I just clicked to read the article and the only thing that loaded was an ad for a funeral home. Irony??

My shoulder killed every time I got done playing when I first started but it doesn't happen anymore. Anyways, I was trying to play a quick round after work and my throw on a par 3 went a little of course and just into the trees, not wanting to lose it I starting running directly to where I saw...

Not really a lost disc story but I feel it applies. When I can't find a disc on an open hole or lightly wooded I return to the tee and try to replicate the throw to show me the correct area I should be looking. It almost always works and about half the time I find the first disc I threw first...

4.00 star(s) -Concrete tee pads -Mix of lengths most on the shorter side -Design brings trees into play on everyhole, you will need a variety of shots to adjust -Small park that gets crowded on the weekends A couple long ones to test the accuracy and distance but shorter ones to too that are still tough. I...

3.00 star(s) -The course isn't very busy (but the park is) -Some trees and elevations changes and variety of distances to keep things interesting -Hole 8 throws on the concrete path but all other tee are dirt and uneven (I usually throw off the grass next to the tee -A walking path runs through the course...

1.50 star(s) What a shame -Very well keep -Nice scenery -Would be a good practice course if it was close for you -It's technically private property -Apparently hired survellance persons circle by occasionally and run people off -Course layout it odd -No signs or teepad but the basket are numbered -I wasn't...

Also, a big problem with running or sprinting especially when it's hot it the lack of water fountains at the courses I play and I forget to bring a water bottle most the time or it gets all warm and natsy from sitting in my car for a few hours.

My first post I usually play 3 discs on every hole and jog in between to keep pace with the group in front of me or to catch up. I play mostly 9 hole courses but usually play the course 5 or 6 times on Saturday and Sunday. This is an excellent work out and I'm usually exhauted at the end...
