    Promoting Disc Golf

    I have been watching the Baysinger Disc Golf Channel for a while and really enjoy them. I first saw them when I watched their video on the Claytons in Alcoa. Since I live near Chattanooga, I have played many of the courses in East Tennessee so it's fun to watch them play courses I am familiar...

    Stance Quesrion: No Nearer to the Basket

    So I am pretty clear about the point of support directly behind your lie and have no problem with that. However, what about your other foot? It says that you can't be nearer to the basket. I understand that I can't put my lie foot behind the disc or mini and the other foot in front of it. But...

    Which found disc surprised you and went in your bag?

    So about three months ago, I found a Champion Daedelus (without name or number) at my local course. I threw it a little at first but wasn't really impressed. Three months later; it has become a permanent fixture in my bag and one of my most consistent discs. So which disc that you have found...

    Review by rowdyray in course The Claytons

    5.00 star(s) An Amazing Place to Play -Incredible artificial turf tee pads. Played right after a big storm and never slipped one time. I didn't think I would like them but now I'm a believer. Tee pads are also surrounded by mulch and look very pleasant and add to the overall aesthetic of he course. -Dual...

    A Short Love Affair with the Roc

    We did indeed drive the Dragon's Tail on the way in. An interesting drive to say the least.

    A Short Love Affair with the Roc

    Two weekends ago, I picked up a Pro Roc. Even though I have been playing for around a year and a half, this is the first Roc that I have ever owned. Early on, I bought a Buzz and never felt the need to grab a Roc too. However, upon the purchase of the new disc, it quickly became a favorite...

    6.20.12 Heritage Point in Dalton GA--hole 2

    I live near this course and have played it several times. I usually throw an easy Pro Leopard. Though the distance is relatively short, the elevation is nearly straight up and makes it hard to get the disc high enough to get close without getting in the canopy. I try to throw more disc than...

    DGCR ACES 2012!!!

    First Ace! # 7 at Heritage Point in Dalton, Ga. Only 169 feet but super sharp left turn with completely blind tee shot. I didn't see it but heard the chains. Only witness was my 7 year old son. He was jumping around when he heard the chains but I wasn't celebrating until I got to the basket.

    Putting: At what distance should one realistically expect to make it?

    I recently acquired a practice basket for my back yard. As I practice from various lengths and positions, I find myself asking the question, "At what distance should I exepct to make putts on a regular basis?" I'm not a pro, but rather a very average player who has been playing a little less...

    Clarification on Flip/Turn Terminology

    I have now been playing disc golf for around seven months and have improved my game a great deal. However, I am still confused about some disc golf terminology. Could someone please explain what each of these terms or phrases means in simple terms? -Flip a disc -a flippy disc -Turn a disc...

    Back Saver Straps?

    I've been looking at getting a new DG bag and possibly some of the back saver straps. It seems to be me like the putting on and taking off of the back saver straps would be more hassle than its worth. If you play mostly uncrowded courses at a fairly quick pace, would those straps be worth the...
