    Can I take them down?

    Well that didn't go as planned. I missed 15 putts from inside 20' over the 3 rounds, and finished 7th, 7 shots off Val and the final... :oops: Awesome meeting and playing with all three of them over the weekend, and they did a great clinic for us after the rounds on Saturday. What great...

    European Open - the only major outside the U.S. in 2009

    I'm gonna have to get my arse out there for 2011, I haven't been back since the 2005 European Championships, and I owe that course a whupping.

    Can I take them down?

    Hehe, thanks for the support guys :) I have absolutely no effing idea what "Gillooly" means though! :?:

    Can I take them down?

    The following players are dropping into our BDGA Tour C-Tier in London this weekend, on their way back from the European Open in Finland: Nate Doss (1038) Avery Jenkins (1032) Valerie Jenkins (967) Can I (Neil Webber (967)) get anywhere close to the guys, and edge out Val? I haven't finished...

    Question for Europeans

    I have it on good authority that all Texan's like to touch ham, and that the girls in Kentucky like to sleep with hedgehogs, as they're the only things in the state with pricks longer than 1.5"...

    Question for Europeans

    I'd never thought of it as a cultural thing, but I definitely judge myself internally on how I'm playing, rather than how I'm scoring. If I throw a good throw that gets a bad kick and goes OB, I can shrug it off as bad luck. If I throw some dog of a throw that gets a lucky kick and ends up...

    Have you gotten your Discgolfer magazine yet?

    Yep, I got mine about 2 weeks ago, in London, UK!

    I hope this isn't the same guy....

    Thing is, this isn't what happened. They told them (and 2 others) that they couldn't support it any more due to numbers, but they were free to come back for one more week. Some parent/child claimed they'd overheard a racist comment from a member, and tied the two events together and went to the...

    Forehand and Backhand

    I think the only argument for BH being 'better' is that you get more touch on a BH throw IMO. Specifically I'm thinking <100 feet, it's easier to vary the pace and spin of a BH than a FH to adapt for delicate lines and stall points. Still, the real answer is, learn every throw in the book as...

    Sound Off - The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (over 1k posts!)

    Good: Cashed at the British Open this weekend, tied 5th, one shot off the final Bad: I opened with a 918 rated 60, so had to shoot 50, 52 to get back in contention Ugly: the double OB 6 I took on the 14th first round. I deuced it both the other rounds.

    Out of Bounds with respect to?

    I disagree, and you won't find a rule. The OB for each hole is independent. Sure, there may be OBs that are universally applied; the boundary of a park for example, but that is not the rule. Take an island hole for example, where only the green is in bounds. Does that mean that the rest of the...

    NO SMOKING!

    http://www.pdga.com/rules/80401-special-conditions The rules state that any special conditions must be announced at the player's meeting. Granted, he might have made life easier for himself if he'd put it on the invite, but then he might have had a worse turnout, so I can't blame him for not...

    ratings update

    As a TD, there is one thing you have to do, and one you can choose to. The thing you have to do is submit the full TD report to the tour manager, with financials etc, and this is used to calculate the official ratings at each update. The thing you can choose to do is upload scores into the...

    Hope it isn't a dumb question

    I straddle this way any time I'm straddling to the right of my mark. I found I was missing right a lot, and had to stagger my stance by 6-9 inches to correct this. To do this, obviously you have to have your left foot 9-12 inches behind your marker to stay legal. Worth noting that technically...
