Juel Park Wednesday Ace Pot

[DMajor]

If you play doubles at your local course, draw a partner that you learned to play with at that course, and have been playing for a number of years you should probably win.

We had a record turnout, for this season, at Juel on Wednesday night. Fourteen players came out to play so we actually drew cards instead of flipping discs for the first time. Some veterans from prior seasons made their first appearance of the summer, including: "Ninja Jump Drive" Wes and his sidekick "Dart Master" Ken who got teamed up together after drawing the two jokers from the deck (haha). "Mazda Forum" Matt and Kevin "Autofruit" Carberry also came out for the first time and drew each other as partners. Shout out to Brian and Luke for coming out for their first time of the season and posting solid negative rounds.

As for the play, Bob "Fast Start, Glow Plastic Fetishist" Clark continued his run of cashing (and donating extra $ to the acepot), teamed up with Jayden "I park 350 foot holes and can 100 foot jump putts" Johnson and together they shot a respectable -10 to get the second place money. Brett "I still heart Nukes" Vintertun and I teamed up for the aforementioned local connection and put up a -12 for first place that should have been atleast a few strokes better as we bogeyed hole 17 and missed two other opportunities in the circle.

Honorable Mention to the The Jokers who missed cashing by a stroke despite having each other as partners.

Final Scores

Brett V. & DMajor -12
Jayden J. & Bob C. -10
Ken & Wes -9
Carlee & Shoota -7
Kevin Christian & New Brian -6
Luke & Tyler -5
Kevin Carberry & Matt -3


No aces hit, Bob donated $3 extra, putting the acepot up to $40

Shot of the day- continuing the trend of of giving it to my partner, Brett "I still heart Nukes" Vintertun canned a sixty foot jump on hole 16 for a much needed duece!

Juel Doubles Tomorrow Night 6pm Sharp

****Now with all you can eat blackberries!*****

Last Week's Results:

The Croatian rolled into the parking lot with plenty of gifts for the common folk, but no discs in hand. Luckily, a boss of his was found earlier in the day by Brian "One Lefty Finger" Clark. He used that one boss combined with a borrowed putter and threw his best shot of the day, before the round even started, by flipping one of the returning champions from the previous week: Brett "I really Heart Nukes" Vintertun. Together they played solid Juel golf, parking many of the shorter holes and hitting some good putts right around the edge of the circle. They finished at -11 taking first place by a stroke. Hot on their heels was Kenny "Compulsive Putt Practicing" Clark and his partner "Mazda Forum" Matt at -10.

Honorable Mention goes to three new players for showing up: Cortlin, Matt Bakke and Art! Additionally, Kevin "Juel Doubles Ace Master" Christian and "Shoota" for their magnetic attraction to each other as partners. They have partnered up together three out of the four weeks possible. & don't forget "Broadway" Bob Clark who showed up before doubles but couldn't stay, as he had to get back out on the track and make some money for daddy.

Final Scores

Mark "Yappin Croat" Yarmek & Brett V. -11 $40
Kenny Clark & Mazda Matt -10 $12
Kevin Christian & Shoota -8
DMajor & Evil DMajor (cali)-8
John Johnson & Art -7
Brian Clark & Cortlin -6
Jayden Johnson & Matt Bakke -3


No Aces were hit so the pot is up to $53

Shot of the day- Up to this point I have given the shot of the day to my partner every week. This week I was cali and so as to not break my tradition I give my second shot self the shot of the day on the 224 foot hole 18: after putting my first drive about 12 feet past the basket I elected to not take a second drive in case I fluffed my putt. Like a self fullfilling prophecy I airballed my short putt about a foot to the left, then miraculously managed to limpwrist my second putt just barely into the left pocket of the basket, where it settled meagerly as possibly the ugliest birdie of my disc golf career. But, hey a two's a two!!

"From their struggles to establish dominance over each other, siblings become tougher and more resilient. From their endless rough-housing with each other, they develop speed and agility. From their verbal sparring they learn the difference between being clever and being hurtful. From the normal irritations of living together, they learn how to assert themselves, defend themselves, compromise. And sometimes, from their envy of each other's special abilities they become inspired to work harder, persist and achieve"



Last's weeks episode of Juel Doubles had the most players of the season and the was also the most exciting to date by far. Two of the three Clark brothers in attendance drew solid partners and both of their teams shredded the previous season record by shooting -15. Kenny "Compulsive Putt Practicing" Clark teamed up with John "Shiny New Discs" Jonhson and they birdied every hole on the course except 5,6 and 15 finishing with 8 birdies in a row. On the other side of the course Bob "Too Cool to Clear My Ace Disc" Clark teamed up with "KBK" Ken and they crushed everything-only parring holes 1, 10, 14, and 15, through 17 holes. On hole 18 Bob finally figured out how to throw a short hole and finessed a blue banger in the air just to the left of the basket and as it started it's slow turn to the right it had dead center chains written all over it. Sure enough, it hit low in the middle of the chains and stuck in for an ace and a tie for the lead at -15 forcing a playoff with brother Kenny. The playoff lasted two holes and ended with Bob sinking a 20 footer for a birdie and the first place prize money for him and his deserving partner.

