    Other info

    I love disc golf. I've never really cared for any other sport, as far as participation and obsession are concerned. I began as the unfortunate "chucker," spending my rounds partying with buddies with our one or two discs each, showing very little course courtesy...but I evolved into a dedicated (albeit inconsistent, skills-wise) golfer focused on spreading the sport wherever the opportunity arises. My biggest DG achievement to date is proposing, co-designing, and installing an 18-hole course on the LTC campus in Cleveland, WI...Currently rated 3.46, ranked #39 in Wisconsin (out of 152 nine-hole-or-more courses with at least 3 reviews in the state). The small community here has been receptive to disc golf, in fact asking the co-designer of LTC and myself to put in a 9-hole course at the elementary school (DGCR course ID #3482), and I also host an annual Ace Race at LTC (2012 will be our 5th year!) which many local businesses have been supportive of. I hope to work on more course designs in the future, as I think my game has more or less plateaued while my passion has only grown stronger. Teaching my children -- or any beginners -- the game is a rewarding experience, as course courtesy begins with your instructor, and as our sport grows in popularity we will need educated players to keep the momentum moving forward.

    My reviews focus heavily on variety. I don't like to play *essentially* the same shot over and over, and I love unique greens and those tee shots that make you say "wow" and throw multiple shots. I don't like excessive risk, but of course I love to see it used properly and will take that shot only when my confidence level allows.

    Sounds good to me. I think I am done trying to play in the winter. We can figure out a something when the weather at least attempts to cooperate. I don't mind playing in cold as log as I don't have to search for discs under snow.
    Let me know that date you are trying to get down to FBA in GA and I will try to work around that. It's gotta be on a weekend though.
    If you make it tomorrow, I'm a tall guy with blond hair, and I'm guessing Ashleigh will be one of the few girls playing.
    Hey, I saw you're planning on playing in the ace race, I should be there with my travel tag if you want to swap.
    I guess tolling is the wrong term...I meant lurking.

    I don't do forums too often...
    Yea, I'm already missing it. I live in the sierras and we've gotten some pretty deap fluff the last couple of days. Won't be able to play 'till it stops snowing.

    Oho well, I enjoy snow sports, too.

    I do have a problem though, I can't log in with my original password...and can't seem to be able to change it when I do log in with the password that is mailed to me. The page says I might not have permission...?

    Any thoughts? I'll have to check my browser permissions...

    I've been trolling the forums for a while. Think I'll read some more before posting anything.

    I was able to play some disc at Lake Superior a couple of months ago, but the course isn't listed. I think it may be private. It was at the lodge we stayed at there. Pretty sweet...we didn't have reservations, so when we got up in the morning was when we noticed the first basket. Too fun.

    Thanks for the chat.

    Thank you. I'm enjoying playing golf. I just started a couple of months ago. This site is great for finding out about different courses. We have a brand new one in my area. It opened last Sunday.

    Good times.
    just wondering if I can use the nickname you came up with for me . . . I am starting a blog about my disc golf experiences and I liked the name so much I want to use the name for my persona
    Hey man, I am a student at Northland and I'd love to get together and throw sometime (like you said probably in the spring, though I'm not opposed to earlier). We might even be able to set up a small tourney here.
    woah man! sorry man. When I said "you people" I meant anti-nazis. Is it not cool to generalize you people any more?
    Thank you. How do you people find about about the review so quick. I've had like 5 PMs and now two visitor messages about it
    Thanks!

    I've been rotting away at about 330 thumbs up for a long time, I finally started reviewing some courses I've previously played, just to get some votes flowing. Unfortunately because I haven't played them in a while, they're not fresh in my head, so I picked the lower quality courses, and the local haters have pummeled me with thumbs down because I called their turd a turd.

    Perkins specifically - I REALLY think it is junk. Essentially the same type of hole for 18 holes in a row, oh but wait, only 9 baskets AND crappy tees, so you get more turds on top of the pile of flat land, large tree course. Dineen has been funneling in the down votes too, but I know a lot of Milwaukee crew doesn't like me because I always call them out on their secretive and specific ways, not being open to others, and Dineen is just so sub par of a course (walking back up fairways to the next tee on that huge park??) that I couldn't help it.
    I can see by your avatar that you are anti-buddhist. Do you have something against us asian Buddhists or something?
