The Devens Hawks Hosts Team Webster Tomorrow
Team Webster is back at Devens tomorrow (Saturday 3/29) looking for a little redemption. Last month Team Devens beat those Fish & Game guys pretty handily so I know they are hungry. Now its the Hawks turn to lay the smack down!
Good luck to the good guys. Take down the win and end the season on a high note!
Here is a preview of Marc Duci finishing Aaron Kaczowka off.. The look on Aarons face is priceless.
For those casual players. The Hill will be crowded but playable.

Wednesday League - Week 3 Results and Standings
NEXT WEEK START TIME IS 4:45pm - For the first 72 players to register in person.
Super windy out there last night, holy cow! The scores were about 3 strokes higher on average (though some, like mine, were much worse than usual). Joe DeCarolis slammed hole 15 with a nice skip ace and earned the $99 ace pot. Nice shot, Joe!
My most sincere apologies to the C Pool guys. I completely neglected to announce winners of this pool and thus no one stayed around for the payout. Steve, Ric & Bill M are all owed $ and I have it set aside for next week. Again, sorry!

Hill Yeah Spring Classic 2 is Coming Up Fast!
Wow, our first big tournament of 2014 is just two weeks away!All of the pieces are falling into place and I hope we get some great weather and some low scores.
We will have CTP's on EVERY hole including some pretty valuable and unique stuff. A Dynamic Discs Commander bag is up for grabs for all Hole Sponsors, a 2014 membership to Maple Hill and a Midnight Buzzz (only 1,000 made!) are both up for grabs for all players. We also have a ton of other discs, some hats and some
t-shirts available to specific divisions.
For those of you on the wait list, unfortunately for you there has been no movement whatsoever since online reg sold out. Of course, there is usually some action shortly before the event and if there is any movement I will certainly let you know if you are able to get in.
Here are all of the tournament details.
Come on out for some practice at our Wednesday league.
I can't wait to see you all there!

Wednesday Weekly League #2
NEXT WEEK START TIME IS 4:30pm
What a crazy night at league. Despite the cool weather, periods of sleet and an extremely early start time we nearly SOLD OUT! We had 68 players join us and we were just 4 people shy of a full house. Absolutely incredible. We had some issues with daylight so we will stay with a 4:30 start next week. I really hadn't planned on having every hole occupied with 4somes on all but 4 holes and that slowed it down a little.
Couple new things going forward:
League has to be a first come first served. This includes only you showing up in person and signing in. If there is a potential sell out I don't think I can work with text/phone check ins. If you wanna play than you best just get there before 71 other people do. Once we sell 72 spots you are able to play The General for fun. Please also get to your starting hole by the specified time. Thank you all for your cooperation!
We have already sold 70 tags and have had 78 unique players so far. Average scores are WAY high but that's due to all of the newer players and some less than perfect playing conditions. We will whittle that average down soon.

Week One of League is in the Books!
NEXT WEEK START TIME IS 4:30pm
What a way to start the 2014 season off. Crap weather but some really great spirit out there and a grand total of 50 warriors played. 46 of which bought tags along with another 3 who bought tags but could not play.
Here's a little history lesson, Last year we started the league with a beautiful afternoon and had 40 people come out, the year before we had 27 people on the first day. I'd say we are growing at a good pace and I wouldn't be surprised to have a few sellouts this year. Hope to see you out there next week and hope I will have some of the rust scrapped off by then =)

Hawks Nest Disc Golf Opens Today!
210 West Main Street in Ayer.
Get on out there and show these guys your support!
Tuesday, March 4, 2014
Wednesday Weekly League Returns March 12th!
The Wednesday Weekly returns on March 12th. Come get your
2014 bag tag and be ready to tee off by 4:15PM. This was once again the most popular
singles league in Massachusetts last year (nearly 1,500 golfers came out) and I
am aiming to make it bigger and better this year so come join the fun.
We use league as our primary fundraiser to help pay our yearly insurance bill. We make it fun for all, so don't worry that you have to be an all-star to have a good time. We group players into four groups based on skill/gender, so you'll always be competing with someone about as good as you.
Basics
• Four player pools (A pool for players who average 58 and under, B pool for players who average between 59-68, C pool for players who average 69+ and a women’s pool).
• A weekly cash payout, a cash CTP for each pool, an ace pot and a season long points event. Lots of raffle prizes at end of the year including some big ticket items.
• Buying a tag saves you $2/week. Visiting non-taggers can still play and get in on the cash payout but can't compete for a tag.
• You must be a tag holder to collect the ace pot
• Wednesdays, starting March 12th
• Be ready to go at 4:15pm. Time will move up to 5:30pm according to sunset.
• Initial cost: $20 for 2014 tag
• We will do a skills challenge at the end of the night as soon as daylight allows
• CASUAL PLAY IS LIMITED TO “THE GENERAL” ON LEAGUE NIGHTS.
Weekly cost
• Tagholder: $5 -
$2 payout, $1 course funds, $.50 CTP, $.50 ace pot, $1 season points event & payout.
• Non-Tagholder: $7 -
$2 payout, $3 course funds, $.50 CTP, $.50 ace pot, $1 season points event & payout
Details
• No handicaps.
• One round of singles
• If you leave before tags are redistributed, get someone to grab it for you or risk us losing it.
• Tags are in play for casual rounds and tournaments. Higher tag can challenge a lower tag and under most circumstances, lower tag must accept.
• Ace pot rolls over each week. If there are no aces for 2014, half goes to the course maintenance/insurance fund and half goes to the 2015 WW ace pot.
• Two CTPs, one for A pool and one for B/C/W pools.
• There will be an improved year-end Bag Tag Bonanza to end the season.
