The Lakeview course at Moraine State Park will remain in PFDO layout for another week. I figure some players (myself included) want another crack at playing those pin placements over the upcoming holiday weekend.
Baskets will stay in place until Thursday, Sept 8.

There's a lot of chatter about playing Lakeview on Monday, Sept 5 (Labor Day). Check out the forecast for this weekend:

Saturday

Sep 3
An afternoon thunderstorm 90°Lo 61°

Sunday

Sep 4
Strong afternoon t-storms 85°Lo 63°

Monday

Sep 5
Cooler with a shower possible 67°Lo 52°

Moraine Monthly tomorrow AM. Yes, it is a mixer. The disc order for the Hunt should be received this evening and if so I will have the new merch available at this event. Be one of the first to pick through this order and use up that credit you have been sitting on. If at least 10 people show up, there could be a CTP or 2 out there.

*Saturday, October 8

*9AM Players Meeting @ Schenley Park (meet at pavilion by hole #7)

Entry fee - $8 (with a $1 optional ace pot)

*Sign up before 9am the day of the event @ The Camp David Lawrence Pavilion by hole #7. (YOU CAN SIGN UP THE DAY OF THE EVENT SINCE THERE ARE NO PLAYER PACKS THAT WE NEED TO ORDER IN ADVANCE FOR PLAYERS)

*Everyone is Welcome - You need not have played in any previous league nights

*We will play a morning round from the blue tees followed by a FREE LUNCH - (Subway Boxed Lunch)

*Players will then be re-grouped by score (handicap adjusted) for the afternoon round to be played from the white tees.

*Payout to the top 1/3 of the field (disc credit or 75% cash payout)

*Double points toward standings will be awarded to players

*A League champion will be named after the end of play along with other awards!

*Normal Wednesday Night League Rules apply

*The Wednesday Night League ace pot ($33) will carry over to the league final. The ace pot will not be capped at the final - one ace takes the entire pot. If multiple aces are struck, the pot is split evenly between all aces.

*If an ace is not struck during the league final, we will have a CTP throw-off for the ace pot! You will only be able to throw off for the ace pot if you have entered into the ace pot for the final.

*We will again be playing the league finale in conjunction with a stage of the Pittsburgh Scholastic Disc Golf Series.

Please contact Mark Prestopnik - mprestopnik@hotmail.com with any questions you may have regarding the event. You can pre-register for the event at any upcoming Wednesday League Night.

This has been a tremendously successful season and I hope that many of you can make it out to give the season a proper sendoff!

Glow golf at Knob Hill on Tuesday, November 8? Anyone interested? 6 pm start? I believe Deitzel has lights for sale....

The weather is going to be awesome during the day....high of 65 degrees. Perhaps people can play an afternoon round and install glow bracelets/necklaces on the baskets prior to nightfall? These items are for sale at most dollar stores.

gotcha · Nov 08 2011, 06:24 AM

Glow is on for tonight at Knob........6pm start. Deitz is bringing lights for sale.

(Deitz didn't bring any lights for sale).

Moraine Monthly is this Sunday, November 13 at 10:00 am.
The master plan is to do some leaf removal before sign-up begins. If you would like to help, show up early and bring a rake if you have one. I'll be bringing a gas-powered leaf blower, two rakes and a large tarp. If enough folks show up on Sunday morning we'll knock out the leaf removal in a short amount of time. The grass has filled in nicely over the past two years because of our efforts to clear the leaves.

(Yes, I know the Steelers game starts at 1:00 pm on Sunday....but I'm willing to bet most people have a radio in their automobile. I scheduled the Monthly on Sunday because there will be no hunters in the park.)

The Pennsylvania DCNR seems to be pretty favorable towards disc golf. Moraine, Tyler, Nockamixon, French Creek, Shawnee, Prince Gallitzin, Canoe Creek, Codorus, Hickory Run, Clear Creek, Pymatuning, and Gifford Pinchot all have courses in them. I am sure there are others that I have forgotten and a few listed have more than one course. Has the PFDS ever approached the PA DCNR about Raccoon Creek State Park? There is some pretty awesome property out there and it is closer to Pittsburgh than Moraine is.

ezwind · Dec 06 2011, 05:10 PM

I like your thinking but us folks from the north need more courses up our way. LOL.

Not that I am aware of. It sounds like a good idea, I'm always for more courses. The trick is getting someone to take the lead and do proposals.

gotcha · Dec 08 2011, 07:28 AM

Four or five years ago I was having a conversation with Moraine's park manager and I inquired about Racoon Creek SP. I was told that the park manager (at that time) was not interested in disc golf. Perhaps he has changed his mind or there has been a management change at that park.

That said, the Moraine Monthly is this Sunday, December 11. This will be the last one until March 2012.
No Steeler game on Sunday, either....

tistoude · Dec 08 2011, 02:18 PM

The park manager of Raccoon Creek is Al Wasilewski. Does that sound familiar to you? I have no way to check how long he's been there. If its a different guy I can call and see what his interest level is.

gotcha · Dec 09 2011, 09:12 AM

I do not recall the park manager's name.
