You don't have to be present to win it (though Jen will probably charge you for storage if I have to bring it back home for another week).
Here is everyone that will be entered into the drawing: Bill, Matt Bury, Shawn, BJ, Jen T, Kyle, Randy, Jen P, John, Matt Bates, Stefanie.
Here is everyone that will be entered into the drawing if they come on Saturday: Brian, Floyd, Leti, Lisa.
So you'll have a 1/11 to 1/15 shot to win a MVP practice basket.
I will print everyone ...

We are heading to BRATS this weekend to finish our season at a fun and beautiful private course. I ask that everyone brings $2 to donate to Terry for letting us play. So that would be $7 to play and $9 to play and Ace pool. The address is 5171 Waters Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48103.
We are playing from the Reds & Whites.
The swinging basket will be in effect and swinging for holes 9 & 18. Each team will also be responsible for doing 9 holes of scoring. Once the scorecard is in my hand it ...

If we have a free pass for Brats can we use it instead of making a donation? Such as a punch card from The Throw Shop.

I'm passing them out at the first week of the summer league June 3rd at Rolling Hills. I'm not holding discs, it'll be first come. See you Saturday!
We are going to Water Works this week to play 2 rounds of 9 from the shorts. CTP will be hole 5 and Longest Putt will be hole 6. You have both rounds to try and win it. For CTP, Juan has donated some really cool dyed discs for CTP. Birdie Bonus holes will be 3 & 9 the first round and 4 & 8 the second round.
See you Saturday!

Summer league has a disc golf scene page here: https://www.discgolfscene.com/leagues/Chasing_the_Chains_Summer_2017
Here are the 2 rule changes for that season, NOT THIS SEASON:
1. We will do teams based on total standings. Whoever has the lowest points (men or women) will get to pick their partner and work our way up until everyone is picked. We won't do highest guy with lowest woman anymore. There is no limit to how many times you can be teamed up with someone but you can't be t ...

I got it down there in Week 3. Are you talking about the leaderboard? If so that only updates the finishing points since disc golf scene doesn't do bonus points.
Lee and Joe N had 30 foot putts at rolling idk if you got them down or not for the extra points
I had them down for you and Joe, so I'll get that switched over to Lee. Thanks
We are going to everyone's home course this weekend, the rolling hills of Ypsi. This week the CTP winners will take home a Dynamic Discs Slammer with a special stamp from Infinite Discs. I'm doing something a little different too. For the women the CTP will be hole 7 and for the men CTP will be hole 13. Longest Putt will be hole 16 for both.
There are 3 weeks left to get your 5 plays in and this is where you stand:

What holes are the birdie holes? Im thinking 4,6, 12, and 18 would be good.
Ok cool. I wont be there this week. Playing Daywalkers Doubles tourney. If it finishes early enough ill be there.
For the summer season I'm looking at starting June 3 and going until July 29. Saturdays meet at 3:30 throw at 4. That'll be 9 weeks.
August would be a break from league play but these are what I had for playing that I'd hope you join me.
August 5th - Ace Race at Water Works. We try and hit some aces together and then we go get Chinese food then go back and get our awards if any of us hit Aces.
August 12th - Off Week or Make up week

No, only if you want to play. The summer league should be done the last weekend in July then we'd take August off and start back up in September.

We'll be going to Northridge this weekend! Hole 15 is CTP. Hole 14 is Longest Putt. The Birdie Bonus holes are 3, 8, 11, & 12.
Ace pool is growing strong!
The course will probably be muddy and wet so wear your boots or water proof shoes or bring a change of shoes.
Remember you have to play 5 times to be entered into the basket drawing. There are 4 more weeks to get your 5 weeks in. Here's what everyone has so far:

Yes we will most likely get wet, we will meet at 3:30 at usual, and if it is pouring we will let the rain pass. We will only be playing 1-18, and if we will go from there.
I'm doing what I can to have our league stamped discs in time for our first week of the Summer league on June 6th. To do that I need to have what discs people want or kind of discs. All of the options are in the comments on our league page. Go there and see if there's anything you want and comment what you want. A couple of people already have but some more opinions would be welcome. I'm not going to guarantee that I'll get the disc you want but if you tell me then I'll do my best to get what everyone wants.
Or you'll be stuck with choosing from what I order and then you can't complain.
I meant the comments section of the league page and we're getting Discraft discs.
We are playing Lakeshore this weekend. I'll be changing the schedule to reflect that. If it's raining, we'll play, if there's lightning we'll see if it will pass and then play or not. If we don't get to play Saturday we can talk about moving it to Sunday.
Pass this along to those who don't read this.
Thanks,
Ben
This will be much closer for people playing Battle of the Bay, so I LOVE this change Ben!! Thank you!
I went to Freedom yesterday and it's a mess. If you go in the woods you'll be walking in a foot of water. The tee pad for 2 plus 10 feet behind it and 30 feet in front is under water. And with rain in the forecast for the end of this week and into Saturday it's going to be worse.
I'm getting permission to play at Lakeshore instead since that course handles water nicer than most. If that doesn't happen then we'll be playing Bandemer. As soon as I know for sure I& ...

