    Used Disc store near La Mirada?

    I got stranded in LA over the weekend so I'd like to play La Mirada. I don't have any discs with me. Where can I get some old plastic for me and a friend?

    Review by gvan in course Suwanee Creek Disc Golf

    2.00 star(s) Small space, Red level This course was designed in a small park The course plays almost entirely in the woods, it will be well shaded in the summer and has a somewhat secluded feel in parts of the course. The course will be great for red level players, forcing them to learn to throw lines...

    Ways to win with pride and lose with dignity

    There are 2 factors for me. The base level of innate skill and practice/preparation. I can control the latter, but not the former. At every tournament, I play exactly as well as I should, based on my skill and preparation for the event. Sometimes I have prepared enough and sometimes I haven't...

    [Innova] Foxbat

    I got to see Harold throwing a Foxbat last weekend. I asked him what it was because it had great forward fade on a straight line. I'm pretty set in mid-ranges too, but I'll probably try it out.

    New PDGA Website

    I will miss the discussion board. It was lightly populated, but there were a few good threads, and a lot of searchable history as well.

    Can we get some Chicago disc golf?

    Comments like these throughout this thread make it seem like the local disc golfers are so jaded that they are now port of the problem. Sometimes new enthusiasm is what makes the difference. Maybe this new guy happens to talk to someone in the forestry department that hasn't been involved before...

    History: Scott Stokely sets world record for distance

    A couple of months ago, I asked GG about this throw and how it was measured. They used Google Earth to measure from where it was thrown to the street where a kid said he picked it up. That's not the most reliable method I can think of =-) He said he was pretty sure it landed on that street...

    Newnan Ga Course?

    I'd recommend going to discgolfatlanta.com for more regional info. As far as I know, there are no plans in the works. I has to start somewhere though. You can always get some advice and do some groundwork; gathering experienced players and designers as you go.

    Rule question?

    Another hole's basket is a basket, but not the target. It's only the target on its own hole.

    Tour Standards - Am Payout Percentages

    Ask a technical question about PDGA competition requirements, get people saying "Ams should be trophy only." Sweet.
