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!
