Well, the 2021 Deer Lakes League season is complete and what a year it was. In total there was 882 rounds played by 164 different players. It is absolutely awesome to see the league grow from averaging 13.4 players in 2016, to 16.6 in 2017, 18.7 in 2018 and 2019, 32.9 in 2020, and then 42.0 players per week this year!
Firstly I want to congratulate two players who attended every week, myself (yes, I'm going to congratulate myself) and Brendan Reed! Honorable mention also goes out to Chris Lachendro and Jared Fechter who each only missed one week.
On the points front, there were some tight battles and some not so tight battles. In Open, I managed to squeak out the victory on the final week over Chris Lachendro by just 3 points. In Advanced, Jed Farber ran away with the win as he collected 5 wins in the 13 weeks that he played. Matt Kennedy eked out the win in Intermediate by just 4.5 points over Jared Fechter as he won 7 of the 16 weeks that he played. Despite moving up to Intermediate halfway through the year, Jeff Coull dominated the Recreational division enough in the first half to easily take down the win for the year. Without too much competition, Molly Moore handily won the Advanced Women division for the year. And finally, simply by showing up a couple of times, Julia Lekht took down the win in Recreational Women. Congratulations to all of this years champions!
Thanks again to all who attended throughout the year. I already can't wait to see what next year brings!
