LEAGUE IS AT TALL GRASS DCG THIS WEEK
There will be two 12-week leagues, with two divisions of skill offered each night.
There will be no league play on July 4.
Spring league dates: April 18-July 18
Summer league dates: July 25-Oct. 12
Time & place: 5:30 p.m. Thursdays, Bancroft Bay Park, alternating courses every week
Same prices as last year.
Open: $7
Advanced: $5
Intermediate: $3
Women: $5
Membership: You don’t have to be a Flying Lea Disc Golf Club member to participate in league or league points races, but only members get bag tags and only members are eligible for the cumulative points race for 2014 PDGA memberships.
Fundraising goal: Last year funds raised mainly went toward rental equipment for the Oak Island Disc Golf Course. This year, we want to pour concrete on as many tee pads at Riverland DGC as possible. We probably will do 6 to 8 tee pads at a time, as we raise the dough, rather than the whole course at once.
Plaques: The points race works the same as last year. Players get one point for showing up, then one point for every player they beat within their division. Top three players in each division in spring league get plaques. So do the top three players in each division in the summer league.
PDGA memberships: Because there are so many tournaments out there these days, there will be no Flying Lea Championship. (Also, it allows us to put more $$ toward tee pads.) Instead, a separate, cumulative race only for Flying Lea members will determine who wins the four PDGA memberships for 2014. The race is based on both spring and summer leagues. IT IS NOT BASED ON DIVISION. IT WILL AVERAGE OUT YOUR 10 BEST SCORES of Thursday night league play (five from Tall Grass and five from Oak Island). The four players with the best averages will win PDGA memberships.
Points race prizes: These are based on the cumulative points race (both spring and summer leagues) explained in the previous segment.
1-4: PDGA memberships
5-10: Discs
11-15: Lights
Bag Tag Safari: Instead of holding a Bag Tag Opener and a Spring Safari Tournament separately, we will combine the two. The Bag Tag Safari will take place Sunday, April 7, at Tall Grass Disc Golf Course at Bancroft Bay Park. There will be two rounds on 21 holes. Players must join the Flying Lea Disc Golf Club for $5 to participate. Top winners get bag tags. They also may pay an optional $20 if they wish to compete for cash on a leaderboard basis. Tim Engstrom and Buck Monson designed the safari course.

Bag Tag Safari Opener
Date: Sunday, April 7
Location: Tall Grass Disc Golf Course, Safari Layout, Bancroft Bay Park
Course setup: 8 a.m.
Registration: 9-9:30 a.m.
Tee time: 10 a.m.
Competition: Two rounds on a 21-hole safari course designed by Tim Engstrom and Buck Monson (see map). The results will determine bag tag order for the start of the season.
Cost: $5 membership in club. Players get a bag tag after the round.
Extras: $1 for ace pool, $1 for disc CTP prizes (Holes 4 & 11), $1 for cash CTP (Hole 21)
Optional: Players who wish to compete for cash in addition to bag tags have the option to kick in $20. They will compete against other players who paid the option (that means only one division) on a leaderboard basis, and all the money from this fund is held separately from the memberships and will get paid out after the round based on a standard PDGA payout sheet. Again, this is only optional.
Bag tags: There are tags for men or women. To buy both costs an extra $5. The men’s colors are to be maroon and gold (like U of Minnesota colors), and the women’s colors are to be pink and purple.
Sponsor: Nancy VanderWaerdt State Farm Insurance pays for the costs of the bag tags. Thank you, Nancy!
