2017 Bag Tag Bonanza Results

Thanks for a nice day yesterday! This is always my favorite event of the year as we celebrate another successful league season. We had a good crowd of 63 people and the weather was perfect. We'll hash out some details behind the scenes to tweek a few things but I expect a pretty similar set up next year. We'll fix the handicap pool for sure. Maybe adjust the pro pool a little. More on that stuff soon.

Put your pennies away over the winter for a 2018 season pass. I'd like to lower the price by a few bucks after looking at this years pass holder attendance =)

See everyone in mid March!

Bag Tag Bonanza Details

This is lengthy but please do read if you are coming to the Bonanza!

Basic Details:

The 2017 Bag Tag Bonanza is going to take place on Saturday October 28th. All 2017 bag tag holders are invited to attend. I do still have some 2017 tags for sale! $20 each. We will play one final league round of 24 holes (Bonanza Loop is 1-7 on Hill, 13,14,15 General, 10,11,12 General then 8-18 Hill in that order). The courses will be closed to all others until about 12:30pm on Saturday the 28th.

Register between 8am and 9am on Saturday morning. I’ll be set up across the street from the soccer field. Tee off time is 9:15am. Please just start at 9:15am. No horn

The cost is the usual $5 and you should sign in as usual for a league night and we will provide Pizza/Cookies/Drinks for lunch. Participants also receive a Trilogy Custom stamped disc. I have 100 of them! If I have extras at lunch I’ll sell them to 2017 tag holders for $5 per disc.

We got:

Classic Blend Judge, Classic Blend Slammer, Opto Compass, Lucid Convict, Lucid Freedom, Lucid Truth, Lucid Witness, Lucid Air Trespass, Fuzion Escape.

CTP prize of $15 Hawk Nest credit on every single Hill hole and many raffle items. In case you didn't know those who purchase tags receive a raffle entry for each league they attend.

ACES (worth additional point in standings & $$)
Pot will start with $34 at the Bonanza and we will throw off for a 2 or 3 way split of the pot if it does not get hit.

Banked nightly payouts – We will have these ready for pick up on Saturday morning. If you can’t get to the Bonanza I’ll contact you after the event to figure out a way to get the money to you. Amounts are posted here.

As of week 31 we have had 1,718 players. That's an average of 55.42 per night. We've sold 135 tags and have had 146 unique players. The following players have ended the year with perfect attendance:

Sam Misuraca (6 years in a row!)
Joe DeCarolis (4 years!)
Bill Pacheco (1 year)

You’ve each earned $15 credit to the Hawk’s Nest as a thank you for you unwavering dedication! They moved to a credit system so I’ll give Chris your name and you can redeem at the store.

Points leaders will be playing on a card with each other. I’ll preregister each of those players to ensure they end up on the same card. If you can’t make it please let me know:

A pool card hole 1 Hill – Casey White, Alex Gula, Aaron Little, Greg Bianco (all confirmed)

B pool card hole 11 Hill – John Murin Jr, Ryan Shevlin, Brandon Carlson, Sam Misuraca (all confirmed)

C pool card hole 14 Hill – Bill Pacheco, Roger Scruton, Paul Sales, Sean Parlon (all confirmed)

D pool card hole 17 Hill – Matt Bourgault & Kim Krieser (all confirmed – Matt S and Ashlee can’t come will fill in with unassigned players)

The winner of each pool will receive a sweet trophy made by Bob Kulchuk!

Raffle Winners:

Here is the list ofraffle winners for the smaller items. You can pick your prize(s) up during registration so show up early to get the best selection of prizes.

I did the raffle winners using an excel formula (video evidence is available, if needed) in an effort to save time during awards. We will still do a “pick a number” system for the larger items.

Here is a list of the smaller raffle prizes.

CTP Winners:

Every hole on the Hill has a CTP on it. Each prize is a $15 Hawk’s Nest credit. Each division has 4 holes to shoot for. There will be 2 holes for all players. Hawk’s Nest has moved to a credit system, so I’ll give Chris the winner’s names and you can redeem at the store.

Random Notes:

Check in using the normal league system. Only use “The Hill” when checking in.

If you get a hole with a “G” next to it, that’s a General hole. All others are Hill.

Please bring in CTP flag on your ending hole (only on the Hill)

Get there early for best selection on player pack discs and raffle prize choices.
