    How many US states have you played? What’s your next state to cross off?

    I know! I'm really excited about playing in those states. I can't believe it has taken this long. But living in California has made it tough to get east coast states in. My mom lived in NY, so I was able to knock out the rest of New England when I visited her, and I grew up and went to...

    How many US states have you played? What’s your next state to cross off?

    I have played courses in 42 states. I have visited 49 of the 50 states (excluding Alaska), so I'm kicking myself that I didn't play disc golf when I was there. Especially Hawaii! The states I have remaining are: Alaska Connecticut Delaware Hawaii Maryland Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia...

    Dream 4some vs Nightmare 4some

    My buddies and I have a recurring conversation where we put together the hypothetical "no oxygen left" card. It's made up of the four guys who just never...stop...talking.

    Old Farts Only 40+ (no kids allowed)

    I nearly always play MA50, or MA55 when it's offered (although I think we should get rid of the 5's). I'm rated 877 and my rating has been decreasing the past few years - now the 920-rated 49 and 50-year-olds are doing all of the winning. But I won't play MA3 just to have a chance at winning -...

    PDGA NT: 2019 Beaver State Fling presented by KEEN 07-Jun to 09-Jun-2019

    I will be playing the BSF again this year in the MA50 division after a few years' hiatus. I don't know how competitive my play will be but I know I'll have a great time! After play wraps up on Sunday I'll be hopping into the Prius with my son to have a little Tour de Rizbee 2019 Flashback...

    Ball Golf Course Tolerance

    Exactly. If you haven't played these courses you probably don't understand the difficulty involved in playing them (well). There are a LOT of subtleties of Goat Hill that aren't fully reflected on video coverage of the course. 2-dimensional video has a hard time showing elevation change...

    2019 The Challenge at Goat Hill Park - Driven by Innova May 3-5

    As Discette correctly pointed out, The Challenge has ALWAYS offered an FPO division, but there are not many FPO players in SoCal so the turnout over the years has been low. As the TD, I welcome and will do whatever I possibly can to support a larger FPO field. One possibility is to have FPO...

    What Pro do you want to see/expect to see breakout in 2019?

    One more vote for my son. Since he's been home for the off-season he has flipped a switch - a few hours in the gym each day, a few hours of field work and putting practice, 25-30k steps a day, reading/studying about exceptional performance and mindset, and practice rounds. Looking lean and mean.

    DGPT Drops New Media Outlook for 2019

    I hope that Steve Dodge and his new DGPT video crew are watching the Tiger vs Phil match today and taking notes. This is as close as ball golf coverage gets to disc golf's single card coverage format. One important point to consider: make sure to find quieter blimps.

    DGPT Drops New Media Outlook for 2019

    Yeah, like take the video footage from MPO1 and MPO2 and edit them together with narration. You could model it on what happened real time, with MPO1 clearly playing the holes after MPO2, OR, you could create your own Frankenstein card with some players from each card playing simultaneously...

    DGPT Drops New Media Outlook for 2019

    This past season we had Jomez underwritten to some extent by Innova, CCDG by MVP. Did that cause any problems? I have heard that some sponsors/events were unhappy having competing sponsors' ads featured on coverage of a sponsors titled event. I believe that caused some issues a few years back...

    DGPT Drops New Media Outlook for 2019

    Yes, this. I put a lot of work into creating my big event of the year. I would like to see it get covered on video because I am proud of the event and the course and I would like others to see what a great course we have so they might come play it in the future. It's like the neighborhood...

    DGPT Drops New Media Outlook for 2019

    I definitely see this as a much different scenario than the DGWT launch and to me it looks like DGPT is trying to move towards a more DGWT-ish model, where most if not all content comes out under the DGPT banner (I think we agree on that?). Please correct me if I'm wrong on this: weren't DGWT...

    DG Needs More Personality

    I agree with an earlier post that cited the fast-cut style of the post-production coverage as a reason why we don't see much of the personality of the players in the context of tournament play. You see it a bit more in the live coverage, when there is time for that and a need to fill said...

    Gator Bites Frisbee Golfer In Orlando

    Context: In the past ten years I've had neck fusion surgery (2nd one coming up soon), a rebuilt ACL and part of my colon removed. But so far, both eyes and ears are fine. :-)
