Lakewood Acepot

[Gill]

In totally schizophrenic weather conditions that included snow, wind, freezing rain, wind, rain, wind, and sun (and wind), only four of us were crazy enough to play. Scores on any given hole could be great or challenged depending on what the wind-gust-gods decided.

Mike Werth 64 (-7)
Matthew Gill 70 (-1)
Bjorn Pinney 78 (+7)
Ted Culliard 87 (+16)

No aces, so the acepot stands at a whopping $8. Hopefully April will provide kinder weather and a bigger field to boost the pot.

We'll be doing this on Sunday- 10am start!

Is the acepot on for this Sunday?

Absolutely no one showed up for the July acepot, except for myself, probably due to White River. This weekend Jet Wash conflicts with the acepot. Is this thing still on, dead or dormant?

I made it up to Lakewood today to play golf and I couldn't beleive how many people were there! There must have been at least 60 people on the golf course! Granted it was a beautiful day for golf, but thats a lot of people. I know this thread is pretty quiet, but does anybody know anything about the "club" petitioning the parks to keep this park open? With as much use as was out there today, it would be a real shame to close this one.

The last Summer or two it has taken hiatus from solstice until Sept/Oct, when LWO and doubles have finished up.

Sooooo When's the next one?

The Lakewood "Monthly" Acepot is traditionally held on the third Sunday of the the month. The WA state series events have also often been scheduled for the third weekend of the month in the summer so I give the acepot a break since I am often playing in those events. In Sept. the Steilly tourney is on the third weekend so I doubt that there will be an acepot at Lakewood although if by chance I can't play the Steilly and I'm free on Sunday I may run the acepot, that remains to be seen. October's looking hopeful though! I do have an email alert list for Lakewood info and I'm pretty good about putting out a note when there is going to be an event or work party. If you'd like to be added to that list just head over to the Lakewood website (http://www.lakewooddiscgolf.com/LKWD/Home.html) and send me a request.

Thanks Edge, sent you an e-mail, I'll be seeing you at the next acepot.

Hi folks,

This being the third Sunday of the month there are plans afoot to have a one round (of 27 holes) Acepot tourney at Lakewood this weekend. Brian Hayes will be running the show and paying out in plastic to all the Ams. Expect the round to take about 2 and a half hours. So...

Sunday 9/20/09 at Lakewood, upper parking lot near hole 1.
$12 Ams & $15 Pros
10:00am tee time (get there a bit earlier to signup)

There is currently $60 in the Acepot to which we'll be adding $2 per player. Another $2 goes to the Lakewood Club and the remainder of the entry fees goes to payout. Acepot pays out evenly to any and all that get a hole in one during the round. No ace means the pot carries over until next month.

Of course if you can afford to play both days this weekend you'll probably be at the Autumn Classic at Ft. Steilacoom. Head over to the forum at nwdiscgolfnews.com to find out more info on that event.

Cheers, Eric

[Cold Steel]

Beautiful day for it! 10 players total.
No aces, pot stands at $80.
Andy Rivers crushes the Pro field with a four down.
Bill Clark dominates AM field with an even.
See you all in October!

[sillybizz]

I was trying to wake up but I couldn't, ugh, there is always next month.

So, as you probably know there is a doubles event at Lakewood/SeaTac on Saturday and then another one at Steilly on Sunday. Since I am not planning on going down to Steilly on Sunday I thought I would offer the regular third Sunday (Oct. 18th) acepot at Lakewood for any and all that are interested. I think we'll play one round on what has become the normal 27 hole format teeing off at 10:am. Entry is $12 for Ams (Intermediate & Advanced) and $15 for Pro. Scrip for Ams through Mr. Hayes. I believe that there's currently $80-$90 sitting in the ace fund.

Cheerio, Eric

[ericedge]

Well, between the Seahawks game and the WA state doubles going on down at Steilly there weren't many folks interested in the monthly acepot, despite the break in the weather! Andy F., Tuffi, Getty and I played a 27 hole round of winner take all. There were some close calls but no one got an ace today so the pot grows to $88. Getty started out shooting hot and it looked like he was going to run away with it when he was up 5 strokes after the first 12 holes. Tuffi and Andy hung on though and slowly crept back into contention. After a bit of craziness on Geezer Way Tuffi and Getty were all tied with Andy one shot back and only two holes to go. On hole 17 Getty threw a sidearm shot out of bounds followed by Tuffi's OB roller shot. They both ended up taking 4's which meant the three of them were tied going into hole 18 on the island. Getty's confident sidearm shot went on an ace run about 12' past the basket and he converted the putt to take the win with a -3 for the round. All in all we had a really fun round of golf on a mostly sunny, breezy day at Lakewood.

