Doubles teams will be drawn using two pools to pair advanced players with newer players so that teams are evenly matched. For this series participants earn points each week based on performance. Our top three players in the points series at the end of the season will earn prizes to be supplied by the Founding Flyers. This points series is FREE to all that wish to play. To make play more fun and interesting players have the option of buying in for any of the following extras. To get in on all the action the cost will be $5 per session.
ACE FUND: For $2 per week players may opt to contribute to the ace fund pay out.
Players must have submitted their money to the ace fund prior to tee off in order to be eligible. Should our ace fund reaches $100 it will be capped and a secondary fund will be started. If both the primary and reserve fund reach $100 the weekly fund will go uncapped until a player hits a hole-in-one. Should multiple aces be hit on the same round players will split only the current fund. If a single player tees off twice (due to having an odd number of players) and hits an ace on the second shot this player will earn half of the available ace fund.
CTP PRIZES: The Flyers will put together two (2) closest-to-the-pin prizes (CTP's) each week. One will be for prizes and the other for cash. Prizes for our CTP's will be provided by the Founding Flyers and will include discs, clothing, pint glasses, accessories, and other disc golf-related items. This CTP winner will get a choice from all the prizes we collect. Donations to the prize bin are welcome at any time for those that wish to contribute. The weekly cash CTP will be dependent upon how many players come out to our league rounds and decide to add to the purse. The cost will be $2 per session (or $1 for each CTP). We will pick shorter holes for these CTP prizes so that anyone could win during any given round.
THROWING FOR DOLLARS: Finally, we will have a throw-off for dollars following each doubles round. The cost will be $1 and all those that pitch in will get one throw to win the amount collected for the week. The distance will be short enough for a putt-and-approach shot so anyone can take down the pot.
The Founding Flyers will end the series with a player's party for our 2nd Annual Putnam County Classic on August 29th. Ten percent (10%) of money collected for each weekly league will be set aside for the club. All proceeds will go to hosting our players party and developing our courses. Additional details will be provided closer to the conclusion of our summer doubles series.
Play will be scheduled each Thursday evening weather permitting. Should inclement weather occur and force a round to be canceled the weekly round will be omitted and subsequent rounds will follow the set schedule. Updates will be provided on Disc Golf Scene and Facebook to keep our club informed on any changes that may occur in a timely manner. Meeting times are set for 5:00 PM and tee off is set at 5:30 PM. To help league administration provide a positive experience for everyone we ask that players show up on time for play, bring exact change, follow the rules of the game, show good sportsmanship on the course, and have as much fun as possible!
