I want to start by thanking you all for coming out to keep playing disc golf through the winter with us at Saggy Britches. I feel like we've all gotten to know each other pretty well and it's been really cool to become friends with all of you.
We had 51 players come over the course of the last 5 months and consistently had 14-20 people.
We had our Ace Pool hit twice this season once by Chris K and once by Sean D.
We gave out hundreds of CTPs (discs, shirts, hats, minis, ...

ONE MORE WEEK!
We will do our awards ceremony at Lakeshore at 7:30pm 3/14 next to the parking lot. Once Todd is back we will put together the bundles for league top finishers.
We had a good group last night, it was a little cold and cloudy, but not too windy. There were a lot of groups that shot really well despite the cold this week Mike O / Sean D took first by a stroke (congrats Mike on his first 1st place finish), Gavin K / Cody M were hot on their heels at -10.
Jay B - cash CTP on 2

Jeff G -- won CTP on 1 for the cash
Thanks all who came out, I believe I have the points corrected to how they were before the standings look correct.
End of season awards ceremony will be at Lakeshore on 3/14 after the first Summer League round (~7pm) in the parking lot by the store.
Hey everyone as many of you know after daylight savings time we switch to our travel summer league, it's free to play, with optional ace and CTP buy in. We do unconventional rounds and it's all about having fun, the details are on the other league page.
We will be awarding 1 Amateur State Championship Berth based on point accumulation within the first 10 weeks of the league. I've added everyone to the league, but in case you need the link it's here.

Great turnout last night everyone we had 20 people so just enough to pay out 1st, 2nd and 3rd. We played longs and shorts, it was a little muddy and windy but we had some good shooters regardless.
Jay B/Chris K - first with a -12 Sean D/Eric K second with -11 and Gavin K/Mike K in third with a -9.
Cash CTP - Max B
Merch CTP - Jay B - Glow Wraith donated by Holden's Party Store
It's looking like we should have a nice warm round for February tomorrow, as long as it's not pouring we will do long & shorts.

We had quite the battle at the top this week, with adverse conditions, slippery tee pads and a little wind Jay B/Jason H, Nate B/Gavin K, Chris K/Max B all tied at -7 and they threw off CTPs for cash and took 1st, 2nd and 3rd in that order.
Nate B after hemming and hawing decided to buy in for CTPs and ended up taking home the merch CTP
Sean D took the cash CTP
Also if you have the CTP marker in your bag or car please bring it next week, it was picked up from hole 8.
Hey guys I know a couple of you saw me at Willow Wonderland this weekend, but I just got back from beautiful desert weather on Wednesday and now have my computer so I put in the past two weeks of scores and points should be updated.
Looking forward to seeing you guys Tuesday, tee off at 6p!
We had 14 people show up for a round of LONG/LONG. The winds were down and the temps weren't too bad. It did steadily drizzle all night long.
Newcomer Nate Barton and Cody Martin took down 1st place shooting -6. We had a tie for 2nd between Jason H./Mike K. and Jay B./Todd C both shooting -5, Jay B/Todd C won the CTP throw-off for sole second. Justin W/Dave C -4, Travis W/Gavin K -4, Jeff G/Pat C -3, Joe C/Mike O +3. I'd like to thank Nate Kalowick/Thursday Night Dubs for donating ...

We had 14 brave souls that come out Tuesday to brave the weather. It started as a decent day, but turned very quickly. We played 2 rounds of shorts. We also had some more new faces. Thanks to all that keep coming out.
Jay B and Cody M shot hot round -10 for 1st place. Jason H and Max B were hot on their heels -9 for 2nd. Jeff G took home the cash CTP and Jason H won the Merch CTP.
See you ALL next week!
Hello, we had 14 people come out Tuesday for glow.
We ran into an issue where there wasn't a score card kept for a group of 6. Unfortunately we will not accept any VERBAL scores. We will also not accept +/- scores. You need to provide a TOTAL score for the round, and you will need to score every hole. These are OUR rules because this is a points based league along with payout. If there is no scorecard, then there is no record of you playing. We are also a UDISC league, if you don't ...

