i'm new to the game, new to the site, and would be interested in any info on local courses around Pensacola-Mobile-Ft Walton Beach.

thanks all.

I used to live in the F-Dub but now I live where the disc golf flows like wine.

Send a PM to my brother that still lives down there. You can find him in my friends list. He goes by the user-name: Doc Dankenstein

I bet he would meet up with you for a round at Ferry Park in FWB. Tell him I sent you.

the ecdgc bag tag round has been moved to another date TBD (late Feb. from what i'm hearing though).

also, i'm organizing a glow round at sunset park in gulf breeze, FL...talked to Denise from the rec center today on the phone. she said it would be fine if we played a glow round at sunset park as long as it would not be a tournament (meaning entry fee/prizes/etc) in any way shape or form....unless some of the proceeds went to the park/improving the park. All i'll have to do is call her once I've decided on a day to do it, and its golden!

so, i was thinking either tuesday 2/15 or friday 2/18, what do you all think?
would anyone like to attend?

as far as lighting the discs up, i've got 2 methods to use. one being the clear duct tape, paper towel, and a cut open glow stick.....the other being a single LED, attach the connectors to either side (+/-) of a watch battery, tape it together, and clear duct it to the bottom center of a disc.

i'm open to any other suggestions on lighting discs, but i have searched on the forum and didn't see anything other than those two methods that i really liked, and i know LED discs are out there, but i'm not gonna drop $20 on one personally.

as far as the baskets go, i have a few LED glowstick/flashlights sold at hardware stores, and i would be willing to buy some regular glowsticks for the rest of the baskets. I will also bring some extra glow-sticks, tape, and some LEDs and watch batteries for others at my own expense (maybe enough for 10-15 other people).

if anyone is interested, let me know! and if anyone has any suggestions, i'd be interested to hear them

thanks

I lived in the F-Dub from the end of '00 til March of '08. I moved to Charlotte that month and was introduced to disc golf then. I wanted to play Oaks/Palmetto when I was down there visiting my folks last month but I just didnt get the chance to make it:wall:.

I think they put in the Ferry Park DGC the same year I left for Charlotte. Like I said, send my bro a PM. He should respond. I know he wants to get out to Oaks/Palmetto sometime soon (if he hasnt already):thmbup:.

looks like Fri the 18th is gonna be the night. Full moon and whatnot...also more people would be able to play longer into the evening on a weekend night as opposed to a weekday (sorry bar and restaurant people, ur gonna have to be like me and request the night off if you wanna play).

I've got green 4" and yellow 4" sticks to light the baskets (odd holes will be green, evens yellow) and one red LED glowstick for the 16th (as the 12th and 16th basket are fairly close to one another and both are even numbered holes).
I'm gonna pick up another 24 of the green ones (I've got 24 green and 12 yellow already). Party city has packs of 12 for $10, so thats not too bad. So in total I'll have 2 LED glowsticks, 48 green and 12 yellow 4" sticks, and I've also got 12 bracelets to put on bags for each group (if we indeed have enough people for multiple groups). If I do get some of the LEDs, I will not be bringing any extras as I originally planned as I'm sure 60 glow sticks will be enough....unless I get commitments from many more people, lol...

as of now, i've got 7-8 of my friends who are down to play, in addition to anyone on this site, dgcoursereview.com, and ECDGC.com who is gonna come out and play.

I'm covering the cost of the glowsticks for this round, no worries...as long as 60 is enough, lol
