Devens Disc Golf: March 2017

I know this is lengthy but we have a pretty complex league going on here! Please do read it all if you plan to play this year. I’ll start off by asking that if you haven’t purchased your tag yet this year please sign in a bit earlier. It takes a few minutes to get a user account going and we can’t start late at this time of the year. Please also pay close attention to the sign in screen as you check in as it will give you your specific hole assignment along with optional side pot entry. It’s pretty much the same system as late year as far as the user can see aside from the optional side pots.

See ya on Wednesday!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wednesday Weekly returns on March 22nd. Come get your 2017 bag tag and be signed in and ready to go by 4:10pm (4:00pm for The General). This was once again the most popular league in New England last year (2,213 golfers came out) and we are aiming to improve league again this year so come join the fun. We are working behind the scenes to improve the automated system and add a few more options and bonuses into the league.

Biggest improvements this year will be:

You have the option to pick up your winnings or bank the winnings to be paid at the end of the year.

We are eliminating the Women’s Division and will be adding a D pool. All players will be entered into a division by average. You can always play up divisions if you wish. See below for divisional breakdown.

You had the option to prepay for the year @ $150. This price includes the tag fee so you save $ if you come to at least 26 weeks of league which over 30 of you did last year.

There will be an optional handicap pool open to all players and the person with the best handicapped score winning all of the money ($1 entry and we expect 20-30 people to enter each week). If 30 or more players enter than we may pay out 2 spots.

There will be an optional high stakes pool @ $10 per player (open to all players). We expect that 10 people or so will enter each week so shoot the hot score among those 10 people and win $100.

Bill Bertera, Tim Seiger, Aaron Little and Luke Adolph will rotate running league. This will keep everyone fresh and flexible. If you see Bill, Tim or Aaron please thank them for keeping league afloat because I couldn’t continue in the previous format alone.

We will tighten up hole assignments

We will also put many, many back end improvements into place to make management of this league feasible. Give Tim the biggest hug ever when you see him..
