Buffalo Grove Doubles *Mondays*

[Mike S]

bump

Doubles at the normal time tonight (6:00).  Low turnout last week, since it was a torrential downpour in BG at about 5:30.  Still had enough to play, though.  Ace Pool starts this week at $36.

Up to date results, points, and course stats attached.

[Mike S]

Good turnout tonight- 23 players.  I think this has the potential to turn into a big league this summer, as word gets around.  Definitely have some good players showing up.  I'll put up the results tomorrow.  Ace was not hit so the fund starts at $59 next week.

[UMphreak]

Let's try to get more than 23 players out this week.  yeahyeahaaaaa

[Cannon Boy]

No dice for me.  I am done with leages.  UPS M-F 430 to 930

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.

That's how we have been playing it at Shady Oaks.  We also make their partner carry the "lava" disc so that they don't accidentally use it 

[Mike S]

We havent been doing the hot lava thing, only playing the paths as OB.

Havent posted any results since work has been crazy this week.  Worked a 14 hour day yesterday, which is always fun.   We had 16 people this week though.  It was pretty windy and the scores were pretty high, -6 took it and 4 teams tied for 2nd at -5.  (CTP Tiebreaker)

Ace pool starts at $75 next week.  We are capping it at $100 and putting all money into a second fund if we get to that point.

[Mike S]

OK, I swear I am gonna get the results spreadsheet updated this week.  A few people were asking me about points this week so I wanna get updated numbers for those up ASAP.

Good turnout again last night, 20 players with a few new faces.  Thanks to everyone for coming out- I really think this league still has a lot of growing room and its good to see that word is getting around.  Ryan U. and I won last night with a -10 ($50), and there were two other teams tied for second and third at -7 ($20 and $10).

I hit an ace on hole 6 and split the $95 with Ryan.    I'm having a really good week of golf, hopefully I can keep it up for this weekend.  Ace pool starts fresh next week.

[UMphreak]

Just a quick note, Michler hit $15 ace on alt. 4 aka #13 and won it with a 43.  He also won an extra 11 with the 50/50 and Zac N. got the other half of it.  There was a tie for second with a -9 and Tom S. and his partner won the ctp playoff on hole #9 for $18.  Total of 15 people yesterday.  See ya next week.

Ok, start the NOOB comments now, but how do you play doubles?

I use to play a lot when I went to ISU, took about 4 years off and now I just started throwing again last week.

i got this one.

Doubles Play:

1.  My partner throws his Champion Firebrid, which happens to be the only disc he carries.  His forehand roller goes upwards of 75 feet before taking a hard right into the woods.

2.  I throw a shot which leaves us a long putt.  Since my shot is not completely ridiculous, both me and my partner will now throw from my lie.  We both miss the putt badly and then tap out from where my Rattler ended up since its much closer that where the Firebird putt flew to.

If you really are a NOOB, then I would suggest you come out to Adler leagues on Tuesday nights @6pm.  You will fit right in with about 75% of the players there.  If you can make a 10 foot putt then I will be praying that I draw you instead of the misc. firebird chucker that I'm used to getting.

So it's like Best Shot, in real golf?

Adler, on tuesday nights? In Libertyville?
I'm totally down. I work 10 minutes away from there in Lake Bluff. I haven't played that course yet.
I'm obviously not going to be there next tuesday, however, I can make it on the 11th.

I get off at 3:30, so I'll be there early for a practice round or 2 if anyone wants to throw with me and show me the course.

[Dan Michler]

its is best shot.

yeah its the one in libertyville.

i'm usually there pretty early too.

[WkeBrd3]

From what I'm reading elsewhere, it seems as though there's quite a bunch of punk a$$ kids up at Adler.

So what should I expect at this thing?

(Sorry to hijack)

[mirth]

also, if you're into sunday morning disc golf we have best shot in Waukegan @ 10.

[WkeBrd3]

Excuse the ignorance again, but how does best shot work?

This might be of more assistance (aka, too lazy to type all this stuff out):

Eevryone, neither Rocky or I can make it up to BG tonight.  I have to drive some friends out to the Airport and Rocky has to work.  We will NOT be running the normal doubles tonight.  We will start it up again as usual, next monday.  Ace pool starts fresh.

[Dan Michler]

i'll be at the park and will play 5 dollar doubles if anybody wants to.

[DiscGolfSchodt]

I'LL BE THERE DAN

[Dan Michler]

Tom/Mike, I hope you both enjoyed that friendly path skip on the last hole   

Not that I'm a sore loser
