Taking a first timer to play today

[Sadjo]

I'm taking two or three of my employees out to a short 9-hole course next week. I'm giving everyone an avair or mako. That's it. One disc round for everyone...including me.

i did the same thing once when i found myself out on a course with only a few discs and a new person with none.

i just let them use my z buzzz the entire time, even for putts. worked out good i'd say.

mako's are just great discs... the only disc i'd consider losing my z buzzz for. i need to get one.

I started out with a Marauder!!!! Give them a dx viking or any crappy flippy driver, you're disc golfing not midrangerputtering.

I'd say it went pretty well. I ended up getting a few discs from the bins.. Ill be reading and playing. Good to see a hearty board.

i've introduced around 10 or so of my friends to the game. i find that each one has liked a different disc right out of the gate. for example my wife's goto disc from day 1 was a dx gazelle, while another one of my friends couldn't do a thing with it. turns out his disc of choice was a nuke; i couldn't throw the thing worth a damn but he has huge straight drives almost every time. you just never know.

some people here are going to bullsh*t you, but most of the advice you will find here is helpful, but remember that it's just advice. recommendations. the same thing may not work for you that worked for someone else. do what i do, read everything, play a lot, make your own conclusions

also having a local pro to consult whenever i want is awesome
