    Review by hooboy in course The Sammy

    2.50 star(s) New 9 Holer Near Athens It's a new course with good signage, new (gravel) tee pads, and brand new disc catcher baskets. Mix of open (1-3) and wooded holes. Fairly easy to navigate once you find the first tee. I had to ask a worker where it was - left front of park near the library. Open...

    Your best shot/throw of 2014?!

    15th Hole at East Roswell Park, north of Atlanta. Uphill blind shot, then downhill fade left to the basket. I knew it was on line when it left my hand. Put my hand to my ear, and lo and behold heard the chains. Raced over the hill and there it was sitting in the basket. Second ace for me on...

    Review by hooboy in course Herman C. Michael Park

    3.00 star(s) Short and Fun Short and tight, premium on accuracy. Still need to turn the disc both ways here. Two sets of tees, red tees VERY short, good for kids / beginners. Course is well marked. Nice variety of wooded vs. open holes. "Ego builder" for an intermediate, because its short, you can...

    Review by hooboy in course Cross Hollow DGC

    2.50 star(s) Nice, Quick Round Course is well marked and is self contained on a city block of moderately wooded land. Brand new looking monkey catcher baskets. Need to turn the disc both ways here, with multiple lines on most holes. There are also some low canopy shots. Yes the course is short, but I've...

    Review by hooboy in course Rolling Hills DGC

    2.00 star(s) Very hilly terrain provides a challenge and workout. Two sets of tees, tees easy to find. The terrain mainly provides the challenge here, not the trees. Course designer cares about the sport, wants to make course better. He introduced himself as we left the course. This course is not great...

    Back From Torn Rotator Cuff

    Looking for advice from anyone who has come back from a hurt throwing shoulder. I'm just now back to playing near full strength. Really trying to concentrate and "straight back and straight through", slow and smooth. It's frustrating as I'm only about 80 %, and can't really rip it like before...

    Review by hooboy in course East Roswell Park

    4.00 star(s) One of the Best in Atlanta Area Set apart from the rest of the park. Very wooded, provides shade from sun or rain. Variety of lengths with lots of terrain changes. Three sets of tees. Red is still plenty challenging for an intermediate. We've just moved back to the blues, forget black tees...

    Review by hooboy in course Indian Creek Park DGC

    4.00 star(s) Cool New Course - Up and Down Brand new course. Brand new baskets, brand new cement tee pads... two pads on eight holes. Easy to get to...parking right by the course which starts at the top of a big canyon. Scorecards, with map on back available by parking lot. I wish I'd taken one for the...

    Review by hooboy in course The Monty @ Deer Ridge

    3.50 star(s) Cool Homegrown Course Biggest pro is the fact that this course is privately maintained by one or two people. An unbelieveable amount of work has been done here. Good mix of wooded (1-13) and open holes (14-18). I really liked the first 13 wooded holes. You are isolated from the rest of the...

    Private course at home

    The Monty "The Monty" at Deer Ridge Park, near Monticello, GA, is not on private land, but its a course designed, installed and maintained by basically one person. I love playing there as it's never crowded, and is a great example of what one or two people can do with a little imagination...

    Review by hooboy in course Crockett Park

    4.00 star(s) Nice - Well Marked Course Challenging overall layout, with some of the best signage I've seen anywhere. Two sets of tees, with distance / map signs at each tee. Multiple basket locations avaiable on most holes with a good marking system using bolts in "A,B C" holes on signage poles. Plenty of...

    Review by hooboy in course Lava Creek DGC

    3.00 star(s) Cool Course Near Chico Lots of elevation changes on a course that goes "out and back" through a ravine that also houses a 9 hole ball golf course (also a con). The baskets here look brand new. They have done more than just plop down baskets amidst the golf course. Some baskets were perched...

    What is Your Favorite Disc of All Time

    Champion Valkyrie 150 G. First started three-pack I ever bought. Made my only ace ever, and two long eagles with it. Lost it ("stolen") by some barneys. Just got another three-pack, throwing the new 150 G Valkyrie even farther. I'm not a big arm so I like the lighter weights.

    Review by hooboy in course Myrtle Ridge

    2.50 star(s) Brand New Course Brand new course, so kudos to the course builders / designers for their effort on another new course for our sport. Decent mix of open holes (1-3), and wooded holes (4-15). Its obvious that a lot of work has been done to clear out the wooded holes in terms of removing trees...

    Hey Dannyboy, Thanks for your note. Hopefully my review was fair. I certainly appreciate all the hard work involved in setting up a new course. I played on Feb. 7, Super Bowl Sunday. I know you are limited by the land, but poor drainage was the biggest issue when I played. I'm a little...
