Glow Tomorrow 4/13/2011

Weather is looking nice, I'll be there. I've re-arranged my schedule a little bit and should be able to make Wednesdays work for a while longer. Joe Arnet and Ben Calhoun will also step in and help here and there, so let's keep this going!

The new summer league has been created and it is here: (so this is the last news post I'll make from the winter league page)

Glow Tournament Final - Posponed to March 30

Well after much deliberation I have decided to postpone the league final one week, based on the extremely poor conditions at Bandemer Park. All of the MDGO Berths and CTPs will be held for Wednesday March 30th. Let's hope for better conditions and a good turnout.

We are still on for a regular league night tonight. I will be there.

Glow 2/23/2010

So we have some more snow.. and a new look to DG Scene. Can't wait to see how this league post will look in the news section.

Red-white this week, tee pads are clear, and apparently the ever reliable Tim W has shoveled the pads in a timely manner for our mutual enjoyment. Thanks Tim!

Weather is looking OK.. High of 32, low at night in the upper 20s. This is like spring weather compared to normal. Speaking of spring.. Including tomorrow we have only FIVE league days remaining. The final winter league day will be March 23rd. Cheers!

Joe Arnet will be taking the monies this week as my job is taking me away on Wednesday. Don't forget those glove this week it will be on the colder side. 8 degrees at 6pm with a chance of snow. Cheers!

Deeper - Bandy - 2/2/11

This week if the reports are correct then we can expect to have deep snow conditions for Wednesday evening. Glow is definitely ON, we have never canceled due to weather and we won't start now! Expect to play reds, maybe whites, we'll make the call tomorrow night based on overall conditions.

LED lights are mandatory for this evening. You will not be allowed to register if you plan on throwing glow plastic. I don't see this as a problem for the regulars though. :)

Let's see those ballerina moves in the "overbearing mother" of cold January weather tonight. Did that make any sense? Well I just saw Black Swan last night and it was pretty good, so a reference to it is necessary. Anyways, not sure how the pads are looking out there but tonight is on and White-Red is the plan. It will be either myself or Joe Arnet running it if I can't make it (still 50/50). Hope to see all the die-hards out tonight, it should be a good night for some ... more

By the way this league WILL have four berths for the 2011 MI State Finals to award. Keep racking up those points to get yourself in position to win a berth!

Glow 1/12 - Thou Shall be Stoked

Your royal glowness will commence on the eve January 12th in this year of the lord 2011.

We will play red-white this evening. If one of the royal subjects uses the holy shovel and the blessed salt then please send a swallow to alert the villagers. Cheers and good day sirs! The winner(s) this evening will be knighted at the hands of Sir poops-a-lot.

Glow 1/5/2011

hope you all enjoyed yourselves on new years now it's time to get back out there for some glowin (or LEDing if you want to get technical). Who will have that "True Grit" this Wednesday? Temps should be in the mid 20s at tee time with a 50% chance of snow. Layout this week hmmm, I'm thinking we change it up with Blue-White. Adios!

Glow Stoke 12/29

New Year edition glow is ON tomorrow evening. I don't have to work in the morning so I'm up for playing all 27 but we can put it to a vote.. All tees are now clear thanks to the local greenskeepers. Maybe we will see a few more players this week because of that holiday vacay. Merry Christmas!!

Glow Stoke 12/22

23 degrees and snow at 7pm tonight. 22 degrees by the finish at 10pm.

Welcome to the Christmas Edition of Bandemer Glow. Should be nice conditions for the round this evening.

There will be some give-aways tonight, with me being in the giving mood. I have a "Discilanti Open" T shirt size large which is a highly prized collectors item among some other goodies. I don't know.

We should be playing blue-red if the blue pads are in good shape, otherwise it will be white-red.

Reg closes at 7 and as always give me a shout if you are running a few minutes late.

GLOW STOKE - Double Points!

Tomorrow it will be kinda cold, in case you haven't realized it yet the weather has turned! Now is the time for the true die-hards to crawl out of their caves and slap on those LED lights to throw some plastic in the snow. But the cold means double points, both in the MICPS and the Glow league point series. Double points whenever the temp drops below 15 degrees with windchill included.

We will play white-red tomorrow. Ben C has (maybe) shoveled the pads today, but if not I plan to g ... more

We will play white-red tomorrow. Ben C has (maybe) shoveled the pads today, but if not I plan to get out there early with some salt and a shovel. Please post on the scene if you know the condition of the pads right now, it would be nice to know.

