Where did you hear about DGCR?

[timg]

This is just something I'm kind of curious about. When I first launched the site at the end of May I posted it on various local forums but since then I haven't done much promotion other than posting fliers at the courses I play (if there's a spot to post one). With almost 350 members, 500+ reviews and many more non-registered players, the site is definitely on it's way to becoming the resource I hoped it would be when I first started it.

But back to the question at hand, where did you hear about the site?

[magictenor1]

My brother,(who is not a member) saw it somewhere and told me about it.

[bfaslewis]

I saw a link from the NRDG site. Their "links" page brings you to a MSN forum, which is where I saw it first, then I noticed it again on the forum on the NRDG site itself.

Since then I have mentioned it to all of my friends that play disc golf, and one of them has become a member as well.

[fedsigMaster]

I don't remember what I was searching.......I was looking for info on the camo Carolina team bag and came across this post (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showpost.php?p=445&postcount=10). Took a look around and the rest is history.

[jaymon1]

Lowe mentioned it on the PDGA Courses message board I believe. And I'm very glad he did - this is a great site.

[corey115]

I heard about it one DGR.

[Olorin]

I can't remember now, but one of the first places I remember hearing about DGCR was a thread on the PDGA DISCussion board. Tim, did you start that thread?

I'm also a member of the PDGA Course Evaluators group, and the DG Course Design Group. There may have been something posted there too. I know I'v posted to those groups about DGCR, so everyone in those groups has the word.

BTW, has a thread been put on the Disc Golf Review forums, http://www.discgolfreview.com/forums/ ? That would also be a great place to get the word out since they also have course review section.

-Lowe

[timg]

Yea, I post on DGR and usually post a thing about the site when I roll out a new feature like the recent disc/bag organizer.

[Olorin]

BTW, has a thread been put on the Disc Golf Review forums, http://www.discgolfreview.com/forums/ ? That would also be a great place to get the word out since they also have course review section.

Well, to answer my own question, I just went over to the discgolfreview.com forums. I found the thread that Tim started and the last post on it was by me on 12/3/07. I apologize for the slip up, but I was born without a short term memory.

March 6, 2008 issue of the PDGA E - Newsletter.

[PsyStal]

A friend and I randomly bumped into two guys playing at Moraine State Park in PA this past summer (I believe late July...) and struck up a conversation. As it turned out, they were just starting up a site called dgcoursereview.com that sounded pretty awesome. Since then, anytime I've needed course info or the latest chatter on disc golf I've come to this page first! Hope you guys are still enjoying lots of courses! Thanks for the great site!

[timg]

Hey PsyStal,

I remember that! Moraine was an awesome course, PA is a great disc golf state in general. Later that summer we toured the Pittsburgh area and then this spring we'll be traveling through Ohio.

[adam fuhs]

[ixcptmorganxi]

[Pastime]

I don't remember where I found the link but I was just browsing for info on some local courses and found this site, so glad I did.

[andyman]

I found it while trying to compile a list of GPS coordinates for my Garmin. It has a lot more than the PDGA website.

I found it while trying to compile a list of GPS coordinates for my Garmin. It has a lot more than the PDGA website.

That's because I followed the street directions for just about every course myself to get the lat/lon.

Yes, it took a very long time :)

I was just searching for disc golf related sites on yahoo.

I was playing at the Spring Valley Course in Spring Texas last week and the guy at the Pro Shop told me about it....I LOVE this site....

[mike_riewer]

the site was marked with a sharpie on the top of the basket. Like where discers write thier aces. Since then I mark the baskets with the site

[masterP]

I heard it from my brother mike riewer

[Donovan]

I found it searching on Google, but since then I have been handing out those little cards you made, and spreading the word verbally to other players.

[timg]

That's cool, I appreciate all you guys spreading the word.

[sgamerp]

I was looking for a map of a park and stumbled across this site. It has helped me find many new places to place, along with weather or not i'd like to go to the course. Thanks!:D

[cloudstrife]

I saw an ad at a local park (MCC) must have been put there by Tim since I later found out he was from rochester as well

Also seen ads at baker farm, and been trying to spread the word here in Auburn NY

[timg]

Speaking of the local flyers, I need to put up some of the new ones. The ones up in Rochester are the original ones that weren't quite as pretty.

[JR Stengele]

I heard about it on the whatcom disc golf club website. I tell everyone I meet on the course all about it. I think people think I am promoting my own site by the way I am so overly excitied about it.

I met someone while playing my local course and they asked me if I had ever played Lion's Park in Temple, TX. I said no and they said try it because it's awesome. That night I Googled Lion's park and my life has not been the same since. I really like the distance to other courses feature.

