Disc Golf
 

Who does it???


Went and played with my brother this past weekend and I had totally forgotten how much fun it was.

We did 27 holes and smoked a nice Opus X each while doing it.

Re: Disc Golf
 

no one plays. oi' ve. :)

Re: Disc Golf
 

Played once or twice.. Probably would play more if I had my own discs lol

Re: Disc Golf
 

Me and my buddies have been playing a good bit as of lately, Sedgely wood in lovely Fairmount Park.

What do you throw?

Re: Disc Golf
 

as in what discs do I own or what is my score?

Re: Disc Golf
 

Discs, my good man.

Re: Disc Golf
 

I play disc golf. Haven't played since last year, but get out every so often. My home course is Prompton Dam, but I've played Sedgely Woods as well. Great course.

I usually drive with a Valkyrie, but have a ton of discs. Too many to list.

Re: Disc Golf
 

I've played before. It's ok. I wish I was better at it. I prefer regular golf...

Re: Disc Golf
 

I play. Just played a round this morning and smoked a Dip #5. The Charlotte area has a ton of courses, and another half dozen planned to be completed in the next few years.

Re: Disc Golf
 

Nope never played. But I would try anything once.

Well almost anything :D

Re: Disc Golf
 

I play occasionally, I played a lot in college and still my "set" of discs.

Aviar Putt and Approach - 150 grams


Going to go pick up a distance driver in the next day or so. then it is off to the course on saturday.

Re: Disc Golf
 

Played 36 holes today. I also picked up a Champion Firebird distance driver and I'm really digging it for overhand shots. I threw my best round today throwing the firebird overhand for pretty much everything but putts. I wound up shooting a 58, 7 under par on my home course.

Re: Disc Golf
 

Played a ton way back in college, but it wasn't regulation: just my three buddies, all of us with 185g Ultimate discs, making our way around campus choosing targets. It was a blast. I play on regulation courses about once a year with my son when we vacation in Myrtle Beach. I can't get accustomed to throwing golf discs, though--they just don't fly like regular Frisbees.

Re: Disc Golf
 

My little brother plays and I guess he is pretty good. He winds Tournys and $$$$$ travels back east and such sometimes or used to..me I prefer VB :tu

Rob :dance:

Re: Disc Golf
 

We have a really nice course at my work. I enjoyed playing however the large majority of the people who play at this course smoke the MJ and are a constant thorn in my side chasing them out after hours and making them smash their pieces.

Re: Disc Golf
 

That explains a lot.

:rolleyes:

Re: Disc Golf
 

Ah yes, here it is...

Re: Disc Golf
 

Anyone else playing? Just started to get into it seriously, it is really a fun way to pass the time outside!

Re: Disc Golf
 

I did it for the first time this May and it was fun. I can't see myself getting too involved because there aren't many courses close by.

Re: Disc Golf
 

i haven't gone at all this season. to damn busy. maybe over the long weekend.

Re: Disc Golf
 

I plan on playing this weekend, the weather should be nice and I am still working on learning how to throw the long drive...

aj

Re: Disc Golf
 

Haven't played much the last few months, been way too hot. Now that it's cooling off and the kids are back in school, I'm looking forward to getting back out there.

Re: Disc Golf
 

Just played Sedgly Woods in Fairmount Park today- cool course! All the holes are short, but require you to make a good shot so it's a bit challenging. Looking forward to playing there alot this year :)

aj

Re: Disc Golf
 

this is the season for disc golf, IMO. I think I may have to play a round or 3 this weekend.

Re: Disc Golf
 

Don't forget your cart.

Re: Disc Golf
 

Lol my buddy and I were joking about that last time we played... we need a Frolf Cart!

aj

Re: Disc Golf
 

That is fairly tempting....... I could bring a beer cooler..

Re: Disc Golf
 

beautiful weather here and i don't have time to play. ughhh.

Re: Disc Golf
 

Been playing alot lately, at least 3 rounds a week. I'm really having a great time and learning alot, what a fun sport! But I must say, DX plastic takes a serious beating lol Need to get some Champ and Star stuff... any suggestions?

aj

Re: Disc Golf
 

I started last Fall * I know what a prime time to start* And continued this spring and will do it for as long as possible, I really enjoy it, and I guess I am pretty good with my limited experience. I'll post some pic's of my discs shortly!!

