    Does anyone ever return discs?

    I have never had a disc returned. I bet I have lost at least 50 over 3 or 4 states. I have heard of friends getting them back. I did leave my whole bag somewhere once and had it returned by a non-golfer who just wanted to know what the funny plastic things were. I gave him a mid range, a...

    Newton Hill Park • Worcester, MA

    Great article. There is a new nine hole course in worcester that was being set up a couple weeks ago. I wonder if that is the same one. Its amazing how this sport has taken off in the central massachusetts area. Now there is about a dozen decent courses no more than 15-45 min away from...

    North California courses

    Stafford Lake is amazing I played Golden Gate Park, De Laveaga, and stafford lake on a recent trip. I think stafford lake is not talked about enough as a top tier course. It really is one of the best courses out there.

    Review by capedcodder in course Crane Hill DGC

    3.50 star(s) Crane Hill is Great Free is good. Great course with everything. Open field, woods, uphill, downhill, long open shots, short technical shots. This course has the opportunity to become one of the better ones in the area. Well designed. Not broken in yet. Lots of brush from lack of foot...

    Review by capedcodder in course Burgess Park

    3.00 star(s) My home Course This is the only course close by so I play it a few times a week. Like many courses, the more times you play it, the more risk/reward opportunities that can be found. The front nine is easy to navigate and has a couple ace opportunities (never for me) as well as some very...

    Review by capedcodder in course Woodland Valley - Black Bear

    3.00 star(s) Good intermediate course Good course for beginners and players looking for a nice easy round. Well maintained and a very nice pairing to the more challenging grizzly course. Great warm-up round for the other course as well. Not worth it if your looking for a challenge. Some holes are a...

    Review by capedcodder in course Woodland Valley - The Grizzly

    3.50 star(s) One of Maine's BEST This is in referance to the grizzly, not the black bear. Haven't played it in a while but as of last summer I felt shooting par was not too tough for an experienced player. Well maintained course with a great pro shop. Compared to other courses in Maine, the pars were...

    Tips for Improving Your All Around Game.

    I like to take my time and approach putting like Tiger Woods does, patiently. He will be about to hit the putt and then step back for another 10 seconds just to concentrate more. Taking my time has improved my putting to no end. Of course, I can't hit 80% of 50 footers. Not even in my backyard.

    If you were to take a Disc Golf vacation...?

    I just did a Maine trip and hit up 9 courses in 3 days. Things are spread out up there but the drive time is spent on winding mountain roads so its pretty nice. DG is spreading like wildfire up there and the attitudes are so great. Clean courses, great pro shops, and some good players who are...

    Top Ten DG Courses

    How about New England. Maple Hill and Borderland in Mass are amazing courses for both length and technicality, not to mention amazing pieces of property (especially Borderland). Having read about and seen pics of many of the courses already mentioned I realize New England courses may not...

    BEST DISC IN YOUR BAG!! ONLY CAN CHOOSE ONE!!

    I love JLS. I carry three, an old beat up one, a newer one, and a freshy. I don't think it is the most versatile disc, just my old faithful when it comes to field drives or tight wooded holes.

    DGing in Cape Cod, or close to it

    Oh yeah, forgot about that one. I haven't played it either but it is supposed to be nice and Martha's vineyard is only an hour ferry ride and a fun place to visit.

    DGing in Cape Cod, or close to it

    If its not too late July 4th weekend The only course on the cape now is Burgess which is a nice little course and free. Depending on where you are on Cape, Borderland is your best option. It is in Easton, MA and is an amazing course. Its about an hour from Hyannis, and about 40 minutes from...

    Review by capedcodder in course Creative Recreations

    3.00 star(s) Mountainside frolf A couple of tricky holes. Well maintained course with nice guys running it. The climb up the hill is more challenging than the course itself. I didn't see what the pro pars are for this course but the rec pars were too low. I should not shoot a 10 under my first time on a...

    Review by capedcodder in course Bennett Disc Farm

    4.00 star(s) Wow this place has some length As a player who loves to throw far, this was my favorite course in Maine. The long par 5's are great for a long thrower but I can see where it could get intimidating. I think this is the best and most challenging course I played in Maine (out of 8 courses). If...
