    Post a cool disc golf photo

    This happened... Supported by the chains, right?

    Critters on the course you ran into...

    Good eye, man. Ground nests are very powerful bases for many stinging insects. I hit a nest at Valmont, in Boulder, with a whole can of raid. Scads of dead and dying hornets surrounded their hole. Hornet pile-ups in the hole and in the sky above. The next day, all the poisoned bodies had...

    Is it Worth it to mark up a Disc?

    It is worth it. You might get a call, and the disc might come back to you. If you do not mark up your disc, you will NOT get the call. Even if you see your baby in another cat's bag later on that afternoon it becomes an unsolvable problem that you could have avoided with a little effort...

    Denver Area in June

    Metro Denver Courses to bag Starting from Broomfield, North and West Midway- a multiple-use kinda park with some fairways that run parallel to back yards. Watch out for other park users, and please don't jump fences. Interlocken (Properly East Park, on the Interlocken Business Park campus)-...

    Freak Incidents on the Course.

    Played a glow round at Interlocken one night. Basket 9 is planted next to a utility shed with phone switching equipment and stuff. My buddy planted a steep FH hyzer smack onto the roof of the structure. Like a burning sun, a spotlight flipped on, scanned the tee pad and blinded us as we...

    So, how did you play today?

    I've lost a lot of strength after playing so hard that I couldn't fight off a late-season flu. Today was a good day to get back out: no wind to speak of, no precip, and no cold. My drives are off, but I threw some looooooooonnng putts to save par. One long putt about 65' away from the basket...

    So, how did you play today?

    Oh, woops! Too hard at the beginning of the season. I had great putts on my first 18 at the Junkyard shootout, but came in a mere 3 under. Better than my recent record, but not the -7 I was aiming for. Dubs was OK, but I pooped out about halfway through. I think we were -6, and I am sore...

    So, how did you play today?

    More night magic! Glow Doubles round at New Johnny, my third visit to the short, but charming, re-imagining of one of Metro Denver's oldest courses. All of them at night with lit baskets and lit discs. One fling into the river and a few yanks wide to the left (I'm a severe lefty). My...

    So, how did you play today?

    Stunk up Saturday with a +1 or 2 at Valmont (really? For real? How does that happen?), held even Sunday, and defended a high tag at Village greens. If the weather weren't astoundingly wonderful and all my homies had stayed home it woulda sucked. Wednesday night is our local glow match, and...

    DGCR Aces 2015

    2nd ace in a month! Casual rounds paying off, this time on hole 11, Valmont. LHBH with a gradual left turn, no fade. First disc from the tee during a putter round. Opto Pure once again.

    I hate unsanctioned tournament players....

    I've seen enough bullying with rules. It frequently is accompanied by insults (implied and explicit) for not knowing the rules. I like to think that our weekly unsanctioned pickup round proves that a non sanctioned round can be decent, respectful, cooperative, fun and not so bloody hung up...

    So, how did you play today?

    Now that the snow has melted, and the mud dried out, things are looking up! Casual rounds are back, and so am I! Metal on 18 at Valmont with a LHFH Flick (that's the mold, not a redundancy!). Park job on eleven (299 feet per the sign), CTP at glow last night. Lots of OB, and two trips to the...
