    Indoor Putting - How do you protect your walls?

    Use 1" PVC and 90° elbows to build a square frame about 6' x 6'. Get a canvas painters dropcloth of about 8' x 16' and sew a loop across one long edge. Slide that loop onto your PVC frame, so that the long axis of the dropcloth spans one entire edge of the frame, and most of the adjacent edges...

    Converting an abandoned golf course to a disc course: Do's and don'ts

    1. Recognize that the scale (grading/slopes, width, length) allowable on ball v. disc golf courses are very different. 2. Use aerial photography and topography liberally. Print out large-format maps that you can mark up with interesting features, desirable/undesirable locations for...

    Brodie Smith PDGA #128378

    See, I know that. Strokes aren’t worth anything for ratings purposes when par is 67 and there’s plenty of OB and other danger. Saw a post that posited high 800s/low 900s, verified that it would take some special effort for a rapidly-improving 970 player to get there, and cast my line. If y’all...

    Brodie Smith PDGA #128378

    I'll put up 3 of my tour series discs that he shoots above 925 ("low 900s") each round to all comers. Anyone interested in this action, and only this action, please post below with what you're putting up as your ante. I will answer no further questions about my predictions.

    Rules enforcement from top PDGA pros

    It's under discussion. I initiated said discussion July 16 with the following e-mail (excerpted from larger e-mail): "Enforcement of Rules: I've seen some chatter online about how pros don't enforce rules (a particular lightning rod was Nikko's perceived or actual time violations at The Preserve...

    Rules enforcement from top PDGA pros

    <citation needed> It drives me BATS that blanket statements like this are made regularly by people with some representative capacity for the PDGA about the opinions of top pros, touring pros, premier pros, or whatever appellation is your pleasure. I have never, formally or informally, been...

    Heat Mapping

    Dion Arlyn and I were actually riffing on this on Twitter this morning.

    Rules enforcement from top PDGA pros

    I think at the core of this issue is that there's a culture problem with calling someone on ANYTHING in disc golf. Playing Pro, there's not a whole lot that happens that's worth calling. Someone might argue for a better spot on their OB lie, someone might take too long or have an outburst, but...

    Where is David Wiggins Jr.?

    He's building boats. Maybe even living on a boat, if I remember correctly from when I saw him in 2018.

    unlearning bad habits in form

    The above two responses are great. I will add on that you need to be humble and realistic--film yourself, ask for feedback, and don't try to take shortcuts because they don't exist. You're trying to break something that's learned, and it's impossible to do all of that at once. Instead try to...

    Cross ties as sign posts?

    Free is good, durable is good. Are they treated with a preservative that you wouldn’t want directly contacting soil or hands (say, someone leans on the post or hangs their bag)? Handling is annoying but manageable if you have time and commitment. How do you plan to attach signs? May need a...
