    Anyone ever hit a kid? Dangerous courses?

    It also is one of the very first courses installed on the East Coast, and is consistently the busiest course in the Washington DC area (though Bluemont can get busy at times as well). It's not a bad course, the terrain is actually pretty cool and even with the relatively short distances, the...

    Who said anything about it being "my park"?

    Anyone ever hit a kid? Dangerous courses?

    I do the same thing. I'm very nice and polite about it. There are some people who, no matter what, won't listen. The guy who was the worst was there with 2 kids and a dog. I did my usual routine, of introducing myself, and was just about to tell them about the disc golf course, when he...

    Anyone ever hit a kid? Dangerous courses?

    First, there are signs designating it as a "Frisbee Golf Course". Second, I don't do this for anyone who's walking through the course, just people with kids. I gently point out that they're in a golf course. I show them the discs, and tell them the danger involved in having their kids there...

    Anyone ever hit a kid? Dangerous courses?

    At Burke Lake, this is a disaster waiting to happen. I try to go out of my way to be nice and point out that walking through the middle of a wooded disc golf course with your toddler in tow is not a safe activity. The vast majority of them are nice and and follow my directions to the closest...

    Virginia Lottery Frisbee Game

    I was hoping to see them do a commercial at the Block House. Considering it's one of the top DG destinations in the State, and Nationally known, I thought they might shoot a commercial there for their whole Virginians love games motif.

    Dumbest thing you've witnessed on the course

    That's who it was. Tin Cum was exactly what I was thinking.

    Dumbest thing you've witnessed on the course

    Playing a tourney at Giles Run, stuck behind some S-L-O-W playing pros, got to watch one of them throw 6 discs into the briars next to the infamous Hole 16. What a melt down.

    "Nose Down"

    I think you're over thinking things... you correctly defined nose down in the thread. It's a really simple concept. It doesn't really matter the type of throw you are making, wether forehand, backhand, hyzer, anhyzer... the leading edge that's most directly pointing to the direction of travel...

    Ticks!

    Tasting like Goat meat is probably the best repellant you have ;)

    FORE! A thread for stories of Accidental Hits and Near Misses

    I was playing at Burke Lake, and Hole 9's tee box is located near the hole for 11. I had overthrown the basket on 11, and had gone to find my disc in the trees there, when I saw a couple of guys teeing off on 9. I respectfully waited for them to tee off, then bent down to pull a disc out for...

    Took my discs to work...

    And here's another one... the funny thing is that I of course had to toss it in the yard, and the disc ended up in a place where I had to get one of my buddies to pull a pallet full of stuff up with a forklift, so I could get to it!

    Took my discs to work...

    Being the one person left in the USA who refuses to Facebook, I couldn't enter, but I did take the chance to bring a disc in and toss it around some in our yard, and even set up a putting challenge in the showroom with a cement mixer!
