The General is Ready!

Over the past two months a steady group of 20-30 dedicated golfers have been viciously chomping through the previously untouched woods adjacent to our original course "The Hill". Over the last two weeks Ken Gary and Josh St. Denis (along with a few helpers) have been quietly digging holes, installing sleeves, and as of yesterday 18 shiny new Discatchers are installed!

 The result of everyone's hard work is a fantastic 18 hole disc golf course with decent natural tee pads. Devens DGC is proud to be the only disc golf course on the mainland of Massachusetts to have two separate courses on the same land.

 Devens has made a name for itself for having probably the largest and most dedicated player base in our area. I'm proud to call Devens my home course and feel privileged to play with you guys and gals!

 Some upcoming events on "The General":

 Josh is running an informal doubles match on Thanksgiving morning @ 8am

 On Sunday December 1st we will be running an informal singles event, who can set the initial course record? There is no entry fee and you can play as many rounds as you want during the day. Form your own group of 3/4 and start on hole 1. Have someone post your groups names/scores on Facebook after each round ends and I'll tally at the end of the day.

 We will have another work weekend on December 7th and 8th in which will we do lots of pruning, some stairs, dragging of brush piles and other touch up work. Please come out if you can! Tee pads construction and installation will begin in the spring.

 Come out and enjoy the new course!

Big Work Weekend!

Devens Work Weekend - Nov. 16/17th - The General!

Ok Devens, another work weekend is before us. If we get done what we plan to do, we could see baskets in the ground real real soon. So clear your calendars and get rid of those well-worn excuses and come on out. Here is the plan:

Saturday – finish cutting in fairways on last 3½ fairways. The usual chainsaw people will be there (right?). Everyone else, work gloves and help clear debris off the fairways. We will meet at 9am to start. If you come later and want to meet us, early on you can follow the road below the current course hole 9. Later morning onward take the road left past current hole 6 and look to the left or downhill from hole 7 basket/8 tee. 

We will also be clearing smaller brush areas on already cut holes after we finish clearing the new holes.

Sunday – Vic is arranging to bring in a wood chipper to process the woodpiles. Meet at 9 am to start. We need people to bring wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes to move woodchips to the pin areas. If you have these supplies, but need a way to get them to the course, please post and I hope those with pickup trucks can swing by. If we get done with piles on the new course, we may be able to chip on the current course to add woodchips below a number of worn basket areas (1,18, 10 would be great). This could really help out the current course so try to get out to help.

We will also be setting the new basket sleeves in the ground for the existing holes.

We also need some clearing of the high tree ceiling on hole 7. If anyone can climb and cut branches, we need you now. This work requires about 10 limbs that are too high for a pole saw to come down. Someone experienced is needed.

The weather is looking like it is going to cooperate. Look forward to seeing a lot of people this weekend. It may be the last large-scale work effort before this course is playable.

Bag Tag Bonanza!

Well, the 2013 Bag Tag Bonanza and League Season is in the books! Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to celebrate a great year and have some fun.

We had 45 players for the morning round and 26 stayed after lunch to play in a birdie race round. I apologize for the franticness during lunch awards. It was a race against time with my laptop battery and I lost.. I was in overdrive and definitely made some mistakes along the way. I think everything worked out properly and I appreciate your help squaring me away!

I am taking suggestions for the 2014 season and of course I hope to enhance the league in some way. Is it March 2014 yet?

Ned Eisenberg Sets a New Course Singles Record!

Ned just slayed the course record on The Hill. You know it's a good round when you tie the doubles course record in a singles round!

A 44 is the new record. He birdied 10 holes and took a 3 on the remaining 8 holes. Great job!
