2nd Annual Dead Leaves Doubles – Wrap Up & Results

The 2nd Annual Dead Leaves Doubles is in the books and it was a HUGE success. Though we only had 6 more teams than last year, we managed to raise 3 times as much money as last year. We now have the funding to purchase a new basket and have 12 permanent holes on the course.

We don’t even know where to begin thanking people. First we’d like to thank everyone that came out to the event, without your support Adam and I would not have the means to keep making improvement to the course. We’d like to thank Gene Turchetti who donated the $200 added cash for the event. We need to thank Karen Garytock who donated the hotdogs and buns for lunch, Fran Graytock who lent us his grill, and Alan Mindas Sr, who did the cooking. Also need to thank Missi Solt for the macaroni salad, Mary Mindas for the brownies, and Holly Mindas for the pretzels. We have to thank Jesse Graytock who donated the CTB prizes. We want to thank the people that donated some of all of their winnings back to the course, and the people who just handed us extra cash. A big thanks to Jimmy Wolfe, Ryan Jones, and Billy Bowman for their help getting the course ready. Also a thank you to everyone who lent us portable baskets. Thank you to Mike Solt (Mr. Disc Golf) for doing our online registration and bringing all his supplies to the course.

I am sure i am forgetting to thank some people, but you know who you are and everyone’s efforts were greatly appreciated. Be sure to keep a lookout for next years event.

Doubles Results – 5-1-11

We had 6 players come out for the first Doubles round this year. We played the full 10 the first round, but couldn’t play Hole 7 second time through due to a Little League game.

$18 was paid to winners, with $6 being added to the course fund. No aces, so the pot is now at $33.

As soon as the weather is right and the course is green I am going to attempt to start up weekly Doubles again.

I am open to suggestions as to which day of the week works best for people. Post up your comments and concerns here.

There is currently $27 sitting in the Ace Pot from last year..who wants it?

2nd Annual Dead Leaves Doubles

The Forest City Disc Golf Association is once again asking for your support to help raise money for the course at Kennedy Park. With the money raised last year, we were able to purchase our 10th permanent basket.

This is going to be a bring your own partner doubles event, like last year, and we are going to try and come up with some new temporary holes to make the course bigger and badder.

When: Saturday October 16th
Where: Kennedy Park DGC (Forest City, PA)

I will be posting more information in the coming months concerning the divisions, costs, and schedule.

Bring on the sun!

The warm weather is fast approaching, we hope, but there is still a lot of snow on the course. Hopefully the warm temps and sunshine will melt it away.

There are more course improvements slated for this summer, including some clearing and alternate pin placements and tees.

We would like to run a weekly doubles again this year if more people show interest.

We are also proud to announce the 2nd Annual Dead Leaves Doubles tournament.

We are looking forward to a spectacular 2011 disc golf season.
