Last comment is special congrats to Trevor Staples, who SMASHED hole two for an ace and took home 20% of our ace pool. It was an absolutely pured shot. Great freakin' shot, Trevor. Who's next?

Since Brad's new gift of brevity has left most wanting for more, I shall gladly fill in.

Next week is indeed at Lakeshore and is Canada Day. Yahoo, a celebration of our hockey and beer loving brethren to the North.....well, South. Scott White, a huge disc golf maven, in Ontario was kind enough to exchange club swag with us. So we will have a few CTP's.

We will have a 3 buck mystery CTP, our normal 2 dollar dues and 3 dollar ace pool. I think I will throw in an extra CTP or two for another 2 bucks. The 2 dollar dues includes the normal disc and cash CTP. So, 10 bucks all in.

Brad has taken off for the land o' thousand lakes, so it will be just me this week. Look forward to seeing you all out there.

I have been told by some that my posts have gotten a bit long. So, for the sake of brevity, this past week we had an ace winner for some of the ace pools funds, we had a few CTP winners and we had a good time at Mary Beth Doyle. Next week, July 1st (Canada Day), the round will be at Lakeshore. Thanks for your time.

Benjamin Demory    June 23, 2021 at 11:15pm

See you tomorrow for the reunion.

This week we will be back at Mary Beth Doyle.

Last week we played to honor Iceland's Independence Day. We had a special CTP in out efforts to do the day proud. I am sorry to say that no one was able (willing) to recite a poem for the 10 bonus points being offered. Pity. But, the ctp winners included Mike Magner (Viking drinking horn) Joe Pavlovich (travel guide of things to do in Iceland) and Dave Setty (volcanic T-shirt).

Last week we played to honor Iceland's Independence Day. We had a special CTP in out efforts to do the day proud. I am sorry to say that no one was able (willing) to recite a poem for the 10 bonus points being offered. Pity. But, the ctp winners included Mike Magner (Viking drinking horn) Joe Pavlovich (travel guide of things to do in Iceland) and Dave Setty (volcanic T-shirt).
The regular ctp winners were John "I'm here for all the CTP discs" Wilson and Steve "oh good, more cash for the retirement fund" Nolff. Well done one and all.

And, just a suggestion. Every now and then we offer up a multiple prize CTP, like we did this past week. We had 5 prizes to give away. Problem is, we only had 3 entrants. Now, it would seem to me that the first card out would have at least the first 3 to 4 spots on the CTP sheet, wouldn't they?? So why not put your name on the list? You know, get the ball rolling so we can give away all 5 prizes instead of me having to give Steve a pack of fish jerky while he is out camping and hope the skunks and raccoons don't get a whiff of it. Although that would have been hilarious.

This week is the anniversary of the first sighting of flying saucers. We will have a special free and open to all CTP to honor this most momentous of moments AND a special gift for all who show at Mary Beth Doyle this week. AND, we will have a 50/50 cash CTP as well. Plus, it is our last week of milk at the rounds courtesy of #milkmeansmore. As you all know, milk, it does a body good. We would like to take a group photo of everyone hoisting a carton of milk before the round begins. I'm fine with pictures of the cards with the milk before they head out. The more photos, the better.

And for those of you that have stayed this long, I want to remind you all to go out and support our sponsors. With the lifting of the restrictions, it just became a little easier. And don't forget, bonus points are still on the table for those of you who want them. Just take a picture of yourself and a staff member from Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, Shake Shack, Blom Meadworks, a dairy farmer, a bartender at Ann Arbor Distillery and the new sponsor, soon to be announced. They have helped us, let's return the favor. And let me know if I have forgotten someone, please.

Hope to see you all at MBD this Thursday. Thanks.

i have cookies!

brad chartier    June 14, 2021 at 11:15pm

This week we are back to Bandemer for a round of Reds and a round of Whites (just let me know when you want me to throw in the Blues)

Three big winners last week. Anthony Vasquez won the Mystery CTP. In case you all forgot, last Thursday was the anniversary of the date the ballpoint pen was patented. Our very own Steve Nolff took home all the cash (that we had to offer). And John Wilson won the disc CTP.

