It's a reminder that the course title, "...how many should a course have?", should be answered, "depends on the course". Erosion is certainly an issue on many heavily-played courses, and mulch isn't an answer on slopes where it can be the worst. Though some terrains suffer more than others...

I'm not a fan of the multiple sleeves/moving baskets, myself. Rarely are all pin positions as good, and it's disappointing to get to a hole and find out the basket is not in its best location. Plus, on courses I play a lot, there's no standard on what constitutes a good score; there are a...

They don't post, but we do: https://www.dgcoursereview.com/threads/amish-disc-golfers.134071/ I figured you had been looking at that thread, but were on this thread when you went to post about them. I've posted clever responses in the wrong thread before, so they came across more idiotic than...

Absolutely. There's a thread about the Amish -- I thought maybe someone posted the right post in the wrong thread, dis-railing the topic of discussion.

Oh, it's great for TDs. (Except for certain ones of us running non-standard-format events). I'm in the curmudgeon group that doesn't care to play with our phones while playing disc golf....but I don't play tournaments anymore, so am in no position to complain. But if I had to, I'd confess...

We have a private course, which is an entirely different story. We're dealing with way too many discs to contact everyone, not to mention return them. So we post descriptions on our Facebook page in batches, and pull out the lost & found for events (or dig through it if players visit at other...

On a public course, I save myself the moral dilemma by not taking the disc, to begin with. If there's contact info in the disc I'll call or text it, because I've often found that the owners are still on the course. Otherwise, I'll leave it -- usually where I found it, or nearby, on the...

Maybe someone's brain shorter and he conflated "throwing three" into "laying three" and was off from there on.

It's a violation for them to not watch you putt out. It's a violation for taking too much time to retrieve your disc. Scores can be corrected at any time before they're turned in. You could get a stroke for a stance violation (but they agreed on the lie). Who knows?

Rules questions shouldn't burn bridges. I'm a much more experienced player and long time TD, but it's always possible I could get a rule wrong. Particularly since my aging head is crammed with obsolete rules that have been changed over the years. And when I was younger and newer, I also got...

I was going to say that "more experienced" can mean "wrong for longer", but since HyooMac answered more tactfully, I won't say it.

I have no idea what the "more experienced" player was talking about.

Strictly speaking, the original post wasn't asking for medical advice, he was asking if it would affect his game. Showing he's got his priorities in order.

For the last year or two I've been wearing one on my plant foot, and don't notice any effect on my game. Then again, so many other things negatively affect my game -- injuries, bad form, etc. -- that I'm not sure I'd notice if it did. From a life of on-and-off-again usage of knee braces, I'll...

Anyway, the post that revived this thread is based on these personal options: The rule was made by someone authorized to make rules, but I disagree with it, so (1) I will endeavor to get it changed; or (2) It doesn't apply to me. Civil disobedience is a fine social tool, but requires...