Honorable mention to Erick "Krunk" for coming to his first doubles and to Frank "Juel Godfather" Lewis for coming out to his first doubles of the year. Last but not least Brian "One Lefty Finger" Clark for owning the bottom of the scoreboard and thus creating a Clark scoring sandwich-thanks!

Final Scores

Ken & Bob -15 $39
JJ & Kenny C. -15 $20
Brett V. Mazda Matt -12 $10
Wess & Kevin C. -11
Frank L. & Cortland -10
Mark Croat Yarmek -9
Jayden J. & DMajor -8
Shoota & New Eric -4
Brian C. & Art -3


Bob's Ace was worth $70 and the pot is currently at $0

Shot of the day-I have to break the trend of giving the shot of the day to my partner. Bob's game tying ace on the last hole was definitely the best shot of the day. However, it should be noted that if you ever play with Bob and he throws an ace you should politely ask him to clear his disc. I made the mistake of letting him keep his disc in the basket while I was teeing off, and I hyzered a soft challenger into the middle strong side of the chains and it bounced out-obviously due to Bob's disc and not the rather light chains at Juel.

Last's Weeks Results:

13 special people showed up for a good old time at Juel last Wednesday and it must have been a strange day because the scores across the board were pretty low. Their was a brother team: Brian "One Lefty Finger" Clark and "Broadway" Bob Clark. There was a Marky Mark team: "New" Mark and "Yappin" Yarmek.

We had a new player: Ryan "Favre" come out and play very well as Cali. He spent most of the round spiralling laserbeam sidearms past the defense and throwing crisp touch passes into the chains and in true "Favre" fashion he brought the game down to the final seconds of the fourth quarter but came up one stroke short on the challenging 17th hole to Kenny "Two wins in a row" Clark and your narrator. Kenny flicked his champion Max about fifteen feet short of the basket for the victory duece on 17.

In the same group "Almost Cashed" Carlee teamed up with Jayden "I park 350 foot holes and can 100 foot jump putts" Johnson and came out on fire. They birdied there first six holes in a row, highlighted by Carlee hitting two 50+ foot putts with a dx shark and Jayden making everything in the circle look easy. Eventually the length of the back nine cooled them off and they settled into a third place finish just out of the money.

Honorable mention to "Big Hyzer Bomb" Ryan Bilocerkowycz for getting back out.

Final Scores

Kenny C. & DMajor -12
Ryan "Favre" -11
Jayden & Carlee -8
John J. & Ryan B. -8
Marky Mark -7
Brett V. & "Mazda" Matt -7
Bob & Brian Clark -7


No Aces were hit so the Ace pot grew to $26 & thanks to Paul "Sherpa Macguyver" for kicking in $40 dollars from the previous season towards this years pot-bumping the Ace pot to $66

Shots of The Day-Hole 17, Kenny's game winning 350 foot low line drive flick that flipped up to flat on a line 20 feet left of the basket and held until skipping chain high about fifteen feet short of the basket and Carlee smashing not one, but two long spin putts into the heart of the chains during the first six holes of play, propelling her team to an early two stroke lead.

9/14 Results

Average turnout last week. Eleven people showed up and scores were decent. Had a couple new people, Colin and "Spiritridge" Ron. Jayden Johnson canned some nice long putts and hit metal on everything within 80 feet of the basket. Brett Vintertun put up the best score as Cali so far this year but lost the first place cash in a playoff. We played the traditional old layout #1 tee to old # 3 basket for the playoff hole. Brett threw two drives and missed a 40footer for birdie. Kyle and I only had about a twenty foot birdie putt for the victory.

Brett "I Heart Nukes" Vintertun -12 $14

No Aces Hit so the pot is up to: $100


Shot of the day- goes to Kyle K. on the 348 foot hole 5. He crushed a star destroyer on a high hyzer that cut perfectly through the gap on the right side of the trees and narrowly missed chains. The disc came to rest about fifteen feet past the basket for the easy duece.

Shot of the day-My partner -("New" Guy) told me he wasn't very good while introducing himself then preceded to birdie hole one by himself and five holes later sidearmed a star katana 40 feet past the basket on the 420 foot sixth hole. In the future, I hope all my new partners are not very good.
