We love fan art!

I forgot to post this disc that World Champ Avery Jenkins gave us after he played in the PDGA Championships last month. Thanks, Champ!

Fan art from the Champ!

Chuck loves the love.

It was Sunday. Discs were slung.

I joined the Augusta Sunday Slingers this week for two rounds at the IDGC in Appling. Nine golfers showed up and we played our first round on the Steady Ed Headrick Memorial course, a woodsy, technical course. It was beautiful out there by the lake - a crisp 45-degrees, sunny, and a little fog too.

Mark had the shot of the day with his drive on hole 5. Plunked straight into a broken-off tree!

I meant to do that!


After a lunch of burgers, chips, and brownies, we head out for a second round on the longer and challenging Jim Warner Memorial course. Man, I loved that course. Long open fairways carved through the forest, up and down hills and across valleys. Very fun. It was a long round, but a fun one with Gene, Phil, and Taylor. Thanks for showing me the course guys.

Next week, the Slingers head over Aiken, SC for 9 holes at Odell and then 9 holes at USC/Aiken. Visit SundaySlingers.com for more info and to join the group.

Mini-9 charity pix

Mark sent me this note and photos from his mini disc golf tournament he held recently at Riverview. Glad it was a success!
Well, on an excellent sunny Sunday afternoon in middle October the crowd gathered early to watch their favorite players at Riverview, North Augusta. Needless to say there was an expectation of certain individuals that they were ready. The competition was in the air however it was so well mixed with beginners that the fun was electric.
I spent time encouraging folks to participate because we had advertised a "tournament" and they said they were just not that good. I went into delivering the simple explanation of odds to win great prizes ($3425) for a minimum entry fee ($5). I then told them about "Project Rescue of Amazon Youth," the orphanage in Brazil and that 100% of the proceeds were going to the little girls who have enough food for one year with a donation of $250.
It really turned out it was about answering the flier from Britni Thornton and Amy Cook to come out and play the best. With the support of Killer B Disc Golf I had enough score cards and the game being very honorable everyone easily identified Brendon and Amy Cook as winners. Our entire project brought in $15,000. A special thanks out to all that contributed and continue to do so.

Lakeside represents!

Evan and Jacob from the newly-formed Lakeside HS disc golf club stopped in to meet Chuck today. Wurd.

Another Killer B article!

We were mentioned this week in the local newspaper, the Verge, in conjunction with coverage about the upcoming Disc Golf for Kid's Sake tournament at the IDGC.

It's another great bit of publicity for the B! Thanks Chris!
Feel free to pick up a copy and bring it to the store for free autographs! Ha ha!

New ladies league forming in Augusta!

After having such a blast at the ladies-only Magnolia Open this weekend, Mrs Killer B thought it would be a great idea for us to sponsor a monthly league for the ladies of Augusta.

Who's in? It will be a fun, one round singles league followed by lunch on the second Saturday of every month. The first day will be Nov. 12 at Pendleton King Park and then rotate to other courses. Killer B will throw in a door prize each month too!

All you have to do is show up ready to have some fun! All ages and skill levels welcome. Email Marcy if you are interested and she will add you to the list!

Get the new Vibram Ibex before anyone else!

I've gotten my hands on 10 of the new Vibram Ibex midranges in a special tournament stamp. The regular Ibex's aren't scheduled to be released until Oct. 21 so now is your chance to grab a first run and be the cool kid on the course.

Stop by the store and grab one now or I can also ship to you non-Augustans. I only have 10 in weights between 170-172. $20

Ibex - straight midrange


Local CJ who has been playing for just one month just stopped in as I was writing this to tell me he hit a 60 foot "putt" on hole 1 at Patriots with his new Ibex he got yesterday. Mike Murphy of MA just posted on our Facebook page, "It's my new favorite midrange! Already got a black ace off one!" The Ibex works!

I've also got a few nice stools from the PDGA Championships waiting for your butt. If you are going to start playing tournaments, you're going to need to get a stool. Save energy. Putt like a mad man. Win.

Look Mom, I'm on TV

Here's a bootleg copy of the story. I'll repost once they publish it to their website. Not too bad for my first tv interview.

Next up, I'm shooting for SportsCenter or maybe Springer.

We're going to be on Fox 54 tonight!

I was interviewed today by Teri Hornstein of Fox 54 TV for a story about new downtown businesses and disc golf in Augusta. Hopefully I did the sport and Augusta justice and didn't sound too much like an idiot! Teri also interviewed a customer and took some action shots.

It'll air tonight during the 10:00 news and be posted on their website in a couple days. I'll be sure to post it no matter how it comes out!

Overall it was a lot of fun. Thanks for helping get the buzzzz out, Fox!

Teri, Taylor, and Killer B

Brooks gives his opinion of the local disc golf scene.

Getting my game face on before the interview!

The Sole is appropriate

The new Vibram putter, the Sole, has just arrived! Why is it appropriate that I sell this new more traditional putter at my new store?

Post your answer in a comment. Maybe you'll win something. Maybe you won't.

That is a lot of Innova!

Look what the UPS guy just dropped off! Seven boxes full of new plastic for you to touch.

Which box are the new Pro Vulcans in?

Most of this will be on the shelf by Tuesday night!
