Disc Outfitters Spring Equinox, Saturday March 19th. I’m planning on going, anybody interested in joining me? If you need more details, let me know.

We had a few small groups playing separately on Sunday.
Russ, Boger and the not too oft seen Dave “DBoss” Briscoe made an early trip around the track. Russ had a solid round with only one little hitch on 6.
Russ: 58
Boger: 63
Dave: 86

Nick and The Real Glen Miller showed up for the regularly scheduled round. Unfortunately prior engagements kept me from making the 1:15 tee time; sorry fellas. Glen, I have your white Shark in my bin that was in my wife’s vehicle, not my truck. My bad.
Glen M: 5 4 5 3 3 4 2 5 4 (35) 3 5 4 4 4 3 3 4 3 (33) = 68
Nick K: 6 4 6 4 4 3 4 6 4 (41) 4 5 3 5 5 4 6 7 4 (43) = 84

Ski embarrassed me. We were neck and neck through the front, but I couldn’t keep it together on the back. Coupled with a lost disc on 17 (I got a new disc for anyone that finds it) and a rare OB on 18, I just couldn’t hang.
Ski: 59
Brad: 67

Still time before I lace the disc order, if you want something, let me know ASAP.
And come with me to Rockburn, it’ll be a blast.
See ya on the course!

Double week update. February 13th saw unseasonably warm weather, and a group of 6 ventured out for a round of mob golf. Russ and I both had to bail after hole 16 for different reasons, but the rest carried on.
Dan B………63…(57 after 16)
Dick G……..70
Nick K……..85
Thom………88
Brad after 16….56
Russ after 16….58

This past Sunday was another warm one, and Russ, Dan and Myself put it to good use. At least Dan and Russ did… The wheels came off early for me and when I finally pulled some semblance of a round together it was too little too late. Russ was hot and cold all round, 5 deuces, but a few too many high numbers. Dan “I have my full bag now, so you guys are in trouble” Becker was a model of consistency. He couldn’t miss on the front 9, and by the time he missed a few (very few) on the back it was all over.

April 2nd, 2011 Fools At The Falls, PDGA C-tier.

Thom is signed up, are you?
We had our largest tournament ever last August with 79 people. The word is getting out that the Falls is no joke and we don’t play around when it comes to putting on a tournament. April 2nd will be limited to 72 Fools, so don’t be left out!
Anybody that is interested in sponsoring a tee sign, either personally or through your place of work, let me know.

When you’re out at the course make a conscious effort to pick up any trash or stray limbs/twigs/sticks. Let me know if there’s anything major that needs attention and I’ll see that it gets taken care of.

There are two different fantasy Disc Golf sites running, each one works a little different. Check them out, and look for me to beat you. Ferretdance03

Freeze Recap
A chilly day in January was the backdrop for a successful Whispering Falls Freeze. And freeze we did, with temps in single digits most of the morning, the wind chill kept all 32 brave competitors (16 teams) bundled up most of the day.
The course played very well, with a nice frozen crust on top of the powder footing was mostly good all day. Unfortunately, most of the baskets were frozen in place so we were unable to switch up the round layouts as much as normal, but a few temp baskets did make for some interesting holes. Hole 16 turned into the “Frozen Tundra” with a pin placement out in the field between 16A and 14’s tee pad. The most talked about hole, however, was 3C. Due to the snow on the ground we thought it best for safety’s sake to forego playing 3B and avoid the hill. Not wanting to diminish the usual Whispering Falls difficulty, we opted to play from 3’s tee pad to basket 1B. Think about that for a minute. Three teams managed to card the birdie 3, impressive.
Competition was tight among the cash division, with three pairs turning in first round 53’s, one 54, and one 55. The second round saw a little more separation, but it was still a hotly contested race. The plastic division also had a tight first round with three 60’s, one 61 and one 62. Again, the second round separated everyone a little bit, but no one ran away with it. Must have been the delicious hot dog sundaes that evened the field.

John Buck won the CTP throw off for the ace pot money, netting himself somewhere around $30. Despite my best efforts, Wayne Trump managed to have the Furthest From The Pin (read:worst) throw, and netted himself a disc of choice for his efforts.

The big winner was Greencastle Presbyterian Church’s food bank. We raised $200 and around 25lbs of canned food to donate. Thanks to everyone for their donations!

I want to thank everyone that came out and braved the cold and wind to help us raise money for the food bank. I also want to thank everyone that helped out and made this possible. Russell, my permanent Co-TD; My wife, Cari, for making and delivering half of lunch and all the behind the scenes support; My brother, Tim for being the best check-in taking/score checking/payout calculating/non-playing assistant I could ask for; My mom for making lunch; My dad for the setup and registration help, picture taking and constant support; Thom for bringing hot dogs and scorecards/maps; Matt and Boger for the use of their practice baskets; Ski for shoveling pads; Becker for bringing cookies; and the Antrim Township Maintenance Crew and Park Committee for their constant support.

