End of Season 1 - The Battle for the Berth

We finished up our first 10 week season with the Roller Derby Round at lakeshore ponds on the shorts. I had ranges of feedback from this was fun and we should do it again, to I don't think rollers are for me.

Either way we are on to season 2 - 5/24/23-8/15/23 - 12 weeks. Points reset to zero and we are playing for prizes now! (discs, baskets, bags, gift cards, etc..)

Season 2 is more Saggy Britches Disc Golf, but with even more fun games.

Season 2 is more Saggy Britches Disc Golf, but with even more fun games.

To kick of the season we are at Melvindale Riverfront and we are going to give some opportunities to hit that ACE POOL with putter roulette on the shorts.

Putter Roulette: Everyone brings a putter, we put you into a 6 card (like a 6 shooter) and each hole you use 1 putter, after that hole you pass that disc to the next person and you get someone else's putter.

3 speeds and below are fair game



Tentative League Schedule- Will be in UDisc as well:

1. Melvindale Riverfront - Putter Roulette
2. Cass - straight up random doubles
3. Star-Jaycee - Ript Revenge or similar
4. Lakeshore - Golds Safari Layout
5. Freedom Park - Glitch Mob - (buy or borrow a glitch 1 disc challenge)
6. Independence Lake - bag swap
7. Rolling Hills - Fozzy Dice Round - yes we do have a trophy for that
8. Kensington- Backwards Round (putter off tee, driver in C2)
9. Cass- Midrange Mayhem
10. Palmer- Caddy Challenge
11. Northridge- High / Low Doubles
12. Wagner - Mentally Unstable (all discs thrown must be understable (turn + fade < 0)

This is subject to change depending on weather and ideas / suggestions from league members

Week 10 - For the Berth - Roller Derby

4:30-5:30p Flex Start - Lakeshore ponds, you have to throw a roller off each tee pad, if the disc is deemed to not be a roller by your card you throw another at no penalty until you successfully throw a roller.

After the tee shot play as normal.

Normal OB applies on or over rock walls, in water, over the fences or on parking lot.

Week 9 Recap

For the prove it drive round we had a strong field, and newcomer Ben Steskal finished out with a 53 leading by 5 strokes.

In our AM State Championship Race for the Berth - it's tight between Brett and Cody, Brett edges out a nice lead after this week. (I'm not taking the berth even if I win)

Anything could happen in our last week of the 10 week series to compete for the Berth.

Week 8 Recap

Thanks to the 12 brave souls who came out in the 40 degree rain to play a round with some Ultimate Discs.

We had a tie at the top between Shane J / Sean D, I heard there we a lot of missed putts because these things are a little different to put with.

There were a handful of metal hits for Ace unfortunately none dropped.

CTP Cash - Jason H
CTP Merch - Metallic Z Ringer - Cody M

Next week - Prove it drive at Northridge.

Week 8 - Lid Round!

This is a true Saggy Britches Classic, playing disc golf they way it was invented with big ol discs. We are playing 2x around the Red's at Bandemere with Ultimate Frisbees (175g Ultra-Stars or something similar) we will also be putting with the Frisbees too, so no need to bring extra discs.

No disc golf "catch" discs, no glitches, Pa-5s, sonics, etc... No 200g discs, no Big Kahunas, Only 175g Ultimate Discs.

If you don't have one, Todd and I have at least 6-7 extras so don't worry. I'm sure if Max can make it he also has a stack from his former Ultimate days.

Week 7 - Recap

We had 18 players out to Mary Beth Doyle to play disc golf the way we all started playing, with way too fast of a disc on way too short of a hole. (spoiler alert maybe that's how you make more aces)

Mikey P (hole 10) / Dylan W (hole 3) / Shane J (hole 2) all hit aces, congrats!

We had Todd C with the hot round at -9 winning the Adapt Disc Golf donated Force, Mitten Bag and some other goodies.

Mike O - won cash CTP for $17

Week 6 - Wagner Fairway Frenzy

Thank you to everyone who made the trek over to Wagner. It was a BRISK Michigan evening. The course was in pretty good shape. There ended up being 12 of us. Thank you Steve for helping out in Sean's absence.

Hot round was E shot by Gavin King and Nate Barton. The Cox brothers were next at +2. Witnessed some great throw-ins on my card.

