Mike Gets Second Win Of The Year!!!
Mike Teutsch had a Great day and bested his personal score by one shot shooting a 96 raw score that netted him a score of 79. This win also vaulted Mike into 3rd place overall for the season. That’s the good news, the bad news Mike is that your handicap changed by 3 shots down to a sub 14.
The other players in the top 5 for the June monthly were John Kimball (Lefty Version) in second place, Steve Michaelis in 3rd, Skyler Horn in 4th and Kevan in 5th. The last three spots were all decided in a throw off.
We had two new players establish handicaps in June and are now ready to do some damage in the monthlies going forward. Rob White established at a “Zero” and Connor Clay established at a “SUB 6″
Make sure you check out the overall standings page as things are really tightening up. The top 6 spots are seperated by just 6 points.
Have a Great month and we will see everyone in July.

Weekly Rules!!!!
There were only five of us but Austin, Geoff, Hal, John & Skyler had a ruleshously good time!!! Started play in a normal manner then all sorts of stuff happened. Skipped putting and just went for the ace run, two drives per hole, started making up holes, ctp person got to call next hole, and if one got both their drives closer than anyone else they won $2. Skyler was the only one that garnered that prize!!! And Skyler was the only one that hit metal the whole night. How many holes did we play??? What rules will be made up next week?? That will of course depend on how many players show up. What’s the number one rule for having fun at a weekly with the Chainrackers???????? Answer–You have to show up!!!! Keep ‘em flyin’—JBK
Weekly Doubles to Start Tonight 5/24/2011
Well it’s that time of the year again. Now that the weather is cooperating for the most part we will start up the weekly doubles. We will start at 6:00 pm on Tuesdays. If there are enough people we will play random doubles and if not we will just play.
The entrance fee is $1.00 that is simply for the Ace Pot. Remember that the weekly Ace Pot is capped at $30.00 and hopefully someone can hit it tonight.
See you all there.
Mike Bests All On Breezy Day For First Win
With a steady breeze blowing in from the southwest, Mike threw a personal best to take home the black mini. And it just so happened to be his first tourney after establishing a handicap. 6 strokes behind Mike were Bryan, Skyler, & Marie, finishing in that respective order after the CTP shot. Getting the final 2 pts for 5th was Geoff. Even in his absence, Hal retains the overall points lead with 18. Skyler with his 3rd place finish jumps up to tie Marie for 2nd with 15 pts. Kevan drops from a 2nd place tie with Marie to 4th with 13 pts. Mike and Bryan made the biggest jump and are now tied for 5th with 10 pts. Chris, Ray, & Rob were first time Chainracker Tourney players. Looking forward to seeing you next month. It was a fun day with the breeze. Saw a few putts either blow up and over the basket or hit chains and blow straight back!!!!! Rob’s first raw score round with the Rackers was 85, which was only second to Bryan’s 83. The only other raw score in the 80′s was John with an 87. Not bad considering all his drives were lefty. That’s his 2nd lefty drive round and after one more he will have handicaps for his righty and lefty. Maybe one tourney in the future he’ll pay double and play both ways!!!!!! Keep ‘em flyin’—–JBK
Hal’s CTP Over Kevan Wins It!!
Hal adds another black mini to his collection via the CTP route. Kevan takes 2nd, as he did last month, and is getting closer to his first win as a Chainracker. George & Marie took 3rd & 4th while Geoff out CTP’d Del for the final extra Championship point. In the Championship Points race, Hal takes a 7 point lead over Kevan & Marie. Skyler’s absence keeps him at 11, just one point behind Marie & Kevan. George rounds out the top five with 9 pts. Weather wise, it was the best this year, thus bringing out some older bones for the first time this year. (no names mentioned!!!!) This was Mike’s third straight monthly thus completing his handicap rounds!! Connor & Kyle threw their 2nd handicap rounds. Both of Kyle’s rounds have been the best raw scores for those monthlies!! (oh, to be a young buck again!!) The only player getting a change in handicap for May will be Bryan. Another change we hope to see by May is some grass/weed cutting!!! Until then Keep ‘em flyin’———-JBK
Weather Wins the Day–Skyler Takes Home Black Mini!!
