Ten club members showed up to fight for the Club Championship title on a wet and rainy day. Could Rene continue his reign or would up and coming star, Kyle Wilson, send Rene into retirement? After the first round, Rene found himself in the lead, but only by one over Kyle and Todd. Yep, you read that right... Todd Ashworth tied with Kyle one shot behind Rene. I had the pleasure of watching Todd's stellar round, it was a sight to see. Great round Todd!
Going into the 2nd and Final round Rene, Kyle, Todd, and Mike earned their spot on the lead card. Courtney, Stan, and Roy lurked in the shadows on the chase card in hopes to make their move on that top card. David, Cliff, and Steve found themselves on the last card but not trailing my much. All of the competitors continued their attack throughout the second round of soggy fun. When the damp dust settled, Rene held onto his "Champ" title with a win by 5 shots over second place finisher, Kyle Wilson. Mike Wilson and Courtney Biel shot solid rounds to finish 3rd and 4th respectively while Todd fell back to 5th. Check out the full results below. Although Stan and Cliff didn't find finish in the top five, they did win some CTP's. Stan won two CTP's (one each round) and Cliff won one in the first round. Rene picked up a CTP as well during the second round. Thank you to everyone that came out to play despite the rainy weather. I also want to thank Lee Houser for donating a bunch of discs and mini to use in a players pack that all participants received. Chris Faunce donated some SAW stamped merchandise for players to pick through and prizes for 1st place and last place. And the last shout out goes to Mike Wilson for providing lunch for everyone, Steve Blackmer for bringing drinks, and for Kyle Wilson's girlfriend that delivered the lunch.

The 2016 SAW Disc Golf Club Championship is scheduled for this Saturday, October 8th. For those of you joining, please be there by 9:45AM so that we get organized and go over a couple things before starting the 1st round at 10AM. Following the first round, lunch from Subway is graciously being provided by Mike Wilson. The lunch break will be long enough for us to enjoy our food, hopefully we can hold it to 30ish minutes before heading out to the 2nd round. This event is free for all club members and only $10 for non-members. There will be several CTP prizes up for grabs along with the coveted "Champ" status that comes along with winning the event. Will the current champ, Rene DeVito, keep his reign? Or will he be dethroned by the mighty peasants. The below schedule is our best guess as to the timing of things. Hopefully the rounds take closer to 2 hours, but I show 2.5 hours for each on the schedule just in case. To help reduce the time, we will break up into groups of 3-4. Saturday Schedule:
Each round will have a different combination of mixed layouts. Here they are so that you can start preparing now! These are still subject to change but probably won't. If you haven't already, mark your calendars! The Club Championship will be held on Saturday, October 8th starting at 10AM. It will consist of 2 rounds, both will be different mixed round layouts (to be determined by current club champion, Rene DeVito). The championship is free to current club members and $10 for non-members. We plan to have some sort of lunch in between rounds but have yet to work out the details. If you or someone you know would be able to coordinate lunch, please let me know

Well folks, I think we can say that the off-season is officially over; although for the true disc golfer, there is no off-season. But whether you have been cooped up all winter or keeping your discs in the air, the time has come to kick off our new Club and Tag Season. Club Membership is only $10 this year so please consider supporting the SAW Disc Golf Club by becoming a part of it. Membership will get you a numbered tag (can you get and hold onto the #1 tag?). Also included with your $10 membership is free entry into the Tag League Series and the Club Championship. Additional details including how and when to get your membership will be announced soon.
