There isn't much in this life that I fear except losing any one of five discs in my bag. If I lost one, it would feel like I lost a child. Each one of them has a nickname. OMG, I think I'm addicted. LOL Woodpecker

I love dogs. Been around them my whole life. My mom raised show dogs for 45 yrs. Worked for a vet from the time I was 15 until I graduated from college. To this day, a strange dog running at me puts me on guard. And I know the LOOK. The look when a dog senses fear and is about to go...

Living in south Texas, the "pull a gun, ask questions later" attitude is prevalent when it comes to protecting life and property. I have to admit, I've done it myself more than once. My family has a 10,000 acre ranch in Del Rio, 5 miles from the Mexican border. As soon as I pull through the...

I have an old custom hippie van that I drive to DG tourneys, a pick up trunk and a Chevy sedan. I keep my main bag in the pick up trunk (my main driver)all of the time. My son gave me a small bag (called a NutSac, I think) that I keep 4-5 discs in the back of my van. In my sedan, I have about...

I'm 60 yrs. old. Last weekend, I played in a 3 round tourney with all the youngsters as the ol' farts division was full. Did great the first round but the lunch break didn't do my back any good. I tried to warm up for the second round but my lower back wasn't buying into the plan. By the...

Hole 13, McClain Park, 280', short tee. Heavy tree line on the right with the basket covered by a thick canopy. A guy throws a high thumber down the tree line, it cuts right over the trees. Never heard it hit any kind of wood on the way in and then........CHING! for an ace. The impossible...

Universal City has just been renovated with the closing of several open holes on the front of the course with several new technical holes added to the middle of the course to make a full 18. Between the three, I'd play Live Oak if it gets wet at all since most of the course has grassy...

McClain is my home course in San Antonio. I'd love to play with you but as soon as the turkey dinner is over on Thursday, I'm on my way to our ranch in Del Rio for the weekend. McClain is the toughest technical course in SA. It is easy to navigate except for the transition from hole 9 to 10...

Nikko is a great putter for basically one reason, his work ethic. When Nikko makes his way down to south Texas, he usually stays at my house. I have a basket set up in the back yard. The times Nikko has stayed with me, the minimun amount of time he spent each day putting in my backyard was 2...

It gets cold enough to layer up about 2 weeks a year here in south Texas. I just use my underarmor camo long johns, jeans, a long sleeve pullover and my ljght weight underarmor hunting jacket. Most of the time, I lose the jacket by the third hole depending on how windy it is. I can take the...

I don't do this but a couple of my friends do. While they're turned away throwing a hissy fit and kicking their bags, I'm watching like a hawk where their disc went because neither guy will leave a disc without looking for it for twenty minutes or more. I don't know how many times I've heard "I...

I volunteer for tons of work details and charities simply because it makes me feel good. I quit looking for a "pat on the back" a loooooonng time ago. I know what work I"ve done and that's all that matters. Whenever I'm around someone who's b@tching about the condition of the course, all I...
