Orrington Disc Golf Course in Print

Local free newspaper, The Maine Edge, had an article in the new issue about the course. Check it out here.

Update on December 1, 2009: The Maine Edge has disabled the link. Sorry.

Sunday Doubles League Starting

Beginning this Sunday, September 6, a weekly round of random doubles will begin. We'll start this round at 10am each Sunday morning, so come out and play.

With the handicap system pretty well in place, the teams will be randomly selected based on your handicap at the course. This system has been used the last couple of weeks of Wednesday Doubles (results from each Wednesday Doubles can be found below) and has shown that this has created teams of equal ability. It's a good system and will be used for the Sunday doubles as well.

It should be noted that the Wednesday doubles will only be held for one, maybe two, more weeks. We're losing daylight so fast it's becoming difficult to get the last group in while there's still light left. By having the Sunday doubles league starting, this gives the local golfers another opportunity to come out for some partner-golfing. And the whole winning $$ thing is a pretty good draw, too.

Oh, and of course, Dave's nachos. We've always got Dave's nachos.

Remember: you can pick up discs in the clubhouse. You'll also find golf bags, ball caps and minis. There's also cold soda and bottled water in addition to small snacks like danishes, sunflower seeds, jerky and other items.

See yah Sunday!

Wednesday Doubles

We’re still having good luck with the weather for Wednesday Doubles, but what we’re up against now is the loss of daylight. More on that later.

We had 18 golfers again this week, continuing a string of great turnouts for this weekly event. Results below. Par is 72.

Ryan Curran & Kaj Thomsen 56 Tie 1st/split

Kevin Lord & Derek Bradford 56 Tie 1st/split

Justin Gott & Travis Vicary 57 3rd

John Hodkiewicz & Rachel Elwell 58

Mike Subilia & Joe the Mason 58

Mike Piirainen & John Blakley 61

Rob Aquino & Joshua York 63

Josh Stall & San Wiid 63

Terry Pinkham & Lucas Butler 64

Doubles starts at 5pm. $5 ($1 ace pot optional). Non-members also have their $4 greens fees or can continue on if they’ve already paid $8 for all-day golf.

With daylight fading, next week could be the last Wednesday Doubles, but we’ll see what happens. We might be able to get 2 more weeks.

Doubles has been a great way for the golfers at this new course to meet each other and it's been a great way to challenge everyone's game. But we all know why we really come out to doubles....it's for the nachos that Dave has waiting for us as we finish our rounds. NACHOS!
