WW is on for tonight

The rain has stopped! See you tonight at 4:30. $5.

You can order your bagtag too.

Sun brings 'em out for WW Spring training

A beautiful sunny day brought out a good crowd Wednesday for the second week of Spring training. We're up to 20 tag holders now after just two weeks and I think we are going to have a pretty big league this year!

We played singles and it looks like some AM2s from last year are ready to make a run at the big boys this year. That's great to see!

Devens discs are in!

I came home today to find a couple boxes from Innova sitting in the driveway. Yep, our very first Devens Disc Golf discs have arrived!

Get your very own Devens disc for $10 or for free when you buy a 2010 Devens bag tag. Choose from a DX Roc or DX Aviar driver. I think they look pretty nice, but I may be a bit biased.

We'll be teeing off at 4:30 today at the Wednesday Weekly. Don't forget a St. Paddy's CTP or Skills Challenge prize. Half-eaten corned beef sandwiches don't count!

Congrats to the King and Queen of the Hill!

Hill yeah! There's been a disc golf wedding!

Marcy and I got married yesterday, officially forming the new and improved Killer B Borelli's!

Congratulations to us! :-)

We thought about getting married on our hole 9 at Devens, but since Bobka hasn't installed that hot tub yet that I've been asking for, we decided on a great inn on Lake Winnipesaukee instead.

If the blog isn't updated over the next few weeks, you'll know why -- we'll be disc golfing in the sunny Caribbean!

Season is starting up; join the PDGA and NEFA!

If you love disc golf, why not join the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) or the New England Flying Disc Association (NEFA)?

Your membership helps continue to build the sport both locally and nationally as well as support efforts to attract sponsorship, spectators, and media coverage.

When you join either group, you'll get a lifetime membership number. The PDGA offers a free disc, a subscription to Disc Golfer magazine, and other benefits. If you play any PDGA-sanctioned events, you'll also get an official rating and over time see how you've gotten better.

NEFA members can participate in the NEFA Points Series and earn points at specific tournaments.

• Join the PDGA now under the "Refer-a-Friend" program (use my PDGA number 23492 and I will donate my credits to the course)
• Join NEFA now to qualify for all NEFA points series events this year.
  

I've been a PDGA member for nine years and a NEFA for probably ten. It is fun to look back at how my PDGA rating has gone up over the years. In 2004, my rating was 783 and is now up to 937. The goal of course is to be a 1000+ rated golfer, but since that is usually where the top touring pro players sit, I doubt I'll ever get there!

I am currently the MA state rep for NEFA, so feel free to contact me with an questions about NEFA or disc golf in New England.

Spring training WW style

Ten golfers and one caddy showed up on our first Wednesday Weekly league night. Seven tags were purchased and Steve Walker announced that now that he holds #3, we won't be seeing him for a while!

Since it is Spring training and sunlight was at a premium, we played random doubles for fun. Ken and Dan had the hot round with six deuces and just one 4 on hole 18. Nice job guys!

• Ken G/Dan F - 49
• John B/Frank S - 52
• Andy D/Steve W - 52
• Luke A/Mike C - 53
• Rob W/Bob B - 54

Sunset is at 6:52 PM next week, so let's start at 4:30. Bring a St. Patrick's Day CTP!

Wed. Weekly starts this week

Our Wednesday weekly tag league starts this week on March 10 at 3:45. $5 each week gets you two player pools, cash payout, cash CTPs, an ace pot, and the ever-popular Skills Challenge.

2010 bag tags will be available in a few weeks for $20 and include a custom Devens disc this year.

Support your course, have some fun, meet some locals, and earn some bragging rights each week at the WW!

KOH2 is full

Ok, we are officially full. It took just over 48 hrs to fill. Wow! Thanks everyone.

To be added to the wait list, you must still register online. Posting here, calling us, or emailing us will not get you on the wait list. We will issue refunds minus the $2 PayPal fee after the event. Thank you.

One spot left!

Who's going to get it?

Wait List
To be added to the wait list, you must still register online. Posting here or emailing us will not get you on the wait list. We will issue refunds minus the $2 PayPal fee after the event. Thank you.

10 spots left as of 9 PM Thursday

We got 25 more registrations in today. That leaves just 11 available spots. Could we blow away all of our previous records and sell out in less than three days? Tune in tomorrow and find out.

What a day!

Wow, what a first day! 37 golfers registered on day 1. That makes us more than half-full and leaves just 35 spots open.

We got a nice sampling of northern New England golfers from ME, VT, NH, and MA. Maybe we'll get some of you CT and RI folks Thursday.

I'll be computer-less for much of the day tomorrow, so there will be few if any updates. If by chance we overfill because I haven't been able to close the store, we will put you on the wait list and hold your payment for a bit in case people drop out. Or, you can request it back and get off the waitlist.

Hill Yeah!
