Noobie Question Thread (Dumb Questions answered here)

nothing showed up in the search so here it is:

why do some players carry a chair with them? i see that they use them for putting their bag on and sitting in, but that just seems like so much to carry.

Tourney rounds are extremely slow and lots of standing around, depending on your card mates. A stool can help you stay fresh over the course of a day's tourney by keeping you off your feet while the rest of your card goes through their dumb long pre throw routines.

My pre throw routine is to attach my chair to a nearby tree using rope, I then proceed to pay homage to the great Yip Man and start practicing Wing Chun. Only practical reason to carry a chair around IMO.

This may violate some PDGA rules, particularly tampering with the course and time limits as well as common courtesy violations. :\

What if you play in a PDGA sanctioned tourney and you're not a PDGA member?

You still have to follow PDGA rules.

those tripod chairs weigh about 2 ounces. sometimes the course has no benches, and you might want to have a seat somewhere that isn't the ground or a dirty log. play could also be backed up on certain holes

Anything else I should know?

PDGA members typically pay a smaller entry fee than non-members at a lot of sanctioned tourneys.

 

[Frank Delicious]

yeah for longer courses or courses you know don't have benches, a stool is crucial.

you have to pay like 10 bucks more for the entry fee
