About This League
Thursdays at Dolly Cooper: Week 9/10 of Grinch redemption arc. Flex start 9AM-4:40PM. Based on The Grinch films. $50 ace pot guaranteed by FL!PT. Unnecessarily dramatic disc golf. 🎄⛓️
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
*Adjusts headset from the broadcast booth*
Welcome to FLiPT Disc Golf's production of "How the Grinch Stole Chainsmas"—a club whose mission statement is "unnecessarily. dramatic. disc golf." They looked at weekly league play and said, "What if we made this a ten-episode prestige television series?" And here we are, folks. Here. We. Are.
📺 Episode 9: "Tyger Welcome"
We're in Week 9 of 10 in this Seussian saga. The Grinch has descended from Mount Crumpit, dragging his sled of stolen baskets (chains jingling like bells, naturally), and is being welcomed into the Whoville disc golf community. After stealing every basket on Christmas Eve, watching Whoville have MORE fun with object golf, and experiencing the growth of his icy heart, he's now one of us.
Next week is the season finale—"Chainsmas Ace"—where the Grinch attempts Dolly Cooper's impossible downhill tunnel shot. Spoiler from the script: his disc flies true, chains sing, Whoville erupts. No pressure on anyone named Grinch who shows up next Thursday.
🏞️ The Arena: Dolly Cooper Disc Golf Park
Our stage is Dolly Cooper in Powdersville, SC—a 2019 course featuring 18 holes of par-54 riverside drama. You'll encounter wooded corridors, significant elevation changes, and the distinctive "Mars" red clay section that honestly looks like it was designed for a Seuss book. Open holes. Tight tunnels. The Saluda River threatening your plastic. It's chef's kiss perfect for this narrative.
Schedule note: We're mostly at Dolly Cooper, but Week 5 (January 1st, New Year's Day) takes us to Timmons Park—because nothing says "Happy New Year" like frozen fairways and questioning your life choices.
⏰ Format: Flex Start Chaos
Every Thursday, tee times from 9:00 AM to 4:40 PM. Choose your own adventure. Show up when your schedule allows, grab your card, and become part of this Whoville story. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but with more trees and OB.
🎭 The Two Pools (Because Theme Matters)
MPO, FPO, MP40, MA1, MP50, MP60, MA2 - These are the divisions that take their isolation seriously. Currently led by Stephen Scoggins in MPO with 324 points over 24 events (that's commitment, folks), and Zach Taylor dominating MA1 with 314 points in 17 rounds.
MJ18, FJ18, MJ15, FJ15, MA40, MA50, MA60, FA40, MA3, MA4, FA1, FA2, FA3, FA4 - Everyone else, including all our junior divisions and recreational players. Jonathan Armstrong is crushing MA3 with 352 points in 21 rounds. The Revelers are bringing the energy.
💰 The Ace Pot Situation
Current pot: $50. Here's how this works, because the math is more interesting than it looks:
- Players have contributed $30 to the ace pot
- FL!PT Leagues (the platform, not the disc shop) guarantees a $50 minimum
- So FL!PT is currently covering the $20 gap
- The displayed pot stays at $50 until contributions exceed the guarantee
- If someone aces, they get the full $50 (any guarantee top-up goes to their Bonus Account—registration-only, not withdrawable)
Important: Another Round Greenville is our awesome local retail partner/sponsor. The ace pot guarantee comes from FL!PT Leagues (the platform itself), not the shop. Different pots, different sources.
💵 Entry Fees Breakdown
- $5 - Base entry fee (required)
- $5 - Optional prize pool (recommended if you like money)
- $3 - Ace pot (optional but why wouldn't you?)
- $2 - Super ace (optional, because regular aces are too mainstream)
- $15 total if you're all-in on the chaos
📊 Series Standings Drama
Across all divisions, we've got some stories developing:
- MPO: Stephen Scoggins leads with 324 points, but Valentin Lutsenko just moved UP to 3rd, bumping Alexander Goodson DOWN. The chains remember.
- MA3: Jonathan Armstrong has 352 points in 21 events. Leo Evette moved UP to 3rd, Matthew Case slid DOWN to 4th. It's tight.
- MA4: Stewart Gunter (407 pts) vs Chase Johnson (382 pts) in a battle for the ages. Joshua Lockaby moved UP to 4th while Kenneth Vogel dropped DOWN to 5th.
Every throw matters. Every position change is tracked. This is The Culling, but with more heart growth and fewer actual eliminations.
🎬 Week 9 of 10: Join the Finale!
Look, we're in the third act of this story. The Grinch has been redeemed. Next week he parks an impossible shot and becomes legend. You can still jump in! Late-season entries are very on-brand for redemption arcs. Show up Thursday, throw some plastic, become part of Chainsmas folklore.
Plus, with flex start times from 9 AM to 4:40 PM, you can literally choose when to enter this narrative. Morning person? Afternoon warrior? We accommodate all character types.
Last week's stats: 12 players showed up for "Crumpit Descent," average score was +1, no aces. Solid turnout for Episode 8. The Grinch returned the baskets. Whoville prepared a custom FLIPT League tag with his name on it. It was very touching.
This is FLiPT Disc Golf doing what they do best: making weekly league play feel like prestige television. Their mission is "unnecessarily dramatic disc golf," and folks, they are nailing it. We're playing out a children's book as if it's Game of Thrones, and somehow it works.
Shoutout to Another Round Greenville—our local retail partner and sponsor who supports this beautiful chaos. Need discs? Need advice? They've got you covered. They're not guaranteeing the ace pot (that's FL!PT Leagues), but they ARE making this whole operation possible.
*Broadcast voice returns*
From the booth, this is Flippy, your reluctantly festive axolotl narrator. One week remains until the Chainsmas finale. The Grinch has been welcomed. The impossible tunnel shot awaits. And somewhere, Mount Crumpit overlooks Dolly Cooper, no longer echoing with complaints but with the sound of chains ringing true.
Thursdays. Dolly Cooper. 9 AM - 4:40 PM. Week 9 of 10.
The arena—sorry, the course—awaits. 🎄⛓️
