Here's the official post:

At the last Augusta Disc Golf Association (ADGA) meeting, the following members were nominated for the ADGA Board:

• John Carson
• Scott Crackel

After the election, these five Board Members will represent the ADGA through December of 2012.

Announcing our new $10 Tourney Series!

We are happy to announce the new Killer B $10 Tourney Series! Currently, the series is comprised of four tournaments, each costing $10. All events are for amateurs only and nine divisions are offered. Players who "cash" at each event will be invited to a special end-of-season tournament to determine the 2012 $10 Tourney Series Champion in each division.

• Register now! 

Because we are trying to keep player costs low and focus on playing for the fun of the game, there will be no players packs or free lunches. We will award Buzz Bucks to at least 50% of each division and have several prizes at each event, so chances are you will go home with something and qualify for Finals! One dollar from each entry fee goes toward the final tournament and will be used to supply food, trophies, prizes, or added payout.

Registration for Event #1, Winter Edition will open this weekend. You can register online, at the store, or at Patriots Sunday Tag League. Facebook Friends of the Hive will receive exclusive first notice when registration opens.

Let's go!

Tiki golf, anyone?

We're building a tiki bar in front of the store. What do you think about that idea?

Actually, it's from the Caribbean restaurant next door. Anytime there is a breeze, the umbrellas from the outdoor seating go flying down the sidewalk. I'm surprised no one has been skewered yet. Thankfully, my basket usually stops them before they pick up too much steam and cause any damage.

The baskets catch all types of interesting things. Last week, someone on a bicycle tried to touch the chains while riding by and ended up snagging his handlebar. He wasn't going very fast but sounded embarrassed when he said, "I was just trying to touch them." Well you did, buddy.

A few months ago the same thing happened except this guy was going a little bit faster and made quite a racket. He didn't wipe out but looked like a fish trapped in a net.

I'd say that 60% of the people who walk by the basket jingle the chains. You can't resist it. Must. Touch. Chains!

Hott Shott tonight! League starts Feb. 8.

Join us for Hott Shott Putting Night tonight at 7 PM. This will be one of the last preseason nights as we prepare for the official start of HS league on Feb. 8.

Start scoping out the talent and try to land a partner for league. Pick wisely because being crowned league Hott Shott is on the line!

More details will be announced tonight, so get yer bum down to the store! I can't wait to hear what team names you guys come up with!

And of course, there will be 10% off most purchases after league.

IDGC Ice Bowl this Saturday

Got this note from TD Jason at the PDGA:

This year's IDGC Ice Bowl will support the Columbia County Cares Food Bank. Please come show your support on Saturday, January 28. We will have lunch provided and other fun side activities to help raise money for the charity.

Like Ice Bowls here in the past there will be a payout and the event is sanctioned so you can get your first chance at some good 2012 rated rounds.

• More information/flyer

Lunch will be provided, and as usual please bring a food donation or cash donation for Columbia County Cares Food Bank!! I believe we will be playing 2 rounds on the Steady Ed Headrick course, one from the short tees one from the longs.

Killer B on TV again!

We added 5 more seconds to our 15 minutes of fame this Saturday while at the Augusta Ice Bowl. Look for me hitting the putt in the opening scene and then later driving on hole 3 in the news story. I also conveniently stood behind a few others to get in the shot!

• Read the story and watch the video below

Once again FOX54 continues to do a great job covering disc golf in the area. We have been down here in Augusta for just over four months and there has already been three disc golf stories on FOX and two print articles in the local papers. And Killer B has been interviewed, mentioned, or videoed in all of the them! That's pretty awesome if you ask me. Thanks FOX54! I'll probably have to get an agent soon.

Killer B to design a new course in Aiken

I just got final approval to start work on a new course in Aiken County, SC at Boyds Pond Park. Yahoo! I've been itching to make another course and can't wait to get this one in the ground!

