WoW,  lot of new interesting ideas going into this one.  Payouts will probably be kinda week being you are losing 20% by taking the dollar out of the 5 for ace fund.  Not sure why the paths are being made hot lava, I wonder what the rule will be if you skip off a path.  Well anyway GL with your new leage.

Payouts will be weak but most of the regulars at BG don't want their entry fee to be any higher than that.  Hot lava was Rocky's idea...  It only counts if your disc comes to rest completely on the path.  OB and you can't use it again.  I like it only because the course is so easy to begin with that anything weird like this makes it interesting, as long as we keep it simple.  If you end up on the paths we will at least have it OB, for sure.  We could make things more interesting by making OB everything on or over the path on 7 and 9....  We are open to any and all suggestions.

It will be interesting and fun, as long as people come out to play.

[UMphreak]

If you skip off the path it means nothing, but if you come to rest COMPLETELY on the path then it will be ob.  If the idea of the disc being taken away for the rest of the round bothers people, then it can always be changed.

Ill be there, I played the flags that were layed down the other day and the locations make the course a bit more interesting. Curious to see the turnout

[UMphreak]

Thanks Nick, see you Monday

[Cannon Boy]

It would be cool if you guys made the paths real hot lava OB, so even if you touch it, it is OB

I like the idea of the paths being OB.

Neal, you would be adding a judgement call into the equation which would not be easy to call.

[Cannon Boy]

yes but it is allready messed up by adding this to leages. So it can not get any worse.  I am still wondering if it is dubs and you do not take that shot anyways, can you still use that disc.  If I did those leages I would just make walkway OB, not this weird modified hot lav rule. Again just my opinion.

[UMphreak]

Neal we actually just decided to make the paths OB.  Not going to play the hot lava.  So you will still be able to keep your disc.  I thought it would be better if thinks were kept simple.

[Cannon Boy]

Thats kinda what I thought would happen.  I might go next week I should get my liscence back this wed.

[Mike S]

Great turnout tonight...  18 players for the first week.  Not bad at all.  Should definitely improve as the weather gets better.  Results posted tomorrow.  $52 went to first place and $20 to second.   Rocky also donated a disc for a CTP on hole 5...  No aces so the pot starts at $18 for week 2.

Same time next week-  still $5 including $1 for the ace fund, and I will put in a disc for a CTP.  We will be changing at least two tee placements for the back nine.  People on the tee for alternate 6 were throwing into the tee area for alternate 7 way too much, and alternate 9 wasnt visible enough for people coming around the tennis courts on the walking path.  Other than that, I think most people liked the alternates.  We will likely move 6 back behind the pines (behind and left of the normal tee), and 9 into the bushes in front of the tennis court.  Probably better holes that way anyways.

Don't forget doubles tonight!

Also, we decided to leave hole 18 where it was last week.  15 (alt. 6) will move over to the left, behind the evergreen-type bushes.  Its a slightly shorter hole, but is a little tighter near the tee and forces you to take an anny route unless you can throw 360' with about 5' of height on your throw.

Turnout at this league has been pretty good.  This week we added a $1 option for an extra cash CTP.  All the money put in goes towards that CTP.  Everyone put in the optional dollar this week.  Rocky and I have also donated discs for another CTP during Weeks 1 and 2.  To keep this going every week we are going to add it on as another optional $1 CTP fund.

Entry will now be $5 with one dollar of that going towards the Ace Fund, and two optional CTP's:

$1 Cash CTP
$1 Disc CTP - We will add all money put in for the Disc CTP into a disc fund, which we will use to purchase discs for the CTP each week.  The more people put into this fund, the better the discs will be each week.

[Mike S]

After quite a bit of discussion, we have finalized the tee placements for holes 15 and 16 (Alt. 6 and 7).  The placements for week 1 had a lot of people throwing into the tee area of 16, and our placements for week 2 were a little too close to private property.  The distances and average score of each hole on the course (over weeks 1 and 2) are listed below:

(Hole, Distance, Avg)

1  - 390' - 3.13
2  - 295' - 2.69
3  - 195' - 2.25
4  - 230' - 2.50
5  - 320' - 2.69
6  - 220' - 2.19
7  - 230' - 2.06
8  - 420' - 3.19
9  - 268' - 2.56
10 - 336' (uphill, plays much longer) - 3.06
11 - 387' - 3.13
12 - 210' - 2.19
13 - 313' - 2.75
14 - 307' - 3.00
