1.50 star(s) Pre-cut diamond A brand new course that needs lots of work and workers. Nine well laid out and well marked holes. Fairways well defined. Metal fence posts instead of baskets to facilitate fine tuning the course. On every hole, several orange flags are near the pin and viewable from the...

2.00 star(s) Needs some lovers Good concrete tees. Some holes well groomed. Lots of ace runs. Hole maps on each tee. A few tees had a course map, too. Creative layout around buildings. The twelve holes we played were fine and fun. Holes 6, 8, first half of 9, 11, 12, and 13 unplayable due to lack of...

3.00 star(s) Woodsy Challenge First hole is the easiest; they get more difficult slowly. Previous review is on target. Mohonk website lists Disc Golf as open to day use folks (contrary to first review). Now they have added 9 more holes, most longer than any on the front 9. Gravel tee boxes on every hole...

2.50 star(s) Around the Park Tees are sometimes on pavement, other times well built natural tees. Tee Signs for every hole had par, distance, and a good map. Clever path in one big circle around the park. Holes 2, 3, 6 and 7 are woodsy. Holes 1, 4, 5, 8 and 9 are open fields. Good placement of baskets...

I know over 30 ways to throw a disc (including right hand, left hand, right foot, left foot). Most grips can be thrown forward or backward, upside down, or right side up. I find that in disc golf you only need two: one with clockwise spin and one with counterclockwise spin. Here's some more...

So you are all set to learn to throw a LHBH. IMO every disc golfer needs to know at least one throw that spins the disc clockwise and one that spins it counterclockwise. This doubles the flight paths available. Try it you'll like it. And obviously, I throw both handed. One does not need...

SkaBob, thanks for your reply, but no one can throw a RHBH with CCW spin. You can throw RHBH with a flight path that anhyzers, and falls away from the spin. For obstacles beyond 6 feet, you can hyzer around one way or anhyzer around the other. I think you need two throws, one CW & one CCW, in...

Ever since as a kid when I learned that other people are left handed, I've taught myself to use both hands for just about everything. In ball golf I carry 2 lefty clubs, in addition to 12 righties. Using both hands is huge in Ultimate, which I played for decades. In disc golf it's all about...

That's the best you can do with my post? Give the dishonest more excuses? HONEST UP Disc Golfers! Learn the rules, play by the rules, help others know the rules. Granted playing by the rules is a lot slower then playing casually, so there is a proper time for strict rule enforcement...

During casual play, I use bar coasters instead of minis. Keeps me focused on learning tournament behavior and losing a biodegradable coaster is better than leaving a plastic mini behind. It took me awhile to break the "go search for my disc immediately" instead of the proper tournament pace of...

That is another way to look at it. During Standard Time The Sun is overhead at Noon and rises and sets "equi-temporaly" to noon: If Sunrise is at 8AM sunset is at 4PM. Yet we stick with 9 to 5 as the standard business hours. Whatever it's almost as small a peeve of mine as using pro-nouns on...

I have a crunch box and it holds 12 discs comfortably, I have 13 in there for todays practice including 6 thick discs, so 14 would be a squeeze. It can hold 2 water bottles.

I always detested DST. Overly self important "man" changing things to fit his whims instead of changing himself to match the real world. But now that I play Disc Golf I am excited that Joralemon Park Doubles League starts on the Tuesday after DST begins. I've been able to play and practice...

I putt RHBH flat Freestyle Set Up(but with minimal spin, not maximum like Freestylers do) but enough so it floats down near the target if it misses. I also putt RHBH hyzer still trying to get the same Freestyle Set Up effect. Even when "floating into the landing" effect isn't achieved, the...
