New England Ball & Chain Invitational Aug. 1st

[Dave Jackson]

Hahahahahaha!!!!

OK, so maybe we play the silver tee's at Kettlebrook.

Fixed in first post.


How many will be coming up for the Leicester CC tune up friday @ 5:00pm?
All you can play golf with a cart for $20 per player.

[John Tserpes]

PBR is leading it for the funnel stations.

Good call on the silvers.

I know of 3-4 of us so far coming up for Friday.

[John Tserpes]

Oh by the way. We throw out Chad Hall.

Boom! Baby Gorilla!

[Keith Burtt]

I am looking forward to this one!

PBR is an obvious choice

[Dave Jackson]

Get that ankle healed up bro.
Gonna need you to be our lead man on the funnel.

[Eric Kevorkian]

What's the deal with this?

[Dave Jackson]

Be there Kovo!

It will be a good warm up.

[Dave Jackson]

The Polo's are being ordered after the logo is created.

We'll need players to commit to sizes and each captain can sort that out.

We need each player to get the funds together for the golf. $65 per player, this includes a shared cart.

I'm expecting the Polo's to be roughly $30 per player. I specifically asked for something of good quality that players will be happy to wear. Not a piece of sh!t.

[Dave Jackson]

If I did this on facebitch this would be easier I'm told.
Lol.
Efffff that.
NEFA forum ya herrrd!?!!??!

Chad is a damn good addition.
All these NASA folks. Someone gots to have the secret grenade recipe.
Oh my.....

This golf end of things is going to be brutal.
I've gotta go make a few practice putts somewhere.

[Dave Jackson]

Question:

What will be the best and worst real golf scores?

What will be the best and worst disc golf scores?

Never mind who will shoot what.


Here's my guesses:
Real Golf 67/86
Disc Golf 54/71

Now that's some serious spread right there!!!

[Keith Burtt]

Kovo Leicester CC has runs a twilight deal after 5 (4:45 if your there early) $20 all you can play with a cart

Its a nice little course and conditions are sweet

My guesses are 73/85 for golf 53/73 for disc

[John Tserpes]

Tune up Friday will be fun.

Those are some low scores.
Golf 78/95
Disc 57/72

We put out our last 2 players
Ian Warner
John Mucciarone

[Karl Molitoris]

All depends if a capt stacks a team or not. If both TRY to make "even" teams, a -3 in bg will be very good, as will a 55 or 56 on MH.

[Keith Burtt]

with total strokes being the game you would think that even teams are the way to go. Match play lends to making stacked and sacrifice pairings

[John Tserpes]

Yah stacking teams is usually not good when counting strokes and leaving a few weak teams out there.

What will Worm do? Go balls out and stack or spread it out?

[Matt Stroika]

Worm, balls, stack, and spread it out should not be used in the same sentence... oops, I just did it too.

[Andrew Tabaczynski]

Any team shooting best ball under par in golf would be surprising, my guesses... 75/55...

[Jon Gordon]

Keith Burtt and myself are going to play a round on Sunday early afternoon up at kettlebrook and was wondering if anyone wanted to make it a 4-some. Captain Jackson was a maybe and will know more on Saturday if he can play so potentially looking for 1 or 2 people. Hit me or Burtt up here or on facebook. I believe after 2pm its $45 for 18 riding.

[Dave Jackson]

I'll be there!!!

[Dave Jackson]

Played Kettlebrook with a couple teammates today and I'll have to say that the course is really good.
We're playing 2man scramble, affectionately known as "doubles" in disc golf, so it helps being able to place your ball before you hit it.

One thing to remember is that when placing your ball into position for your shot (in the ball golf) you can't change cuts of grass.
Ex: if you choose the shot that is in the rough only by 6", you'll have to take your next shot from the rough, not from the fairway only inches away.

The Silver tees are no joke.
The 17th hole requires an uphill tee shot, hit about 255yds to a pin tucked behind a sand trap. It's one of the hardest par 3's I've ever played, coast to coast.

The greens were real nice. Held a shot beautifully and were a nice speed.
Not lightning fast, not slow, just right.

I'm really excited for this event.
If people wanted to play disc golf the next day, there's a new course, designed by Eric McCabe up in Manchester NH, hosting a NEFA/PDGA event on Sunday Aug. 2nd.
It supposed to be a fun course and Jim Bailey (the TD) is a good guy, so consider it for Sunday. It's a little over an hour to Manchester NH from the Worcester area and I think there's space for players to get into this event.

Shirts will be dealt with tomorrow.

[Dave Jackson]

Shirts will be $45. Adidas Clima Cool. Niiiiice.
East team will be Navy colored shirts.
West will be Red colored shirts.

Everyone is in from what I've gathered and I'm sure these shirts will be verrrrry niiiiice.
Everyone have the dough for the shirts at the event. Get your sizes to your captain and go hit the driving range.

The top golf scores will be under par if anyone knows how to use the ol' flatstick.

[Dave Jackson]

I suggest Captain Tserpes and I start throwing out teams.

Since it was my idea, why don't you throw up your partner and I'll put mine up and we'll lock down the 7:40 Tee Time

[John Tserpes]

Shirts are gonna be awesome. Bloods vs Crips!

East will put out our 1st team to tee off at 7am.
Ian Warner and Tyler Francis.

[Dave Jackson]

The ball is rolling!!!

We put up Andy Durant/ Karl Molitoris for that 7AM tee time.

I'm guessing that's our first team that might shoot under par.

[Dave Jackson]

So we've got a sampling of teams and how they are stacked.

Since Captain Tserpes will be playing in the captains group with me, we'll be teeing off at 7:40.
I'll go ahead and throw out the next team, Dave Jackson/Jon Gordon.

I don't expect you and your partner to keep up with us, so pick someone you like to have fun with and don't worry about playing well (Please pick Tabs )


Who's it gonna be, Johnny boy????

[John Tserpes]

As much as would like to stacks my teams it's not gonna happen. I do like your pairing with Jon so we will definitely have fun for sure. We will see who keeps with who.

So I am putting out John Dickinson and myself. That is a whole lot of NASA to deal with.

[Dave Jackson]

Now that will be a very fun group to start the day off.

I guess we both just put out stacked teams. Lol.

[John Tserpes]

Ok maybe I do have a few stacked teams for golf.

For the 7:10am group I put out Phil Vilmorin/Chad Hall.

What you got Worm?

[Dave Jackson]

I hope they play ball golf better than they play DG.
I had to say it.

Two players I think I had in that spot were Doug Churchill/AJ Brunelle.

Did you cut Tabs yet?

Dead weight.


I updated the funneling rules. Oh my god there will be some laughs had in the ball golf round.
Better hope 5 out of the 6 groups of players on each team can handle a six pack of PBR injected into their teams soul over 6 holes. Lol.

I haven't funneled since high school and I can't wait to crush the three beer on hole 16 tee.

[John Tserpes]

Haha the funnels is optional since you have Karl. If Karl does a funnel then all should. Just sayin.

East is coming to kick your arsses.

My next team for 7:20 will be Erik Pleso/ Dan Maloney.
These boys will crush for hot round in golf.

K funnel boy, what you got?
