Buffalo Grove Doubles *Mondays*

[Dan Michler]

I was Nate's partner. By the way, what happend with the CTPs? I thought I had it on #7.

Sorry RackBoy....SCOOP!!!

No problem...nice shot! Sorry about the lucky shot on the playoff hole. I don't like winning like that.

aahhh, i didn't realize that rackboy was you Mark     ha, don't apologize, sometimes its better to be lucky!  god knows i've been lucky before too.

If anyone is interested I will be running a putting competition after leagues tonight.  Same format as the one at the club invite.

[Dan Michler]

If anybody has an old Aviar that I can use at leagues tonight, that would be much appreciated.  My discs are all 2 hours away.

I'm calling off leagues tonight.  It looks like I'm going to be tied up working really late for the next few days.  Doesnt look like the weather is going to let up anytime soon either, weather.com says thunderstorms through the entire day.  Assuming I havent left the country for work, we will start up again next week.

[Mike S]

Also, I wanted to mention that I marked off a few more alternate holes that we are thinking about working into the league for next year.  We want to ultimately have 3 full sets of tees, which we could rotate between each week.  I have them all marked with orange X's, except holes 2 and 8.  We havent come up with good 3rd tees for those holes yet.

1:  Down in the retention ditch area, just at the base of the hill
2:  ??
3:  About 30-40 feet back from the current altenate
4:  Next to the path, behind the pin for three.  Forces a big anhyzer route.
5:  Left of the current alternate, just left of the path.  Tunnel shot under the trees, following the path.
6:  Left of the current alternate, on the other side of the bushes.  I think the shot is similar to 5 from the concretes, but there are some overhanging branches.
7:  On the path (we played this tee for the first few weeks of league in may)
8:  ??
9:  Shorter than the concrete tee, on the right side of the path.  I like this shot a lot, its a flex shot with an overstable disc or a really tight gap through the trees with a midrange.  Paths OB makes it tough.

Alright, bad news...  I found out this weekend that I need to fly out to Japan for work tomorrow, so there wont be a league this week once again.  I had to scramble and work through the weekend to get everything ready for this, so I had to miss the IOS also.  The way work is going lately, I dont think I am gonna have much time to do this anymore (I put in just under 90 hours this week).  I am gonna run the league one more time next monday (9/25) to give everyone a shot at the ace fund.  After that, I'm calling it for the year.

Luckily my work is being flexible enough to allow me a couple extra days in Japan once I'm done with everything there (I guess the fact that I worked 7 straight 12-16 hour days this week helps).  I'm taking a train to Tokyo and spending a couple days exploring before catching a flight home.  There are a few disc golf courses within the city limits, I am definitely gonna try to play one at some point.  Should be an interesting trip to say the least.

Thanks to everyone that came out this year, next year everything will be even better and more organized.

Make sure to take 150 class plastic. I believe it is all that is allowed over there. Have a great trip!

[Mike S]

Yea I know...  I wanted to pick some more up at the tournament this weekend.  I think all I have is a firebird and a valkyrie.  Putting should be fun.

[El Mexicano]

Ray Hill played the Japan Open this year and recommended getting some 150 class Tereexs. He said they will help with the turnovers you'll get from the lighter weights. Anything that is overstable will work in the 150 class. Avoid that VALK!

[Mike S]

Remember, the last BG league is tomorrow at 5:45.  Ace fund starts at $58, if nobody hits one we will have a CTP for the money in the fund.

[Chainmeister]

I hope to get there in time.  Leaving from Belvidere @430pm.  There were a couple of kids at BG yesterday looking to buy a couple discs.  I told them to show up around 530pm and they would be sure to find something for sale.  One kid had a valk and a wraith.  I told him he needed a putter.

[nickwc]

I'll have some discs, star TL's, Starfires, Beasts. Champ Teebirds, Starfires, Orcs, Beasts, Roadrunners, Spiders, Classic Rocs. DX Wraiths, aviars, rocs. Plus a bunch of other stuff.

[UMphreak]

So who took home the ace fund?
