    Post pics of your Disc Dog

    Since last summer when I put my Huskie Bandit's picture in here (small pix above as my avatar), we have adopted a new dog who is now Bandit's best buddy and my 2nd Disc Dog. It took a couple months of training by me and Bandit (mainly Bandit) but Rex is now a full-fledged disc dog. Picture of...

    Running up to a disc?

    Thanks gvan, I stand corrected. :o Reading back over the rules, that is absolutely correct. Guess I need to go back to the whole rulebook one more time myself. :D

    Running up to a disc?

    If you don't have or don't want to use a mini disc, another way I have done it and seen it done is to flip your disc over toward the basket. That way the edge furthest from the basket is now where the front edge once was. The rules allow you to stand or plant a foot as far forward as your disc...

    Running up to a disc?

    Below, straight out of the PDGA rules manual should answer all questions. Yeah, I know it boring but it is the straight answer. A. When the disc is released, a player must: (1) Have at least one supporting point that is in contact with the playing surface on the line of play and within 30...

    I just joined a couple weeks ago and got a 167g Discraft Stratus, Black with Gold Stamp. Thrown once just to see how a Discraft disc flies and now hanging on my wall at work.

    What's an old fart doing playing disc golf?

    I'm 58 and took this game up a few months ago. I was always at the park walking my dog and decided one day that I would give it a try. Was about to get discouraged when I met another "old fart" (not quite as old as me) whose son and my daughter attended elementary school together. He brings...

    Review by Bandit's Ride in course Glenn C. Hilton Memorial Park

    4.00 star(s) Fun, Fair but Tough A good variety of holes, left and right fairways and water that plays a factor on a couple holes for added "adventure" but not too deep so wading out to get your disc is easy. Terrain changes that challenge you on a few holes. Seems to be just about free of Poison Ivy and...

    Funniest/weirdest thing you've seen on the course

    My wife Has just started playing and on a good throw can maybe launch it 80-90 ft. which is better than the 30 ft. when she first started. We were playing hole #14 at Glen Hilton Park in Hickory, NC which is a 165 ft. straight downhill shot, lined on both sides with woods and the basket is...
