I don't have a picture, but after the city spent $200k+ on renovating the Zilker Park DGC in Austin, they recently reopened the front nine. I played the course the first week it reopened, and people had already been signing the baskets with their aces. The course will probably be trashed again...

Gotcha. Sounds terrible. Do not want.

Can someone explain why the pace of tourney play is so slow to someone who has never played in a tournament (me)? Is it just that people are agonizing over each and every shot? Does it have something to do with how and when you can approach or throw your disc? Personally, I have no desire to...

I figured I'd just ask this question here instead of starting a new thread: Why are understable discs generally preferred for rollers? Is it just that they're easier to turn over into a roll, or is the profile of the disc actually advantageous for rolling somehow once the disc is on the...

I play disc golf and occasionally read these forums... I had never even heard of him before this thread. :\

Awesome, thank you.

Does the Impulse make for a good roller?

It's not that big of a deal, but it's a little annoying. If someone is really just interested in listening to music while they play, they would use earbuds, which offer superior sound with much less hassle. People who play music out of speakers, especially while playing solo, do it because...

This is why I carry both a Champ and a GStar Teebird in my bag. The GStar is dead straight with a nice even finish. The Champ is way more stable and also beats in more slowly. Buy a Champ Teebird.

I have a Tangent, but my beat-up old GL Saint may be just as understable. It used to go straight as an arrow when it was brand new, but as I've powered up over the years and the disc has broken in, its flight has changed dramatically. Now it will reliably turn right, and, if I throw it...

Why do people keep suggesting that Austin is anywhere near DFW? I live in Austin. My brother lived in Fort Worth for years. I have never in my life made that trip in under three hours. Usually it's over 3.5 hours. I-35 is Satan's personal highway, and I hope it gets swallowed up by some...

Wow, had to dig for the Destroyer thread. I just got my pink 172g Star Destroyer in the mail yesterday. I'm excited because it's now by far my fastest disc. Years ago, like many new players, I started out with discs that were way too fast. I think I had a Crush, a Starfire and a Buzzz, along...

I disagree. This particular subject has been beaten to death and then some. So, the discussions often turn antagonistic very quickly because people grow tired of it and want to "get it over with". Also, it's entirely possible that people can be in my situation. I would absolutely return...

When people take the time to return discs, that's very very kind of them. Having said that, how about this can of worms: These people aren't thieves. They're just tremendous jerks. The people who originally lost their discs left them for whoever might come along and claim them, and writing...

My wife knitted these for me. Not necessarily made for disc golf, but they're pretty much perfect in that regard.