This one will be a bit different than others in the CSRA because it is on a former par 3 ball golf course. Most of the existing fairways and water hazards will be used to create some beautiful holes and there are about 9 holes that cut through the surrounding woods that take advantage of the hilly terrain.

Be prepared to go up, down, and across the woods! If you've played my other course in Devens, MA you'll feel right at home on some of these downhill shots.

I just have to finalize the last two holes and it'll be time to start cutting, clearing, and chucking. Keep an eye out for work days and help build the next course in Aiken.

And of course, thank you to Brad Barnes, Director of Aiken County PRT, for giving us this opportunity.

Future hole 7 with a pond down on the left, 400+ ft

Future hole 18: A big bomb through two pine trees guarding the fairway opening. ~400 ft

Get shot at Killer B Wed. night and get 10% off!

The Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau is stopping by the store Wednesday night to shoot some video of Hott Shott putting night to include on their YouTube channel. Be sure to comb your hair and hit all your putts. Video is forever!

We're also giving 10% off all purchases following Hott Shott every Wednesday night. So come on down, have some fun, and save some dough!

It's Ladies League time!

Join us for our third meeting of Ladies League this Saturday at Riverview Park in N. Augusta, SC. Be ready to go at 9:30 and be ready to meet some great lady golfers. No men allowed (unless they caddy!).

Ladies of all skills and ages are welcomed! Most of the girls who have showed up the past two times are new to the sport, so don't feel like you have to be an all-star. Keep score only if you want to!

Email Marcy for more info. See you there!

Ladies League meets the second Saturday of each month and is on a rotating course schedule. Free.

Small & medium hoodies are here!

After much demand, we now have 6 small and 6 medium hoodies in stock. These charcoal sweatshirts are super-soft and look real good, especially with the gold hive on it!

Buy yours online or stop by the store and get one before they sell out again! Also available in M, L, XL, and 2XL.

EDIT: Just 4 smalls left!

If you don't see the size you want online, give us a call and we'll see what's left here at the store.

Hott Shott repeat!

This week saw 18 people show up for Hott Shott putting night, including a handful of new players. Sara N continued her dominance by winning her second week in a row with new partner, Scott C. Nice shooting, guys!

Next week we plan to do singles with a winner and a loser bracket. Or, we may do a third round with just the top 4 teams in an exciting playoff format. See you then!

Week 2 winners Sara N and Scott C

Mike D doles out the Buzz Bucks

Week 2 results

Ouch!

Troy Jenkins promises this is not a staged shot: "My drive off of 14 @ Patriots. I kid you not. The marks are on the tree."

Bet you couldn't do that again if you tried, Troy! 

CSRA DG Club meeting Saturday

Don't forget! The second organizational meeting of the CSRA disc golf club is Saturday, 4PM at the store.

Show us your Hive - Bahrain!

This is definitely the farthest Hive sighting yet! Keith checks in from Bahrain and writes:

We are stationed in Bahrain. Spent Christmas in Jordan traveling to Petra, the Dead Sea, seeing a castle built by the Crusaders, Roman ruins, etc. Many, many places to visit in Jordan. The people are nice and the roads are OK.

I have a picture of the Killer B at Petra, will send that soon. And of course I'll send a photo from Bahrain. We are off to Turkey in the Spring. Cheers, Keith

In case you don't know where Bahrain is, it's over near Saudia Arabia, Qatar, the UA Emirates, and Iran. 

Where have you taken the hive? Send us your pix!

2012 Killer B Bowl winners!

Killer B Bowl results

We had a great day for our first Killer B Bowl. Partly sunny, 68*, and breezy.

TomMac Garrett and James Elkins shot the lights out in AM1 with a 99 (51, 48) while old-timers Jack Korn and JJ Jimenez took down the Century division with the second-best score of the day with a 102 (50, 52).

There was also some impressive shooting in the other divisions, but it's time for sleep now. Complete scores, CTP winners, and photos later!

Thanks for coming out today, everyone! Killer B!
