Wednesday Weekly League 2014 - Devens - The Hill @ 4:30pm

[Luke Adolph]

I definitely remember that, Bill!

Last year the 2nd week of league there was a fresh foot of snow.

[Rob Walker]

I'm excited for league to start. Not excited about the forecast.

[Luke Adolph]

Thinking positive thoughts about the weather

[Frank_Strauss]

Ethan and I cant wait to get our tags!

[Luke Adolph]

League season is upon us and tomorrow is our big day!

Sure, it's going to rain but who cares! I'll be ready for you guys to start signing in around 3:30 and we tee off at 4:15

Wear good footwear and the biggest smile you have.

[Rob Walker]

And bring $25!

[Rob Walker]

I hope this weather carries through until tomorrow afternoon!

[Luke Adolph]

League day! Tee off is at 4:15 so see ya before then. I'll be there at around 3:30 to set up

[Luke Adolph]

50 people at the first league of the season. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Especially for a really crappy day weather wise and a 4:15 start time.

Who wants to take bets as to when the first sell out is?

[Mike Dussault]

I bet next week sells out if it does not rain and the weather is decent. First 60 degree day of league will sell out.

[Luke Adolph]

NEXT WEEK START TIME IS 4:30pm

What a way to start the 2014 season off. Crap weather but some really great spirit out there and a grand total of 50 warriors played. 46 of which bought tags along with another 3 who bought tags but could not play.

Here's a little history lesson, Last year we started the league with a beautiful afternoon and had 40 people come out, the year before we had 27 people on the first day. I'd say we are growing at a good pace and I wouldn't be surprised to have a few sellouts this year. Hope to see you out there next week and hope I will have some of the rust scrapped off by then =)

fun night, great job Luke dealing with the cold, rain, dark and all the people.

what happened to tag #10?

am I the first to ever go OB on 18? my drive cleared the fence.

[Luke Adolph]

Rob bought #10 for Steve

Haha wow that's the first I've heard of a drive clearing the fence on 18. How did you even find it?

Ken let us tee off after they threw their approaches and was spotting.

As soon as Bill released his drive, he ripped his shirt off and yelled, "Take that, Bitches!". The rest of us weenie arms in his group had finished playing hole 1 by the time Bill had walked to his drive on 18.

[Luke Adolph]

League tees off at 4:30pm tomorrow, see ya there!

[Luke Adolph]

67 players for league. Dear lord...

[Luke Adolph]

NEXT WEEK START TIME IS 4:30pm

What a crazy night at league. Despite the cool weather, periods of sleet and an extremely early start time we nearly SOLD OUT! We had 68 players join us and we were just 4 people shy of a full house. Absolutely incredible. We had some issues with daylight so we will stay with a 4:30 start next week. I really hadn't planned on having every hole occupied with 4somes on all but 4 holes and that slowed it down a little.

Couple new things going forward:

League has to be a first come first served. This includes only you showing up in person and signing in. If there is a potential sell out I don't think I can work with text/phone check ins. If you wanna play than you best just get there before 71 other people do. Once we sell 72 spots you are able to play The General for fun. Please also get to your starting hole by the specified time. Thank you all for your cooperation!

We have already sold 70 tags and have had 78 unique players so far. Average scores are WAY high but that's due to all of the newer players and some less than perfect playing conditions. We will whittle that average down soon.

[John Rodenhizer]

And thusly the empire grows.

[Bill Bertera]

is there a nice way to say something like: If your group is never waiting on the group in front of you, and the group behind you is always waiting on you: you're going too slow?

also, we may want to say something about not throwing on the field if its muddy. we don't want to get in trouble for tearing up the turf.

[Luke Adolph]

Agreed on both points. We all need to make sure we are keeping up with the group in front of us and a gentle reminder to others is fine

Our permission to use the field is shaken at best, everyone should speak up if they see someone doing something that isn't ideal like throwing when anyone else aside from a disc golfer is also on the field and throwing on it when there is a possibility of ripping it up such as when it's already wet and muddy

[Rob Walker]

Can we avoid ribbons on Wednesday? I was hoping that I was done with those stupid things fir the season.

[Luke Adolph]

Storm still seems really uncertain. Fingers crossed for nothing.

[Luke Adolph]

Tee off at 4:30pm tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that the snow stays away!

[Luke Adolph]

My apologies for a very disorganized league tonight. I completely missed announcing any C Pool winners and none of them received any winnings. I also forgot to hand out the 12 pack of sierra nevada to whomever won the ctp on hole 1. Maybe next week my fingers won't be about to chip off and I won't have to rush my way through results.

I'll have full results up tomorrow night and I'll put aside any winnings not paid out for next week.

[Jim Bobka]

Crazy blind skip ace last night by Joe on 15; up the cart road, off the ice, around the right bend and lost from our sight, but not from our hearing. The distant sound of chains...lost in the howling wind... then after heading up the fairway we witnessed the nested disc!

[Luke Adolph]

NEXT WEEK START TIME IS 4:45pm - For the first 72 players to register in person.

Super windy out there last night, holy cow! The scores were about 3 strokes higher on average (though some, like mine, were much worse than usual). Joe DeCarolis slammed hole 15 with a nice skip ace and earned the $99 ace pot. Nice shot, Joe!

My most sincere apologies to the C Pool guys. I completely neglected to announce winners of this pool and thus no one stayed around for the payout. Steve, Ric & Bill M are all owed $ and I have it set aside for next week. Again, sorry!

I had to leave early but I hope someone yelled sandbagger at Steve Walker for me.

[Jim Bobka]

Now that's funny. Nice one, Doug!

[Luke Adolph]

Oh man! I just looked at the weather for tomorrow and it looks great. Will this be our first league sellout? I dunno but I'd get there early just in case. I'll be there at around 3:45 to start checking people in. Tee off is at 4:45pm
