    A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?

    Other info

    My philosophy of Course Ratings: Sorry, I don't have an objective course review strategy. I play 'em and wing it.

    My background is in parks and recreation, so I tend to have a better handle on public courses and how they fit into an overall park design. I'm nit-picky on conflicts with other park uses and play-ability (flow) as opposed to someone who is just evaluating the shots.

    I'm not a very good golfer so things like the challenge level of a top-tier course isn't really my strong suit. I can look at things like variety of shot types, variety of distances, etc., but I'm not really sure for example if a hole is a par 4 or a par 5. Like I said, I just take my perception and wing it.

    As a result, I really don't review courses I consider to be a "3" or over after I play them once. Better courses I like to play 3-4 times in a variety of weather to get a better feel for the design.

    Thanks for the kind words. I do think it's important to work from within for change. I spent several years volunteering in youth sports, on the city's trails committee and then the parks and rec commission before I proposed a disc golf course for the city. By that time I had earned enough respect that people would listen to what I had to say. We installed our first course in February, the next one is being installed in a new park currently being built that will open next summer and then there will be a third after that. I didn't happen overnight, but it is happening.

    What is your location? I thought with your avitar you might be from the Mississippi area. Have you seen the Southern Nationals Doubles Tourney custom discs? It is very similiar to your avatar. Check out this site and look scroll down. tupelodiscgolf.com. Get back to me if you decide to buy a disc or something I might be able to ship them to you cheaper.