An additional thanks to Jay B. It is great to have someone step to ensure we can get out and seek our joy in tossing round plastic circles.
I know most of you guys are already registered but we'd love to have you join us if you aren't. Should be a good time to relax with friends and try to make some Aces.
We are doing a custom Ace Race course layout with a ton of super short holes (Ace Race Layout) on Udisc.
Only $15 to play 100% goes to payouts (Par = 1 nothing hit, Metal Hit = 2 points, Ace = 10 points) so even if you just hit cage a few times you've got a good chance of taking home some cash.

You get to use ALL your OWN discs as well!! Lots of holes under 100'
We had 8 folks make it out in the rain last night and despite the conditions Mike K/Chris K and Randal E/Jeff G both shot -9 and Mike/Chris pulled out a win on the CTP throwoff.
Jason H won cash CTP and Jay B won the discs (thanks Mike and Mike for bringing discs)
Thanks Jay for running league for us this week and next week.
12/20: we had a good showing and tons of generous donations for the Taylor Homeless Shelter (Christnet) they really appreciated everything you guys gave them.
Jay B / Gavin had a solid -10 and Sean D / Chris K came in second at -6
12/27: Had a couple familiar faces out we haven't seen in awhile and a new member Norm Copeland.
Jay B / Todd C won with another solid -10 and Mike K / Eli R came in second only by 1 stroke at -9.
Reminder for league tonight if you bring items of the list in the last post or men’s clothes for the homeless shelter it’s a free CTP entry.
See you guys at 5:45p
Todd and I discussed wanting to do something special for the Holidays with our league.
We decided we want to help the homeless shelter in Taylor, so if you bring supplies off this list we will mark you down for a free CTP entry for next week 12/20 and the following week 12/27.

I spoke with Debbie regarding what supplies they need, here is the list she gave me:
1. Cases of bottled water
2. Body wash

We had a bit of a chilly night but had a strong showing of 14 people who were out to have a good time and make some birdies (and some bogeys).
We had a close finish for 1st and 2nd place coming down to Jay B / Jason H having to par the last hole to maintain their 1 stroke lead over Joe C / Randall E.
Welcome Gabe as one of our new comers as well.
Randall E cleaned up CTPs this week on holes 1 and 2, merch was a t-shirt and lanyard and the cash was $15 so a nice way to round out the ni ...

We should have a clear cool night tonight we have 9 short and 9 long as the layout.
We had some good shooting last night to pair with the good weather. We play 18 short so ace opportunities were in play and I know on our card a handful were close.
We had 3 teams tie for first at -12 (Gavin K / Randall E), (Kid S / Matt S), and (Todd C / Sean D) we had a CTP throw off on hole 2 long for the larger share of the cash, and cash was won in the same order stated above.
But close on those 3 teams heels we had two -11 scores and a -9.
We finished the round around 8:45pm ju ...

Looks like it's going to be another great night to play some glow disc golf in the dark. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Please get there at 5:45p if possible for check in.
Also if you can get there around 4-4:30pm I'll be moving the mulch by 9 long with the help of a couple of you. I'll have my wheel barrow and shovels, but another wheel barrow will help.
Thanks.
I made it Short Short again tonight, since it is calling for rain around 9:30/10
I wanted to give a shoutout to all that came out Sunday for a cold sunny day of disc golf. The last tournament on the Willow original layout. RIP. We had a HUGE SB turnout for MA3 and one in MA4.

We had a crowd a whopping 22 people and a total of 5 cards, everyone played at a good pace even the 6 card and we wrapped up by 8:40p playing the short 18 layout.
We had a tie at the top between Jake A/Brett M and Sean D/Randall E both at -9, they elected to split the 1st and 2nd place winnings. Third place was Eli R/Tom S only 1 stroke back from that first place team.
Cash CTP- $24 (better than winning first this week) - Eli R

Everyone's Favorite Layout 18 shorts tomorrow.