It’s been a lengthy hiatus from updates, I’m blaming the cold weather. Past weeks’ scores will be at the bottom. Yesterday’s cold and blustery Sunday Funday Travel League had
Russ, Matt, Thom and Myself in Seneca with a rather large group from Harrisburg/Boulder Woods/Codorus and beyond. In usual 717 fashion we were the first to arrive and played a nine hole loop before meeting up with the rest of the group for the official tee off. Dr. Wang (Matt/Thom) and Me and My B*tch (Brad/Russ) formed a card and ventured around the 27 hole track. There were good shots, great shots and shots we won’t be discussing again. Me and My B*tch left Seneca two strokes off the lead, but our caravan headed home rather than playing the last legs of the Trifecta. Fun was had by all, so I call the Funday a success. Be on the look out for info on upcoming events.

Mark your calenders and schedule your vacation time. The 2011 Whispering Falls calender has been set and approved by the powers that be. Take note, due to the continued success of our beloved Harvest tournament, we will be running a second PDGA sanctioned event this year. This success is only possible with the help and efforts of you, our studious club members and patrons. Without further ado:

• Sunday January 16: 4th Annual Falls Freeze; Ice Bowl charity
• Saturday April 2: Fools at the Falls; PDGA C-tier
• Saturday August 13: 4th Annual Whispering Falls Harvest; PDGA C-tier

As usual, we will be doing our best to make these events top notch, and will be asking for assistance from you. Start thinking about ways you can help out. Many hands make light work.

Just a reminder, we’re still playing on Sundays. With the fast approaching dark, we’ve been trying to tee of as close to 1 o’clock as possible. If you’re coming and won’t be there by 1, let me know.
Stay warm, see ya on the course!

Trifectas

30 11 2010

Well, first off, hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend.

Now, as some of you know, the Boulder Woods Country Club Llamas of Gifford Pinochet State Park have been doing these crazy things called Trifectas. We’re taking that idea a little farther and turning it into a monthly event. We may not get through all three (3) courses the first time, but we’ll have a blast trying.

These events came out of a desire to see how much disc we could play in the limited amount of daylight that winter provides us. Now we are not going to push like crazy on the first one to finish in daylight. We are going to see what its like with a crowd. We are going to be playing Seneca Creek State Park, Heritage Farm Park and Woodsboro Park if time allots. Seneca Creek is a 27 hole layout. There are short and long tees along with multiple basket locations. We will be playing all 27 holes from the Short Tee’s. There will be a score card provided which shows the proper Tee and Basket location for Sunday.

Then we are off to Heritage Farm Park. We will be doing lunch in the parking lot of Heritage Farm Park. This way those who brought there lunch can sit down and enjoy everyone’s company and those who did not bring a lunch will have the chance to grab something on there way and eat with us all if they choose. We will then promptly Tee off once everyone is ready, this is the part that is flexible. 3pm is the rough tee time, this time is not set in stone and depends on the length of time it takes to play Seneca. There is 18 holes of disc golf at Heritage Farm Park. This course should go a bit faster than Seneca Creek.

Now depending on the amount of daylight left we are going to try to squeeze in 9 holes at Woodsboro Park. This is another flexible part of the day.

As far as schedule goes, I know its flexible but this is the best guess and what we are sticking to.

We are going to be meeting at McDonalds in Dillsburg, PA. We need to be on the road by 7:45am. So if people could be there 15 mins or so early that would be a huge help. We will then be making a stop at the Sheetz, just outsideGettysburg, where 15 and 30 cross. From there we will be heading south to Seneca.

We are asking everyone to print off there own directions and know how to get to the courses and from course to course. We have provided links to all maps and information you will need. This is in effort to make travel easier for us all on Sunday. We will provide a Scorecard and Map for each course.

Also, anyone who has a camera please feel free to bring and take as many pictures and videos as you want. We can post them on Facebook and on Disc Golf Scene for the world to see what they are missing out on.

Again, I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday for the kick off event.

It’s been quite some time since I sent an email; although by the turnout the past two weeks I suspect nobody is missing it… We, and by we I really mean me and whoever else shows up, are still playing on Sunday afternoons…With the time change we’ll start to tee off a little earlier than before, around1:15 if possible. Don’t be shy, the weather has been beautiful; it won’t be long before there’s snow on the ground and nobody will want to come out then.
