    Disc golf box

    I've bought a couple of the Discraft putter/mids misprint 10 packs for the summer camp I work at. It was a good way to get a bunch of discs that we can use when we take kids out out to one of the nearby courses. I never actually threw any of them myself though.

    [Question] Does your WalMart carry discs?

    The one in Rhinelander had a decent selection last summer. I picked up a Pro Dart because of the number of trees I was hitting with my DX Dart.

    Putter round disc selection

    The course I play the most often during the summer is short enough that I can get by with just a putter for most of it. I use a DX or Pro Dart.

    [Putters] Glidey Putters...?

    I'm going to 5th (or is it 6th?) the Dart. I've been using the same one for putting and approaches (and drives on short courses) under about 225'. I have a stack of them that I practice putt with, and it's the only disc I have an ace with (hopefully so far). I like them in DX, but picked up a...

    So, how did you play today? Part II

    I work at a summer camp in Eagle River and play Sugar Camp 2-3 times a week while I'm there (June through mid July). We usually play 2 or 3 rounds each time. It's a fun short course for someone like me that can't throw very far!

    Met a Pro Today

    I saw Paul Ulibarri at a course a few months ago. Someone from his group had left a disc on the hole I was on. I tossed it back to him and it was probably my most accurate throw of the day. He dropped it and his group started ribbing him about "That's why you throw them instead of catching...

    From Craigslist

    I grew up near there. It's not unusual for disc golf to be called folf around those parts. We use to set up a target folf course on some of our property.

    How far is your max distance. what disc do you use for max

    I had the same "problem" at that age. The metabolism really seemed to catch up with me at about 25. Now, at 36, I have to try pretty hard to get below 175 or above 180. I either need to hit the weights & buffet, or start running more than 60 miles per month. I'm ok with not doing either and...

    How Many Courses Within 100 Miles of Your Zip Code?

    32 from west Phoenix. Not a lot of courses, but the weather is ideal this time of year.

    Tips for NOT Overheating, feeling like Poo?

    Next summer will be easier on you. I grew up in the northwest and moved down here to the west valley about 10 years ago. The first summer was hell. Your body will adjust to the heat, but it takes awhile. It also goes the other way and you'll be grabbing a jacket when it gets down around 60 in a...

    How Long Until DG Courses get Street Viewed?

    http://www.google.com/maps/about/contribute/photosphere/ You can create them with the iOS or Android app, or even a dslr and some software, but it's time consuming. To make it a street view instead of just a photo sphere, it's suggested that you create them 3' apart. It would definitely be a...

    Central Coast Disc Golf - CCDG vids

    First I want to say thank you for filming and posting your videos. A lot of people don't realize how much time the editing process takes. I'm sure you've probably answered this before, but I'm always interested in the process and equipment used (both hardware and software). I work in...

    Kid event advice

    One of the stations could be upshots, or just a short 100'-150' long hole so they could drive and putt. Working in a school and at a sports camp for the last 16 summers, I agree that small groups and keeping as many active at once will go a long way to keeping them interested. Aim for having...
