Week 5; Putting League Ended With Awarding Of 9 More Discs!

9 were discs given away as the 2022 fall putting league ended. With donations from Royce Racinowski of The Flying Disc Pro Shop (4), the Greater Rochester Disc Club (4) as well as a disc donated by Elise and Kyle Lieberman (1), we were able to give away 9 discs on week 5.  

Chip Draw Disc Winners:

Too many disc winners to list here in a space that is better used for thanking all of the people involved with making the Putting League fun and successful. A list of disc winners is noted on the League Totals page.

Nick Stewart and Colin Nobles brought high quality baskets each week so that the we did not have to use my lower quality, light weight baskets that are easy for me to transport but don’t catch as well.  Elise and Kyle Lieberman brought a backstop net that stopped bunches of shots from invading the basket ball court floor below the stage.

Nick Stewart donated the Luna putter, Brett Chipman donated the Discmania MD2 putter and Elise and Kyle Lieberman donated a putter as well as bringing ginger snap cookies for all on holiday putting, Week 5.

I want to thank all of you for contributing to the fun and success of the putting league. You all came with the “lets all have some fun” attitude and your help transporting, assembling baskets, obstacles and then disassembling and transport at the end of the night is key to the league working. Thank you!

Calling You Out

• I have some lower quality baskets that don’t catch well – but we have not had to use them this season because of the high quality baskets brought by Nick Stewart and Colin Nobles. 
• We also had less issues chasing errant putts from the elevated stage because of the backstop net brought by Elise and Kyle Lieberman.
• The discs for the chip draw each week are provided by the putting league sponsor Royce Racinowski of The Flying Disc Pro Shop. The winner of the week 4 chip draw was Colin Nobles who selected, “a little red corvette”.
• Putting Challenge Donations and Winners: The 2 discs we were able to give away for the putting

  

  challenges were donated. Nick Stewart donated the Luna putter that was won by Barry Nobles. Brett Chipman donated the Discmania MD2 putter that was won by Kyle Lieberman. Both are very nice discs!

Tuesday is the 5th and final week of league and it is the holiday edition of putting league. For ambiance, I will have a play list of holiday music. 

For those that can stay after round 3, I have an idea for a new challenge, one never done before in the putting league, so we can give away more challenge prizes. 🙂

I hope all of you can make it.

Well done!

If you made some putts on week 3 – Well done!

The hole designers have been doing an excellent job of coming up with interesting and challenging layouts, with the difficulty factor of weeks #2 and # 3 being higher than week 1.  If you have had more difficulty making putts on weeks 2 and 3, you are not alone. Here are some statistics:

A Challenging Course.

Kudos to the hole designers this week as it was both entertaining and challenging. The putting layouts this week were more challenging than Week 1 as reflected in lower point totals across the board: No team scored more than 80 points on any round. The layouts required a number of straddle putts and the strategic placement of obstacles tested everyone.

If you made some putts this week – Well done!

As usual, the little basket of hate in the hall claimed more victims. The people in the gym may not have been aware of your pain because, … in the hall, no one can hear you scream …

Week 1 Success!
Even though we had a shortened time slot because of the scheduling overlap, week 1 was a success. I want to thank everyone for helping with the set up, tear down and transport of the equipment. I would not be able to run the putting league without your assistance.

Redesigned Obstacles Worked.
The redesigned obstacles appeared to be an improvement as the set up and tear down seemed to be both easier and faster than last year.

Thank you!
The league would not work without the help all of you provided each week.

Toughest Week Yet!
The league description states, “We will use varying distances and obstacles to create progressively more difficult, and interesting putts.” That was on clear display for week 5. Week 5 had the most difficult layouts of the season. There were a lot of discs on the floor this week scattered around the baskets. Kudos to you for all the made putts.

Top 3 League Totals
The top three point getters and the discs they chose were:
Pat Mehls: 1,002, chose a disc from Lina’s on Landing.

Challenging Putts!
There have been very creative hole layouts this season. Kudos to you folks for your ingenuity. The unusual challenges this week included the upward blowing fan in front of the basket on hole #2, the “throw over the top” putt for tee #2 on basket #3 and the Over/Under on #5. The grumpy little basket of hate in the hallway still hates everyone equally – Don’t take it personally.  If you had a tough week — so did a lot of others. No team reached the 100 point total for any round this week.

Flying Disc Pro Shop Chip Draw Disc Winners.
Week 1: Jim Palmeri, chose an orange Innova Champion Corvette from Royce Racinowski of The Flying Disc Pro Shop.
Week 2: Brett Chipman, chose a disc from Lina’s on Landing.
Week 3: Ryan Caferra, chose a purple Discraft Sol from Royce Racinowski of The Flying Disc Pro Shop.
Week 4: Elise Lieberman, chose a yellow Innova Orc from Royce Racinowski of The Flying Disc Pro Shop.

Putting Challenge: Ran out of time. Oops.
Unfortunately, I underestimated the time needed for the “Roll and Putt” challenge, so we had to end the challenge before there was a winner. We can do a different putting challenge on week #5.

League Total Points: Top 12 Rounds (4 weeks).
The points for a player’s top 12 rounds (from any 4 weeks) are used for the point totals on the leader board. If a player attended all 5 weeks the lowest 3 round totals will be dropped. If a player attended 4 weeks or less, all of their round points will be use for the leader board. Therefore, next week, week #5, will be “Moving Day”, because some players lower on the leader board have not had 12 rounds of points used for their total points.
