    Review by stratedge in course Bonavista Downs

    2.50 star(s) A reasonable option for those in the south. A variety of distances, a lot of gentle slopes to make things interesting, and a handful of trees. There are basically 2 fields that 16 of the holes play across, so when there are more than a handful of people on the course, you're constantly having to...

    Rules enforcement in a 2 player play-off

    I think that the key here is that agreement to the lie is implied by not explicitly disagreeing, provided you have a fair chance to do so. There's already a rule stating that everyone on the card has an obligation to observe every opponents throw for fair application of the rules. This was key...

    Rules enforcement in a 2 player play-off

    I've long felt there seems to be a hole in the competition manual; at no point does it say that a tournament official has to be present for a play-off, does it? Without which, how would one player ever call a penalty such as a foot fault on another player? It seems like common sense they would...

    Review by stratedge in course Riverside DGC

    3.00 star(s) A decent little wooded 9 hole The Calgary area is lacking in densely wooded courses, and this is one of those. The course design is quite good, with a variety of lines to hit and lengths of throw. That's the strength of this little 9 hole. A good place for amateur players to hone their...

    Greed - putting game for 4 players

    So I just want to keep this up to date, but I can't edit my original post. After a group discussion and debate one evening, we decided to reduce the value of the 20 point line to 15 points, and it's been a good change. This serves two purposes. The difference in distance between the 40 and 45...

    DGPT, PDGA, and the Coronavirus

    This pisses me off... with all the pro sports gone I was hopeful that the PDGA would just ban spectators, tournament gatherings, and high fiving, and then keep the events and video coverage. I don't think this had to happen, disc golf is a non contact individual sport in the outdoors. I'm...

    Greed - putting game for 4 players

    Hey! Yeah we call this the "anti-defense" rule, so that you can't hold opponents off going 4/4 from in close. Yeah we play tested the game a bit with just 2 of us, and it's great if the players are relatively close in skill. If there's a significant skill gap, then just like any other sport...

    Greed - putting game for 4 players

    "Greed" is a game we've been playing at our indoor putting league for 2 seasons now. It's been a big hit, and a significant improvement over the common basic game which we refer to as 'horseshoes', so I thought I'd share it for other putting leagues to try. The down side is that it requires...

    Lead shoulder shrug

    What if I told you that tonight I took video while doing the one leg drill, and I'm still shrugging? I can stand on one leg, throw hard, stay balanced, and yet while the disc is in the power pocket my throwing arm shoulder is still high. I'm taking this as an indication that the problem is not...

    Lead shoulder shrug

    ... also, would you mind clarifying this. Are you saying you think I'll feel like I'm going to fall forward doing the one leg drill? If so, forward towards the target or forward over my toes?

    Lead shoulder shrug

    Can't thank you enough for this input, this makes a lot of sense to me and was not where I was looking. Seems kind of obvious too. It's like I can't find my sunglasses, and you point out they're on top of my head. I've been experimenting a lot with good hip rotation and actively powering the...

    Lead shoulder shrug

    When I throw, I shrug my lead should up high, really high, and it's driving me absolutely crazy. It seems like such an easy thing to fix ("just relax" or "don't strong arm the disc") but it's not that simple... my shoulders ARE relaxed. Or at least, they feel relaxed to me, and so I can't relax...

    Back Swing, Down Swing... 2" Thrust

    @sidewinder22 / @hyzerunibomber - It seems mostly straight forward, but can I just clarify I've got the full context of this drill with you. So let's say I'm doing the drill exactly as described, and I transition it directly to my throw, what I take from it primarily are two things: A more...

    Off arm theory

    Hey guys, My next form project is making better use of my off arm (left arm throwing RHBH). I have a bad habit of letting my off arm creep away from my torso for balance, which is basically counter productive to accelerating my rotation speed. GfjiaZ9DvXQ There's ample video evidence of where...
