    Review by michael bacon in course Bohart Ranch X-C Ski Center - Lower

    2.50 star(s) Scenic Mountain course Well maintained scenic course with concrete tee pads and innova baskets. Far too many OB's. OB on hole one on lower course. Plenty of space to design course without OB's even if it does wind through a ski hill. Charge per play even though you have to deal with pycho dog...

    I just "played" my 400th course

    Showed Greg Hosfeld around a course in McMinnville Oregon in mid 90's. He claims to have played more courses than any human. He never putted out. Technically he never played the course but he did a walk through. Did you putt out?

    Jason's Bag -- Suggestions Wanted

    I think your already on right track. Take your Truth out and play a few rounds with just it. Use it as driver, midrange, and putter. Practice trick shots with it. Sleep with it at night. Stick to Discs rated as fairway drivers. Still today I can throw a innova viper farther than any max speed...

    Best Disc Golf Ambassador?

    I have to agree with those who say no one. Its an individual sport and individuals can't be led like sheep. Or can they? People believe the Mississippi river flows into the Gulf of Mexico when its technically the Missouri River. Like Hitler says repeat a lie enough times people will be live...

    specs and rules to move DG from kids game to pro sport

    The game was played like golf from 1965 until Ed Headrick made his rules for the game in his organization. Many of us didn't join because we believe in Democracy and not dictatorships. Trying to take this game back from pinheads who think disc golf courses are a place to get drunk and high on...

    Lefty-friendly courses. HONESTLY.

    Milo McIvor (sp?) in Estacada, OR was left friendly because the original course designers listened to my input on course design. I used to play with an individual that threw right-handed sidearm like me. He won tournaments and others who threw right hand back hand would design courses to...

    specs and rules to move DG from kids game to pro sport

    Randy Michael Signor and others before him think we need smaller baskets to move us into sports world. Currently disc golf is a game and not a sport. I think we could look at baskets like the Gateway Bullseye Basket. I also think baskets should be set at the height of the strike zone in...

    What area produces the best disc golfers?

    area with best folfers Per capita would probably be Montana. I have played on courses from Virginia to California. I liked playing in Oregon the best and played with some of the top pros. I liked California only because I threw an ace and they all gave me a dollar. Of course one of the top...

    How I Would Change the PDGA

    officiating Ball golf has officiating. Sports have to have rules enforced by impartial officials otherwise its an illegal gambling game like pickup basketball. A movement does exist to shutdown disc golf for decorum issues which prevents new course construction. Issues like drug and alcohol...

    How I Would Change the PDGA

    touch and go shots Jump putters-I prefer touch and go shooters - all claim they release the disc when their foot is behind the lie. Most do not. Players should be allowed to pivot on support foot. Not fly through the air. Some people will find loop holes in rules and whenever I call someone...

    How I Would Change the PDGA

    official review I've played in a tournament with voluntary officials. They made ruled on mandatory and out-of-bound shots. We could spend money on officials instead of vanity TV. Talk of Olympics and making the sport legitimate starts with rules and officiating. Thanks for the decorum on...

    How I Would Change the PDGA

    reply to peter I want to know how players feel about official review at tournaments. All professional sports have official review to legitimize the game. I also think a limit should be put on the number of discs on a bag to speed game and to show athleticism. Eliminate what is mistakenly...