Bandamer gets pretty bad after the rain too. Tee for 7 is usually flooded out. I would recommend lakeshore or mary beth doyle or even rolling hills.
I had to switch Rolling Hills and Northridge around since there's a tournament at Rolling Hills on the 6th. We also are confirmed to play BRATS for the last week of the season. Don't miss that.
So May 6th is now Northridge and May 13th is now Rolling Hills.

Ace pool is at $102. (Payouts as follows, 1 time = 50%, 2 times = 60%, 3 times = 70%, 4 times = 75%, 5+ times = 80%).
6 weeks left to get your 5 plays in to be entered for the basket drawing. Also check out the comments section of the league and let me know what disc you want for our custom stamp.

Here is what the rules say about the Ace Pool: Ace pool is $2 per week. If you’re a regular of the league then you win 80% of the pot. If you’re new then you win 50% of the pot. Showing up at least 5 times will be considered a regular. The remaining money stays in the pot for the next ace hit.
I'm going to change it to be this:
If you've only been once then you win 50%.
If you've been twice then you win 60%.
If you've been three times then you win 70%.
If you've been four times then you win 75%.
If you've been five or more times then you win the 80%.
Any questions let me know.
Hey everyone, I'm not seeing any events at Kensington next Saturday except ours on disc golf scene so if you have a link to any event happening on Saturday send it to me.
Right now we'll still plan on going to Kensington and will probably do groups of 4 next week and try that out.
I'll have scores posted later this evening.
Don't forget to bring your Bag Tags today.
The Streamline discs I ordered made it here and will be the CTP tomorrow. These have a sweet dragon stamp on them and you're going to want it. I also have the Sketch for the disc stamp that I think you all will love.
Also bring 5s and 1s tomorrow. I don't have change and if everyone brings me 20s I'm just going to keep them as a tip (/sarcasm).
I've got the first sketch back from the artist and I think it looks awesome! Come to league this weekend and check it out!
If you guys hadn't noticed yet, the picture we took on Saturday is on the pictures link. It's the biggest turnout we've ever had!
Also I have an artist for our stamp and they're working on a couple of ideas. If you have any other ideas post them in the post from yesterday or the comments.
I'm in talks with a couple of artists about designing our custom stamp and would like some input from everyone. I've got a few ideas swirling around in my head that I think will look cool but I want your ideas as well. Comment here or in the comments with your ideas too.
Make the running basket the main picture...take out the guy and focus on the basket...its very cool and just that pic alone justifies the group name.. Chasing the chains
I don't think that the streamline discs that I ordered for the CTP will be here this week because of the upcoming holiday. If they aren't, I will have another disc to give away this week and will give the streamline discs at our next CTP prize week.
We are heading out to Independence Lake this week for 24 holes of fun. Here is the address: 3200 Jennings Road W., Whitmore Lake, MI, 48189 (Independence Lake County Park).
CTP will be hole 7. I'm giving out a couple of the new Streamline discs from MVP this week. The Longest Putt will be hole 8. The Birdie Bonus Holes will be 4, 9, 10, & 18.
Ace Pool is now at $78 so you'll take home at least $62 if you hit an ace this week.
There are 7 weeks left and you have to come to 5 different weeks to be entered into the basket drawing.

Last week was wet and muddy but we still had 11 people out to play and have fun. No aces but a couple of metal hits. Ace Pool is now at $58.
This week we are going to the Gulch. Here's the address but you may need to put Whitmore Lake in the city instead: 10559 Merrill Rd, Hamburg Twp, 48189.
CTP will be the Gulch hole which I think is hole 14. Longest Putt will be hole 17. The Birdie Bonus holes will be 5, 7, 10, & 13.
This is how we'll do teams. If no new women for this ...

We are starting at Willow this week. They just put up a sign that it's now $3 to play all day and you're supposed to pay where you pay to park. Remember meet at 3:30 and tee off at 4. Bring your bag tags and $15 to start.
It's probably going to be wet so bring a pair of shoes to change into afterwards.
This week I'm giving away a couple of DX Rhyno's for CTP and for the longest putt with everyone I'll be giving away a Winter Wizard disc.

Hey everyone,
I want to get custom stamp discs this fall but I want something jaw dropping that will make people want our stamp. I want it to have our name on it somewhere and then just a cool stamp.
You have until August to submit your ideas or if you know of any artists who may be willing to do a cool stamp let me know their costs and a sample of their art.
If we pick your stamp then you will get 3-5 discs of our stamped disc and everyone will get one with their league fees.
Start working on some designs. I've been liking skulboy lately if you want some ideas.
What kind of basket is it? Black Hole pro?
