    Should a world distance record with wind assistance count?

    Look at World Records for sprints, especially the 100-meter sprint (the world's fastest man/woman) -- how much has their equipment changed over the years -- shoes, clothing, starting blocks. Or, look at the high jump -- the "Fosbury Flop" revolutionized that event. Techniques and technologies...

    Should a world distance record with wind assistance count?

    I agree -- look at freediving (one sport that quite possibly has less exposure than disc golf) -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freediving -- notice that there are multiple discipline categories such as pool/open water, fins/no fins, use of weights, use of guide ropes, etc. While we aren't as...

    Dogs don't belong on disc golf courses

    I had my 1st bad dog experience on a DG course the other week -- my buddy and I were ahead of 2 guys who had a dog (off-leash) that had seemed friendly when we had ben around them before at teedpads and such. Then, while they were looking for a disc in some thick stuff, we got further ahead of...

    To truly go Simpsons with this quote, it would need to be "D'oh ahead - make my day."

    Where are these scary courses you all play at?

    That kind of surprises me about that course, being as it's somewhat remote from any urban centers -- not saying that it can't happen anywhere, but you don't exactly have the steadiest stream of traffic through the park.

    PDGA Discipline

    Also notice that the letter mentions that he was not aware children were present. For a lot of people, especially in our current times, the presence of children can totally change how an action such as his was received. I wonder if it would have been a different response if children were not...

    Shoes, boots or crocks? did i really just say crocks?

    Merrell Moab Mids with GoreTex -- waterproof, excellent support around the ankle, sturdy but not overly heavy, and will take a beating and a half. My only regret is that I only found out about these shoes this past spring.

    Disc golf video game

    Maybe with the new systems Microsoft and Sony are working on for motion-control of games, we will see something across all 3 platforms -- could be a couple of years out, though.

    Ace signage idea

    Not sure -- I haven't had a chance to get down there and play since those signs were put on. I'm thinking, though, that Sharpie or ballpoint on vinyl would last in the rain, unless it's a good old monsoon. I'm also not sure on how often they are updated, but I'm betting some of the guys in the...

    Ace signage idea

    One of the courses near me, Lost Indian Spring (Arkabutla Lake in North MS) has placed signs on the back of the number plate for you to record ace info (name, date, witnesses, etc.) -- from the course photo gallery: Basket Ace Info Photo. After a while, the info will be transferred to the main...

    Do aces count if they aren't your first throw?

    Here's another thought on the bowling example -- on my first try on the frame, I gutter-ball and get nothing. So, I step up for my second try, and knock down all the pins. I did the same thing as what is called a strike, but because it did not happen on the 1st ball, it is called a spare...

    My first dye, looks like crap

    "Dookie" would be a reference to Green Day, and the cover of said album, whihc featured a lot of, well, dookie. "Doodie" would be a reference to "Caddyshack" and the 1st word that is screamed as the candy bar is seen floating in the pool. So, I guess both are correct. On another note, we...