CTP's
Hole 4 - Merch - Gavin King
Hole 15 - Cash - Nate Barton

If you thought this week was difficult powering down fairways, next week is DRIVERS at Mary Beth Doyle!!!! 11 Speeds and UP until C1. See you out there!!

Week 5 - The Hill Safari

Thanks to all that came out and played with the awesome weather we had 26 folks come out and enjoy the warm weather. It was a packed house with our league, walkers and other casual players.

I know on our card we had a couple ace runs almost rung up and I heard about a few others, someone has to hit one soon.

We had some good shooting Sean finished at -7, Gavin at -6 and Cody at -5.

Cash CTP - Tom S
Merch CTP 1 - Chris K - Disc, Hat, Towel

Week 4 - Putt Putt Recap

We had some nice warmish weather and 25 people showed out to come and throw a bunch of discs they don't normally throw in the woods.

Congrats to newcomer Jason K for joining us for his first round and finishing in first at -4 on the shorts. Cody and Ryan were right behind him I'm sure a couple bogeys were all that separated them from first place.

Jack Deyonker - Cash CTP - put the cash toward next week (also first timer)

Ryan B - (wife is having a baby today!) - merch CTP Innova Firefly - don't be surprised if they name their baby Firefly.

Week 3 - Bag Swap Palmer Park

Happy Monday everyone, up this week we have a bag swap round. This is a great opportunity to try out some new discs from you friends bags.

We will be playing shorts so plenty of birdie and ace opportunities and we plan send off 4 person cards, and there may be some benevolent bag swapping, we will try to avoid you getting a bag similar to what you throw.

*****MEET IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE 12TH PRECINCT POLICE STATION BY HOLE 7 OFF 7 MILE ROAD****

If you have a special disc or collectible disc you don't want people throwing make sure you swap that out of your bag before the round, but obviously no sabotage.


If you're running late let me know and I will wait for you.

Week 2 Recap 3.21.23

We had a good showing of 22 players to brave the Foz. Thanks to all who have gone to the past couple volunteer days there it's way better than it was.

We will invite everyone back to come help on the next volunteer day. We may rent a wood chipper and brush hog to do a bit more clearing tbd.

Now for the round results: Cody came out and shot a white hot -7 for first place and Shane shot a -4.

Cash CTP went to Scott F - on hole 17

We had a couple cheers for near aces and a basket hit by Shane, keep it up.

Next week we have Palmer Park shorts for a bag swap round.

We will try to do 4 person cards for that one to get a good mix of bags. (No sabotage, just bring your regular bag, and if you have a special disc you can't afford to lose take it out and replace it)

Week 2 - Rolling Hills Fozzy Mids

This week we are doing a midrange only round (4-5 speed) at the recently cleared out Foz and it's supposed to be warm out!

Rules are pretty simple but I'm sure I'll have questions anyway:

1. You can only use midranges until you are in C1
2. You can use as many discs as you want
3. C2 putts you'll have to putt with a midrange

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there, we received the rest of our prodigy order. $20 for league membership and $15 for each addition ... more

Even if you don't throw prodigy it's still a good wall hanger because it is Saggy Britches "First Officially Stamped Disc"

Week 1 Summer League Recap 3.14.23

To celebrate Pi Day we had some Little Caesars for everyone who came out.

Ryan B came in first after deciding to turn his round into a 1 disc round with the buzzz

Jay B came in second using a white disc in the snow

Dale C came in third with a nice handful of park jobs and smart plays.

Week 1 - Starter Pack Challenge - Lakeshore Woods

There’s lots of excitement about our first travel league round tomorrow. I’ve had a couple questions so I’ll clarify some confusion

- 3 discs only (no more)

- the mold must come in a starter pack so no buzzz OS if the starter pack only offers a buzzz

- if the disc isn’t on the starter pack list just bring proof it comes in a starter pack if you want to use it

- You can use any grade of plastic you don’t have to throw DX you can use champ or star

- You can use any grade of plastic you don’t have to throw DX you can use champ or star

- Don’t lose a disc it will become much harder to score well, but if you do you can run back to your car and grab a replacement (trying to avoid people bringing a full bag and potentially using multiple discs to keep it fair)

-Flex start 4:30-5:30 as long as you have a 3-4 card we will send you off