This week, on Thursday is the date that Iceland gained its independence from Denmark in 1944. To celebrate, our Mystery (so much for the mystery) will feature Iceland. Everyone will get an Icelandic flag, while supplies last. And the CTP will have room for 5, count 'em, 5 winners!!! We were unsuccessful in connecting with a club from Iceland for the disc swag swap, but, we were able to put some stuff together.

I did do a (very) little research into how the folks in Iceland celebrate the day. A poetry recitation caught my eye. There is always a poetry recitation. So, the person who recites a poem at the end of the round will receive a few bonus points, point total to be determined. So get out the volumes of poetry that I know you have just laying around and get to memorizing. And, absolutely NOTHING that starts with "there once was a man.......... nope, can't let it happen.

It is also National Dairy Month and since no one brought cookies last week, well, you get another chance this week. Please. We're running out of weeks. And we still need to know who is in for the sundae bar on July 15th. Both the milk and the ice cream are courtesy of the United Dairy Industry of Michigan #milkmeansmore. Many thanks to that fine outfit.

That's it. Hope to see everyone at Bandemer. Thanks.

brad chartier    June 9, 2021 at 11:41pm

one more time. Hudson Mills, The Original tomorrow. It is also a Discmania Takeover Night with a special deal on a very limited number of Discmania discs. Also, still in need of cookies because it is still National Dairy Month. AND, it is also the day the ballpoint pen was patented.

And I just heard from Scott White, my new bestest Canadian friend. Earlier this year, we, as in A3, put out an appeal to see if any club would be interested in swapping boxes of club swag so we, and them, wou ... more

And I just heard from Scott White, my new bestest Canadian friend. Earlier this year, we, as in A3, put out an appeal to see if any club would be interested in swapping boxes of club swag so we, and them, would have new discs and such for CTPs and the like in this era of the Great Plastic Shortage of 2021. Scott just communicated with me that he has dropped a box of "stuff" in the mail from the Windsor-Essex Disc Golf Club. You do realize of course that TWIZBEE will be playing on July 1, Canada Day. We will do what we can to help them celebrate!!

Hope to see you all at Hudson Mills, The Original tomorrow.

Steve Nolff    June 8, 2021 at 5:28pm

Well.....TWIZBEE is all caught up. The "double" points from Don's Monday night league have been added and the Mary Beth Doyle numbers have been crunched. See everyone out at Hudson Mills.

brad chartier    June 8, 2021 at 11:01am

This week in TWIZBEE. We will be at Hudson Mills, The Original.

It is also a Discmania Disc Takeover Night. Special deal on a very limited supply of Discmania discs. Sooo, get there early.

It is still National Dairy Month with a refreshing and energizing treat at the end of the round. Still looking for someone to bring some cookies. Please?? It is also National Iced Tea Month AND the day the ballpoint pen was patented so watch for a special CTP in honor of that.

Next week in Iceland Independence Day. We will have a special Viking-ish CTP. (Instagram). Also, from what I can gather, part of the celebration is a recitation of a poem. So, bonus points to anyone who, after the round, has the courage to recite a poem in front of the gathered masses. Please, if possible, provide a paper copy for the judges to follow along with. And the poem SHOULD NOT start with "There once was a man from Nantucket....". We WILL DEDUCT points if that happens. TWIZBEE prides itself on being somewhat family friendly.

July 15. St. Swithins Day. Also, Sundae Bar Day at TWIZBEE. Please start letting myself and Steve know if you are going to make it that day so we can start working on an order. Thanks.
Hope to see you all at Hudson Mills.

Another great week of disc golf is in the books. A rugged round at the always challenging Mary Beth Doyle Park and Nature Area. Steve, myself and a couple others believe we saw a pair of Osprey checking out the marsh area until they were chased away. Oh, the fun and adventures to be had at MBD!!

