Year End Summary

Firstly, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who came out to this year’s Deer Lakes League under the crazy circumstances that we had. It was awesome to see everyone out there in these strange times and most importantly, keep everyone safe playing the sport we love. It was very weird, but everyone worked through it and I think that things went rather smoothly.

Firstly, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who came out to this year’s Deer Lakes League under the crazy circumstances that we had. It was awesome to see everyone out there in these strange times and most importantly, keep everyone safe playing the sport we love. It was very weird, but everyone worked through it and I think that things went rather smoothly.

All of the new players this year was absolutely awesome to see. This year we had 103 different players playing a total of 527 rounds over the 16 weeks. Compared to last year’s record of 373 rounds played in 20 weeks, this is truly astonishing. The average attendance went from 18.7 players per week to 32.9!!!

We had 5 people who showed up all 16 weeks of the year; myself, Chris Lachendro, Adam Couture, Tim Sladisky, and Macky D. A huge thanks to your dedication! With the increase in players, the ace pot was hit 3 times throughout the year while the birdie pot got wrecked 6 times! I’ll take a look at the scoring data to see if anything needs to be tweaked with the birdie pot, but I think it is pretty good as is.

On the points front, we had three runaway winners for the year. I took down the Open field snagging 4 wins on the year. Adam Couture grabbed the win in Advanced with 6 wins on the year and Micah Beideman dominated the Intermediate field with 5 wins.

For year-end money, the ace pot sits at $226 while the birdie pot is at $90. The league has $364 in collected fees which is used throughout the year for CTP prizes and cookouts. The PFD is holding onto $600 of this total in case of my untimely demise and there is $80 in the money envelop which I’ll hold on to.

That’s all I have for this year. Stay safe over the winter and I can’t wait to see everyone again next year!

Final Week Results

It was awesome to see a total of 27 people make it out for the final Deer Lakes League of the year! The hot score of the day in the Open field went to Chris "CTP" Lachendro with a -14, 52 who, for the third week in a row, also walked away with the CTP on hole 8 for another $26. Shooting his highest rating ever, Macky D snuck out a win in the Advanced division with a -13, 52 while Michael McCormick also saved his best for last with his highest rating ever taking down the Intermediate ... more

No hits on the birdie and ace pots this last week, so these will roll over to next year. I plan to have payouts of your credit done this week with a year end summary coming as well.

Week 15 Results

The red tees don't disappoint and continue to produce tons of scores under par this week with Adam Couture, Jeremiah Libby, Nate Langer, and myself all shooting -12, 54s. Adam took down the Advanced division handily with his score while the other three of us tied for the win in Open. Micah Beideman continued his domination of the Intermediate division shooting 1 shot off the hot round with a -11, 55 to snag his 5th win of the year.

Unfortunately, we are almost completely out of daylight, so next week will be the final week of league for the year. Come on out for one more awesome night and see if you can take down the league record!

Week 14 Results - Better late than never...

Sorry for my tardiness on the results from last week. Cody Winget shot the hot round on the week shooting a -15, 51 from the red tees to take down the win in Open. Anson Reppermund snagged the win in Advanced with a -14, 52 which would have taken 2nd in Open and Micah Beideman dominated the Intermediate field dropping a -12, 54 (963 rated!!!). I didn't hear about anyone beating Chris Lachendro's CTP on hole 12, so he'll walk away with an additional $27.

The big winner on the day though was Greg Belles who aced hole 2. From the red tees, the ace pot pays out 40%, so Greg snags an additional $117 on the day!

32 people came out for a nice leisurely stroll through Deer Lakes Park on this past Labor Day in an attempt to tame the blue tees. Andrew Greenslade and J.

Andrew Greenslade continued his hot shooting with Eric Driscoll as they put down a -15, 51 in the red/white/blue doubles format. The teams of myself and Scott Rogel and Dan Horwat and Cam Weber were right behind the leaders with -14, 52s to also walk away with credit for future weeks.

Micah Beideman won Intermediate with an even, 66 and Lauren Boyle got the first women's victory of the year!

