Turkey Lake is within 15 minutes of Embassy Suites where we are staying at. I believe that I may get in around or two at each course there. Depending on time, I might not get a chance to play in Clearwater but am favoring a chance to play Picnic Island. Thanks for all the advice. I also...

I'm taking my family to Orlando, Florida for a week starting June 2nd. Outside of our visits to Disney, we're also going to Clearwater. I've reviewed several courses both near Orlando and Tampa but outside of reading reviews and judging ratings, I'm curious about local opinion. What are the MUST...

Most important tip is to relax and have fun. When I played my first tournament, I was so nervous the night before that I barely slept. I usually play casual and hardly had any experience throwing with other players. After 3 months of playing, I entered in as Recreational and on a course I've...

We had an official sign posted at the course's main parking entrance next to the trail that leads to the 1st tee. The sign clearly stated the course had "Special Event Use," had the weekend's date posted, and indicated that Dynamic Disc was hosting the Frostbreaker. I'm clearly not upset by what...

Brandon, if you started on 18 in Round 2, you were in front of us. When we got to 18 and looked at #1's tee, we were wondering why your group looked bigger. My first thought was that the group in front of you didn't hear the start yell, but when I saw you tee off and head out, those casuals...

I agree with a lot of the comments and do believe my group handled it in the best way we could. I think the guys who hassled us and the group in front of us were just as most are stating... Jerks. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and feel correct that the casuals are needed to further grow the...

This weekend, I played in the 2015 Frostbreaker tournament out at Shawnee Mission Park DGC. Three times during my rounds, my scorecard group and I encountered casual players trying to get a round in. We politely informed them of the fact that there was a PDGA tournament occurring throughout the...

I have had a blizzard Wraith before, but lost in the woods. I did like that disc as I did find more distance and glide on it. My personal best distance ever was 309 ft throwing downhill on #14 at Shawnee Mission Park. I haven't hit that distance since that day, but it was with the Wraith. Right...

I usually play Shawnee Mission Park on Wednesdays and Fridays, with Saturday optional for venturing to other courses in the KC metro. I like to throw out there in the mornings, as it tends to be quiet and I can take my time to enjoy the game. I haven't really played a lot against other players...

I really appreciate all of the tips and have even considered some of them myself. I'll test out the advice to see what works best, but I'm liking the slow down, walk up tip. The run up feels so awkward to me. No wonder I can't dance when my wife asks! Footwork is not my best hobby. On the...

I have noticed that my accuracy is always dead on when I throw from a stand still. Just wanted to add that observation.

I went out this morning to practice my drives before heading into work. I got to the soccer practice field where I usually practice and started emptying my bag, throwing each one RHBH with a short x-step. The wind was slightly breezy giving me a mild tailwind. On average, my distance was 217.44...

I seriously haven't played a honest round in about a month, but had a free early evening to go out to my home course. I didn't expect much, as I always try to play by tournament rules even when I play casual, but managed a +4. All my drives were thrown at about 60-70% power, but my approach...
