Ace and Birdie Race Tournament a Success!

Thank you all so much for coming out to the Devens Ace and Birdie Race today.

I had so much fun during the rounds and I appreciate all the support from the locals to make the event run smooth. I especially appreciated those involved with bringing the temp baskets out to the course and also back in after the round was over.

We had 54 people for the Ace Race which was a sell out! Since the layout was slightly lengthened from its previous versions I was surprised to see so many aces and metal hits. In the end, there were 9 aces & 55 (!) metal hits. 32 different people put some form of points on the board.

Even with the addition of the 4 temp holes, that’s still a lot of hits! Good shootin’, everyone!

Congrats to Moe Ryan who won the Discraft Prize Pack (consisting of a nice bag and 8 premium discs!)

The Birdie Race was a lot of fun as well! Devens is a great course for this type of round as there is a good mix of holes where you need to be aggressive to get the birdie along with those that you need that perfect layup or placement shot to get it. Lots of aggressive putts too.

We played A and B pool divisions for this round and each division had a 3 way tie for first place.

In the A pool, Ken Gary, Ken Marshall & Ned Eisenburg played off for the top spot and Ken Gary came out victorious. In the B pool, Aaron Stewart & Mike Hladick played off for the top spot and Mike won! Justin Johnson was also tied for first but he had something come up and had to leave right after the round so he automatically received 3rd place.

Matt Duquette aced hole 10 during the birdie race!
