League tie-up

Thanks for coming out this summer, everyone! Hope too many people didn't finish in the dark last night.

Payouts for week 10 will go out in the next couple of days. The ace pot will roll over to the winter league since it's just $13.

Speaking of, I've sort of mapped out the calendar to avoid this darkness issue towards the end. Winter leagues will start on Saturday, November 20, and if we do two leagues of 10 rounds each, we'll finish the first week of April. If we sta ... more

Winter leagues will start on Saturday, November 20, and if we do two leagues of 10 rounds each, we'll finish the first week of April. If we start "summer" leagues the LAST week of April, we can get 20 weeks in and finish the first week of September rather than the third week.

My tentative plan this winter is to do the first league with pools, like this one, and then once we have all that good data for how the courses play in the winter, I'll do a points-per-stroke handicap league for the second winter league.

Week 10 Peter's Creek

Just a reminder to sign up if you're going to be able to make it! We're starting at 6pm sharp!

Week 10 Peter's Creek - FINALE!

Just to update again, remember we will be starting at 6:00pm, no exceptions, this week. Sunset is at 8pm, so it's gonna get dim for those last few holes, even if we start on time. Let me know you'll be there, and if you're arriving after 5:45 but before 6, also let me know - I don't want to have to reshuffle cards at the last minute.

This league was a learning experience - I'm going to try and get 20 weeks of summer league in next year too, but I'll try to shift it a couple weeks earlier in the year so that we don't run into darkness.

I'll get payouts for last week (including Dan Allen's ace!) out later this afternoon.

Week 10 Peter's Creek Survey

I regret to tell you all that out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. That's right - the summer is rapidly receding, and the daylight with it. We may have to start next week at 6pm so we're not playing in pitch dark. Does that work for a good number of people?

Week 9 - Davis Park

Headline: cards will be set at 6:15, and tee time is 6:30 sharp! The official sunset today in Anchorage is 8:23, so we don't want to be finishing in the dark. If you're not here by 6:15, you need to text me, but we're starting at 6:30. Let me know if you're coming - looks like it's going to be dry yet again this week. We've had good luck on Tuesday nights!

Congrats to Jake Haskin for taking down A Pool AND the ace pot last week! New ratings are out this week, so it's possible you moved up or down a division. If you want to play in a division higher than your automatic one, let me know BEFORE the round starts.

Week 8 - Peter's Creek

Sorry about the delay getting payments out to folks from last week - just did all the Venmos, and Paypals will be coming through in a few minutes.

Week 8 is at Peter's Creek - we are going to start at 6:30 sharp from here on out, because the sun has started setting earlier these days! Be there by 6:15 so I can make up the cards...if you're going to be later than 6:15, try and let me know. Also try to keep your group moving so we don't have to play the last few holes in twilight.

Week 7 - Davis Park

Get your monies in! It's miraculously another beautiful August day; not many of these (beautiful, but also August I suppose) left! That ace pot is looking ripe for the taking, too...

Week 6 Payouts

Week 6 payouts posted - I'll get them actually paid later tonight. Just a note, I didn't mention that we're not doing any playoffs, even for first place. Last week Jake and Brian played off, and because they sort of mutually agreed that this was for first, I'm going to do the payout as if Jake won (congrats!), but in the future, you don't have to do a playoff for ties.

Joe Caissie   August 24, 2021 at 8:11pm

Peter's Creek - tonight!

Last reminder to sign up for tonight - I see some blue skies outside my window, so don't let the weather stop you! I was out there on Saturday and I don't think I saw a single mosquito.

Joe Caissie   August 24, 2021 at 2:10am

Week 6 - Peter's Creek

Good news everyone! The forecast for tomorrow is down to "scattered showers". Under the birch leaves of Peter's Creek, you won't even be able to tell if it's raining. Hope to see you all out there!

Joe Caissie   August 17, 2021 at 5:36pm

Week 5 - Davis Park

Just a reminder to let me know if you're coming out this week! Looks like the rain will be ending this morning so we can get a nice dry round. Come out and learn whether I remember how to hit a gap after a weekend down at Birch Ridge.

Joe Caissie   August 11, 2021 at 8:37pm

Payment methods

This is partially for record-keeping, but also an announcement: if any of the following people want your payout electronically, please sign up for Paypal or Venmo. Otherwise I'll get you your cash when I can, to the nearest dollar...I haven't yet paid out the following people from weeks 3 and 4:

Justin Dunker
Adam Cooper
Andrew Rodgers
Wil Harrison

Joe Caissie   August 10, 2021 at 5:04pm

Week 4 - Peter's Creek

Hi, folks, I just got back from my trip late last night, so I'll be getting payouts from Week 3 out soon...probably tomorrow or Thursday WITH the Week 4 payouts.

But let me know if you're coming tonight - looks like the rain will be clearing up just in time to get a good round in at PC.

Joe Caissie   August 2, 2021 at 6:41pm

Week 3 - Davis Park

Just a reminder to let me know if you're coming as early as possible this week! Tee time is at 6:30. I will be out of town, so I will be doing random hole assignments remotely, and obviously I won't be able to take cash in person, so if you need to pay in person, please find someone with Venmo or Paypal who can pay on your behalf.

Week 1 and 2 Recaps

Sorry I didn't do week 1 earlier! It was raining, but 11 folks still came out, and shot pretty good if I say so myself. Lots of 51s, which was the hot round in both A and B Pool. Jake Haskin, Justin Dunker, and myself tied for first in A Pool, and Rod Stepp took down B Pool solo. Ratings were pretty brutal, IMO, and they'll probably improve once other rounds are added to the mix (when the league is submitted finally).

Week 2 had great turnout and great weather, 15 folks. The ace ... more

Ratings were pretty brutal, IMO, and they'll probably improve once other rounds are added to the mix (when the league is submitted finally).

Week 2 had great turnout and great weather, 15 folks. The ace pot drama was ended early, on the first throw of the round, by Chad McCaffrey, who took the local route on hole 1 to splash into the basket. First ace we've had since the final round of winter leagues!

In non-ace news, Joe Caissie played a bogey-free round to take down A Pool. Rod "one" Stepp "ahead of everyone else" took down his second straight B Pool with a 53. Kristin White pulled off the 7-10 split of leagues, managing to finish in both first and last place in C Pool, with an extremely solid 59.

VERY tight scores this week, with over half the field shooting either 54 or 55. Feels like that's pretty much what I shoot every time I come out to PC. Hope to see you all next week at Davis!

Week 2 Reminder - Peter's Creek

Hi, folks - Peter's Creek tonight at 6:30. Try to let me know if you'll be there and pay ahead if possible. Ace will be paid $150; spillover goes into the next ace pot!

Joe Caissie   July 19, 2021 at 10:30pm

Week 1 - Davis Park

Hey folks - just a reminder that we're kicking off this league, with a fat $137 in the ace pot, Tuesday at 6:30pm at Davis Park. Let me know if you're coming - $8 for ADGA or MSDGA members, $11 otherwise. Paypal and Venmo instructions are in the "about this league" section above.
