I would suggest playing Hudson Mills, of course. The monster long tees to the champion pin placements. Hardest course this area has to offer for sure. Stony Creek, over on what we east siders call the east side, in the city of Utica, has one of the most difficult pro layouts in the state as...

Yes, I agree that the course info could be better. Disc golf course review absolutely destroys the disc golf scene when it comes to descriptions, directions, and everything else related to course info. The interface on the review is a hell of a lot easier to work with when it comes to courses...

The following info is posted on the disc golf scene. There are 3 ace races happening that weekend in the grand rapids area-ish. One is muskegon, on in big rapids, and on in st. charles. Not sure if st. charles is west side or not, but I know that it surely is not eastside. Kind of surprised...

Not disc selection advice, but technique. As a former baseball player myself, I have found that throwing a disc shares the same motions as throwing a baseball/softball. The forehand shot should be easy to translate. Tell her that the motion, follow through, and release are the exact same as...

Are you kidding me? Look up hyzer or anhyzer in the dictionary. They are not there. They are not really words, just made up slang that sounds stupid as hell. I hate both hyzer and anhyzer. Just makes me feel like a huge tool. Very similar to someone using dungeons and dragons slang.

Hole 18 Hudson Mills Monster course. Finishing up a league round in the dark. The hole is blind, 290' and requires an anny shot that finishes back a little left. There is a creek to the right, and a nasty swamp directly in front of the tee about 150 off that continues and widens all the way...

Throwing my teebirds and stalkers in tournaments, instead of destroyers and wraiths has worked for me in tournament play. I was rated 910 at the end of 2009, and am now rated 950. pdga#38864. True, the faster disc will travel farther, if you know how to throw. However, golf is almost always...

up 15 to 950

I could not agree more. Disc golf is going to be very much like bowling or softball. Not necessarily big money for the pros, just much more organized at the local level. Already seeing it in Michigan. We have a website devoted to keeping track of leagues and tournaments. Kinda like facebook...

That is funny that you bring that up. I have been thinking about posting a picture of my grip to see if anyone else in the world throws that way for any kind of distance:sick: It may just get me made fun of, though. Until the end of October 2009 I thought that was the way everyone threw a...

I have had fights with people about the existence of Timberlee. They always think I am talking about Hickory Hills, which I have not played. There is not a great record of the course, unless you know someone who has played there.

I have only played two ski hill courses in 12 years of disc, Timberlee an Targahee National Forest in Wyoming. Despite have a real mountain range at Targahee, Timberlee was way sweeter. I lived in Traverse for about 2 months in 2000 and played that course almost every day. That course is...

Disc golf will never blow up to be the sport that skateboarding or snowboarding has become. Those sports have an inherent coolness factor that disc lacks completely. On top of that, the aforementioned sports had a logistical advantage. Ski hills already existed when snowboards hit the slopes...

Play the redesigned. Kensington course. They only kept 5 of the original 18, and only two of those remain unchanged. Holes 19-27 are sweet. Indy is great, just take a good look at the map by the first hole. The course has a few long walks, which can be confusing to someone who has never...

Have given away well over a hundred discs. Sometimes I trade with friends. I just can't see the purpose in having boxes and boxes and boxes of discs that are worthless to me. Have probably started ten serious golfers with just the stuff that I gave them. I hate to see people on the course...

Milestones: First ace (1998) at kensington, MI on hole 15, now sadly gone. Ace in second state at the Songer campground course in WV, hanging basket hole. Won first tourney this year am2 no foolin' at hudson mills in MI. Hit ace number 10 on hole...

I think Dmitri Martin from comedy central plays. The show was on yesterday and they had a skit about dudes arguing with their girlfriends in beautiful places over the cell phone. One of shots showed a disc golf basket about 15 ft in the background. Completely unmistakable. I hate when guys...

I grew up in Northville and there was a rumor that Geena Davis was in town to play the Worlds back in 2000. There may have been an article in the local paper...

I automatically keep track of my own score in my head. I have never been able to not do this. In casual rounds I am the unofficial score keeper of the group. Call it ADD or rainman syndrome or whatever, but I always keep score. Even when I first began and was taking a bogey on almost every...

No love for the ringer? Small and easy to hold/throw. I was money with that thing today in 50 mph. wind gusts with some sideways rain thrown in for just for s#!ts and giggles at the no foolin' tourney at Hudson Mills in Michigan. The wind was blowing putts around like it was getting paid...
