tee times to 5:30 pm to give more people a chance to show. I ... more

I’ll post more news on course updates as they are planned. Also, the NorthRidge Open sanctioned Tournament is on Memorial Day, this is a chance for all of us to show how we OWN this course! I’d like to see most of us signed up for this to rep the NRCDG League. See you all next week at 5:30!

Week 1 results

We’re baaaaaaaack! Hope everyhad a great off-season. NRC Course welcomes us back with its customary gusto (get it? windy.. GUSTo... never mind LOL) Lots of improvements to the course, it’s definitely a bit more challenging. Welcome to our 2 newest members Chris and Josh! Ok, on to the news. 16 players showed to start off the season, so with the rollover from last season + the increase this year the Ace Pool is at $130 already. I’m looking forward to that first payout this year! ... more

If you have any feedback on the changes to the course please feel free to leave it in the comments. See you all next week at 5!