Weather is showing a HIGH of 52!!! Come out and GLOW!! FLYMART 5pm-5:30pm
Although we had repeating numbers in the date, we didn't have any repeating partner names like we've had in the past (Mikey/Mike or Aaron/Aaron)
We ended up with great winter weather for glow, pretty dark conditions (if you ignore everyone's front porch lights) and no wind which allowed for some good scoring conditions.
Brett/Sean started out hot on the front 9 getting 8 of 9 birdies and cooled off on the back 9 but with enough cushion to hold on to first and finish at -11. ...

We had a triple CTP night with the entire 18 hole layout:
Randall E - took home the big cash CTP
Sean D - took home the hybrid team Warden and T shirt CTPS
We had another tight race at the top with Gavin K/Jacob P chasing down Sean D/Brett M to tie at -12, with Brett parking the throw off to take home first place cash. Honorable mention to Travis / Joey at -6 and Dave / Eli at -5.
We are playing the special 18 hole safari layout, it’s a good time during the day and even better at night.

We had a nice group of 15 this week and some "killer" weather. We played 9 short and 9 long and had 4 cards spread out fairly well to keep the flow smooth.
We had a battle at the top with Steve/Gavin and Sean/Mike at -12, Kid/Brett and Eli/Chris H at -10. We did a CTP throw off on hole 1 to determine winners of first and second place and Sean/Mike snuck in a bit closer than Gavin/Steve to take home the larger share of the prize money.
Merch CTP was a hat and disc - Sean D on ...

Spooky Halloween Glow Round tomorrow - if you wear your Halloween Costume for the round you get a free CTP Entry!
Tee off at 6pm at the Hill
Results from last week, BIG THANKS to Tom for running it in our absence.
Chris and Chris kept the trend of matching name doubles teams winning at-9, Kid/Mike were not far back with a -7 and Tom/Eli were hot on their heels at 3rd place.
Mike and Mike unfortunately broke the streak of matching name doubles teams winning, but at least it was easy to remember everyone's name.
We had 10 people brave the cold and rain for a fun glow doubles night.
Even though we did the long 18 hole layout there was some good shooting right out of the gate for Gavin/Travis and Kid/Randall and they finished -6 and -7 respectively.
Gavin won the cash CTP on 6 long
Travis won the merch (Color Glow Henna Bloomroos Roc3 and the Dynamic Discs hat) on 8 long
Thanks to all who came out. Next week Tom Stamper is going to run it while Todd and I are in Austin for the NADGT tourney.
Looking forward to seeing some of you guys we haven't seen in awhile, we are back with our second round of glow. It's setup for 18 long so the door is open for anyone to score well in doubles.
We had a great night to play glow, it was 70 degrees and no wind. Welcome our new comers Eli R and Nate K it was fun getting to play a round with a couple new folks. We played short 9 / long 9.
Sean D/Chris K went 9 for 9 on the shorts and missed a couple putts on the longs to end at -11 and as impressive as that is Eli and Gavin went 12 for 12 to start and ended at -16! That's a new doubles record for the league.
On the last drive of the day from the long tee Gavin snagged the Me ...

Check out the "About this League" section as we've made some changes from last season.
Our first round will be Tuesday 10/11 so charge up those batteries and get your glow tape ordered!
Twas a fun league. Having a downriver, winter league option was a real win!! Thanks to Sean and Todd for putting in the work. There is a lot more to running a league than most suspect. Thanks also to Jay B for stepping in for a week or two. Great season and great league.
Really appreciate everyone's participation. We do it ALL for you guys. Try to provide a friendly format for everyone to enjoy. Mikey has Bag Tag's going. IF you get an invite or WANT an invite, reach out to Jeremy Tindall, Mike Pilon, Sean Dietrich or myself. I highly suggest playing. It's a great time and where this all started :)
