You may have already passed through, but Town Lake is in good shape - just mowed and it's pretty dry. Everywhere else is also playable up here...

Hahaha I did something similar. I throw an Echo*Katana as one of my go to drivers. First time I pulled that Blizzard Katana out expecting it to fly similarly, but further, I had a rude awakening.

I just meant that the Daedalus seemed more understable because it was only 159g. I have a 157g Blizzard Katana that's more understable than my 172g G* Daedalus. Seems to me they all get significantly more understable once they get into the 150's. I try and only throw heavier stuff though because...

The Daedalus may have seemed more understable because of the weight. Being a faster disc, you really have to get it out there to get it to turn over if it's max weight or close to it.

Well this won't be hard in DFW, I can drive 30 minutes west and basically be in a new city. For real, it gives you a new respect for water hazards and mandos! They're not to be trifled with! Lol

It took every ounce of my being to do this on Saturday! I've been out to the Friday mini at BB Owen before and had a good time. I'll probably try out a couple of others once I finish school next month.

Ha! If only. This would have saved me a minimum of 8 strokes on Saturday...

Haha yeah, it def punched me in the groin on Saturday. Certainly made me reevaluate my place in the disc golf ranks and provided fuel for improvement. I'm a member of EDDGA and am on all the DFW dg pages, including the mini page that lists the minis going on every day. I just don't want to go...

I wish there were more leagues in my area. This is a GREAT idea to get acclimated to slightly higher stakes rounds than just casual weekend rounds. The only options here are mini's, where I'm basically just paying to play with guys better than me. Which is fine, I don't mind paying my dues, but...

I'm probably not gonna play any rounds this week, just maybe some field work and putting practice. I'll probably take an earlier suggestion and go out for a practice round with new plastic this weekend just to play a full round at low stakes....

Me and a buddy actually went out and walked the course beforehand and tossed a couple of practice shots. I just was really unprepared for tackling the course as a whole. Like, you walk the course and get an idea of what you're in for, but not having thrown discs on each hole, I wasn't sure what...

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I know it's a process and a journey!

I know they're not great ratings, I only mentioned it for perspective on how poorly I threw this weekend. I've thrown 900+ rated rounds before, just not consistently. I already know some of my weak areas, mentality and short game. I miss far too many putts inside the circle. I'd bump my ratings...

I actually just ordered that book and plan on giving it a read very soon... I say 10 years because I played rounds after high school only as an excuse to drink and smoke with my buddies. I didn't even know tournament disc golf existed until about 2 years ago, and hadn't mustered the will to...

I always try that mentality, but the demons start creeping in as soon as I throw something I'm not proud of during a tourney round. I'll definitely pick that book up. Thanks for the input! This is a great suggestion. I might go throw a putter round or something too. I certainly have plenty of...
