May Match Play

The May Match Play Tourney went swimmingly at Addison Oaks. It was a little bit smaller of a turn out than one of usual tournaments but nonetheless we were in good company as always. Trying out our new handicap system, implemented by Leonard Johnson we found two very close rounds of match play golf. Each match up finished with just a couple hole deficit to the losing player keeping things interesting the entire way. This scoring system should give the club an interest fourth season of disc golf. After the first round of golf Mike Wolters, our previous tournament winner came out on top followed by Kyle Jansen and Jimmy J. With a tie breaker of most birdies the two facing off in the top card were Kyle and Mike … Read entire article »

July Road Trip Booked

Last weekend the Traverse City Road Trip was officially booked. We have 2 sites at the Interlochen State Park one for the motorhome and another for the tents. Overall we should have enough room for 3 tents but lets try to consolidate as much as we can to save some room. The weekend still stands as July 13-15 and we will be beginning our weekend of 6 rounds in Grayling at the Hanson Hills Recreation Area. As always to stay on the route of conservation we will have a car from each side of the state traveling up so car pools will be available if needed. Randy Gallagher will be running the car pool on the west side and at this point I am unsure of who will be on the … Read entire article »

Robert Morris & Company

The Kalamazoo event was a fun event this past weekend starting at Robert Morris Park. The forecast had shown that it was supposed to be a warm day but the first round was full of precipitation. The first round started off a little shaky by both teams with a few great shots here and there to make up for a couple rough ones. Overall the newer golfer Randy Sr. showed great improvement through the day making long putts and having great proximity with up shots. The first two CTPs of the day were at hole 8 and 9 and were won by Kyle Jansen and Randy Gallagher respectively. For this round the score was for once proportional to the stroke play. The round ended with Kyle/RG playing even for 12 … Read entire article »

Traverse City & More

So it looks like we will be heading to Interlochen State Park for some camping for our Traverse City trip. We had a 4-1 vote. I will be making reservations next weekend or so and will be collecting deposits from everyone starting at our Deerfield event. If everyone puts in a $20 for this we should be fine on the reservations and anything that is left over will be used for food, firewood, or beer..the essentials. I will also start collecting for the MiMPA registration next weekend as well. $34/person will get us into the association as a club and will allow four players to each event for free. Anyone else that comes along on those days we will split the cost among us that day. One more thing to think … Read entire article »

Seymour-Ice

Seymour Lake was a fun course that was new to some of us and home to others. The expansive course offered a great mix of holes and challenges but the most prominent challenge of the day was getting a good foothold on the large sheets of ice. There were several shots that quickly became dangerous as our players slipped around on their follow through. Even the trek from hole to hole was a bit slippery. Overall we had the usual crew out there with Kyle dominating the course with his long open drives. Through both rounds the course seemed favorable to his long arm and allowed a great chance for skins. Once the short and slippery holes came into play everyone else came alive but didn’t necessarily cash out the … Read entire article »
