    Is throwing forehand bad for the shoulder?

    I just started playing DG last year, shortly after having rotator cuff surgery. At the time, all I could throw was forehand, due to my severely limited range of motion (I couldn't even reach across to buckle my seat belt). At first it would get my shoulder pretty sore, and almost reached the...

    Review by astrowolf67 in course Eiffel Tower Park

    1.50 star(s) Neglected and abused Bathrooms are close by, and fairly clean. A course map at hole 1, made from sattelite images gives you a great idea of what you are getting in to. Once you get into the woods, there's lots of shade. The front 9 are excellet holes, with well defined fairways, and providing...

    I'm done.

    My doctor refused to start with the cortizone shot. He told me it would make it feel better, even if there was a tear, giving me a false sense of being healed. Which, could lead to making the injury even worse. David

    Review by astrowolf67 in course Marshall County DGC

    3.50 star(s) Golf and a good workout Course is in an extremely well maintained park. Trees are in play on most holes, but it's not like throwing through a forest. Well defined fairways with good signs and flow. Course is laid out so there's no interference with other park activities, except the occasional...

    Review by astrowolf67 in course Central Park DGC

    3.50 star(s) Well maintained and defined Course is very well maintained, great signs, and good flow from one hole to the next. All but two holes are well placed to avoid interference from other park activities. Plenty of challenges with trees, and elevation changes. Lots of variety throughout. Hole three...

    Review by astrowolf67 in course Kess Creek DGC - Old Layout

    1.50 star(s) Crowded on weekends Tight course, two rounds can be played in less than an hour. First three holes offer somewhat of a challenge. Once you get past the first three holes, the last six offer no terrain, or natural challenges. It's just grip it and rip it time. During the fall, when I wrote my...

    I'm done.

    I had a work related injury last year, which resulted in the same pain and conditions you describe. I had a 60 lb box of fountain syrup fall from over head. I threw my right fore arm up to protect my head, and the impact with my arm, pulled it backwards pretty good behind me. Workmans comp...

    What would you throw

    Forehand, standing still, Quest Scream. If the dog leg turn was sharper, I'd say same shot, only with my Groove. David

    What is the worst disc you ever bought?

    The worst disc I ever bought, was a Gateway Diablo DT. It flies nothing like I expected it to, either forehand, or backhand. Plus, the dimples in the rim pack with mud and dirt too easy. I have a Groove, and, although my arm isn't enough for it, and it doesn't fly like I expected it to, I...

    Common mistakes at first tournament

    As others have said, use a marker disc. And, place the marker down BEFORE picking up your disc. Don't ask how I know to share this tidbit of info. If the tourney is in a public park, where the public is allowed to go about their business during the tourney, ask the TD what the rules are about...

    The Dreaded Anhyzer Hole

    With my arm, fore hand, over the top of the small clump of trees to the left, with my Groove. The Groove, which I almost took out of my bag due to lack of enough arm, has become my go to disc for most holes with a sharp dog leg. David

    Help me name a hole.

    Pinball has already been used on this course, at hole 16. It was very appropriately used at that! David