Players were so ecstatic to be out on the course under such excellent conditions that they all forgot to bring their A games. Skyler’s B+ game was good enough to win the March monthly. Kevan took 2nd, Hal out CTP’d Bryan for 3rd and Jack got the final points for 5th. When I mean by not bringing their A games is that there were no personal bests. Skyler & Kevan were only 3 strokes off, while all others were just a wee bit more. Mike & Mark were back for their 2nd rounds towards handicaps, while Connor was there for his first. Mike did bring his A game and shaved 14 strokes off his Feb. score. Keep ‘em flyin’—–JBK
Sleeper Wakes Up!!!
Mark, Josh, Nick, Mike,Patrick & Tad
In ideal conditions Marie throws a personal best (111-31=80) to take home February’s black mini!! Sorry Marie, could not resist throwing in Sleeper!! For those not in the know, Marie won the first Chainracker tournament back in 2007 and was given the nickname Sleeper. Enough of the history lesson. Second went to John (74+8=82) and Zack (85+0=85) was third. Kevan would have been fourth but he left before completing 27. That’s it, just 4 paying players this month. Missed the Skullmaster competitors. Hoped you all enjoyed yourselves. When you come back to next monthly there’s going to be a few more bodies on the course. We had 6—let me repeat that, 6 first time Chainracker tourney players!!!! Welcome to Josh, Mark, Mike, Nick, Patrick & Tad. Patrick brought out his camera and put a piece together. Check this video out from the monthly below. Nick, Josh and Tad look like they know the game as they all shot in the 80′s. Mark, Patrick and Mike have all recently discovered disc golf and are only going to improve. Will we have 20 plus players next month?!?!?! Keep ‘em flyin’–JBK
Disaster for Chainrackers!!
Good luck to all you Rackers who will be participating in this Saturday’s Skullmaster Disaster Tournament. We will miss your attendance at the monthly, but will be most happy to accumulate points in your absence.—-JK
Hal Gets The Win in a Cold Swampy January Monthly
Wow!!!!How about that monthly? I do not remember being that cold at a monthly in quite some time and I never remember the course being quite as Swampy as it was yesterday. That all led to me finally getting a win. No wins in 2010 so this was a Great kick off for 2011.
We had nine entrants in yesterdays event and here are the scores.
Hal Horn 78 with an Add 2 for a net score of 80. Next month that will be an add 3. OH Joy!!!!
George Kimmerlein 84 with a sub 1 for a net score of 83
Skyler Horn 98 with a sub 14 for a net score of 84. This makes 5 monthly’s in a row with a top 5 score!!!!!!!!
Austin Green 87 with a sub 2 for a net score of 85. Austin takes 4th in a throw off with Gabe.
Gabe Alacon 82 with an add 3 for a net score of 85.
I look forward to seeing everyone out on the course and hopefully the course will dry out before the next monthly.

Geoff Gets First Win in Season Finale
Well we had a Great final event of 2010. Geoff gets the win in the December monthly in a throw off with Skyler. From what I am told Geoff won by a couple of inches at best. Great Job Geoff. The winning points took Geoff from 5th place in the overall standing to 3rd, passing your truly.
Third place went to Mr. Steven Michaelis. Great way to end the season and put an exclamation point on the season championship that Steven had wrapped before the event started. Great consistent golf this year Steven!!!
4th place went to Del Silva, who also brought a new player to the Chainrackers, Doug Johnson. Thanks Del and Great to have you at the event Doug – First round 82 – Great Job!! 2 more rounds for a Handi-Cap.
5th place for the month came down to a throw off between Austin and Marie. Austin threw first, and to put it bluntly, he did not produce one of his better throws. He ended up with too much hyzer on the shot and ended about 50 feet from the basket. Marie steps up and this is where the Magic happened. Marie aims to the right of the practice basket, traveling right over the picnic tables where we were standing. The toss had a perfect hyzer to it and the disc came to rest within 15 feet of the basket – for the 5th place finish. Great Job Marie!!!
So to recap the season:
Steven Michaelis takes the season win with 39 points,
Second place goes to Doug Brodale – who could not play due to a medical condition, with 33 points. Look forward to seeing you on the course again soon Doug!!!!
Third place, as a result of his impressive win in the monthly, goes to Geoff Orris with 30 points. Mighty impressive finish to the season Geoff.
4th place goes to Hal with 28 points.
5th place for the season goes to Austin Green.
Thanks Again to everyone for their participation in 2010 and I look forward to seeing everyone on the course in 2011.
Make sure you check out the Handicap page as several members had changes in their handicaps this week.
