    USDGC coverage

    Are there enough camera crews to make a live feed watchable? If there's only 1 crew (following the main/lead card, I assume) there would need to be a lot of filler between throws. What fills that time? Probably not live play, and I won't be watching a several-hours live feed if most of what I'd...

    Lacey Brugler Suspension

    It's strange the things young athletes do in competitive situations. My son runs track in high school, and I've had the pleasure of watching some great meets. In our area, track and field coaches and parents are collaborative and supportive of each other and the athletes, regardless of school...

    Which type of throw and what type of disc should I use on a sharp dogleg left?

    Looks like a fun shot, with opportunities for the card to cheer and/or groan for every player.

    PDGA ratings are up. How'd you do?

    I just checked in after a long break to see that I have my first-ever rating thanks to our local club's singles league. I'd say my 833 is spot on with how poorly I played, heh.

    'non golfer' course etiquette

    I see this type of attitude plenty, not just in parks or on the course. People seem to take it as a personal insult if you inform them of something they just maybe could have done differently, even to protect themselves or others from harm. If something bad happens, it's got to be the other...

    There can only be one!

    Lat 64. Most of the manufacturers have enough molds to satisfy my humble capabilities and needs, so the main factor for me is the feel of the plastic. Opto just feels right in my hand. Firm like Innova's Champion plastic, but a little less slippy.

    Farragut - GPS Track of All the Courses

    Holy smokes. I was only able to play 54 when I was there (Northstar, Wreckerator, and AWOL, in that order), and by the last few holes on AWOL I was cooked. AWOL is a great course, though. Man, I want to make it back to ID just to play it again.

    Sports Chiropractor Who Sponsors Alex Geisinger

    I used to see a great chiropractor once a month. I wish he hadn't moved out of my area. I never went to see him about curing anything, and he never made claims to me that he could cure anything. Also, he only made adjustments to my spine. To me these visits were general maintenance, not a...

    Things noobs say...

    lol I'm guilty of that one. Depending on the friend I'm playing with, it's either sincere or a dig.

    Can we cut the #growthesport thing already?

    I used to think it meant "Get more people playing." Now I think it means "Get more corporate dollars involved."

    Help with reducing forehand flutter

    I've had that knuckle just outside the rim edge. It feels so strange to have it tucked inside there, but I'm going to try this the next time I take my discs out.

    Would Women Benefit from Smaller Discs?

    Not sure why women are singled out here. It seems the question should be: Would smaller-diameter discs help people (of all ages, shapes, sizes, genders, procreative doodads, etc) with smaller hands? A related question would be: Should the PDGA allow smaller-diameter discs in tournaments? My...

    Shift from Behind; Throw All Shots Better

    Watching my son pole vault this track season reminded me about how poorly I brace. A proper vault relies so much on the energy and angles delivered into the plant, and when it's done right it's pretty amazing. The physics in motion, the changing angles, the transference of weight, all timed just...

    Impersonating a Park Ranger

    Don't pretend to be what you aren't. I'm not sure it's more complicated than that.

    Please take my mini marker survey!

    I started to take the survey, then bailed out because you had no options for $0 on the price-related questions.
