The Oxdisc trophy

Here's the trophy we're playing for, in it's fourth year:

Summer league is go!

It's the summer of 2009. Already, Oxford's Summer League is on the go. Three weeks in, and only George has managed to make anything near a decent score. Last year's winner, Steve, is on a slow start.

Your summer league organiser, Andy, is about to have a second child (not me, my wife!). And so, we've gone very hi-tech this year.

Scores are entered by players via a Google form, which feeds into a Google Spreadsheet. The details to the right of this page will update automatically as the scores are added. Cool, huh?

Final score time!

And our winner is....

Steve! Congrats to him; it was a strong finish to the season. Steve gets to hold onto to the Oxfisc egg cup for the next year.

Look who's leading the European Open!

13 August update

Steve's consolidating his lead....

21 July - the lead is SHARED!

Well, the lead is shared. Steve Pearce, welcome to the number one spot. And you've still got lots of scope to further your lead: anything under par in either course will score you points. So there is lots of opportunity to overtake Mr Morris!

What's new? I added a "current average" score to the dashboard - we can see how we're doing against our pars. And the bad news is that only Jonny is managing to improve his par so far this year! And he's still wayyyy ahead. Although Steve's going through a purple patch and could easily catch up. C'mon Steve!

13 June update

We've nearly got all players with a full set of scores - just myself (Andy), Neal and Steve need to get out and play a little before we're complete. Jonny's still steaming ahead, but it's mid-summer, we have the rest of the Summer to catch him up (didn't we say that last year?)

Andy and Neal both got some big blips at the "high" end of their score profiles thanks to some horrendous rain last Sunday. Keeping discs dry was next to impossible, and any kind of grip was hard to come by. Not pleasant!

21 May update

The dashboard layout is changing week by week.... I think I've settled on something that I'm happy with now. Click the link to see the scores.

Here's more update. I took out the dateline chart coz it just wasn't working!

We're off!

We have started the 2008 summer league. Same rules as last year:

• Every round you play in SP or HH throughout British Summer time counts.
  
• Your top 5 scores in each park count to your final Summer League score.
  
• Any rounds played on a Sunday or Wednesday are eligible.
  
• There must be at least two Summer League players in a round for it to count.
• Get the scores to Andy

Andy is time-poor so the updates to the blog and league scores may be a little slower than last year.

I can tell you that Jonny is already on fire once again....

It's 2008

A new year begins, and at some stage, I will think about the next running of the summer league.

As always, we will start when the clocks change in late Spring.

There are sure to be some other changes but watch this space and let me know if you think of anything.

Otherwise, happy new year and keep on golfing through the winter!

It's over. Our 2007 winner is...

.... Warren "new boy" Rodel.

Congratulations - a great improvement since the start of the summer makes Warren a deserved winner. Full scores available above and on the link to the spreadsheet.

I will sort out lots of stats and stuff in a week or so.

Bring on 2008!

I've mapped South Park's 12 holes out on Google Maps. The full 12 are available here.

Time is running out

With a mere four or five weeks of golf left to play, things are getting interesting at the top.

George and Andy are a little way behind, and Jonny can only score with some monster rounds.

That leaves Steve to chase Warren. Both will be fresh from the experience at Hayling Hurricane and both could take the trophy.

The next few weeks should be exciting....

A new leader!

After what seems like months, Jonny's top spot is taken over by newcomer Warren. Congrats.

Jonny's got to work hard to get any more points after a blinding start to the summer but the rest of us have room for improvement, most particularly Warren: he's now our boy to beat.