Unless I am misremembering, Jeff Snyder absolutely parked hole 15 and will walk away with an addition $36 for the CTP. There must have been something in the water in the Open field as 3(!) people hit the birdie pot. Philo, BJ Reiher, and Cory Murrell will each walk away with an additional $30 for birdieing holes 2, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 17. Expect the birdie pot to pay out the minimum for a couple of weeks as we build it back up after this incredible run on birdies!

Week 9 Results

On another picture perfect night, 36 folks came out to conquer Deer Lakes. Completely slaying the field out of the Advanced division was Josh Gibbons who shot his first ever 1000 rated round with a -12, 54, one stroke off of the league record for the year. Thankful of Josh playing in Advanced, I took down the Open win with a -9, 57. Scott Rogel snagged his first win in Intermediate shooting a 67.

Roll out the money wheelbarrows!

There must have been something in the air tonight as the scores were smokin' hot! To start out, we had a normal week league record 41 people attend, just 1 shy of the all time record. Hot rounds for the year were shot in Open and Intermediate and was only one stroke off of the hot round in Advanced.

Hot rounds for the year were shot in Open and Intermediate and was only one stroke off of the hot round in Advanced.

Kicking off the moneybag presentation is Kurt Poole who takes home $136 for his sweet ace on the elevated hole #8! Then, for the second week in a row, the birdie pot was cashed in... by two people! Mike and Dan Ruby both birdied holes 2, 4, and 13 for the Intermediate division birdie pot splitting $138.

Onto the hot scores now. I lead the way in the Open field shooting the lowest round of the year with a -13, 53 while also cashing in the CTP on hole 4 with a drop in for another $34. Ryan Szoldatits followed up his hot round from Devo with a -10, 56 in Advanced which actually would have split 2nd place in Open. Macky D. was right on his heals, but just couldn't keep up pace. Finally, the hot round in Intermediate on the year now belongs to Dan Ruby, adding to his birdie pot winnings shooting a -5, 61.

Great shooting by everyone tonight! Maybe the course is getting too easy?

Also, Brent Shultz. You tried to pay me through Venmo in the parking lot last week and in checking my records, it doesn't look like it went through. Can you double check, and if it didn't go through, send payment.

Thanks!

Week 6 Results - Birdie Pot Hit!

A light sprinkle of rain couldn't cool off the hot scores that were dropped out at Deer Lakes this past week. Jeremiah Libby followed up his win last week with another one this week dropping a -11, 55. Macky D and Adam Couture shared the win in Advanced shooting 61s while Jesse Holeczy snagged the win in Intermediate with a 63. Dave Wolfrey snagged the CTP on hole 7 for $29.

But the big winner of the day was Jarrett Johnston who, despite only birdieing 8 holes, won the birdie pot getting holes 2, 9, 10, 13, 17, and 18. For the birdie pot, Jarrett walks away with $156!

Reminder

Since we have a lot of new players to the league this year, I just wanted to drop a reminder that this is a PDGA sanctioned league and therefore PDGA rules do apply and are required to be followed. If you are unfamiliar with the rules, I suggest that you take some time to at least quickly scan them over. https://www.pdga.com/book/export/html/236656

Since we have a lot of new players to the league this year, I just wanted to drop a reminder that this is a PDGA sanctioned league and therefore PDGA rules do apply and are required to be followed. If you are unfamiliar with the rules, I suggest that you take some time to at least quickly scan them over. https://www.pdga.com/book/export/html/236656

A couple of highlights:
- There are no gimmies. You must hole out each whole. Even if you are 2' from the basket, you are not allowed to just slap the chains. You must drop the disc into the basket.
- A mini is required to mark your lie if you are using the same disc or marking a disc from out of bounds. You are not allowed to just flip your disc.
- The course must be played in order without skipping around. In addition to being against the rules, this also slows down other cards as you jump around. The holes must be played in order.

In addition to the PDGA rules, please be aware of the out of bounds rules of the course. They are shown in this picture section on DGScene as well as being spelled out on the PDGA scoring app for each hole. Most of them are self explanatory except for hole 15. If your 1st throw goes out of bounds on hole 15 whether it cross in or not, you must throw your next shot from the red tees with a 1 stroke penalty. Afterwards, any throw that goes OB is played with normal OB rules.

Thanks!

