Tupelo MS, around 35k population. Eight courses within 10 miles, five additional courses within 20 miles and a grand total of 20 courses within 50 miles of the center of Tupelo. All but four courses are 18 or more holes, Veterans Park has two courses on site as well as Tombigbee State Park...

I am now well into PT and walking really well on the treadmill. Still using a cane but walk with a slight limp without. Walked out back behind the house this past weekend and threw some upshots from about 120 feet with my putters and then putted for about 45 minutes. Hoping to be able to try...

My advice to any one just starting regardless of age would be to practice, practice, practice with putters and mids. Leave high speed drivers alone and if you just have to have a driver start with a stingray, leopard, xl, archangel, nearly any fairway driver. I believe you build your throws...

I am now 55 and never threw a frisbee or disc of any kind before trying this game after turning 50. Played my first tournament about 15-18 months later and played AM against the younger guys, (even finished 2nd to Cam Colglazier by four strokes in 2010, he was a relative newb then). Even now I...

If anyone is familiar with me knows that I am recovering from a complete left hip replacement. Hoping to return to this game in the preceding months and I am doing well in my PT, but still using a cane for a slight limp. Now in the past I have abstained from using folding stools, was just as...

Innova Discarrier , use for the same reason. Five putters, Five Mids, 10-12 Drivers. Three compartments, two drink holders. Dual straps and it rides pretty well on my back. if not your cup of tea, try some of the Fishing tackle bags. They double well as a disc golf bag.

Went back to Doc today and he says I am healing well and likes the progress I have made. I asked about his thoughts on returning to disc golf and was surprised to to learn he knew of it. He nixed the X-step right away and said I will have to modify it. A FH flick is not the answer in my case as...

I see no upside to limiting yourself to one brand, no way one brand makes all of the "best" in each slot in a person's bag. I have been playing for 5 years now and I went through the phase the first two years of trying any and every mold by any mfg. I settled on my basic bag through trial and...

I have played with guys that have their bag crammed with every disc imaginable. They carry 30-35 discs and likely 25 different molds. Besides the obvious extra weight and general bulkiness I see that they really never "learn" the mold. I realized early on that it is crazy to go out and buy every...

Thanks everyone, keep your comments coming. I also have no flick shot, puts a lot of stress on my shoulder and elbow. Played baseball and softball til I was 40 years old and got a ton of mileage on my throwing arm. One reason I loved the BH was it seemed to put no pressure on my arm at all. I...

I never threw a frisbee or golf disc til I turned 50, now 5 years later I love this game and would say that for my age and lack of previous experience I have excelled. The biggest hold back as far as my game has been the constant pain in my left knee for years. While not so bad when actually...

A few years ago I posted about my efforts to build a private course using homemade baskets, and received many nice comments on my endeavor. Sadly I have come to realize that I can no longer try and keep up with the work needed and/or put in an additional nine hole. I had hoped to build up some...

Rocs, Buzzzes, Wasps, Vector, Axis, Cros, etc for stable to overstable. Aurora MS, Tangent, Core, etc for stable Super straight. Fuse, Stratus, Stingray, and beaten in models of stable discs for turnovers.

I throw Preds also and find that DGA's Tsunamis fly like a seasoned Pred. Right now I carry one Pred and three Tsunamis in various stage of wear.

3.50 star(s) Tough, can be tougher A new course in Tupelo, which is quickly becoming a DG destination. Good baskets, nice park, tees are mostly in good shape some are concrete, some not. Signs are pretty good also, some benches are available but not every hole. A longer more open course that will suit the...
