2.50 star(s) Fun. And that’s what matters This course is tight and technical, but there are numerous lanes available for most drives. Righty or lefty, forehand or backhand, you should find a route through the trees. Unlike many other densely wooded courses, the punishment for missing a line is not terminal...

2.50 star(s) Good bones This course is a good combination of wooded fairways and wide open bomber lanes. There are tree tunnels, and narrow gaps to shoot through. The fairways have obstacles, but there is a "fairway". There are no holes where you just chuck and pray. Several holes take advantage of elevation...

3.50 star(s) Well worth the drive Reading about this, I found it hard to believe that a resort dedicated in large part to motorcyclists and driving enthusiasts has such a wonderful disc golf course. Yet, there it is. It is a challenging course with beautiful scenery and relatively well-kept grounds. The...

Saturday, I shot +2 over par, which is my personal best. Sunday, I threw +8 and was face-palming through the entire back 9. I was really down on myself for not making the same lines I'd thrown the previous day. I went back out and replayed a few holes. There's one in particular where I want to...

4.00 star(s) Lucky to live nearby Full disclosure: I am a beginner player and this is my home course. Consider this an addendum to the reviews written by more experienced players. The setting is beautiful. You could spend a whole day hiking, biking, golfing, napping, and learning the history of the Ames...

Similar stuff with skiing. I'm far from an expert on disc golf, but I'll chime in with something I picked up. Similar to what is written above, we tend to throw at the thing our gaze fixes on. If you turn out of your reachback and look at a tree, you will throw at that tree. Position yourself...

This. Many times I have nearly flung myself off the tee pad. Recently - basically, since reading this thread - I've begun working from the follow through backward. The X-step doesn't even come into play. I just side-step onto my plant leg and practice specific things. Get my toe down first...

Thanks again. More good info. I already did the disc-down thing. After my problems with the Beast, I dropped back down to my DX Leopard from the tee and a DX Shark from the fairway. I spent a few months with those on the course and in the field. It helped. Until recently, my workhorse drivers...

Okay, we're getting somewhere. Thanks to all who have contributed. The developing consensus seems to be that discs in the 7-8 speed range would be best. Nothing higher than a speed 9 should go in the bag. Thank you for posting Joe's flight chart. That helps tremendously. Using those ratings...

I think I know what you mean. I have a pair of Roadrunners that I rarely throw because I can get similar distance out of my TL and Archangel. Even though the Roadrunners are exceptionally understable, the heavier of the two rarely flips. When I do throw it, I get a fairly straight line with a...

So, throw a putter until I win the Vibram Open? :D My bad. Allow me to rephrase. While a new player is waiting for the elusive, magical lightbulb of perfect form to light up, how far up the speed chart should that player go? I often read the advice, "Don't move up the speed chart too soon."...

The short version: at what point should a strong-arm thrower top out on the speed scale? I realize the answer may be, “Do whatever works, dude.” I am just curious if there is a generalization or trend to use as a guide. For reference, I’m throwing discs with a speed of 7or 8. My primary driver...

What's the weight on your putter? I had trouble with longish putts until I got something heavier.

I love this thread. This weekend, I will be trying to delay my reachback during field practice. Apparently, I've been taking the advice "work around the disc" the wrong way. That said... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyJncrY7zUE This guy gives me pause. The timing may help me find the proper...

Nope. Don't think so. I began playing when I needed to take my labrador puppy out for exercise. His name is Tucker. Everybody knows the dog. I'm just the man holding his leash.
