Devens Disc Golf: 2014Bonanza

Would You Like to Reserve a Spot in the Bag Tag Bonanza?

Player Name

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

The 2014 league season has ended and what a year it has been! We had 1,826 players for an average of about 59 per night when you include all weeks even going back to the 4:15pm starts in March and all of the recent earlier starts. We also have had 183 individual players this year and have sold 128 tags. These are all incredible stats and huge improvements over last year and I hope we finish the year strong as well! We will be working hard in the offseason to figure out a way to get more people onto the course(s) for league next year as we are pretty much maxed out now.

We have 1 tag left for sale if you want to play in the Bag Tag Bonanza you will need to be a 2014 tag holder to do so. I'll have the remaining tags for sale leading up to the event. If you participated in league this year but did not buy a tag, now is the time to support your course and get in on this fun event!

Speaking of the 2014 Bag Tag Bonanza. You can register now at http://devensdg.blogspot.com/p/2014bonanza.html . The entry fee and payout structure will be the same as a typical league but given that we are buying lunch for everyone it will be helpful to have you pre register. The format for the day will be one round on The Hill with 6 holes from The General thrown in for a 24 hole round. Probably going to play it as follows: 1-7 on The Hill, 13, 14, 15, 10, 11 & 12 on The General then 8-18 on The Hill. We will do threesomes to keep things moving. We will have a lunch consisting of pizza/cookies/chips/soda/water followed by season ending point standings awards and we will also give away all of the raffle prizes at this time as well. In case you didn't know, each time you come to league you are entered into the year end raffle for some pretty cool prizes such as a high end bag, basket and several gift certificates to the Hawks Nest among some other small prizes. The more you came to league the better the chance you have of walking away a winner. How often did you come?

Here are the currently assigned Raffle #'s

After the final round, lunch and awards we can play some random dubs!

Did I mention that each participant of the Bonanza will be getting a custom stamped Dynamic Disc as a player pack? That alone is triple the value of the $5.00 registration fee which all goes towards payout/CTP/Ace Pot as usual anyway. FREE LUNCH as well!

A custom stamped player pack disc for all

Free Lunch

About $3,000.00 in total going into this event!!!

Prize update. Every hole on The Hill will have a divisional CTP or an all players CTP for $15 Hawks Nest Bills and a zipper pull furnished by Green Light Disc Golf. The cash CTP will be on hole 14 General.

I'll be set up in the usual tournament central area (dirt area on the way to hole 1 Hill). I'll be set up by 8am and registration is between 8-9am. I'm aiming for a 9:15am players meeting so please don't just grab your hole assignment and head out to your hole. If you go out to practice be back by 9:15am. I'll need lots of help and cooperation. I'll be asking everyone to bring out the CTP signs and Flags and bring them all back after the round.

We will be picking up the pizza at 12:45 and I hope to have the wrap up done as follows:

Final tag distribution

$ CTPs and Round Payouts

Hawks Nest and zipper pull CTPS

The the raffle! I'd like to be done by 1:45pm and cleaned up and out starting random dubs by 2pm. Someone else is going to have to facilitate the dubs round.

I'll have a few extra player pack discs which I will sell for $5.00 DURING LUNCH only. Please when you check in only take one disc.

Scorecards are going to be a bit modified. The holes from The General will be handwritten on the back. Please be sure to add properly considering that hole 11 general is a par 4. Put the total scores on the front of the card. Par for the course is a 73.
