    HOD 2/3/2023: Spiritwood - Main Hole #11 Victor, MT

    The course has received upgraded baskets and cement tees since this pic was taken. Shameless plug for the 15th Annual Spiritwood Ice Bowl tomorrow! RHBH Beat Star Wraith from the tee for as much straight distance as you can get. Hope to fade out just before the bushy pine leaving a 80’ ish...

    One day in the Twin Cities area

    I played Bethel U in the morning and was a little underwhelmed by it - maybe my expectations were too high. I had some navigation issues with the snow cover, the leaves, and the many social trails going through the course. Also seemed odd to me that the yellow pads played to blue baskets and...

    One day in the Twin Cities area

    Title says it all. I unexpectedly have tomorrow (Friday, Oct 14th) free while visiting family near the Twin Cities. Weather won’t be too nice, but looking to play at least one and maybe more quality courses within 70 ish miles of the Cities. I’ve played Kaposia, CP Adams, and The Valley all...

    Top Course In Every State Heading Into 2020

    I concur that while Baldfoot is a fun course through a beautiful cedar forest, it is no where near top 100 in the world. 3 ish sounds like a reasonable rating. Be sure to check out the 9 holer in Clark Fork, ID on your panhandle trip. I don’t normally recommend 9 holers, but it has two tees...

    Disc Golf in the News

    Some good press https://missoulian.com/sports/local/missoula-s--year-old-world-champion-jon-graff-finds/article_fe30258e-07ba-554f-9fe1-955fca9b20b2.html

    Warning to Clubs. Avoid Fly18

    We installed 9 of these on a trial basis a few years ago. They are much more durable than either the Fly 18 or Launch Pads, but they aren’t nearly as porous so they don’t allow water to pass through the pad which makes them MUCH slicker/more slippery than either of the other brands when wet. If...

    Warning to Clubs. Avoid Fly18

    We actually just took out the last paver teepad on one of our courses. It held up well for nearly 20 years, but was starting to have issues and the powers that be didn’t like it anymore... Not sure that the turf tees are a legit option in our case. I’ve heard good things about them, but until I...

    Warning to Clubs. Avoid Fly18

    Our Club has had similar issues dealing with Reece, but we eventually did receive the rubber we ordered. Is there another vendor for this type of rubber mats? We have a couple other projects in the works and would much rather not deal with him again.

    Moab and Zion road trip. Where to play??

    A buddy and I are heading to Moab to explore Canyonlands and Arches National Parks for a few days. Then we’ll head to the Grand Canyon for a day before spending a few days exploring Zion and hopefully Bryce Canyon, too. We’ll be taking I-15 down to Provo from Montana then making a big loop...

    Club Bag Tag Etiquette Question

    Our Club orders two #1 Tags just in case someone wins it and leaves town, it gets lost, etc... Saves all the drama of this scenario and costs next to nothing in the big picture. In 14 years we’ve had to break out the reserve #1 4 times I think...

    Most players in a 1 day two round event?

    I clearly announced at this year’s event that next year there will be a cap and registration will be pre-reg only that will open in tiers. Once it opens for all I fully expect it to fill within an hour if not sooner. If they miss out on their pre-reg window too bad for them! :)

    Most players in a 1 day two round event?

    ^^^ True and for the A tier I run that usually fills in minutes I have no problem turning people away as the cap is clearly publicized. This event can and has held 130-140+ players in the past with no major issues. I didn’t say there was a cap for this event so therefore I couldn’t in good...

    Most players in a 1 day two round event?

    I agree with that and wish most players saw it that way

    Most players in a 1 day two round event?

    As the TD I agree that I should’ve capped the event, but for reasons stated above I didn’t. Without a well publicized cap, how do you turn people away from an event that they likely travelled 150-250 or more miles to attend? And to put it into perspective how far from anywhere this tournament...
