Vibram spotlight: Ascent

We kick off Vibram Open Week with the Ascent, a slightly overstable fairway driver.

Remember, you get $2 off all Vibram discs this week at the store! Rubber rules!

It's Vibram Week at the Hive!

It's Vibram Open Week at the store! All Vibram discs are $2 off, plus you'll get a free Vibram sticker!

The VO holds a special place in my disc golf heart. I worked at Maple Hill a few summers ago, blogged for the last two Vibram Opens, and even wrote a feature article on the '09 VO for DiscGolfer magazine.

I'm bummed that I'm missing it this year, but you can bet I'll be watching it live on DGPTV.

Get a taste of what makes the Vibram so special by poking around my old blogs and photo albums. (Some links may be broken, tho.)

If you are within a couple hours drive of MA, get your butt there this week! Great course, great time, great people. Good luck to Augusta local Josh Childs as he heads up again this year. Last year he recorded an ace on hole 4, so you know he's got to like Maple Hill!

New limited edition Fade Tourney bags are in!

Check out this year's limited edition design from Fade!

Bright and fun with a little street mixed in. Only available in black and in the tourney size.

When they're gone, they're gone!

More stuck discs

Here are a few shots from across the country including Vermont, Illinois, and Georgia. Send your stuck disc shots to us! More pix here.

Truly a trashy shot.

We're moving to the Hippodrome!

We are happy to announce that Killer B Disc Golf Shop is moving across the river to the Hippodrome Disc Golf Course in N. Augusta, SC! That's less than 3 miles from our downtown location!

We are teaming up with the ever-energetic and current Pro Legend World Champion Pete May and Tim Peterson to make the Hippodrome a great destination for disc golf.

We have big plans that include a pro shop, new signage and tee pads, new high school and adult leagues this Fall, a driving range, and several tournaments a year (PDGA and non-sanctioned).

I will be overseeing the day-to-day operations of the four courses as well as Killer B and can't wait!

We should be good to go by October 1, and we'll be sure to keep you posted on how things are coming along.

So get ready Augusta, things just got a whole lot better in our little corner of the disc golf world!

We've got news...

But first this hint... Post your guess on Facebook!

$10 Tourney - Summer recap and pix

Another successful Killer B $10 Tourney is in the books! It's cool to see players figuring out which division they now belong after their third tournament. That's a good thing. Players are getting better and rivalries are starting. 

$10 Champs!

This Sunday saw another sudden death playoff between Juniors Branden Hill and Will DeBruin. Unlike their 5-hole playoff in the Spring Tourney, this one lasted just one hole with Branden sidearming a beautiful park job on hole 1.

During the players meeting, we had our usual Flip Off. Ten year old Jackson Dunn out-flipped 55 golfers and won a Vibram VP putter! Later while final results were being tallied, Mike Doyle ran the ace pot throw-off (and won it! Hmm...) followed by the Ring of Fire sponsored by Matt Bonitatibus. Brandon Phipps won a Killer B performance jersey that Matt donated.

Killer B kicked in a bunch of discs for CTPs and Big Dog Sweeton sponsored the scratch-off ticket CTP for each card in round 2. I have to admit, for such a small inexpensive tournament, we had some good prizes and player perks! Sponsors kick butt!

Photos & Results
See all the photos from Sunday and complete results.

Congrats to the other divisional winners:

• Advanced - Aaron Doyle
• Master - Erick Kramer
• Grandmaster - Chuck Hornsby
• Women - Susan Leseueur
• Intermediate - Steven Shelton
• Rec - Brandon Phipps
• Juniors - Branden Hill

Sponsors Rock!

Our players were fed, watered, Gatoraded, and watermeloned thanks to our awesome sponsors. Special thanks to Robolli's Italian Bar and Grill who supplied free pizza for lunch and our other sponsors David's Heating and Air, Bullard Dental, Lonnie and Austin Phillips, Big Dog Sweeton, the IDGC, Batman, and Mike Smith!

Next!

See you at the Fall Edition on Oct 7. Course TBD!

Paul Batman Childs made our snazzy trophy discs!

Leah B won the Spirit of the Olympics Award for having fun the whole day and never giving up!

Killer B, Killer B, Killer B
