Happy New Year!

We're closing at 3 PM today (New Year's Eve).

Sunday we're off to the Patriots last regular season game, so we won't be open again until Tuesday, Jan. 4.

Happy New Year!

Things are going to start happening to me now.

Yep, we finally got Internet, cable, and phone service yesterday. The new number for the shop is 978-391-4160.

BTW, The Jerk is definitely one of my top 10 favorite movies.

Show me your Hive!

We've had our first Hive sighting! Jeff Wiechowski sent in this photo from Central Park Disc Golf Course in Schenectady, NY. Looking good, Jeff!

Send us a photo of you and your hive!

Merry Christmas!

Killer B #3 Aspen wishes you all a merry Christmas!

Killer B. I've heard of that.

I stopped at the local grocery store on the way in today to grab some lunch supplies. The woman behind the counter looked at my new Killer B jacket and uttered those sweet words. Glad to see the signs (and now our jackets) are doing their job.


When I got to the store someone was waiting for me to open and there's been a steady stream of people for the past two hours. I wish every day was the day before Christmas Eve!

Don't forget, we're open until 6 tonight and have special hours tomorrow, 10-3.


Now for some Christmas hilarity, Devens style.

What do monkeys sing at Christmas?Jungle Bells, Jungle bells. Ho ho ho.

Open late, closing early

Just a reminder that we are open until 8 tonight as usual. Come on by for some Christmas cheer and for what's left of those cookies. I've had one or two since Saturday!


Christmas Eve we'll be opening early at 10 AM and closing at 3 PM. Then it's a few days off and open again on Tuesday.

Merry Christmas!

Ice Cube Open registration open!

Registration has opened for the Devens Ice Cube Open Ice Bowl on Jan. 30. Sign up on the Register for an Event page.

Pro clinic: Win before you begin

Warming up before a round is just as important as practicing your putts! Here are some tips for you to think about on this last day of Autumn.

They even come by bus

This merry group of golfers stopped in between rounds today. When I asked where they were from, I thought I heard, "The bus."


I asked, "The bus?" They looked at me and said, "Uh, no. Boston." We had a good laugh over that one but I guess you had to be there.

Free Cookie Weekend returns this Saturday and Sunday. Free homemade cookies to all customers while they last, courtesy of our neighbor Lisa.


Please come eat them before I do!

Tick tock!

Tick tock, tick tock. Time's a ticking. Christmas is just over a week away!

We had a good batch of Christmas shoppers today. A couple people came in looking for presents for their disc golfing friends, boyfriends, and parents. "I have absolutely no idea what he wants. I just know he loves playing disc golf," was the general theme for today. To those shoppers I always suggest a gift certificate and a mini marker to make it a little more fun to open.

Usually I just listen and try to pull out bits of extra info that'll help me guide them in finding an appropriate disc or bag. It's a bit like being a detective and is pretty fun for me.

So, come on down and get your favorite person some new plastic and grab a free candy cane or two for yourself! We're open noon to 6 every day.

Open til 8 every Wednesday

We're open until 8 pm tonight and every Wednesday. Stop in and do some Christmas shopping or send your Secret Santa instead.


If you play Devens often, I'd appreciate your business. It's an easy way to say thanks for a great free course, but really, it'll make me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Golf locally. Shop locally. Killer B.

Honor Above All video

Check out this new video shot at the 2010 Presidents Cup in October. If you went to the Vibram Open or were a Devens bagtag member, you might recognize a few participants!

Closed Sunday

We'll be closed this Sunday. I'll be playing in a team challenge in the rain (oh joy) and Killer B #2 is fighting a cold and will be home in bed watching football (lucky girl, sort of).

If your friends don't know what you want for Christmas, let them know that Killer B gift certificates fit everyone!

Two paws up

Killer Bs #4 and #7 stopped in last night on their way home from the groomer.

Smokey and Duncan dig disc golf

It was Duncan and Smokey's first visit to the store and they seemed to approve, although Smokey didn't quite know what to make of Chuck the mannequin.

New Fade bags are in!