[PA_Disc]

I think i Googled Disc Golf Forum or something of that nature. I too like the format of the site. I think that it works very well for such an opinion based site. The format is easy to read and understand. I too tell people about the site, it makes sense and its is honestly the best review site that I have found on the internet. Props to Timg! :cool: Now if only the PDGA would update their relic of a review site...

[Rbuzz9]

searching something DG related on Yahoo- it was probably some type of disc. or some technique i was looking up.

I think I found it on google. But since ten I have seen flyers posted on a couple courses. One of them is the course in Fayetteville, Ga. I also think there's one posted at Buckhorn.

DGR for sure.

[phishbrained]

blackle searched disc golf courses in my area. I started using the course reviews and locations to find more courses and I've been hooked ever since. I have'nt been playing as much since school has started up again, but I get out at least one round every weekend.

[Mason65]

I saw it on DGR, I like some of the features here, but I'll still frequent both sites.

[jhgonzo]

I was Googling "LTC Cleveland Disc Golf" to check up on some news releases the college does on my behalf when I inform them of an event or update to the course, and it was like the 3rd or 4th result. I clicked the link and saw that people were giving pretty favorable reviews to a course I helped design, was thrilled, and figured I'd sign up to put in my .02. Little did I know I'd become so addicted and obsessed with contributing as much as possible!...not just reviews, but photos from local courses, course info, and then these blasted forums...

And now, thanks to timg and his wonderful invention, I can't play a single round without having a scrap of paper to record all my strokes and putts, and the weather/conditions...;)

[harr0140]

Played my first round of disc golf . . . drove the rest of the way to Florida (from WI) and got online and searched for all things disc golf and found this site first. It helped me find and play 6 courses in Florida and on the way home from florida. . . . 97 courses later I am still hooked.

[colodiscgolfer]

I stumbled upon it during a google search for courses near my wife's parent's place in WI. Unfortunately the course was closed for 4th of July fireworks on site, but at least I know where to play next time I'm in town. It's walking distance from their place, and they didn't even know it existed.

[BrotherDave]

I was volunteering at a soup kitchen for homeless people and one of the other volunteers told me he posted on here all the time under the moniker 80playedin10states, sometimes when the summer breeze hits me just right I reflect about those times I had and wonder whatever happened to that kind, gentle stranger.

[adh56]

My brother turned me onto it. We got into disc golf a few months ago. I'm sure he found it in a Google search.

[TalbotTrojan]

I found it on a Yahoo Search. Mu ha ha to all you Google users. I mean I actually use Google a lot as well but for some reason I remember finding this site almost a year ago when searching on Yahoo after literally playing for a week or so.

[duckgolfer]

TalbotTrojan told me where to find it! :) It's a great site! I love all the resources and the ability to post scores and review the progress of other members. Plus, the forums are useful.

[skurf]

I found it thru google, but I've also seen a flyer at Pease and Searight in Austin.

[tamahawk]

Google search trying to find info about a local course. It took me right to the DGCR page for the course. I was really impressed with all the information (e.g. photos, course info, links page, reviews, etc.) and that was it, I signed up immediately.

I gotta thank the PDGA website, the course directory was down, and redirected everyone here. The best response yet imo

Just last week I was playing a new course (for me) with map in hand. A guy pulled up and yelled out the window of his minivan at me, “Are there maps of this course?” “Sure,” I replied, “I got this one off of dgcoursereview.com.” He asked me to repeat the name of the site and then drove off. It’s been a week, so hopefully he’s found it by now.

As for me, a search engine brought me here.

I kept hearing people talk about it from time to time. I went to a tournament put on by Gottafixit dude and won and snatched up a bunch of stuff donated by people on this forum. I regifted the goods the next week as CTP's at my tournament. But I keep coming back. You people aren't so bad if you would just get off of the forums and go play some golf.

Hey, it was great meeting you and your crew Wes. I'm so glad you were happy to let us talk your ear off about DGCR. I've always said I think this site is the best thing to happen to disc golf on the web. Looks like the rest of the world is starting to agree with me.

I think I found the site in April 2006 (pretty early on). Tim had posted a link on the NEFA (New England Flying Disc Assoc) forum and then he got lambasted for unwanted advertizing. He apologized and said he didn't think he was doing anything wrong. Then he was apologized to because the lambaster thought Tim was trying to sell something and didn't look at the link. Fools!

Have I mentioned I F-ing love this place and all you fine folks? I don't even go on my local boards anymore.