Week 5 Results

Will anyone hit the birdie pot this year? Payout will easily be over $150 for the next person to hit it, so get those birdies!

Congratulations to this week's winners. Jeremiah Libby shot the hot round on the day in the Open field with a 56. Josh Gibbons broke Adam's winning streak taking down the Advanced field with a 59 and Jonathan Olshock knocked Tim off of the Intermediate throne shooting a 66. Andrew Greenslade snagged the 2nd shot CTP on hole 18 for an extra $27 (boo).

Matt Rosier   July 21, 2020 at 12:57am

Confirm your scores

Joe Bifulco, John Buss, Anson Reppermund, Jason Stoner. Whoever kept score on your scorecard needs to confirm the scores. Should be a red X next to everyone's name and you need to type in their last name.

Week 4-ish Results!

Firstly, I want to thank everyone for adhering to the Allegheny County Health Department regulations to wear masks while congregating. The last thing I want to do is to have league canceled because concerned citizens saw a lot of people gathering and I think this shows that we can continue to put on events during these hard times. Secondly, I am aware I messed something up with the PDGA site. I have an email out to them to get it fixed up.

Congratulations to this week's winners. Shooting the hot score on the year so far and taking down the Open field was myself with a -12, 54. Adam Couture took down the win in Advanced with his 3rd win in a row shooting a -5, 61 while Tim Sladisky has gone back to back in Intermediate with a -2, 64. Chris Lachendro walked away $28 richer for his CTP on hole 8.

The CTP was open to everyone on hole #17 for a sweet dyed felon and the name on the card was Ben Zebriasky; however, I heard that someone was 2' away but didn't pay into the CTP pot so they didn't think that they were eligible when they really were. If this was you, let me know and I will declare you the winner of the disc.

We have a great relationship with the county and park and I don't want league to be canceled because people can't wear a mask for a short period of time when they may come in contact with other individuals.

Week 3 Results - 36 Players!!!

Wow! 36 players came out to league this week to enjoy the beautiful weather and well manicured fairways at Deer Lakes. This is by far our largest normal week turnout!

The hot round of the day was shot by Mark Fedorenko in Open with a 55 quashing the division with ease. Ryan Szoldatits and Adam Couture tied for the win in Advanced shooting 61s while Tim Sladisky took down the monster, 17 person Intermediate field with a 63. The big winner on the day was Dustin Schrock who absolutely parked the CTP on hole 11 and takes home an extra $33!

A quick deluge of rain couldn't cool down all of the hot shooting that occurred this week at league. Hot scores of the day were shot by Nate Langer in Open and Adam Couture in Advanced who both shot 11 under 55s! Currently sitting at an unofficial 990, this is Nate's 3rd highest rated round and Adam's highest by 20 points! Jesse Holeczy snuck out a win in the Intermediate division with a 2 under 64.

But of course, the big winner on the day was BJ Reiher who aced hole 17. For his thumber ace, BJ is walking away with a cool $115!

It looks like the rain will be passing over by time league starts so we will be off and going at 5:00. Obviously if lightening is in the area, the round will be canceled, but the forecast looks good right now.

Making his Open debut and shooting his best round ever by 30 points, Matthew Horrell dominated the open field shooting a -10, 56. Also moving up for the year, Zach Guiciardi eked out the win in Intermediate shooting a -6, 60. Finally Micah Beideman snagged the win in Intermediate shooting a -2, 64. Unless someone else beat him out, Eric Nichols took home the CTP on hole 2 for $24.

I think the easiest way to deal with payouts is to track it all until the end of the year and then pay out then to avoid going back and forth, but if at any time you would like your winnings, just let me know and I can paypal/venmo/cash you.

Man. It was awesome to see everyone back out at Deer Lakes for the warm up week. We had a total of 23 people come out! Congratulations to each of the division winners who won a $10 credit to be used for future weeks;
Open - Chris Lachendro - 58
Advanced - Brad Sauder - 62
Intermediate - Wyatt Jagger - 63

Next week we do it for real!

Warm up week - 6/8/2020

This week will be a warm-up week from the white tees with no entry fees. Tee off by 5:30, so please arrive before then. Winners in each division will win a $10 credit to be used as entry for future weeks.

