6-3-2012 Handicap

Wow! FIVE CTP's? Each one $10. I do not have the list of all the players that won, but what a good day to come and try the handicap for the first time. Justin Schueller did that and he went home with a $10 CTP and $50 for an ace on hole 12. Good first day. Congratulations Justin! Justin took his winnings and went to the store. He came back with cold brew for all those who stayed for doubles. Congratulations to all of you that took home cash and thanks Justin for sharing the wealth. See you on Sunday.

If you were at our most recent handicap event on Sunday, you heard from Patrick King and Joe G. regarding the installation of a new course in Tampa. Patrick is asking for our support in helping with the installation of basket sleeves and tee pads. This will be the very first public course in Tampa and from what I hear, it is located on some beautiful acreage located on the hillsborough river.The date for help is Saturday March 24th starting at 9am. If you have any shovels, post hole diggers, or possibly an auger, please bring them. You will need at park up at the entrance where there is an old baseball field. From there you will need to walk North towards the Hillsborough River. It is an open field for the first 200 yards before you enter into the trees, down by the river. The name of the course will be "King Oaks Canopy Disc Golf Course" for the sake of all the live oaks that are on the property. This is where the course will be.






Here is the address:

3-4-2012 Handicap

One word: WINDY. Tom Martin tamed the wind, took home first place and the girl scout cookies CTP donated by John Fleming. Jeff Hawley continued his winning ways and took second with Albert ( BAA ) Bonilla taking third. Brian Zygmunt's rested arm threw the $10 CTP. The park is closed next week for spring break, so take a road trip and play one of the other courses.

Mike Schweitzer   February 29, 2012 at 7:14pm

2-26-2012 Handicap

Keeping it in the family, this week it was Jeff Hawley's turn to take home first place. Adam Brown took second and Bob Counts got third. Jeff Bone put his disc within a foot of hole 3 and got the CTP. While visiting from New York, Curtis Bayer came back to throw with us. Great seeing him! Gary Duke was away competing with his dog and they set a new record. BIG CONGRATULATIONS!

Mike Schweitzer   February 21, 2012 at 12:26am

My Mistake!!

I incorrectly posted that John Fleming had hit the first ace for this season. Back in October Brian Zgmunt hit the first ace. SORRY! Congratulations to you both.

Mike Schweitzer   February 21, 2012 at 12:21am

2-19-2012 Handicap

Congratulations to John Fleming , not only did he shoot an excellent round on a windy day that was good for second place, he also hit the first ace of this season. Jacob Hawley is improving and took first place. Todd Cronk showed Aaron that he too can bring home the cash with a third place score. Scott Collipp and Bob Counts hit the money CTP's and Albert Bonilla got the third CTP, a book signed by it's famous ( and now rich ) writer. Welcome to our new players, Robert and Colleen Hegyi and thanks to Gary duke for bringing them out.

2-12-2012 Handicap

On one of the coldest days we have had this winter, I am proud to say that we had a good turn out for the handicap. John Fleming did not let the extra layers of clothes slow him down and he won first place with the lowest score of the day. Steve Szykulski continued his winning ways by taking second place and the CTP on hole 17. Aaron Cronk also had a good day, taking third place and the CTP on hole 6. Adam Brown's very first throw of the day was good for the CTP on hole 12. Welcome to our newest player, Ruben Vega. Thanks to eveyone for coming out and keeping our handicap strong.

Bob Counts and Eddie Kirksey have added new ways to make our league fun and organized. Be sure to let them know you appreciate their efforts. We have 36 registered players and so far 19 of those players have taken home a payout. That is 53%. Since the CTP's were added, 9 different players have hit one. That is 25%. These are great numbers for a seasonal league. Lets continue to make this our best season yet.

It is so great, sunny mid 70's at the end of January, I hope all our northern friends are jealous. We had three new players added this week. Scott Collipp, Jacob Hawley and Mike Ousley. Welcome to all of you! It was an especially good day for Jeff Bone. Jeff took first place and won a $10 CTP. Albert Bonilla took home some beer money with a second place finish. Al Ford did it again with a third place finish and a $10 CTP. It was a good turn out today, lets keep it going. Super Bowl is next week but there is plenty of time to play handicap before the party begins.

Congrats to all. Welcome to a new player Bill Mauge. There was a spirited and fun doubles round after the handicap with very close scores between the teams. After some unfortunate tree hits by the leading team, Eric and Steve were victorious. The park will now be closed until 1-8-2012 and we hope players will still get together and play at some of the other great courses nearby. Next Sunday 12-10-2011 lets try to get together at Medard Park and play some doubles. Same time, 10:30. Medard Park is on Turkey Creek Road just south of Hwy 60 going toward Plant City. If you have not played there, you will be in for a treat at a challenging course. To get us started again in January on our first Sunday back, we will double the ace fund payout to $100 and we will have a buy-in ctp for $50. So keep your skills up, enjoy the holidays and come back with your game.

Another beautiful Florida day in November provided the right combination for Patrick Rush to throw one of his best rounds and come away with first place. Chuck Cole put out his best effort this season and came away with second and Jeff Bone put his drive about 5 feet away from hole 8 which helped him take third and win the $6 CTP. Mike Schweitzer won the not so CTP on hole 1 for $7.

Mike Schweitzer   November 1, 2011 at 7:47pm

Putt night

Next week the darkness will come early. This will limit playing time for many of the players to just weekends. I would like to find a night and a time where we can get some players together at the practice basket next to the intramural fields on campus. I have an idea for some team putting competition and would like to see if we can develope a fun way to get some practice. Please let me know if you would be interested and what night and time would work for the most players.

On a breezy day, John Fleming found his game and took first place.

10-23-2011 Handicap

This week there was a smaller turnout ( 12 Players ) due to the Orlando Tournament. Bob Countz won first place. Albert Bonilla won second place and Al Ford took third place. The $10 CTP was won by Bob Countz ( good day for Bob ).
With 22 players now qualified, expect bigger payouts for the top three in coming weeks! Also, the Ace fund should hit its cap of $50 next weekend. When that happens, more $$ will go to the CTP's. Look for 2 $10 CTP's next Sunday!

Next week begins league play with 5 players qualified. Prizes for next week will go to the top 3 qualified players. Those that have not qualified will have a chance to win CTP money. As of now the Prize Bank is $50, which will go toward CTP contests going forward, and we have another $25 added to the Ace fund. Aside from a cash CTP, next week if you would like to donate a disc, any disc, we will have a hand-me-down disc CTP. If you participate and win, you will win a disc from everyone who participates. Great way to get rid of some old discs you don't use. Someone could end up with 20 discs!

New Season!

Today we began the 2011 / 2012 Season with a good turn out of 15 players. Everyone is establishing so a winning pot was available to be won after the round was completed. The top three scores did a CTP to hole 1 and anyone else who wanted a chance could pay an additional $2 and get in the CTP. A wise investment by Chuck Cole and a good shot sent him home with the first pot. Congratulations Chuck! It was a little windy, but I am not sure that was the reason for some poor scores.

I am sure we will see many of these scores improve. A good doubles match followed the handicap with three teams within a stroke of each other. Bring your friends out and lets get some bigger numbers of players.
