The new Killer B tournament blog debuts at Vibram Open!

Yes! Another disc golf blog! I've started another one for tournaments that I attend called Putt and Approach.

Starting tomorrow, I'll be blogging at the Vibram Open at Maple Hill. Same kind of stuff as the past two years -- what's going on, what's scheduled for the day, who just clunked one off a tree, and lots of photos. It will be part of the VO social explosion that includes live video, scoring, and Facebook and Twitter stuff.

So, check it out and add it to your daily disc golf reading. And spread the word.

Bloggin' and buzzin'. That's how we roll.

Two minutes!

Uh, make that two days until we close our MA store. It's been busy the past few days and I appreciate everyone stopping by to wish us luck.

We're open until 6 today and Wednesday, so stop by if you can. If not, I'll be down at the Vibram Open the rest of the week helping out.

Anyone along I-95 want to open up their home to us, the dogs, and a moving truck for a night?  :-)

The best disc golfers in the world are coming to MA this week!

Do yourself a favor and get your butt to Leicester, MA this week to watch the best disc golfers in the world compete in the Vibram Open at Maple Hill disc golf course.

Last year's Open winner, Nikko Locastro

Look in your bag and pull out a disc with a signature on it. Chances are good that that person will be at this event! Newly-crowned world champions Nate Doss and Page Pierce will be there, as well as former champs Nikko Locastro, Eric McCabe, Avery Jenkins, Valerie Jenkins, Dave Feldberg, and Barry Schultz.

The festivities start Thursday with Match Play and the Five Spot Tournament. The actual tournament starts Friday and runs through Sunday. Admission is free and there are all sorts of fun things to watch, especially the long distance contest. Bring a blank disc and a Sharpie and get some autographs too!

• Complete schedule
• Main website

There will also be a special screening of the disc golf documentary Chains on Wed. night at 8:30. If you can't make it to the tournament, you'll be able to watch it live on DiscGolfPlanet.TV and keep up with live scoring and the blog which I'll be doing for the third year in a row. I'll post the link once everything is ready to go.

And who knows, maybe we'll get some pros to come to league the following week. We snagged Val, Avery, and Nate last year but it may be tough this year since we're headed to GA on Wed. but you never know!

We surprised our league members with a free pro clinic by Val, Avery, and Nate!

Are you having a sale?

A few days ago a guy called and instead of the customary hello just blurted out, "Are you having a sale?" I answered, "A sale on what?"

"Well you're going out of business so you should have a sale."

"I'm not going out of business. I'm moving."

Then with a good amount of attitude he told me I should have a sale because he saw an online store having a sale and I should match their price for the item he wanted. I told him I couldn't do that but if he wanted to pay shipping and wait for his stuff to come in a few days instead of coming to Killer B and getting it today for roughly the same price, then he should order from them. I guess he didn't like my suggestion and he hung up on me.

So, to summarize, I am not having a blowout sale. After all, I need some stock for my new store in GA!

Our new sticker?

We're all out of our first sticker design. What do you think about this one?

Or should we just reprint our first black and white version?

Ace in Appling!

Congratulations to Grandmaster Jon Jiminez who aced hole 14 on the Steady Ed Headrick course in Appling, GA during the IDGC Global Tournament this weekend.

That's one way to make sure no one else gets the Killer B sponsored CTP! See you at the store next month, Jon!

The circle is complete

Our first tournament at Devens was an Ace Race and Doubles event in Oct. 2007. We had 23 people participate (original post). My partner Dave James and I ended up winning Dubs when Dave aced hole 1 in a playoff. It was an incredible way to win a tournament and a great way to open tournament play at the Hill.

Blast from the Past: Oct 20, 2007



This past Sunday, almost four years and several tournaments later, we had another doubles event to complete the circle and close the Borelli era at Devens. This one had 58 golfers and was just as fun, but was much more meaningful for Dave and me.

The 666 Devil Went Down to Georgia tournament was a going-away tournament for me and I appreciate all the kind words and well wishes from everyone. Before awards, Dave presented me with a disc signed by everyone at the tournament as well as the guys from league. I was not expecting it and must admit that I was really touched by the gesture. Thank you again, everyone. That disc is going front and center in the new store!

For Dave I know it was special because once again the disc golf community came together to help one of its own. We raised almost $1100 for Dave and his family to help offset expenses as they deal with another bout of leukemia with their daughter Meg. Great job golfers and thank you for your generosity!

Although Dave and I weren't partners this time around, I kept the winning tradition alive with Donnie Disc Golf as my partner and we won by one stroke. No ace this time though!
