I started at 57 and I'm 60 now. I'm playing in a two day tournament this weekend in the mountains, 28 holes each day. Ibuprofen be my friend. I usually play two casual rounds a week, sometime sneaking a third. A month ago my wife and I did a disc golf vacation here in Colorado where we played...

Lake Dillon definitely has the best views. Lot's of up and downs with thick undergrowth to hide your disks. Peak One is a mix of wooded and open, fairly clear of undergrowth. Leadville is wooded with visible lines, no real undergrowth, mostly shorter holes. Not a lot of elevation changes...

Have you seen gas prices? I've been working 12 hour days in my basement office for the last 2.5 years. Anytime away from the work PC screen is quality time.

Today completes my first real two week vacation in decades. Stay out of semiconductor supply chain management if you want time off. Any, here's the total for my wife and I over the last 16 days: 14 courses, 8 which were new to us and 8 over 8k feet above sea level. 16 total rounds 294 holes...

I'm an hour north of you guys and because I play mountain courses and Front Range courses I wanted the flexibility to switch from cart to bag quickly. I had the AT and I also have a Grip EQ bag, and it was annoying switching discs back and forth. I have the EZ and couldn't be happier.

My wife and I were playing a course with some frozen ponds. One hold had a throw over the "water". My wife's drive didn't make it all the way across but slid into the opposite bank, where it was embedded about 1/2" into the bank. Give that the disc wasn't completely surrounded by water, I...

Compass

It's all I wear, in various weights. I must have 16 different pair.

Wright Life in Fort Collins CO has some. We tend to order at least five discs at a time from Lat64 so the shipping is worth it.

My whole bag is pretty much 150 class, but I'm old and a noodle arm.

I have a 60 for 60 casual tournament set up this weekend to celebrate turning 60. We're going to do twice around on three short courses, two 9s and a 12. Should be fun.

A lot of times my wife and I don't keep score at all, just counting the birdies. We seem to have enough fun. Except at Taylor Mountain. That wasn't any fun at all.

How do you recover successful putts?

Is there a name for a hole where the area immediately surrounding the basket is OB, necessitating making a long putt and where parking the approach would be OB?
