    How many shots will be thrown on disc golf courses in 2014?

    Hmm?? I've been slacking on my lurking lately, anyone care to elaborate on this Innova Boycott??

    florida disc golf

    This is oddly relevant! Just booked a trip to Sanibel Island 4.21-4.25, and we'll be flying into Ft. Myers. Are there any good courses to hit on the way to Sanibel, or within a 30 min to an hour of Sanibel? Any DGCR'ers trying to meet up somewhere down there around then? Thanks, and sorry...

    Gap between disc speeds

    putter (d challenger): 190-210' mid (10yr buzzz): 275-295' fairway (400 f7): 295-315' distance (ESP nuke): up to 330' These are my average "maximum" golf distances when on a relatively wooded course such as Hudson Mills - Original. 80% of my (non-putting) shots are with a mid. I rarely throw...

    New Guy

    Welcome to the site and sport! You definitely struck gold (comedic or otherwise) when you found this trove of knowledge known as DGCR.com! Lots of great tips/videos/instruction available (including video analysis, "In the Bag" type bag-contents breakdowns where users will help you put together...

    Things need to change for the better of disc golf

    Step 1: Get a whole bunch of money. Step 2: Find someone who can make quality video. Step 3: Step 4: Profit. Seriously though, I love disc golf as it is. I'm quite fond of the coverage as it exists, YouTube to me is the best method of Disc Golf coverage consumption. Also, the quality of the...

    Is this how it is -- taunting over found discs?

    I would definitely notify the police, this guy is ridiculous. Not only does this behavior display a complete lack of class and intelligence, but it is also in no way consistent with 99% of the rest of the DG community. I don't know why people take discs without calling numbers, but why in the...

    I have to do a radio interview.

    Very cool, jobwilson. Sounds like you did a bang up job, dude! Good for you.

    I have to do a radio interview.

    Nicely done, good sir! Don't worry too much about the umm, pause fillers and such. Without much public speaking experience, those mini stumbles are almost to be expected, and it probably wasn't as distracting as you may fear it was. I'm glad it went smoothly for you. I'm curious about the...

    On the road... Best DG shops in USA?

    No joking here, folks. The Throw Shop is on another level that few stores can achieve. I'm thinking Dynamic Discs in KS and Disc Nation in TX might have the edge on the Throw Shop, simply because they have such an online presence that I perceive them to be on a higher plane of business than...

    A first for me ...

    Holy.., that would be quite the experience, have fun with that! I like the concept of 'country club'-type amenities being introduced to the DGC, but that is pretty expensive. This quote also made me realize something about regular ol' disc golf rounds, and that is the fact that while...

    New to the game and site......

    This is actually backwards. I'm sure this was an honest mistake, but for someone who is so new to the game, these bits of misinformation can be very detrimental to a player's development. Right-handed Backhand throws will have a natural tendency to 'fade' (or finish their path of flight) to the...

    Former Giants pitcher Brian Wilson plays Disc Golf

    is Brian Wilson a chucker because he carries no bag? or is he discing down and only going putter/mid?? :popcorn:

    How did you start playing?

    My humble beginnings story takes us back to 02-03, when I was but a freshman in HS. As someone kinda hinted at earlier in the thread, the concept of DG was simple; throw a disc towards a basket and more importantly, partake in nefarious imbibery. There were maybe 4-5 of us who would pile into...

    Suggestions......best course in Charlotte?

    If it were my time, hands down R.L. Smith and Hornets Nest (play the Web layout). Renny is insane right from Hole #1. A beautiful course indeed, there are lots of long carries to hit, elevated baskets, the hole with the lookout chair to spot drives from, the hole from the top of the hill by...
