[leefou]

You’re invited to participate in the South Valley Spring Handicap League. This is a PDGA sanctioned league put on by the Eugene Disc Golf Club. For new and amateur players: it’s a great opportunity to meet other disc golfers, improve your game, and learn about competitive (but still friendly) play. For pros and advanced players: it's a chance to log some PDGA rated rounds while tutoring less experienced players.

$5 entry fee ($4 to payouts, $1 to PDGA, club, and league expenses)
$1 ace pot (optional)
Payouts for handicap scores and top scratch score

Rules:
Style of play will be singles. PDGA rules will be followed with the exception that players over the age of 21 may consume alcohol if the park allows it.

Any more chances to log a round before next week? I need one more.

Thanks a ton!! Sorry we couldn't get that last round in before the start of league. You can still come out and get a rated round while you establish your handicap. Week 1 was a big success and hopefully it only gets bigger!

The ratings look really low. I know they are not official yet and the course was in all short pins, but I'm not sure I want to pay to tank my rating. Any idea if there was a problem with the numbers?

I dont think there is a problem with the numbers. like 5 people did shoot their PR that night though. If you look at the Womens Global ratings from this weekend it matches up with our results. We just need to move some pins deep and it will all even out.

Also thanks for putting it on the Calendar!!!!

I suppose Chris did kind of ruin the curve. Still seems like a 44 should be higher. I guess I'll find out this week- I hope to make it.

The more propagators we get the more accurate the ratings will be!...there is also a ratings update in 2 days that might even things a little bit

The South Valley Summer League is coming to an end :( Tomorrow is the finale at Cottage Grove. 25 people qualified for the finale by making it to 3 or more league meetings in the past 7 weeks.

The finale will again be a one-round handicap tournament. You will compete within your division for the lowest handicap score. Payouts will be more than double the normal amount and and the top 40% of each division will be paid! Entry is still $5. Check the divisions below:

Anyone not qualified for the finale is welcome to come out and get a PDGA rated round for $1. No payouts or prizes.

See you Thursday at 5:30 at the Grove!