We got our second order of Fade Tourney and Crunch Box bags in today. Lots of nice blue on blue, a couple orange and blue, blood red, and camo.

Isn't it time you ditched that plastic grocery bag you've been using and got yourself a real bag, son!?

Lost & found

Having the Devens lost and found here at the store is paying off. Someone just came in to pick up a disc that he has been trying to get back for months.


Thanks to all who have been dropping them off. Good disc golf karma is coming your way!

Most found discs (except the ones in this crate) are listed on the Devens website.

The sign is working

Last week, I had at least 4 people stop in the store after seeing our kick-ass sign out front near the road.

Get your very own Hive window decal!

Two people even thought we were a ball golf store! One guy wanted to know if I re-gripped clubs, while one woman saw "Disc Golf" and immediately thought it said "Discount Golf". She had a good laugh about it and was excited to learn about disc golf. "I'll tell my kids!"

Saturday a father and son came in after seeing the sign. "I just had to see what the heck this was," the father said. "I knew what is was!" his kid said confidently. The dad was all pumped up about trying it out and telling his fellow firefighters down at the firehouse. "They'll have a blast. We'll be back!"

Yesterday, a guy drove by the plaza, turned around, and came back to the store. "I saw the basket logo as I was driving by and after I passed, it clicked in my brain what it was. Then I saw 'disc golf' in my rearview and I had to come back and check it out."

The best thing was earlier in the week when a guy came in, shook my hand, and thanked me for opening the store. He had just learned about DG this summer and was glad there was a shop near him now. Then as quick as he appeared, he left!

I've got the Hives
I love hearing cool stuff like this! If you love our logo as much as we do, stop by the store and grab a hive basket window decal. Or, if you're far away, send me your address and $4.75 and I'll mail you one (includes tax and stamp!).

Then send me a photo of your sticker on your ride and I'll post it!

They're back

I used to see Jeremy and Matt at Devens all the time but they disappeared in 2010. I'm happy to report that they're back playing and this time they have a new recruit with them, their friend Nick.



Thanks for stopping by the store guys and testing out my text message sales receipt. Enjoy those new Nukes!

Mystery solved

Lots of people stopped by the shop today, the sun was out, and I got to play a few holes on the backdoor loop. Good deal!

I spent most of the afternoon with my friend T.M. after going over the online registration details we are setting up for his upcoming Ice Bowl.



A few Santas came in to buy gift certificates and discs for their good little boys and girls. Sorry, I promised not to mention names and spoil Christmas morning.

Jim B stopped in after playing a round at Cogshall Park, a new course in Fitchburg, Donnie stopped in for his daily fix of Bit-O-Honeys, and two people stopped after seeing our sign and wondering what the heck disc golf was.

But the coolest thing of the day was that the mystery hole 10 bench donator at Devens revealed himself and then made a very generous cash donation to the course insurance fund. Thanks very much, Dean, and thanks for offering to bring more benches over. Benches good!

See the rest of you tomorrow!

Another first

We got our first mangled mail this morning. Now that's uhh, umm... an awkward typo. Sounds painful.


On a more civilized note, our neighbor gave us this great treat jar the other day.


Now that I filled it with treats, Aspen really loves coming to the store. The Bit-O-Honeys are for all you humans.

One more year

Another landslide victory! I was re-elected as MA rep for the New England Flying disc Association (NEFA). It's hard to lose when you are the only one running, but I did get 22 votes which is 21 more than I thought I'd get!

But seriously, thank you for voting for me. I appreciate the support.

If you have any questions about disc golf in New England, or MA specifically, feel free to ask me. Becoming a NEFA member is a great way to help support your local and regional courses. Look for a new membership drive to begin early in 2011. The past several years we have had 2-for-1 deals, so don't miss out.

If you'd like to support disc golf on the national level, you can also join the PDGA. If you use my PDGA # 23492 as a referral before the end of the year, Devens Disc Golf Course will receive $5!

Killer B #2, Marcy, is the MA state PDGA coordinator, so she can give you more info on what the PDGA is all about. Email her.
