This is a cool format! I will be attending some of these events!!!   Thanks for doing this, I was wondering if any winter leagues were going to happen!

[ryan50921]

I will for sure be coming out to some of these.  I'm been dying for a singles league, and since I moved up to the northern burbs, joliet handicap league is quite a haul now!

[jimklem]

Leagues for tomorrow, Sunday, Feb. 2nd will be at Central Park in Grayslake.
Please get there @ 9:45 so we can start at 10am, or even earlier if you'd like to help shovel teepads.
Hope to see lots of folks out there!

One newer player showed up today and kicked my butt. Beautiful day with lots of sun made it almost tolerable when putting and approaching in knee-deep snow. Thanks for coming out, Joe!

The attached Excel document shows all the stats for this league. I will update it and repost each week.

[jimklem]

I will be getting to the Diamond Lake Disc Golf Course between 8am and 8:30am today to shovel off teepads.
I will have fresh coffee and hand warmers available - come on out and have fun kicking Winter's butt.
Tee-off at 10am.

Is it 2 rounds of 9 at Diamond Lake?

[jimklem]

Thanks to Phil, Adam, and Tom for braving some deep snow and bone-chilling winds this past Sunday.
Tom shot a crazy-hot round!
Updated statistics sheet is attached.

This Sunday: Grayslake at 10am!

[jimklem]

I will be out there around 8:30 this morning to work on the teepads. If anyone wants to join me, please do - and bring an ice breaker. Mine is currently in my shed, which is frozen shut with ice. Ironic, huh? Thanks!

[jimklem]

Good playing today!  Thanks to the six players showed up and we saw some fun shots.
Thanks to Phil B and friend for getting out on Saturday and helping to clear those icy tees!
Tom S is currently the hot player, taking home 1st place two weeks in a row.

Updated stats sheet is attached.

[Trevor Greene]

Had a lot of fun out there!  We are playing the Rockford doubles event next week, but
I will see you guys at diamond lake the following week!

Thanks again we had a blast

[jimklem]

Good to see you, Trevor - and everyone else!

This Sunday, Feb. 23rd, leagues will be at Bevier Park in Waukegan at 10am.  CTP will be Hole 15. Ace Pool is at $35.

Come on out and have some fun!  Winter isn't going away yet, so you might as well have fun throwing some disc!

[jimklem]

Another fun week is in the books!
Some good shooting today.
HUGE THANKS to Adam Weber and Phil Bartkicky for shoveling the teepads yesterday!

Updated stats sheet is attached.

Diamond Lake this sunday?

[jimklem]

Yep!  Diamond Lake Sports Complex at 10am.
It is on Route 60, just 200 feet past the Irish Mill.

Ace Pool is at $40. There are a few ace round here. Come on out and win some cash!

[Trevor Greene]

What time are you planning to be out there?  I live 3 mins from the course, I  may be able to come out a little early to help clean it up. 


Just let me know!

T-

[jimklem]

That would be fantastic, Trevor!
I will be getting there around 8:30.
If you can, please bring an ice scraper or a hoe, as mine is still frozen inside my shed.
I truly appreciate it.
Just text me if I am already out on the course when you get there. 847-471-2169.

It is going to be perhaps the harshest weather we've had to play in so far. The snow/ice will be deep, so I am bringing chalk to mark your discs if you choose. Also bringing extra hand warmers.

On the bright side, we've seen some pretty cool things so far during leagues: great drives and putts, wild skips, beautiful scenery, and meeting new friends. Thanks to all the folks who keep braving the elements to have some discing fun.

Hope to see you out there!

Week 6: 4 hearty souls endured some rough conditions today, but we still had fun!
Updated stats sheet is attached.

ATTENTION: The next 3 weeks of Winter League will be played at Bevier.
We will not play Grayslake next week or Diamond Lake the week after.
This is due to the terrible conditions of the teepads at Diamond Lake and Grayslake.
Even with ice chippers, we were throwing from deep, icy boxes.
It isn't safe or enjoyable.
So, because the teepads at Bevier are in the best condition, and are easiest to maintain, the 3 remaining league dates will be at Bevier Park at 10am.

Thanks!

[Trevor Greene]

Thanks Jim
