Back in the day a 5,000' course was a monster. The only water hazards you ran across were creeks where you could retrieve your disc. Nobody flicked. You could throw a Roc and an Aviar and never wish you had anything else.I just asked because ive heard that a lot of the old timers used to use just one or two disc to play,compared to todays players that carry a backpack full of disc.
If you had to play a entire course with just one disc which one would you pick and why?
Dang, these threads are getting redundant.

Those days are gone. The holes are longer. The courses are better and require more shots. Playing most courses now with one disc is unrealistic and would be no fun. If I had to play with one disc, I'd quit. :|
I can play pretty much any course with five. Maybe four, but definitely five. Anything less than that is a stretch. Asking one disc to handle all non-putter shots would require a pretty boring course IMO.Edited to add: I would vastly prefer a 2-disc round, with one putter to putt with and the other disc for everything else.

Which is generally what happens. You get to an old pitch 'n putt and decide to one disc or two disc to add more challenge into a course that really is an example of why we used to get away with playing with only an Aviar and Roc back in the day. The use fits on the short courses. Do it on a modern course and it's torture for no reason.
I'd at least need one more driver to flick. I'm terrible at flicks and need something OS to cover how horrible I am at it. So I could possibly get by with four. I'd rather have five. :|I could probably do a 3-disc round on a longer course. Putter, midrange or fairway driver (Panther or Leopard3 for me), and driver. Hoping for ideal calm winds and not losing any discs. :thmbup:
And you've only been here 2 years. Imagine all of these that I've seen.

Been around longer than that.
Tagged along on a friend of mines account until he quit discing. Then I got my own.