- I am a very critical player, I think to much and drill my self for every slip. I have found my sidearm can get me there, while my back hand.. is well.. sucks horse c*cks!

Austin, MN -my home town, has one of the best courses in Minnesota, Todd Park. If anyone is in the area, or hell if anyone wants to play anywhere in MN let me know, I am down!!!!!
practice practice practice says the squirrel

Re: Disc Golf
 

I love to play and used to play a lot in college, but havent had time to play in at least a year.

Re: Disc Golf
 

I'd say YEAH, I play, but who cares. I am where I am and there is NO ONE around me,
at least that's what it looks like herf-wise, lol. I play at a few courses around here in
Shelby Forest, nice courses, and I am absolutely aces skill-wise, but that's cause I
always threw normal for accuracy and side-arm for distance. So I have all the moves,
lol. I need to play before it gets hot. No need to say what discs I own since I own no
discs, my playing partner has a few mixed discs.

Re: Disc Golf
 

one of the first things i am gong to do when i get back from this frickin country is go play a round.

Re: Disc Golf
 

goin out today actually =]

Re: Disc Golf
 

Favorite Putters?
I just ordered 2x 176g Red Discraft Soft Magnets to work my putting with, and was just told Discraft is releasing a Cryztal FLX Magnet- OH My! thing is going to be nice, so what do you use?
and why...

Re: Disc Golf
 

Never tried the Magnets but they seem pretty popular! I have a few putters but I mainly throw and Innova XD and an MVP Ion. They XD is fairly beat up (as putters should be!) and has a nice lower profile- I use it for approaches and longer putts as it glides well. The Ion I like for short drives and normal putting, and it is great in the wind.

Re: Disc Golf
 

right on :banger

Re: Disc Golf
 

I play nearly every day. I used to play ball golf until I hurt my back in an auto accident, and now it hurts it too bad. Disc golf is a great "low-impact" sport for me that allows many of the same benefits as regular golf.

In fact, I have a tournament coming up in 6 hours. :banger

Re: Disc Golf
 

good luck! what do you enjoy throwing for the most part?

I am still tossing the Discraft ESP- Venoms around, as well as a Surge/flash etc
* I need a Innova Destroyer- I threw a buddies and it was glorious!

Re: Disc Golf
 

I have been out a few times in the last few weeks. I need to deepen my disc collection because I have lost my putters and midranges from bad shots and lack of skills.

Putting with drivers is not recommended.

I have a local-ish guy that sells lots of used discs for 5 bucks, time to give him a visit or hit the 'bay.

Re: Disc Golf
 

I have no backhand skill or I would use putters for 100 ft+ drives
Basically everything I do consists of a side-arm drive- and putting. If I am out of putting range I am hurting real bad :r

Re: Disc Golf
 

To any West Oregon golfers, I am organizing a disc golf league at Horning's Hideout that will begin on April 20th. More details to come.

Re: Disc Golf
 

I know this is a bit old, but man do I love disc golf. Started this summer and played about twice a week for the rest of the season. Really wish there was a course close here in Chicago like there is back home in Michigan.

Re: Disc Golf
 

Looks like Disc Golf posting is far and few between, so to speak. Thought I'd shake the bushes a bit. I'm in foothills western NC and play once or twice a week and have been for about ten years. Anyone else?

Re: Disc Golf
 

I play occasionly, good times but I lose a lot of discs.

Re: Disc Golf
 

If your not losing a disc here and there, you just aren't trying hard enough.:banger

Re: Disc Golf
 

I'm lucky, I've got two nines about a block away, two totally separate styles of courses. pretty fun but gets busy sometimes.

Re: Disc Golf
 

I'm pretty lucky too. I live in a rural western North Carolina county with four courses, 1 public that is pretty decent and 3 private courses that are excellent... better yet one of the private layouts is mine.:tu

Re: Disc Golf
 

private? I have never seen a private disc golf course.
