Last Friday Night League - Lyons Den 5:15

Tonight is the last Friday night league and we will be playing Lyons den original layout. Thank you all for a great season, so far we've had 126 unique players come through the league, really remarkable for a first season go at it. I have some big plans coming for this fall, so stay tuned for those - you're gonna want to keep your Saturdays open ;)

The Return of Lyons Den Longs! -revised-

I was overwhelmed by the amount of support and number of players we had two weeks ago. I have listened to your recommendations and am making a few changes to the layout accordingly. Hole 2's tee pad will be shortened, making the hole closer to 380ft instead of 430ft. Hole 5's tee will be moved down into the valley and backed up against the road, turning the hole into a ~630ft par 4 playing down the valley on the drive, and up the hill throwing towards OB on the approach.

Hole 5's tee will be moved down into the valley and backed up against the road, turning the hole into a ~630ft par 4 playing down the valley on the drive, and up the hill throwing towards OB on the approach. There were some issues with people slipping on the tee of hole 16 having it on the road, this tee will become a hybrid, where you are able to tee off the road or the grass adjacent. The rest of the course will remain essentially the same, and I will be out tomorrow night re-mowing and re-painting the tees. Overall, the course par last week saw a 63pt improvement over the original tees from the week before, so I would call that a success! Hope to see you all again this Friday

Lyons Den Longs Tonight!!!

5:30 tee off tonight! We are playing the temp Lyons Den longs layout I setup this Wednesday. The layout includes 7 new natural tee pads (carefully mowed on flat ground), and 1 long basket placement. Looking forward to see you all there! Should be a lot of fun and I anticipate a 52 (-7) to be over 1000 rated, even in calm conditions!

Mosquitoes are bad at Kensington right now

Because of how bad the bugs are at Kensington right now, league this Friday is being moved to Lyons Den. We may even play an experimental longs layout, stay tuned for further info for that after I can walk the layout and figure things out

No League Today

As a reminder, there is no league today. We are starting the next league session next week.

Toboggan Shorts 7/15/22

We are back at toboggan this week playing the shorts layout. There is still no OB anywhere on the course except park roads. Dustin Turner will be signing people up starting at 430, feel free to start whenever you have a group of 3 or 4. $10 all in, all to divisional payouts, and the ace pool is still able to be hit if anyone laces that perfect shot tonight. Last card tees off at 530.

Derek Ballou   July 8, 2022 at 3:52pm

Toboggan tonight!! 4:30-5:30 flex tee off

We will be back at Toboggan tonight playing the long pads. In typical Friday night fashion, there is a chance of rain in the forecast, but it looks like it should be all passed by 6pm anyway, so don't let that scare you away!
Also, I want to congratulate our very own league regular, Jason Allmen, who is getting married today!!

LEAGUE CANCELED Today 6/24

Unfortunately because my wife and I are out of town for Am Worlds, and every PDGA official I reached out to that would be able to run it for us, isn't even able to make it to play tonight. So without someone to orchestrate, and many of the regulars confirmed they were not able attend, league is canceled tonight. We will be back next week Friday July 1st for more fun on Toboggan Longs!

Caryn Ballou   June 18, 2022 at 2:14am

June 17th at Tobbogan!

Today we will be at the Toboggan course! MPO and MA1 will be playing long pads. FPO, MA3, and rating only divisions will be playing shorts. I will be there around 4:30pm to flex start those who want to start early. Hard cut off at 5:30pm so we can finish before dark.
Rating only plays for $1, all other divisions play for $10. The full $10 goes into payouts tonight (i.e. no CTP/ace pool/PDGA fees tonight).

Derek Ballou   May 27, 2022 at 8:03pm

May 27th at Lyons Den! 5:30 Tee off!

We have some rain in the forecast tonight, but the chances have gotten lower and lower every time I've checked today, and you might not see rain at all if we finish before 8pm. Try to stay in a group of 3 tonight to keep things moving. The course was mowed this week so that should help. CTPs are on holes 6 and 9, ace pool starts at $314!

May 20th at Kensington South (Green) Longs!!

This week we will be out at Kensington South longs. I'll be there around 4:45 to flex start players who want to start early, last call at 5:25 to get the last card teed off by 5:30. CTPs on holes 4 and 10, and the ace pool starts at $280. This is the last week of the 10 week series before the TD report is submitted, so all 10 rounds will be reflected in the June ratings update.

April 1st at Lyons Den! 5:30 Tee off!

Thanks to the 24 players that came out to play Kenso south shorts last week. Radwyn Sawer and I shared the hot round with a 996 rated -10 (48). We had two $20 CTPs won by myself on hole 2, and Josh Barber on hole 6. Tomorrow we will be at Lyon's Den (James F. Atchison Park) for a fun round in a windy ripper's paradise!
I will try to get the gate unlocked so we can meet at the picnic tables by hole 9's basket, but if not, we will meet at the pavilion by hole 8 and the playground (if gate is closed, park in the lot of the police station closest to the pavilion). Hope to see everyone there!

Week 2 ratings / scores

Sorry for the issues with live scoring for rating only players. Everything should be fixed now and will be correct going forward. Ratings should be accurate now too

Kensington South shorts 3/25

Thanks to everyone who came out to the first week of sanctioned singles last Friday! We had 19 people despite the rain forecast, and Josh Tesch threw down a nasty 1036 rated -12 on North Shorts!
This week we will be playing South (Green) shorts, and we shouldn't run into any rain.
I'll be there at 4:30 again to flex start groups so we don't run into issues with daylight, and last card tees off at 5:30 sharp.
Hope to see you there!

Derek Ballou   March 18, 2022 at 2:28pm
