Show Us Your Hive! California

After Pro Worlds ended on Saturday, Mrs. B. and I headed up to San Francisco for a little R&R.

I'm taking the Tuesday night red-eye and should arrive in Boston by 8, so I hope to get to the store by noon. See you then if I'm not snoozing behind the counter.

Killing it at Pro Worlds

I've been in Santa Cruz, CA since Saturday helping cover the Pro World Championships. Mainly I've been taking a lot of photos and writing up a random blog or article for PDGA.com. It's been pretty busy and each night I am pooped.

I've met tons of people including many head honchos of various disc-related companies and organizations, and of course players from all over the world. My favorite so far has been world long distance record holder, Christian Sandstrom. His signature disc, the Valkyrie, is my favorite disc so it was great to meet him. During the long distance contest on Sunday, he chucked a disc 624 ft into a steady headwind!

It all ends Saturday with Finals at Pinto Lake. Until then, it's back to work!

Ace times two!

Yesterday was a good day for aces at Devens. Patrick Johnson hit hole 12 with a Vibram Trak in the afternoon and I hit hole 9, aka the Borelli Bunch hole, at league with a KC Pro Aviar!

It was Patrick's first career ace and he couldn't stop smiling. Nice job, buddy!

Patrick Johnson

This was my second ace on hole 9 and when you add Marcy's first and only ace she got there a few years ago, that makes three for the Borelli Bunch. I was definitely due -- my last ace was at a tournament at Pye Brook 15 months ago!

What was even cooler was that I had my dog Smokey with me to witness it. He didn't seem too impressed but I know inside he was proud of his old man. 

Last night I officially passed the Wednesday Weekly torch to Luke A. and it was great to be just a player again after so many years. I guess getting an ace was karma's way of thanking me last night, huh?

Also congrats to Daniel Marcus for shooting the lights out at league and setting a new course record of 48! Wow! He said it was his first bogey-free round at Devens. Great job! That's going to be a tough one to beat.

Pro Worlds next week!

I'm starting to get a little excited about going out to Santa Cruz, CA Saturday to cover Pro Worlds. I just found their Facebook page and found this clip with Nate Doss and Val Jenkins doing a morning talk show.

They both stopped by our league last year with Avery Jenkins and did a clinic for our league members so it's always nice to see friends of the Hill get some press.

Plus, it's funny to watch reporters try disc golf for the first time. :)

666 Devil Went Down to Georgia Tourney - Aug 21

It's a going-away tournament for Killer B!

Here's the info from Luke:

*****
Donnie Phillips and Luke Adolph are co-TDing a tourney with a joint purpose. We would like to send Devens LEGEND John Borelli down to Georgia in style while raising some money for Dave James & his family.

Many of you know the Borelli story but here it is regardless! Marcy took a new job at PDGA headquarters in Appling, GA back in April and John has stayed behind in Massachusetts to tie up all the loose ends here. Well, the day is coming soon that John will rejoin his distant love in Georgia and leave us all behind.

John hinted a few times that we should throw him a going away tourney but I think we would have done it anyway even without his persistence! In all honesty, John has been an integral part of the Devens course and to the local disc golf scene and he will be missed by all of us.

We also thought that while we are all getting together to see John off to Georgia why not try and help a local disc golfer family at the same time! A couple of years ago John ran a tournament to raise money for Meg James, the daughter of Dave and Kari James. Meg had been diagnosed with Leukemia and we raised a decent amount of money which assisted the family with the obviously staggering bills and expenses.

Meg finished her treatment in May only to relapse in June. She is back in treatment now receiving chemo. Soon she will receive radiation and then a bone marrow transplant. The family is being as hopeful as possible but they could really use our support and positive thoughts.

Along with half of the money from the low entry fees going directly to the family we will also have a donation jar at the registration table. Please bring what you can to support them and consider donating any winnings.

Please join us on August 21st!
