    help me pick a bag

    The Crunch box is nice, and is pretty durable for the money. I would def recommend it. They have even made improvements to the construction since I got mine years ago. A couple of my buddies got them on my rec, and they love em' too.

    Local course controversy

    Not in my backyard I just took my girlfriend to see the eternal flame this weekend, Erie County put up a highway sized sign for the eternal flame trailhead. Those quiet loving hikers won't ever have that there again, we walked past nearly 20 families with loud children who can now find the...

    Review by TheRicker in course E.T. Seton Park

    2.50 star(s) E.T. Seton Park Nice, beginner friendly course with new concrete tee pads installed (? I think all but #9, #10 are installed unless I couldn't find them). Some elevation change, although only small... no epic downhills or uphills. Trees scattered through the fairways provide some challenge...

    FADE Crunch wear and tear?

    box (bag)? I have had mine for 4 summers now and it just started failing this year. The material seems to be wearing thinner, and a foot got lost. The biggest issue is the drink holder is ripping off. Over all I think it was worth the money for the bag and will probably be buying another for...

    Review by TheRicker in course Ellicott Creek DGC

    2.50 star(s) Niagara Region's Newest Beginner Friendly Course, easily accessible from 290. Good flow, easy to follow even though it is brand new. Holes vary in distance from 205-400 ft from the whites. Not much chance to lose plastic unless you screw up and throw into water, which should only happen on a...

    Review by TheRicker in course Como Lake Park

    4.00 star(s) Como Lake Park Lake New, well cared for course with lots of risk-reward opportunities. Pretty open course, but don't throw too far off line because the brush can eat discs. 3 holes play over the creeks separating the islands adding to the excitement of this course. After the first 7 holes you...

    Surviving the 'Chuckers' Stereotype

    I see Chuckers! and I called them that before this thread! Listen, Superberry is maybe off about the 75% but he is right on with his rant. I play all of the courses in WNY and the amount of chuckers varies from course to course. Chestnut Ridge is one of the best courses in the area, but...

    best disc you have ever lost?

    Finally lost a tennis ball colored 169g champ Valkyrie that would disappear in the middle of the fairway and I probably spent a couple hours over two summers looking for it right in the open. I would have given up on it, but it flew so straight so consistently. Finally grip locked it and threw...

    Review by TheRicker in course Beaver Island State Park

    4.00 star(s) Blue Heron Island Course Really clean, well maintained park. The course uses the elevation available well, with some downhill shots, a couple sidehill shots, and one that has you going uphill. There are holes of varying lengths, some which you can park your drive with some finesse, and some...

    Review by TheRicker in course Sawyer Park

    1.00 star(s) Not worth the trouble... Close to Basil so you can get 27 in without much driving around. Muddy, overgrown, hard to find tees and baskets. plays around a playground, with lots of kids running around. I wouldn't bother coming back here unless there was some improvements made to the course...

    Review by TheRicker in course Basil Marella Park

    3.50 star(s) Accuracy Rules Here Concrete tee pads, good mix of shots required. Helpful locals, plenty of parking. Not too much brush for the most part makes finding errant shots easy. Good mix of distances on a totally wooded course. Fun place for a round in the summer. Short walks between holes makes...