I plan to arrive by 5:00 to send groups out as we have enough people to try to reduce the amount of congregating in the parking lot. This week will be a little messy as we won't have PDGA live scoring, but I am looking for folks to keep score on their scoring app of choice and to write down their scores on my sign-in sheet at my car after the round. Hope to see y'all out there!

There will be NO entry fee this week and I'll bring some discs to give away to the winners of each division.

We have the go-ahead from the park to start league play this Monday, so lets play some disc golf! This first week will be an informal week from the white tees before we jump into the rated rounds on 6/15. There will be NO entry fee this week and I'll bring some discs to give away to the winners of each division.

Unfortunately, due to the world that we live in now, there are going to be some changes to how league is run. Firstly, please take a look at the Requirements and Best Practices for PDGA Sanctioned Play During COVID-19 (https://www.pdga.com/pdga-documents/tour-documents/requirements-and-best-practices-pdga-sanctioned-play-during-covid-19).

The way that these changes will specifically be dealt with at league:
1) Cash entry and payouts will try to be avoided at all costs. To signup for a specific week of league, you must fill out the form located at the following link before noon on Monday (again, not required for this week) https://forms.gle/vYE2X4iYAhFvgny36
2) We will try to keep gatherings in the parking lot to a minimum. Once there are enough people for a card with enough players left over to form another card, I will send people out to play.
3) No paper scorecards. Last year was a good trial run for the PDGA live scoring and I thought it went extremely well. This year we will be doing only PDGA scoring.
4) No payouts after rounds. Since all money is intended to be collected through paypal and venmo, I will either payout after that week's round electronically, or I can keep a running credit through the year that you may use for future rounds.

I can't wait to see everyone out there!

Matt Rosier   May 31, 2020 at 8:46pm

Time to play some disc golf?

With Allegheny County going green next week, I expect that we will be able to start up league finally. I am going to double check with the park just to confirm that we aren't doing anything against their guidance, but I hope to have league starting up June 8th!

Matt Rosier   May 5, 2020 at 9:21pm

Still Postponed...

Hopefully no one showed up last night as the PDGA has suspended sanctioned play through May; therefore, official league rounds will start no sooner than June 1st.

Matt Rosier   March 21, 2020 at 11:46pm

Start of League Postponed

Unfortunately with the Covid-19 kicking around, the PDGA has suspended all events including league until the end of April; therefore, league will not be starting April 6th as originally planned. At this time, the plan is to get this thing up and kicking May 4th. Stay tuned for any changes.

Changes to the birdie pot for 2020

So, I was bored at work at some point last year and with the ability to look at all of the live scores, I dug into the possibility for each of the divisions to hit the birdie pot and found that there were some holes that just did not get birdied by some divisions. Therefore, I am changing the birdie pot to have seeded holes. This should even out the chances of the birdie pot getting hit across divisions instead of it just seeming to get hit by the open players.

I broke the holes into three ... more

So, I was bored at work at some point last year and with the ability to look at all of the live scores, I dug into the possibility for each of the divisions to hit the birdie pot and found that there were some holes that just did not get birdied by some divisions. Therefore, I am changing the birdie pot to have seeded holes. This should even out the chances of the birdie pot getting hit across divisions instead of it just seeming to get hit by the open players.

I broke the holes into three groups. The easiest holes are were holes 2, 4, 8, 9, and 14 which were birdied by the Intermediate field 18% of the time. The next grouping of 5, 13, 15, and 18 were birdied by the Advanced field 30% of the time. The remaining holes 1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 16, and 17 were birdied by the Open field 35% of the time.

So, for 2020 the birdie holes will be picked based on difficulty. The Intermediate holes will include two of the easiest holes, plus one of the middle difficulty holes, the Advances holes will add one additional middle difficulty hole, and the Open holes will add two of the most difficult holes. This means that Intermediate and Advanced will never have to worry about hole #3 coming up as a birdie hole, so y'all can stop complaining to me about that. :D

Based off of last year's stats, this should mean that Intermediate will have a 0.56% of hitting the birdie pot with Advanced having a 1.03% chance, and Open having a 0.98% chance. Hopefully this will give the Advanced and Intermediate divisions a little more of a chance to hit the birdie pots and more fairly distribute the payouts.