Wednesday Night
Partly cloudy. Lows 5 to 9 above...with wind chills around zero. West winds 5 to 10 mph.

More news: Washtenaw County Glow will have berths to give away to the MDGO State Finals Tournament in Ludington, MI. These berths will be awarded based on overall standing in the league. More details to come soon.

Glow This Week 12/8

We are going to push back the start time to 7pm this week and see how people like it. I suspect we may get a few more players with a later start time. This week we are on and yes it will be cold but the ground is still mostly clear of snow. Let's get glowing!

Scott White   December 1, 2010 at 11:28pm

Glow / Snow Tonight

For all of the players that typically use glow plastic you may want to look at using LEDs tonight. We could have some snow accumulation on the ground which makes the finding of glow plastic and arduous task at best. Send me a message if you need some advice on how to get the LED stuff. Above all make sure your lights are taped on in a warm room temperature environment before you get to the park. Having the right gear can make the difference between a slow frustrating round time and a great round. Cheers!

Get Yo Glow On - 12/1

Good thing we are not playing tonight! Tomorrow, the first of December looks to be OK weathe-rwise. At seven PM it will be just below the freeze level or minus two centigrade for you metric fans out there, with a fifty percent chance of snow. So come on out and glow in the snow (flurries). Ace pool is at fifty four dollaz and it's already been hit twice this season. Layout is blue-red.

Glow Stoke for 11/24

Night before thanksgiving, most people have the day off.. Should we play the full 27? Post your thoughts in the Talk section.. I will not be there this week, Joe Arnet will be there to take names and distribute the winnings. It will be up to him and the players to decide the layout.

Points are now accumulating in the Winter MICPS. 13 leagues and counting state wide.

This weekend is always a good for disc golf.
Wednesday night: GLOW of course
Thursday: play a morning round with the family! Or go to Lansing to play with Scott Ransley.
Friday: ACE RACE at Hudson Mills. Be there, it is always a good time. Reg closes at 11am.
Saturday: Saturday Doubles at Indy Lake should be big this week, no tournaments going on. Reg closes at noon.
Sunday: Kensington Doubles should be pretty big this week also, but it always is. There is also a tournament at Rolling Hills this weekend but it's full already.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Glow Stoke

We are finally starting to get those low temperatures typical of November. Snow will be on the way soon but for tonight we are looking clear with temperatures in the low 40s during the round.

We start again at 6:30 tonight and we are going to play Blue-White 18 holes. This is the last week before we start the Michigan Cooperative Point Series Winter. I will add some CTPs tonight for the good LED lights from the Throw Shop. Ben will also have some for sale. Three nights away from a full moon, so we should be well lit...

Recap

Good night of glow last night.. Nice to see the new and familiar faces out throwing LEDs and glow plastic.

Congrats to Ben Calhoun who pulled the "U-pick" which allowed him to pick his partner. He smartly chose Bob uh, Smart and they shot a perfect -9 on reds on their way to a respectable -13 winning score on whites and reds.

2nd place team Dan Lee and Justin Holley (-12) were buoyed by an ace by Dan on hole 8 reds. This is not an easy hole to deuce much less ace so NICE sh ... more

3rd place and last cash was Brooke P and Tim W winning the CTP throwoff to hole one.

We finished around 9pm so for those of you on the fence about coming out, you will be home by bedtime :) If we ever play more than 18 holes it will be announced well in advance.

Winter MICPS Point Series will start back up in less than two weeks. First glow league round to count in that will be 11/24.

Also cheers to "Mint Berry Crunch" for sending the evil Chtuhlu back to oblivion!

Glow Recap - Stoke for this Week

Last week saw a good turnout on a blah night with some rain towards the end of the round and cold temperatures. 15 players on the blue and red layout. Bob Smart and Chris Westphal took the victory, with 13 out of 18 holes birdied. Scorching hot! Ben Calhoun and Anslie Newman were 2nd with a -11, and last cash went to yours truly and "Taco" Bill Flores with a -10 including an ace on hole 7 red.

Good to see some new faces out at Glow and hope you all can make this a regular thing that grows and glows.

Don't forget to pick up those LED lights for when the snow starts to fall. Ben Calhoun and the Throw Shop have the best lights I've used so far. Tape it on once for the season and forget about it. Easy to turn on and off and easy to see the disc at night. I use them on all of my discs and I will never go back to the bobber lights or glow plastic.

This week we are at Bandemer, 6:30pm start as it will be for the rest of the season. Red and White layout this week. Point Series rounds will start in two weeks!!
