Mallards Hideout Doubles 9-22-19

This week we will be heading back to my place for some good old doubles. It is the last day of the summer so fittingly I will be ending this season of the league. I will link the fall league soon. The plan is to get into the mdgo and dgla and all that and get some berths.
Free round CTP for a disc this coming week, also, Ace pool is looking pretty nice. I'm streamlining the layout be about 20 holes with several par fours should be pretty fun.

Sandra Richardson 8-11-19

This week we heading to York township to check out Sandra Richardson park. The brand new course is 5 minutes from rolling. I know I know, it only has four holes, but, I checked them out and they're pretty fun. Also, they all offered long and short tees. I'm thinking we could do five loops, two from the longs and three from the shorts. That would be 20 holes and should play decently fast. The following week on the 18th sounds like we're going to be going to moose Meadows

Willow singles 6-30

Last minute change of plans, sorry. We will be heading to willow metropark tomorrow, 6-30. The word is conditions at willow are good, unlike previously anticipated, and it will be hot and sunny, so staying in the shade at willow will be favorable over the openness of Mclouth.

Ben Ciccarelli   June 19, 2019 at 12:59am

Lakeshore 6-23

Summer is officially here, and we're kicking it off at beautiful sunny Lakeshore. This week I'm switching up the format. If enough people show up, I will randomly assemble cards for night moose open style dubs. I have a 21 hole layout in mind. It is the normal 24 hole layout with the front letters from shorts, but with three combo holes. (4-5,11-12,16-17). Trade partners every 7 holes, so if you're in a foursome you'll end up playing with all of your cardmates. Individual scores will be recorded for payouts. Should be a blast, hope to see you out there.

Ben Ciccarelli   June 16, 2019 at 12:40pm

6 - 16 Concordia round postponed until 2 p.m.

I am postponing today's round until 2 p.m. to avoid the rain. Sorry if this may be an inconvenience for you. I felt this to be the best move given the situation.

Ben Ciccarelli   June 12, 2019 at 7:25pm

6-16-19 Concordia University!

I'm setting up a temp course at Concordia University in Ann Arbor this week. It is going to be epic. If you are a fan of fun you should come on out.

Rolling Hills 6-9 Singles

Im hearing the new course at Rolling (Rolling Meadows) is still very rough. I don't know if any work will be done by Sunday. I figure sunday morning we can take a consensus with whomever shows up and decide whether we want to play the new course or the original, as it stands we will likely play the original. Hope to see you out there.

Ben Ciccarelli   June 4, 2019 at 6:46pm

Rolling Meadows singles 6-9-19

Congrats to Nate Wegryn taking the w out at Northridge last week. I really enjoyed the redesign of the course and highly recommend checking it out, I'll definitely be headed back soon. This week 6-9 we are heading to Rolling Hills to check out the new course, Rolling Meadows. I'm really looking forward to seeing the fruits of all of Foz's hard work. Hope to see you out there.

Lakeshore Singles 5-26-19

Ben Calhoun continues his colonization of Lakeshore's property with new holes w1, and w2. These new holes will be included our singles layout this coming Sunday 5-26. The layout includes holes 1,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,W,W1,W2,X,X1,X2,Y,Z,16,17,18. About half of the holes are universal tees so i figure well play longs on the holes that have long tees. Should be fun hope to see you out there.

The planned layout is 28 shorts modified down to 24 holes by combining A-B, 11-12, X-Y and 16-17 (Same layout as the NMO dubs we played a few weeks ago). I'll prepare some cards to help folks keep on track. See ya out there ;)

Willow singles Sunday 4/14/2019

Thanks to Dave, Jim, and Nate for coming out Saturday for some NMO format dubs. It was a blast. I managed to squeeze out the W with a one stroke advantage over Jim who only lead Nate by 1. It was a tight race all the way through the final hole.

Next Sunday 4/14 we are heading to Willow for singles. We will play a modified short tee layout. The traditional 24 hole layout will be altered to 21 holes by combining 5-6, 11-12, and 21-22. See you out there!

3 souls came out to lakeshore to brave the snow and wind last week. Tyler M proved himself impervious to the indian winter conditions and shot the hot round.

Next Saturday 4/6/19 we are heading to lakeshore to play a Night Moose Open style dubs format.

3 souls came out to lakeshore to brave the snow and wind last week. Tyler M proved himself impervious to the indian winter conditions and shot the hot round.

Next Saturday 4/6/19 we are heading to lakeshore to play a Night Moose Open style dubs format.

For those not familiar, Night Moose Open dubs is played like normal dubs except you will change partners halfway through the course. Cards of 4 players each will be randomly assembled. Players of each card will flip for partners on the 1st hole, then, halfway through the course, players will flip again for new partners (halfway though will be different for different groups in shotgun starts). You may not have the same partner again for the second half of the course, so flip until everyone has a new partner. The score of the individual will be taken for payout.

Lakeshore 11:00 tee.
Layout is what would normally be 28 shorts, but modified to 24 holes via combo holes, which are A-B, 11-12, X-Y, 16-17 (1st hole's short tee to the second tee's basket). This should make for a relativley fast round that still features some challenging par 4s.

Hope to see you out there
