SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

Yep, the famous line from the movie Jerry Maguire!


Thats where we are at. Don't get me wrong, we are doing ok, the support we have gotten is amazing. We have gotten small donations, business sponsors, folks handing me a 20$. We have had friends offer to give us radio time, do an article in The Sentinel. Local disc golf clubs have stepped up…yes I am talking about you Top of The Hill and the gang at Devens. My Mom threw us a donation , and my son who does not play donated to help support the cause. My ex dropped some ching!


And so now we want to wrap this up. I WANT to wrap this up.  Our goal was 5000.00$ and we have raised about half that. And while I have been pestering the disc golf world to chip a few bucks, the locals have been putting in the time and sweat cutting and clearing the back 9. These guys see a fairway where most just see trees. They imagine killer drives where none now exist. They have already seen that big putt you will hit next year on Hole 12! And they have also seen that nasty roll away…The locals  at Otter Brook are putting in the time, the effort and their own money to make this happen. And for selfish reasons. Very selfish reasons

We want one of the best courses in New England in our back yard.


And as selfish as that may be, we also want to share it with the rest of New England. For free. Any time you want. And not free with purchase…Free Free. And then you can go from Otter Brook and check out Tully, or Pinnacle. Throw down the hill at Sunappe, hit Wilton, or go check out the new Eric McCabe course in Manchester. Wednesday?…Play league  at Top of The Hill (tell Marty I said Hi!). There is a 9 hole over in Brattleboro and if you are feeling adventerous head over to Willmington to play with the guys at Beaver Lanes. All this is within an hour or so of Otter Brook.


So back to Jerry Maguire…


If you are part of this disc golf community…Show us the money. You know you and your friends are going to come play when we are an 18 hole course. Show us the money!  Seriously… think about what we are asking! Please give us money to buy baskets so we can bust our ass to give you an exceptional course to play. For Free. 


And I have to to think that is worth a couple bucks!

Sunday Dubz! Summer Edition.

Sunday league spring season is over. Bryan Lake takes the 1 slot (to bad his tag does not match) after a 3 hole playoff with Shane Bilodeau. Kevin Lydon took the 3rd spot and Rob Breckenridge took 4th. We had 22 different players come out and raised 302.00$ for the Back 9 and paid out 276.00$ in prizes. The Ace Pot did not get hit and now stands at 147.00$ And for you Ace pot lurkers out there…you must be a tag holding KDGC member to collect!

The new season starts this Sunday and we are sticking with same schedule, but are going to give the scoring a slight twist. We will go over at league, but basically you get a point for everyone you finish ahead of and a bonus for 1st through 3rd. The idea being a win with 20 people playing is worth more than when 8 people are playing.

And like this spring we will have some prizes for the top finishers.

Now when I read this it sounds super formal and very competitive. Don't let the fact we play for money, and keep track scare you away. EVEYONE is welcome at Sunday Doubles. We have kids as young as 11 that come out and play, we have old guys ( ok I guess that is a bunch of us), we have women (well woman, but we are always looking for more) and we have teens that come out and play. We have people that have played for years and we have new comers that just started playing this spring.

Deal is, if you want to play…come on out. Honest, its a good group of people and a lot of fun. And I guarantee it will improve your game.

Details: Costs 5$ to play. 3$ goes to prizes, 1$ to the course and 1$ goes to Ace pot.(Hole in one) For the summer we will be meeting in "lower" Otter Brook. Just follow the road, I don't think you can miss us. We draw for partners at 9:30 and then hit the course. For the summer we will be playing 10 holes plus playoff if need be. Soon…very soon we will be playing 18, but right now a round takes about an hour and we are out of there around 11.

More Details: The last Sunday of the month is more competitive as we play 18 holes, stroke play for bag tags and glory. What are bag tags you ask? Well each KDGC member has a tag with a number. 1 through 10 are gold metal tags, and the rest are not! Tags are an informal ranking of members. You can challenge your friends anytime, and swap tags anytime…but the last Sunday of the month is when the most tags come out, and you can see how you rank against the rest of the club. You can become a member and get a tag (I think we are at 28 or 29) for 20$

So come on out. This is all for fun and we would love to see you!

    Just a sub 900 player with time on his hands…a passion for the sport, and something to say.
