    Discraft font

    Thanks :) Now I just have to justify spending $49 to put a $2.30 dye on a $14 disc :o BLM

    Augusta Wraith...what to dye, what to dye...

    Isn't it more likely that if it's a Cubs logo, it won't hit anything? :D Kidding! Kidding. BLM

    Discraft font

    By any chance, has anyone made an effort to find a font that approximates the font in the Discraft logo (with the disc flying over the top)? I grew up in Delaware (same # of letters as Discraft) and was going to do a dye mimicking the discs stamped with just the Discraft logo, but with...

    Superhero Dyes

    I did my second (and third) dyes this weekend - two Captain America shields on, what else? Avengers ;) Got the red right on one and the blue right on one. Sadly, it wasn't the SAME one ... :o BLM

    High Course Rating ABUSE!

    5 is lonely. I have seen essentially this sentiment several times on here, and haven't chipped in my $0.02 ... until now ;) I entirely disagree with this statement. Not because "5" rated courses shouldn't be amazing, or the very upper tier of courses, but because they shouldn't be "perfect" or...

    The Game Opens Up When You Can Hit The Following Distances -

    I think this is actually the first place where you see a real score jump. This is about where I am (Avenger - 340, Stalker - 300, Buzzz - 260, Focus - 220, on course distances) and I've just recently seen a huge decrease in scores. I think it's a combination of (as others have mentioned) the...

    Review by maynes32 in course Hudson Mills Metropark - Original

    4.50 star(s) Home Course - Very well kept up - Good mix of open, wooded and in-between holes. This course is not just a couple of holes in a field, then a couple of holes threading through the eye of a needle. Effort was made to have everything from wide open to tunnel, and all points in between. - Pro tees...

    Playing up a division

    Well ... yes and no. If a player is NOT truly a sandbagger, they'll likely be in the PDGA, and their rating will, indeed, force them to move up. But they aren't the real problem because they aren't truly a sandbagger. However, if they are a REAL sandbagger, they won't be a PDGA member, and will...

    Review by maynes32 in course Earlewood Park

    4.00 star(s) Discing Down South - Excellent use of elevation - Enough trees to be challenging, but not so many that it feels like plinko - Each hole presents multiple routes to choose between. I really like this. Two different styles may play each hole entirely differently. - Relatively difficult to lose...

    Straddle putt and the rules

    Hey, you're preaching to the choir, here ;) Thanks for all the responses. I feel at least relatively confident that my interpretation (#2) is right. The only way I can explain it is that I have several friends (who probably haven't read the actual rule) who believe that it is a line, not an...

    Straddle putt and the rules

    Okay, I've read the rules, and gotten opinions from a couple of friends, but I want to see what you all think. The rule in question is: 803.04 Stance, Subsequent to Teeing Off A. When the disc is released, a player must: (2) have no supporting point contact with the marker disc or any object...

    How to find discs in the snow?

    Finding discs in the snow - Tournament Edition So, there's a series here in SE Michigan this year running up to the Discraft Great Lakes Open (Event 1 info at http://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/DGLO_Championship_Series_1_2010). I have played very little in the snow - or more specifically...

    Theft on 10/29/09

    That's the sad thing - it's a Fade bag, so I have the top velcro'd open all the time. They knew what they were getting.

    Theft on 10/29/09

    Already informed everyone else, good call though. Nothing on Craigslist yet. Did a quick scan on ebay, hard to keep up there, though.
