I believe the first object course I played was likely at a summer camp (LuWiSoMo?) in the 80s. The first basket course was Lime Kiln Park in Grafton, WI, sometime in the mid 90s. The first course I played with actual golf discs was Elver Park in Madison. I had played a couple of rounds with...

Best advice I ever got for preventing / mitigating altitude sickness is to greatly increase your water intake starting about a week in advance. If you're not getting up to piss a couple of times in the middle of the night (or more for those of us who usually have to anyway), then you're not...

Anyone notice his most prominent sponsor in that pic? I wonder if there was another business, I don't know, maybe a couple of miles away, that could hook him up with some discs.

A few years ago, I was telling people I longed for a Rec Masters division. It just doesn't sound as cool if I now have to long for an MA40-3 (or MA3-40) division.

For an otherwise "normal" tournament where you are trying for the best score, on a course with dual baskets per hole (or add temp baskets to accomplish the same thing), let players finish in either basket. They don't have to choose ahead of time, and can switch on any shot. You park the...

Pat Blake has 10 in Wisconsin including a couple of co-designs. Gems at Wilderness and Zobel, plus a very nice 9 with dual tees and two permanent baskets on 8 of 9 holes (9th hole on an island green) in Evansville. He has more courses in the works that will likely kick up the average rating.

Wilderness in Montello, WI has been mentioned a couple of times, but without info about hookups. They have some areas with full hookups and some with electric & water but not sewer. The seasonal rental sites are closest to the course, but there are daily areas within 1000'. The course is one...

As of a couple of years ago, I believe the City of Madison disc golf program brought in $80-90K per year from permits ($5/day or $40/year). That's for two 18-hole courses open roughly May-November, and one 18-hole winter course they put it when they close the others in late fall. As for Dane...

Ones in Wisconsin that may be a relatively easy walk: Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva has a disc golf course and an airport on-site. Collipp-Worden Park in Portage. Half-mile or so walk along small city streets from the small municipal airport terminal. 18 holes at the public schools...

Ugh. I played that course on my way back from Des Moines one time. It was a beautiful park and a fun course. Hopefully the repairman bench and those cool old structures weren't damaged.

Anyone who backed the project play theirs yet? I was one of those who were sent two by mistake, and decided to give them $20 for the second one, which I'll gift or donate to a raffle. I've opened one and looked through everything, but haven't actually played it yet. Just curious what people...

Ability for sponsors to register first at Ledgestone started at least a few years ago.

My memories of that course would have been even sweeter if one of my drives had about two inches more height at the end. I think it was #12, where I hit solid on the left edge of the cage with my tee shot as it was fading back hard to the right. It got Bill's attention, as he was down the hill...
