While Chris Faunce was doing some final weedeating on the course for tomorrow's tournament, his weedeater broke. If anyone has a weedeater and time to do some weedeating on the course today we would GREATLY appreciate it. Holes 14 and 15 are all that is left to be done. Please comment (on Facebook post or SAW website) if you are able to rescue us. Thanks in advance!

We plan to play the tournament layout tonight that will be used in Saturday's tourney. So for those of you planning on going to the tournament, this will be a great opportunity to get a practice round in. The only difference in the layout will be that we probably wont set up the 10A temp hole tonight so for tag league we'll probably just play the hole 10 we have been playing ever since we lost old hole 10. If you haven't seen the layout, you can find it at this link. Be at MHP at 5:45; we'll start at 6.
This will give everyone a chance to go practice the course these next couple days to help prepare for the competition on Saturday. All divisions will be playing the same layout. As you can see in the above picture... there are a mix of Red and Blue tees that will be used. There are also a couple regular holes being skipped and a couple temp holes to replace them. Hole 7 will be skipped and the "new" hole 10 will be skipped. The 1st temp hole will be 10A which will be similar to the old hole 10 that got taken away; we will tee off from its gravel teepad and a temp basket will be placed near where the basket used to be. This temp basket will not be set up until the morning of the tournament. The 2nd temp hole will be 16A. Basically hole 16 is being split into 2 separate holes. Hole 16 will be the short hole from red tee to yellow basket then hole 16A will play from a temp tee in the flat area near the softball field fence to 16's orange basket.
This layout is mostly set in stone but as always, subject to change. *Updated with changes on 5/5/16 @ 11:25pm
Come on out to this Saturday's PDGA tournament to help honor Will "Carson" Grant. Will passed away this past March but will never be forgotten; he certainly left his mark throughout the community including the Staunton disc golf club. Check out the earlier blog post for more info on Will. For those that knew Will, you will notice some familiar things throughout this tournament. One of his favorite holes, number 16 (red to yellow), will be in play. Out-of-bounds will "be in play" on several holes including the pond hole. Plastic flowers will be located on a few holes which is something that Will always liked to do. There will also be Will Grant style trophies for the winners similar to what is seen in the following photos: We also [jokingly] thought about providing MP3 files of stories told by Will to all the players that would be required to be listened to during tournament play.
Club Memberships will also be on sale during the tournament check-in. This year we are selling memberships at a "Will Grant Special" $10. You will receive a club tag to be used in club tag rounds. We hope to see you on Saturday! Tournament info found at this link and on our Facebook page. Although these fairies have not been seen, the evidence they left behind can be. These fairies apparently have been readying the course for the PDGA tourney on Saturday. Here is some of what was found.... Hole 5 in the Rocks pin is ready to punish players with some roll-aways - Hole 16a entrance to the green BEFORE and AFTER Staunton Parks and Rec have also been mowing the open areas so that is a relief since the grass on some of the holes was pretty tall. I hope everyone is looking forward to Saturday!
Weather is shaping up to provide us with a beautiful day for a tournament on Saturday... High around 75 degrees, and mostly sunny skies. Below is the tournament flyer with all the info. Go register! Also, if anyone is free throughout this week to help with course cleanup, Chris Faunce would love the help to get the course ready. His contact info is on the flyer. Online Registration also available at DiscGolfScene.
Last Thursday, there was a storm that came through at tag league time. Lee Houser was the only person not afraid of the rain. With no one else showing up, Lee decided to keep his discs dry and go home. He has been granted 1 point for showing up. On Sunday, nine members flocked to MHP to play during the nicer weather. No one played particularly well, therefore everyone stayed after the round to hold a support group meeting where we took turns giving each other compliments to boost our moral. Point Standings have been updated. Roy has fallen to 3rd place and allowed Rene to jump in the 1st and Chris into 2nd. You can see full standings by going to the Tag League Point Standings page.