Congratulations to our CTP winners this week. Nick Haskins won the Mystery CTP, which for Nick, is still a mystery. Mike Magner was the $20 winner in the cash CTP. Dan Connochie won the disc CTP ... more

Congratulations to our CTP winners this week. Nick Haskins won the Mystery CTP, which for Nick, is still a mystery. Mike Magner was the $20 winner in the cash CTP. Dan Connochie won the disc CTP.

I want to once again thank the United Dairy Industry of Michigan (milkmeansmore.org) for providing us with refreshing and invigorating milk as a post round snack. They will be doing this after each round this month to help celebrate National Dairy Month. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, we were not able to have cookies this week. But, if someone should feel the need to donate a box or two, they would not be refused. I mean, why have just milk when you can have COOKIES too. Oh, and watch for more details for the Sundae Bar July 15th. If you can make it, please let us know so we can place the order.

Next week, the 10th, is our Discmania Takeover Night. As with the other two we have done this year, special deals on a limited supply of Discmania discs. June is also National Iced Tea Month so there will be a special treat for all (or most) attendees. AND, it is also the day the ballpoint pen was patented. I tried to get a Twisbe pen (yes, they are a thing) but was unable to get in touch with anybody at Twisbe. Their loss.

June 10 we are at Hudson Mills, the Original. Hope to see you all there. Thanks.

Do you guys have any tie dye twizbee shirts left in a 2xl? If so I will be at league tonight and would like to purchase one

brad chartier    June 2, 2021 at 11:00am

This Thursday, MBD!! And, there are a few dollars in the ace pool. Sounds like a magical evening.

Thursday is also National Egg Day so watch for a special treat out on the course. You shouldn't have to hunt for them too hard. Also, a special egg themed Mystery CTP.

June is also National Dairy Month, so, with the help of our friends at #milkmeansmore (the United Dairy Industry of Michigan), we will have a special post round treat. Not only this week, but every week in June. An ... more

And remember, Milk. It does a body good!

CTP winners from last week include:
Mike Magner cash for $18
Joe Pavlovich disc
Alex Shane the very special Paulie CTP
Craig The Blimpy Burger Mystery CTP of a hat and a gift card.

I want to thank all of our corporate sponsors. Without you, this league would be a lot more boring than it is. Thank you. And players, please go out and support our sponsors. You do get extra points for taking that selfie with them. Get all the points.

brad chartier    June 1, 2021 at 10:15am

I know I have been quiet for a few days and I apologize for that. I think we are lacking a couple of scorecards from our past adventure at Bandemer. Please make sure you get those sent in. My contact info as well as Steve's is in the "About" section. Thanks.

brad chartier    May 27, 2021 at 12:03pm

tonight, Bandemer. Also, celebrating the first running of the Preakness. Bring your most favoratist ultimate disc. I have some to loan out, but will need them back, just in case we do something else with them. I have tape and I have little horses. You can keep the used tape and the horse. Tape a horse to the top of your disc, kinda like a reverse jockey situation. We will throw down to the basket from the white tee on #8.

We have a pile of prizes from the Baltimore area, the home of Pimlico and the Preakness. You will have a chance for some practice throws while Steve and I finish the round. This should be interesting.

And, of course, if you sing the song referenced below, BONUS POINTS!!

See you tonight.

This week. A round of Reds and a round of Whites at BANDEMER. CTPs will be from the white tees only, so, second round.

We will be celebrating the first running of the Preakness this week. If you have a favorite Ultimate disc that you really, really like, bring it along. At the END of the round, we will let you tape little horses to the top of your disc and throw it as far as you can from the white tee on #8. The one that goes down the hill to the basket and the backstop. We have a bu ... more

At the END of the round, we will let you tape little horses to the top of your disc and throw it as far as you can from the white tee on #8. The one that goes down the hill to the basket and the backstop. We have a bunch of Baltimore and horse racing prizes for the closest jockeys. So, when the round is over, don't trot off. You are only part way to the finish line.