So, the third Sunday of the month is upon us once again which means it's time for the Lakewood Acepot! Matt Salmon will be running it this month. Sunday, Nov. 15th

The particulars.... Meet in the upper lot near hole one. 10:00 tee time so get there a bit earlier to sign up. One round of 27 holes. $12 Ams, $15 Pros. Am payout in scrip with Brian Hayes, pros get cash. Acepot is sitting somewhere around $100. Yes, there's a mando on hole one. No, there's no mando on Geezer Way (hole 12).

Tuffi aced hole 3 yesterday! Can she do it again?

[GettinBetter]

That was nasty, rained the whole time, windy, cold, no sun. Thanks for the umbrella Tuffi!

[ericedge]

There's going to be an ACEpot at Lakewood this Sunday, Dec. 20th. Brian Hayes will be there to fill out scorecards and figure the payout. There is currently $100 in the acepot and we add two bucks a head from the entries to that. Another $2 goes to the Lakewood Club and the rest is payout: cash for Pros and scrip for Ams. Entry is $12 for Am divisions and $15 for Pros. We'll be using the 27 hole course layout which means one long round with plenty of ace runs.

The round tees off at 10:00am so get there a little earlier to get signed up.

[QUOTE=ericedge;45867]There's going to be an ACEpot at Lakewood this Sunday, Dec. 20th.

No aces today. 4 people showed, 2 pro and 2 am. Weather was pretty awesome considering the forecast.
Pro- Arron 7 down
Am- Rob 1 down

Course was pretty empty so we cruised through the 27 hole round in about 2.5 hours.

Pot stands at $108.

I've been wanting to attend for the past couple of months but something comes up on that third Sunday every month, grrr maybe next month.

Well, waddya know. It's the 3rd Sunday of the month this weekend. Is the Acepot happening?

[The Ombudsman]

Team golf at White River this week...
A couple of my buddies and I went all the way to Steilly last weekend for their "Monthly" and nobody showed up

[Cold Steel]

Edge should be sending an email today- not sure if we're skipping this month or not.

[ericedge]

Hey there Lakewood Discers,

I just want to give you a heads up that there won't be an Acepot at Lakewood this Sunday. I'm (along with lots of other locals) going to be out in Bremerton playing the Whiner's in the Woods tourney. So we will have to wait until the June solstice acepot event to play for the big bucks. I did get a casual round ace at Lakewood the other day, I skipped in a champ boss on hole 2. It sure is awesome to see ones disc sitting in the basket from the tee!

There will however be an informal random flip doubles round at Lakewood on Sunday starting around 10:30am. Any and all that would like to participate are invited to join in.

Cheers, Eric Edgerton

Hi folks,

I'm planning on running the Acepot at Lakewood this Sunday, June 20th. 27 holes starting at 10:00 am tee time. I think there's currently around $200 in the acepot but I'm not positive, I don't have it in front of me at the moment. $12 for Ams, $15 for pros. $2 to the Ace and $2 to the club, the rest is payout...

Unfortunately we won't be playing hole 7 (the coffin hole) since there is a new construction project on the King county housing land and they've put a fence up in the middle of that fairway. The number 7 basket is temporarily locked in the short position of hole twelve but I am hoping to have it installed in the woods below the number twelve tee pad by Sunday. It will shift things around a bit but should preserve an 18 hole layout at least for the time being.

Cheers, Eric

This Sunday, July 18th there's going to be an Acepot event at Lakewood & Seatac. Keith from Chainbangerz is running this months acepot as a Duel Nature tune-up! Here's the scoop...

Starting at 12 noon at the LOWER PARKING LOT (by hole 14) at Lakewood there will be 11 holes played including some of the proposed holes for the upcoming course re-design. There's currently $190 up for grabs for a hole in one at the Lakewood course. Next, it's off to Seatac for 11 more holes and a shot at the Seatac Acepot which stands at $300. The price of admission for this bit of fun is $15 for pros, $12 for Advanced and $10 for Intermediates. Since Chainbangerz is running this one there's a $2 discount for CDGC club members (ask Keith about this if you don't know what it is!)

Reminders: In anticipation of the Duel Nature tourney there's going to be a work party at Seatac this Saturday starting at around 10:00am. Bring your line trimmer if you've got one and take a wack at the tac! Other mowing, chopping and hacking tools are welcome as well, just make sure you check with Keith before you start cutting anything other than blackberries or Scotch broom. After a couple of hours at Seatac I'm planning to spend a little time at Lakewood working on holes 7-10 with the weed wrench. Any and all are welcome to join me there as well.

One other thing... The Duel Nature event is filling up nicely, there are over 100 players that have taken the plunge. If you're thinking of playing but haven't yet registered you might oughta head over to lakewooddiscgolf.com and get yourself signed up.

Hope to see you at the course soon, Eric
