Wednesday Weekly League - Week 24 Results - OUR FIRST SELLOUT!

Well, it finally happened. We have come so close to the sell out many times this year but last night was the perfect recipe of great weather and our last 5:30pm start time and the result was a sold out league @ Devens.

I try not to look at the negative aspect of things but I have been a bit upset that I had to turn away Jerel Davis and Alan MacLean from league.  I hope they both understand the restrictions we are under and that the decision to keep it at 72 players was for the greater good...   We are cooking up something next year that should allow for more players to get in on the league action.

NEXT WEEKS START TIME IS 5:15PM!!

Wednesday Weekly League - Week 23 Results

Some very heavy rain kept a lot of the players away but we still had 34 very dedicated people show up for league. It poured for about an hour to start but it wasn't bad after that.

Sam Misuraca aced hole 9 for $17 bucks and Christine Reynolds shot another personal best score!

Next week MAY be the last 5:30 start time. It was pretty dark playing the last hole yesterday but play was abnormally slow yesterday for several groups and cards came in about 15 minutes later than normal.

It seems every week someone gets a payout for placing or CTP and doesn't stick around to collect their $.. I know it can get to be a late night with our full group but if you don't pick up your own money or have someone grab it for you it goes into the course funds.

2014 Devens Grant Goes to South Kingstown DGC in Wakefield, Rhode Island

We are happy to announce that the 2014 Devens course grant goes to South Kingstown DGC in Wakefield, RI!

This course is being spearheaded by past-devens local Jimmy Blakeney. Jimmy has done some great work down there in Rhode Island and we couldn't be happier to provide $400 towards a basket on the new course.

Right now, it is a 10 hole course with plans to expand to 18 in the future.

http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=6995

Some quick notes about this grant program. It isn't anything super formal and no requests need to be submitted
for consideration. Our goals are to advance the sport and we hand pick a deserving project based on many criteria. We look at course location, progress being made so far and how much confidence we have in the people spearheading the project.

Last year, we donated $400 to Otter Brook State Park in Keene, NH and the amount of work that has gone into that place so far is mind blowing. We are so proud that we have had at least a very small part in creating that gem.

Anytime, you donate to the course by coming to league, putting money in the pipe, etc. YOU are becoming partly responsible for the growth of disc golf in our area.

Bag Tag Bonanza - Saturday October 25th


In just a few shorts weeks we will need to start whittling back the start time for league. We lose daylight pretty fast in September and a quick check of the sunset times for October says we can only run league until October 9th and that last day might have to be limited to 54 players for speed of play as well. That means there are only 9 league nights left and we will have played 31 in total.

I'm starting to put together plans for our annual end of the year Bag Tag Bonanza and I will be stepping up the prizes big time this year. Because you continue to come out in droves we have really stacked the pot in a huge way. Each week, when you pay your $5 I put aside $1 towards the Bonanza fund. I am estimating that we will have about 1,775 players at league this year(1,325 so far) so immediately there is almost $1800 in the Bonanza pot.  The course will kick in about $1200 bucks as well to bring the total to $3000 set aside for this event. 

You will need to pay the usual $5 to play in the Bonanza and all of that money will be paid out as usual with payout by pool, CTP $, ace pot, etc. We will probably have to do this as an online preregistration as we have to limit the event to 72 players and of course, only tag holders will be invited to play. 

The event will be one round of singles followed by final tag distribution and payout for that days play. We will provide lunch for all (Pizza, chips, cookies, soda, water, etc). There will be additional CTP prizes and a huge raffle for some big ticket items such as a high end bag, portable basket and several gift certificates to the Hawks Nest among some other small prizes..  You will be entered into the raffle as many times as you have come out to league. So if you have come out to every league this year you will have 31 raffle tickets in the mix..  

Of course, this is limited to tag holders only so if you haven't purchased your tag yet you should probably do so at league this week. I have 10 left and each tag costs $20.

So let's recap:

Over $1800 towards end of the year season standings payout and all of the various prizes
A custom stamped player pack disc for all
Free Lunch

I'll open registration in late September so mark Saturday October 25th on your calendar make sure you register quickly on the night registration begins!

Wednesday Weekly League - Week 22 Results

Weather turned out to be much better than forecast yesterday and we ended up getting 66 players including another 5 to add to the astounding unique player # (now at 164) and the total # of golfers is 1325 (avg per week is 60.22)

Josh St. Denis nailed hole 4 for 68 bucks. Hole 4 has been hit 3 times this season which matches the hole 2 for the most aced hole at league. Thats a bit surprising to me.

It seems every week someone gets a payout for placing or CTP and doesn't stick around to collect their $..  I know it can get to be a late night with our full group but if you don't pick up your own money or have someone grab it for you it goes into the course funds.

Wednesday Weekly League - Week 21 Results

A record night at league this past Wednesday. We had 70 players on a night with perfect weather!

I'm a little late getting this done but I heard of lots of personal best scores out there and the average score was pretty low as well. We had 4 new players join us so that makes 159 unique players and 1259 total players. Average of 59.95 per week.

No one hit the ace pot for a change so the pot starts at $35 next week.
