I can identify and attest to the sorrow. Some years back, I suffered a scalding burn on my left foot that made everything, even depressing the clutch pedal, painfully excruciating. I remember after many weeks of little healing, lying in bed one night and weeping over the prospect of never...

Probably going to be a bit redundant here, as I agree with much of what previous posters have written. Water hazard holes, even if they constitute a grand majority of holes on a layout, are generally a good thing, if designed well with a couple of basic principles in mind. First and perhaps...

Me: Yaaaah! ACE!!! Also me, on the next hole: Crap! Double bogey!

Overall, Okay At The Meadows, beat course par by 1, sinking a testy birdie putt on 18 to take the final four skins to win that 10 to 8 to 0, though losing the medal score -4 to -2 to -1. Started off clunking a couple of birdie putts off of the baskets, which I did a couple more times through...

0.00 star(s) It's Spelled Correctly. It IS Junk! It attempts to be a family friendly, fun little, mostly wide open recreational course, which I would normally rave about. All of the things aforementioned.... crossing/ conflictual fairways, missing tee signs, baskets and whole holes. Though the course's...

Back in the olden days, right after we finished Wellspring, to accompany Cedarock, we had our own gate, driveway and parking lot for the two courses, with Cedarock beginning on current #9 and Wellspring starting on current #15 (the old score card box metal post is still there). We used the big...

This is a difficult, if not outright impossible question to answer definitively. If disc golf is still in a growth pattern, that may be attributed to such considerations as low participatory costs, especially in comparison to ball golf, as well as other sports; low installation and maintenance...

First, good luck and fortune in your interviews, Elliott! Secondly, you've got some great courses listed there. You're right that many NC courses are heavily wooded and trickily laid out. In the Triad area, I'd definitely recommend Johnson Street and The Patriot Patriot is mostly wide open...

I probably shouldn't participate in this, since I'm so geographically limited and so partial to more open courses...in alphabetical order: Cedarock in Burlington, especially in the Red/Blue layout Frank Liske Park in Concord Johnson Street in High Point The Patriot in Kernersville Rolling Pines...

"Follow through"...And if that, or any of the other suggestions don't work, "Eh, it's just a frisbee...and it's free."

You've a great idea here, Jeff. As I almost always recommend in any thread like this, heed whatever David Saul offers. I would suggest that in approaching the church powers who be, inform them of what other churches have done with disc golf, like Bethel in Winston-Salem and Pleasant Grove in...

I know that it's redundant to just agree with David and Biscoe, but they are correct. A designer has to take what the land gives him or her. The two nine hole loops concept is optimum and should always be considered in laying out a new course. We were able to implement it to a decent degree...

And I forgot the most obvious, Rotary in Frank Lisk Park in Concord.

In Burlington, Springwood and Cedarock, except for down to #6 tee. In Greensboro, Guilford Meadows, except for Holes 1 and 2. In Winston-Salem, Horizons, though its length doesn't really justify it.

Of course, the primary positive about tone pole/object targets versus baskets is the tremendous cost savings. Whether you use commercially manufactured or homemade tone poles, painted wooden posts or PVC pipe attached to metal rods, like the original targets at Cedarock and Wellspring, you will...
