As the sun sets on 2014, we can take a look back at the club's 25th Anniversary season. Our tournaments were all amazing and we have goals set to make them even better in 2015. Our Monday night league play has been just as successful with more sponsors on board providing more free prizes for you players. Discraft, Innova, and Dynamic Discs are now weekly prizes (CTP's) to go along with the MCCG. Some new events were added like the River Bends Fundraiser, the 3 Sport Challenge, and the Tournament of Champions and each of these brought a certain level of success with them. A new local course opened at Bonnie Brook and River Bends (27 holes) and Stony Creek (2 18-hole layouts) are very close to completing their expansion projects. Also, the Sterling Heights project has started which took a lot of planning to get this far. Wolf Pack Discs has been a nice addition to our local community sponsoring players and our big events. The Sunnybrook Putting League is still a place to be during the Monday winter evenings. The BOBIS Saturday Doubles is going stronger than ever. The Wednesday Metro Detroit League is also seeing players attend in record numbers. The Tuesday (Brys), Thursday (Royal Oak), and Friday (Discin' at Stony) leagues are all bringing in record numbers and providing more opportunities for players to continue to improve their game every night of the week during the summer. Our Ice Bowl, coming up on January 11, 2015 found us finishing 7th in the world at $6400 last year. That number may be eclipsed this year. Total numbers we expect to surpass with this years' donations are to top $40,000.00 and 23,000 pounds of food. AMAZING!
So, to wrap this up, we would like to thank of course, all of our sponsors and local cities for allowing us to do what we do. None of the above could have been achieved without the people and supporting staff running the leagues, tournaments, clubs, or companies week in and week out. As a player, when you attend any of these disc golf gatherings, please be sure to thank those sitting in line for donating so much of their time organizing then posting the results so you can track your disc golf achievements. Finally, to you the Motor City Chain Gang club members, Happy 25th Anniversary! Thank you for helping make the Metro Detroit area become such a disc golf force wherever you travel. Have a safe and Happy New Year!
