I have a flight out of St. Louis today at 2 pm, so I need to be to the airport at 1. Can anyone pick me up at a downtown hotel, show me around a local course, and get me to the airport by 1? Oh, and I wasn't able to bring any discs so could if I could borrow a putter, a Buzz or Roc and maybe a...

How old am I that I don't recognize a single disc in your bag?

3.50 star(s) Best In Alaska Good tee pads and baskets Great mowing/vegetation trimming Fun layout Easy to wander between holes Too many blind shots Not very many shot options on many holes due to heavy trees/foliage. Forces one shot too much. This is not a 4 1/2 disc course, nor the greatest I've ever...

So I'm visiting home this week (Anchorage) and was surprised to see that there are 13 courses within a half hour of downtown. Not too shabby for a city of 300,000 people. My own city of 1 Million has two courses. Now if only there were a way to kill off all the bugs and undergrowth.

2.50 star(s) Disappointed Hole 18 is fantastic Course owner spends a lot of effort mowing fairways (told me 40 hours each time to mow it) Baskets, tees, and signage is perfect Views are fantastic Bugs aren't too bad (still need bug dope) This course has three major assets (elevation changes, space, and...

2.50 star(s) Fun Course A more difficult and more fun course to play than Hanshew down the street. The high school grounds are way nicer than when I graduated in '93. The ice rink is nice, the soccer field is nice, the football field is now astroturf, the track is something besides asphalt, and there are...

2.00 star(s) Great Short Course! This is a great, short, flat course. You only need one tip to avoid getting lost. It has pretty new signs with accurate lengths and a mix of concrete and dirt tee pads. If you play all concrete as OB (including the hockey rink), it's a little harder too. The harder...

Yea, me either. But a 137 Boss will go 400 feet for me. :)

First, I think you should realize there's probably a point at which you're not going to get any better. Eventually, you'll reach it, as will we all. Disc golf isn't just about improvement. Sometimes it's just fun to go play. The learning curve starts out steep and gradually becomes less so...

Throw your putter, preferably a soft one that doesn't skip much, and land it just inside your gimme range. That way if your gimme range is 20 feet, it can slide or roll up to 40 feet before it's out of range.

I would have been "that guy." Sorry, that wouldn't have flown with me. Late is late. It happens every tournament. I don't see how anyone can ever be late anyway. It takes SOOOO long to do a player's meeting, get everyone to their holes, call 2 minutes, call START, play the first hole etc...

The right grip and the right wrist angle go a long way. Then, just start throwing the disc into the ground. Come up a little each time until it's just barely above the ground. When the disc never goes more than 10 feet off the ground you're getting there.

Whoa whoa whoa WTH? Where are you pulling that out of? http://www.pdga.com/rules Hi-Tech approved discs must (see drawing below): (1) have a circular, saucer-like configuration, wit h a flight plate unbroken by perforations and an underside inner rim depth that is between 5 and 12 p ercent...

IMHO, there's no point in throwing anything faster than a TL or a roadrunner unless you're going to go big. And when I say go big, I'm talking about a 139 Blizzard Boss. I throw a TL 350 and my blizzard discs (boss, katana, destroyer etc) about 400 with much less accuracy. What's the point of...

If you want an exclusive event, make people play their rating and don't let them in without one. Then there'll be a lot of competition in any given division...assuming you can fill the tourney. The last tournament I played there was no one in the intermediate division who actually had an...
