3.00 star(s) Great Little Short 9 Hole Course Shorter holes are reachable by newer players. Course is centrally located, in downtown Nacogdoches. Most holes have at least one technical element or obstacle, making this a fun course to play. Birdies are there, but not a given. Course is pretty short. Not much...

Yes, start with understable discs. Also, I found mid-range discs the easiest to learn to throw strait.

The best advice I got when really new was to stick to mid-range discs and putters. When starting out, distance drivers would just dump left at the end. The first discs that I got some nice glide out of were mid-ranges.

Thanks, everyone. What is CFR?

I am new to the sport, and have picked up a couple "special" discs (limited run, fundraiser discs, etc. but nothing crazy rare or expensive). The last thing I need is another collection so I intend on eventually throwing them all. Any differing opinions or ideas on the topic of throwing vs...

Lots of good responses here. Thanks. I think my question has been answered in that there is no specific rule about a player's hand crossing any plane (like goaltending in basketball). I will keep placing my disc into the basket, while maintaining balance, and not using the basket as a point of...

When holing out from super close, I see many players placing the disc into the tray. Is there any rule regarding crossing your hand over the plane of the basket? In other words, is it legal to gently place the disc in the basket, or must you release the disc before it enters the basket? (I'm a...

Thanks everyone. I did decide to break out the new one last week to practice with it a bit. It is the same mold and weight, but I see what you mean about beat in practice discs potentially flying a little different than a brand new one.

I'm playing in my first torney next weekend. I've been practicing putting with 4 putters. I have a brand new one I was kind of saving for the tournament so it has that nice fresh feeling in my hand. Is this a bad idea? Should I practice with it a little bit first?

Thanks for all the encouragement, everyone! I pulled the trigger and signed up. Maybe I'll see some of you fine folks at the Piney Woods Open in Tyler, TX in November.

Hell yeah! I'm doing it! Thanks for the encouragement (and the tips). ;-)

I'm in my late thirties and have only been playing for 2 or 3 months. I'm totally hooked and want to play any time I get the chance. Despite my enthusiasm, I'm still pretty bad. On our local course (par 54) I shoot around +12. My putting and upshot game is ok, but longer shots are still really...