Jumping ahead. June is National Dairy Month. With the help of the United Dairy Industry of Michigan, we will have a refreshing treat after each round. Similar to what the winner of the Indianapolis 500 receives at the end of that race. Jumping even further ahead, did you know that St. Swithin's was a fan of sundae bars?? It is a little known fact, but it's true. Of course, over the years, that fact has been lost. St. Swithin's Day actually has something to do with rain in the U.K. Probably because it rained on the Saint's sundae bar when he set it up for the villagers after a long hard day in the fields. Sure, nobody remembers the ice cream, just the rain that turned it all to white slop (only had vanilla, back in the day, as I recall). So, please save the date of July 15. And let's hope it doesn't rain, dammit.

Also, as Trevor pointed on the latest Instagram post, the league coordinators are on the course league nights as well. So, if there is a problem, find them. Please. Or call them. Or text them.
We don't know about problems if you don't tell us. That is all. See you Thursday. Thanks.

Another week in the books, and, another appearance by the Mystery Discer, aka, The Interloper. For this upcoming week at Bandemer, if you have one, wear a tie-dyed shirt. Don't ask any questions, I'll explain later.

This past week we celebrated World Bee Day. Our Mystery CTP had 6 prizes attached, but, alas, we only had 4 winners. That means we will have 2 carryover prizes for our takeover of Don's sanctioned league on the 31st.

Nick Haskins was 4th closest and will get a St. Ambrose University Fighting Bees (yes, it is a real thing) T-shirt. Taking 3rd was our own Paulie Whitmore. For his efforts he will get a Bright Farms hat and tote bag so he can impress everyone at Whole Foods or Better Health or 7-11, wherever he gets his grub. Steve Nolff took home a Bright Farms water bottle. Thank you Bright Farms and thanks for helping us celebrate National Salad Month. And the Mystery CTP winner was Tyler Kinley. Thanks to Blom Meadworks for donating the gift card and glass in honor of World Bee Day. Just a reminder that players do get extra points by frequenting our sponsors. A selfie with an employee of Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, Blom Meadworks, Shake Shack and the Throw Shop gets you a bonus point.

There, the shameless plugs are done. Our cash CTP winner was Brian Guo for $18.00. Our disc CTP winner was newcomer Aron Griffis who took home an ABC Discs Beeline, because it was World BEE Day. And Alex Shane won the FREE CTP, a $15.00 gift card to Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger. Many thanks to Rich and the crew, who I hear is rather photogenic.

Also, watch for the big announcement tomorrow regarding the Monday Sanctioned League, aka, Lightning Don's Fan Club. PLEASE try to make some time on May 31st. You will not be disappointed.

brad chartier    May 19, 2021 at 10:27pm

Just a TWIZBEE reminder. Rolling Hills tomorrow. Busy night. It's World Bee Day. Krazy Jim's CTP. Prodigy Disc Takeover. You won't want to miss this one.

Marc Chalkline    May 17, 2021 at 4:48pm

What a fun group. In past played Wednesday group. Work changed. Miss gang from Wednesday league but this group and courses we will play so awesome. So like the rotation of courses angle. Will be able to totally flame out at a variety of places this season.

To show our appreciation, we are going to offer a Bonus Point Bounty of 5 points for a selfie with a staffer at Roma's Back Door. We know it is a hike to get to Owosso from here, but, the food and the points are worth it. PLUS, there are some courses in the area to try. Go in the morning for rounds at McCurdy, Pine Hills and Sleepy Hollow and stay for dinner at Roma's Back Door. Sounds like a great day to me.

Also, since Jimmy Jean helped to set this all up, one bonus point for a photo taken with Jimmy Jean. Don't worry. You'll find him. That man is everywhere. Thanks Jimmy!!
