Warrior's Path is a good course too. A course just opened at Sugar Hollow park off exit 7 in Bristol, VA if you're ever in Bristol looking for a good course to play.

This is good to hear. I had the pleasure of playing in a tournament there in 2010 (I think) and Kelley was an amazing host and he seems to enjoy having guests come play his course. I can completely understand not wanting to trim up that course for each twosome that wants stop by and play a...

This is the only thread I have ever followed on this site. I feel an emptiness now... Platebee - Gone but not forgotten.

3.50 star(s) Very nice new course Concrete tee pads, easily followed layout, good mix of elevation changes and hole length, very little under brush in the trees Some poison ivy but it is avoidable, the tee pads seemed a little short, some of the holes were very short and hole 4 was exceptionally bland Hole...

2.00 star(s) Fun little course Good use of mandos to increase difficulty on some holes. Good sign posts with clear distance and hole numbering. Grass and debris was well managed. Difficulty distinguishing which baskets went with which tee pad if you hadn't played before. There are some pieces of glass...

I like this. Keep it simple. True amateurs would play just as hard for t-shirts and discs as they would for money.

For those that said, "play your rating." What would you advise for someone without a rating and doesn't want to pay a PDGA membership because I rarely play PDGA tournaments? I'm a very casual player that rarely plays tournaments but would like to start playing weekly doubles and last time I...

...when you play ball and disc golf and you have spent more money on disc golf than ball golf. ...when you are asked to play in a ball golf tournament and you don't want to because your were planning to play some casual disc golf somewhere else.

I found a Groove once. Threw it into some big bushes one week later and wasn't sorry at all that I didn't put my info on it. I didn't look for it longer than 10 minutes before saying, "Oh darn, I guess it's gone."

That's like saying a drive with a run up isn't really a drive because you use footwork to create momentum. It takes skill to do both. They are just different techniques to achieve different results. Dead hang pull ups are ideal for strength and kipping pull ups are good for achieving a higher...

Did you check your bag for holes ;)

Litter is the top one on my list. Next is not picking up after your dog (I could care less if they are off leash as long as they don't pick up anyone's discs). Third is large groups with bad etiquette. It depends on where and what was vandalized when it comes to graffiti for me. If your...

Started with 4, switched to 3, then back to 4, then to 2, and I think I have finally settled on 3.

If you believe this than you have taken part in classes with bad or inexperienced instructors. Crossfit is a great way to improve your body for anything that requires some athleticism. Kipping is not bad, it is just another kind of pullup unless you try to do weighted kipping pullups. Bad...

That sounds delicious! Although ever since I had catfish jerky, I came to realize I probably like just about any kind of jerky :D
