I don't know if that was just venting one's bad feelings or ignorance, but... Disc golf on YLE reached 5 % of the population which is about the same share that ER, NYPD Blue, Married With Children, and Dynasty reached in the US. Meanwhile the video for 2014 USDGC final back 9 has been seen...

http://www.opendiscgolf.com/2015/07/18/moving-day-summary-the-americans-climb-up-the-leaderboard/ Before the finals I would like to highlight some junior success. As you can read from the article linked here, women's 5th and 6th place are held by two Finns, 16 and 15 years of age respectively...

What if I told you that disc golf has been on national TV very recently? The Finnish National Broadcasting Company (YLE, the "Finnish BBC") has shown the 2013 European Open and the 2014 European Masters live on national TV and on the Internet (also shown by SVT, the "Swedish BBC"). The net...

It's not only that quite a few disc golfers are cheap (which is a fact), it's also about the different costs incurred by ball golf and disc golf. On the one hand we have beautiful and well-equipped golf courses who need to work at nearly 100 % capacity at prime time to stay alive. Every player...

I am subscribed to close to 30 Youtube channels at the moment, so I suppose my feed will catch most of the tournament videos released. But I wonder why it has to be this way? If there was one channel, say "PDGA TV", which showed all tournament videos (with decent quality), would that not help...

Little by little I've been changing from a mixed bag (Innova/Discmania/Discraft/Latitude) to almost completely Prodigy. What I haven't been able to replace yet is Star Beast and Valkyrie. I'm looking forward to Prodigy making more H-series discs available with differente plastics (just got my...

How could anyone not convert between measures of length? 390 feet is naturally 3900 inches or 39 yards or 3,9 miles, right?

Please don't paint them red. Yours truly, 10 percent of the male population who are red-green colour deficient

As we all know, disc golf ratings are determined on how well we play relative to other players and their past performance. Assume, for example, that you have ten equally good players on desert island playing against each other and you assign them all an initial rating of 1000. Assume then that...

Everyone realizes, of course, that if there were no financial rewards in amateur divisions this problem wouldn't exist.

Maybe they do and maybe they don't :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7PETX-0L9g&t=18 I can't go into details. (Or did I already?) But thanks for your help!

Now that I checked, I couldn't see any restrictions wrt to handicap mentioned on their web site. But anyway, they'll tell me if they are not interested :) What I wonder is if the flow of the game allows adding a disc golf course to regular (avg. par 4) golf courses.

I don't know. Is that relevant?

Nurmijärvi Golf Club, in Finland, set up a disc golf course on their Executive (par 3) course and they have had good experience. I wonder, though, what kind of experience people have about DG courses on regular golf courses (par 3-5, 500-1500 ft/150-500 metres). How does it work, or does it...

2.00 star(s) Bad Fredeburg is like a box of chocolates Beautiful scenery Good baskets Tees don't have maps or info No signs to show the way to the next tee It is very difficult to write the pros and cons of the course. This course is not like that, it's different. Very different. Let me start by saying...
