Wednesday Weekly League - Week 25

We had 78 players on Wednesday with some really nice weather. Low humidity and just enough of a breeze to keep the bugs away. We had our first ace on the General at league. Brian Hagan got his first ever ace on Hole 2 for $120! Ashley Toomey shot a 61 on the General which was only beaten by 2 of the other 26 competitors on that course (and only by one stroke).

Start time will be shifting to 5:15 Hill and 5:00 cuttoff General this coming week. ALL 3somes for both courses so plan ahead for your General groups.

Bag Tag Bonanza! Don't forget that you receive a raffle ticket for each league night you attend. Here is a wrap up post for last years Bonanza. Look at all these prizes! Give yourself the best shot at going home with something by attending as often as possible. Lots of people have been playing often without a tag and now is the time to buy yours so you can be eligible to play in the Bonanza and win raffle prizes. I have about 20 tags left. I'm working on a large Devens Disc Golf sticker for your car and a pint glass with the grenade logo on it for the players pack this year. Also throwing in a birdie bag for everyone too.

Here is another league status report

We still have 8 people with perfect attendance:

John Rodenhizer
Joe Decarolis
Dean Onners
Josh St. Denis
Jared Reinke
Sam Misuraca
Brian Hagan
Jeremy Draeger

Our Average attendance is 67.2 players per week and we have had a total of 1,680 players over 25 weeks. 204 unique players and 153 tags sold. Both the total unique players and tags sold are higher than all of last year already and the 67.2 players per week is about 7.5 more players per day than last year.

Current Pool Leaders:

A Pool (30 points still up for grabs. Alex is catching up to Aaron quickly! Only 18 points now separate the top two while only a month ago the gap was more like 38 points.. Aaron only has 1 attendance point remaining while Frank Alex and others have a few more. )
Aaron Little - 86 points
Alex Gula - 68
Frank Strauss - 53
Donnie Phillips - 46
Taylor Maslowski - 46
Bill Bertera - 46
Donnie Phillips - 46
Bob Kulchuk - 40
Pete Nevius - 38


B Pool (30 points still up for grabs. Jared, Brandon and Corey have all moved up to the A pool so points will be a little harder to come by but they have made some good pushes the last few weeks, especially Jared! At this point, most places could go to any player in contention but if everyone currently below Gator doesn't start racking up points within the next week or two the list will be a lot smaller. Jared is out of attendance points and Brandon and Corey are almost out of attendance points but their chasers all have several more coming in. Gator is getting close too!)
Jared Reincke - 80 points
Brandon Bowen - 73
Corey Johnson - 59
Gator Holmes - 58
Adam Stander - 44
Ryan Shevlin - 40
Mark Sobota - 37
Sam Misuraca - 37

C Pool (18 points still up for grabs. Jesse and Rich have moved to B pool so points will be a bit harder to come by. B pool points are a higher value so if they do place in B it adds up a bit quicker in C so if they continue to place in B pool they could win a final 3 payout in C pool. All competitors have a solid amount of attendance points remaining as well.)
Jesse Cleary - 56 points
Rich Spinale - 51
Sean Coyne - 41
Anthony Frongillo - 40
Alex MacLean - 34
Brian Hagan - 31
Jeremy Draeger - 30
Donald Tucker - 30
Dan Garvey - 29

Womens Pool (18 points remaining though sometimes Toomey plays in B pool and can rack up 5 points for placing there. Pretty sure Jacki and Fallon have locked up 1st, 2nd or 3rd so its up to Toomey to keep the rest of the chasers out of the top 3! All ladies have plenty of attendance points left.)
Jacki Bogan - 55 points
Fallon Enman - 52
Ashley Toomey - 40
Ashlee Foley - 29
Ashley Jollimore - 27
Kim Krieser - 27
Nicki MacLean - 26



ACES (worth additional point in standings & $$)
Brian Hagan - Hole 2 General - $120
Pot at $0 + next weeks money in

Wednesday Weekly League - Week 24 Results

We had 80 players on Wednesday which is our third highest attendance of the leagues existence!  Since that # was so high and we still had just enough daylight to finish the rounds we are going to stick with a 5:30 start on the hill but in 3somes as best we can! This means longer starting walks as we need to use more holes. We will stick with 4 somes on the General but move the cut off down to 5pm for that course. Get there early.

I've been having some difficulty with one of my sorting functions which kept the spreadsheet from sorting out the starting tag number field properly. It had something to do with the way the handicap formula was written. This meant that I had to eyeball everyone who fell within a certain score to try and give tags out in the proper order but in the process I have messed up a bunch, especially when there was 5 or more of the same score. When I wasn't  able to just simply read the list from top to bottom I often skipped someone or gave out lower tags to the wrong people. I was getting away with this for the most part but its starting to become noticeable so I asked for help and Bill Bertera was able to tell me what I was doing wrong! A simple fix is in place and that shouldn't happen again. Sorry!

Bag Tag Bonanza! Don't forget that you receive a raffle ticket for each league night you attend. Here is a wrap up post for last years Bonanza. Look at all these prizes! Give yourself the best shot at going home with something by attending as often as possible. Lots of people have been playing often without a tag and now is the time to buy yours so you can be eligible to play in the Bonanza and win raffle prizes. I have about 20 tags left.

Wednesday Weekly League - Week 23 Results

We had 72 players last night. Pretty exciting stuff going on with Frank getting an ace on hole 2 with both sons on his card! 8 new players and 5 new tags sold last night. 3 way tie for first with a 50 as well. We have 8 weeks left and I would absolutely love to hit my goal of 2000 players for the year. We need to average 60 players for the next 8 weeks, think we can do it? Show up over the next 8 weeks, earn your points and we will celebrate a successful year at the Bag Tag Bonanza.

Speaking of the Bag Tag Bonanza! Don't forget that you receive a raffle ticket for each league night you attend. Here is a wrap up post for last years Bonanza. Look at all these prizes! Give yourself the best shot at going home with something by attending as often as possible. Lots of people have been playing often without a tag and now is the time to buy yours so you can be eligible to play in the Bonanza and win raffle prizes. I have about 20 tags left. I'm considering a large sticker for your car of the grenade tag and a pint glass with the same logo on it for the players pack this year. Any other ideas?

Wednesday Weekly League - Week 22 Results

Sorry for the delayed results. Was on vacation and am finally catching up. Thanks to Bill Bertera for running league for me last week. It is much appreciated. There were 58 players and no aces which brings the pot up to $136 + tomorrows money in.

We only have 9 league nights left for the season and very few 5:30 starts left (2 or 3?) so get out there and get your points and take a shot at the ace pot. Remember that the more you come to league the better chance for you to win raffle prizes during the bag tag bonanza.

Each pools handicap went up significantly last week. Not enough to shift the whole # but it was interesting to see.

Ladies have been playing the General a lot more lately!

Both Jared and Brandon backed up their move to A pool with great scores!

We are working out an issue with access via vehicle on the dirt road. Please refrain from driving down the road to your starting hole for now, thanks! Park at the nest and walk the rest of the way for those far out holes.
