My Disc Golf Memes

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.
