    Review by aardvarkious in course Hinton DGC

    3.50 star(s) Fun technical course, challenges all stylez Technical and in a fun forest. Always easy to find the next hole. Challenges all throwing styles- if you can't throw both forehand and backhand, you will have some holes that are very tough to drive on. For the most part, underbrush is easy to find...

    Recycled Asphalt at Tees?

    I wonder if sealing it with driveway sealer would help to keep the oils and grit in to increase traction.

    Recycled Asphalt at Tees?

    My club is putting in tee boxes this year (can't wait!). We were going to do concrete, but the Parks department isn't keen on it. They suggested we do recycled asphalt instead. The big pro from my perspective: they will give it to us for free. And from what they told me, it is less labour than...

    how to get work days participants

    Make it clear that if people can only make it for part of the work day, they are still welcome. It would be a real shame to lose someone for the whole day because the first or last half hours don't work. If you have jobs that people can do unsupervised, let them know that they can get an...

    Night discing at a city park.

    The cops didn't like us playing in the dark at first, but there was nothing they could do since our park has no official hours. However, now that we have a relationship with them, they have seen the area around the course get cleaned up, and they actually get who we are: they seem to like us...

    hole sponsorship

    We have annual sponsorship, and get fancy with it. $150 silver sponsorship gets your name/logo on a tee sign only seen by disc golfers. $300 gold sponsorship gets your name/logo on a tee sign near a path so that it it seen by tonnes of non-discers. Our $600 platinum sponsorship is for hole one...

    Wolf adjusted for Disc Golf

    We play wolf regularly when we have five. The wolf shoots last. He picks someone as his partner by saying "wolf" or howling after their disc has left their hand but before it touches the ground. The game now becomes texas scramble, 2 vs 3. Everyone on the winning team for that hole gets one...

    Questions on a few things.

    That is just giving you a general idea of how the sport is supposed to be played, and I don't think should be interpreted as a rule per se. For example, after you are holed out, I would argue that you still have a responsibility (as per the rules) to watch other people for violations. And if...

    Questions on a few things.

    I was talking about etiquette. Yes, you may have the right to clear your disc, but you should still be aware and not do so if someone is setting up. Although, now that I think about it: do you actually have the right to clear your disc under the official PDGA rules? I took a quick look, and...

    Strange wind currents - Eddies etc

    I live in a really windy place, and the people I play tournaments against don't. Meaning I get way more experience in the wind. If I am just playing against myself and not on my home course (where I am used to and depend on the wind), I will score better on a calm day. If the wind picks up, it...

    Strange wind currents - Eddies etc

    Another wind tip is to, if in doubt, use a midrange or even putter- with less glide, they are not effected by the wind as much as many drivers.

    Questions on a few things.

    Note that the quoted rule is "a player may require other players to move themselves or their equipment if either could interfere..." not "players are required to move themselves or their equipment if either could interfere..." You are not required to clear your putt unless asked to by another...

    What about a "drive and drive" tournament?

    If we did it, it would be a small less formal tournament with emphasis on fun instead of winning- prizes would be spread around and minimal, so I wouldn't be too worried about cheating. I would probably let people pick their cards (with the option of signing up and saying "put me wherever it...

    What about a "drive and drive" tournament?

    As I drive around town, there are several spots I have seen that would be AMAZING disc golf holes. Whether because of unique fairways, epic elevation changes, interesting hazards or amazing views I really want to try disc golf in these spots. The problem is, they will never be part of a course-...

    Advice handling being the best player in town (not bragging about my "skills"

    Where did I ever say "I'm kind of a big deal"? Once again: I am far from a great player. I wouldn't even call myself good. I'm sure that almost everyone on this forum would beat me if we played. But the reality is, I am winning most games by at least 15+ strokes because I am the only one with...
