Let me know if you're looking for some company when you're in the area. You were a great course guide for me when I was in Cali many years ago, I'd love to return the favor!

Whoa, I've been away from the forums for more than 2 years, and when I pop back in, I'm being quoted on the very first post I see. It's like I never left! Anyway, from what I remember of this hole, it's an uphill tee shot to a hard left turn. The tee placement doesn't leave a lot of space to...

It's baaaack....kind of. On 8/8, ESPNU becomes ESPN 8: The Ocho. Beginning with a midnight airing of the 2016 American Open. http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2017/08/espn-transforms-espnu-espn8-ocho-august-8/?sf103527611=1

The actual "test" didn't take very long at all. As Chuck said, the workshop was all about understanding the results and learning to recognize where others may fall in the DISC profile.

"World Champion" is an arbitrary title that has meaning only to whoever chooses to recognize it. There are plenty of allegories in other sports. In baseball, the winner of the World Series is called the "world champion." But the argument could be made that the winners of the World Baseball...

I just went through a 4 hour DISC workshop at work

This A couple years ago I moved from NH to VA. My new local course is wide open, with only one hole that is even remotely wooded. Sometimes it's nice to have a nice wide open course with manicured grass. It's relatively easy for me to play through an entire round without setting foot in any...

Same. My disc collection is expansive enough that I'm not getting new discs to fill a particular slot in the bag. So whenever I'm throwing a new disc (or even an old one that I haven't used in a while), if it doesn't fly the way I expect/want, I'll just use it for what it is, not for what I want...

I walk off the course all the time when I'm playing solo. Some days I'm just not feeling it and would rather use my time for other things, so I bail. I usually only do this on my home course because the time investment in getting there is only about 15 minutes round trip, and the course itself...

I have no interest in being anyone's "cattie." If I had to choose, my services would go to the highest bidder.

You answered your own question

Keep in mind, that if you're going up to Seneca or Patapsco, you're going to have to take the beltway. If you time it wrong, that can be a very long trip. Bluemont is great if you can get there in the middle of a weekday when it's less crowded. You could also check out Burke Lake or Giles Run...

If it's not worth the cost of admission. Then don't play there.

If the park doesn't care, why do you? I know we all like to feel some sense of ownership of our local courses, but in reality, it's not your battle to fight. If you want to be a good samaritan, contact the parks department and let them know that you've observed people using the course without...

I've been playing for well over a decade, I'm certain I'm well north of $2k spent.

This is just further evidence that the disc golf community is an easy troll target (whether intentional or not). Whenever someone says something off-color about the sport, whether it's a TV show (Happy Endings) or a no-name blogger deep in the bowels of the internet, say something bad and the...

This statement makes it sound like it ended up being a very average day for you. But because it was a tournament where you wanted to play your best, it feels a lot worse than it really is. You're dwelling too much on the negative. There are two strategies I use to try to combat this: First...

I'm afraid to click that link at work....

There's nothing here to get upset about. There are people raising some very legitimate concerns about what effect disc golf will have on the park. Just like you have strong opinions in favor of disc golf, they have strong opinions against it because disc golf does nothing for them aside from...

Exactly. It sounds to me that they raised some very valid concerns. The case from Cali is a good one to illustrate the danger of mixing disc golf with other activities. It shows that we're throwing dangerous projectiles rather than the catch and throw discs that most people may be accustomed...
