Biggest pet peeve in disc golf

[TNDiscGolfer]

2 of the biggest pet peeves I can think of when I am on a course is when people blare their music on their phone or in parking lot, I'm not really picky on a little chatter and this and that but when you have no respect or etiquette at all is when I get a little ticked. Also when you are finishing a hole or in the process of finishing a hole and you have a few jackasses behind you who clearly see you and still toss their disc and immediately yell fore. If you can see me and there is even a slight chance of you hitting me, wise up mannnnn! Just wait! I promise I will let you pass me on the next hole to prevent me from saying something smart. I am a very easy golfer to get along with on the course and can take alot of things without getting ticked but some people have no common decency or respect and just do as they want. Mainly young teenagers but you get the occasional adult who should definitely know better and it just makes me want to :wall:

[mjoyce]

I'm with you on your second pet peeve. Throwing on anyone is uncalled for in any circumstance. I disagree in regards to music. UNLESS this person is blaring music during a league or tourney round. That's uncalled for, people paid money to play and are trying to do as well as possible. But if it's a group playing a casual round I'm not going to get too butt hurt about them playing some music. I might be different because I don't really come from a golf background. So talking while I'm shooting really doesn't bother me. Neither does music (unless they're blasting some sort of garbage that no one should listen to anywhere)

[kutz167]

My biggest pet peeve is when you're stuck behind that group of four of five people as a single that just won't let you play through no matter how long they make you have to wait. The course should be enjoyed by everyone, and it is just common decency to let faster players play through, right? Anyways, apart from that, It kind of bugs me when people almost hit you, especially if it is something they do with high frequency.

[simpletwist]

Litterers.

[Cygnus]

My pet peeve is all the peeve threads.

[Razor]

When players in my group take away more than 30sec to throw and switch discs 3 times before picking one to throw. Then they blame the disc when it doesn't do what they thought it should do.

I was behind a group of 12 players last week. 12. Had never dealt with a group that big before...and this is at one of the busiest courses in DFW.

Aww did your whole day just get ruined that there are 2 threads that are similar? I'm sorry that I don't search the whole forum before I post to see if there is anything that could be of the same topic. This post just randomly came to mind and as I was wondering, just for sh*ts and giggles, what the rest of the forums responses may be I decided to just post it and see. I'm sure there are hundreds of different posts on here that could be roughly the same questions if you really want to analyze every single post. But as I dont have time to worry about if there are two similar threads in a forum/review site ill leave that to you my friend. Your doing a mighty fine job so far. Hey here is a idea, get a job. DO something. Productive preferably. That way you don't have time to troll and get your panty's in a wad over a post. :thmbup:

[mjoyce]

^this. There's a guy around here who's like that. If you believe in hocus-pocus that my voice will change the flight of your disc into a tree that's your problem.

It's not like we're saying anything during your throw. This well after your disc has left your hand and I'm trying to compliment what looks to be a good throw. If your disc finds a tree it's not because I said 'nice' or 'good toss' or 'hit a tree' it was hitting that tree whether I was going to say something or not.

[Johnny Conservative]

There is a guy around here that gets super pissed when you "nice" his disc. Actually, he is probably the best player in this area.

But to answer your question; My biggest pet peeve is the guy that thinks and acts like he owns the course just because he shovels some mulch and weed-eats it on workdays. Those type of guys need to get a life.

Parks in the United States of America are public property, not your backyard. Enjoy our parks, share them, and be respectful of others that have come to do the same. Most of all, act like you are in public while you are in the park(hint, hint: even in the woods). These people I speak of seem to think that they are in their own backyard and give little or no thought of who else around them can see or smell their illegal activities.

That same guy exists here too...might not be the best player in the area but he's pretty good. Only played with him once. It was a casual round...real causal. We made sure to tell him that from the beginning and he was pretty cool about it. But if you say anything while his disc is in flight during league night he's going to be annoyed and tell you "don't talk while the disc is in flight"

"grow the sport"

i do not think tournaments grow the sport - AT ALL. it grows a closed system that is almost completely invisible to most of the people out there enjoying disc golf, pushing it forward with awareness, flooding the courses so that new ones get approved and designed at an increasingly artful level.

awareness is a slight byproduct of tournaments. growing the sport means a concerted effort toward awareness, and in that respect i don't think very many people are growing the sport. "grow the sport" is a battle cry for those who desperately seek validation for being a DG fiend. it's a hobby bro, and you're really into it. pulling your socks up higher and wearing more expensive gear deep in the woods so that you can "move up" and drop one of the same two dozen sponsor names to the same three dozen guys you've played against for years ... you're not growing squat.

[JeCroisQue]

My biggest pet peeve is people who are uptight and get annoyed when i play my music. These people need to get a life. Its just disc golf. If you arent having fun then stay at home.

Not everyone needs music to have fun playing, if you do then you can use headphones. I don't really want Creed blasting in my ears while I'm trying to make a 25' par putt.

[slowRoll]

They are not harming you so get over it. Let people make their own decisions even if you don't agree with them.

When their decisions affect my kids and the other children trying to play in the park, it becomes my concern and the concern of my good friends in law enforcement. You sir don't have a leg to stand on legally or morally.

[DiscJunkie]

My biggest pet peeve is bad music on the course played through bad speakers that you bought at WalMart to play at max volume. You love your music and I'm sure you think everyone else loves it.
Trust me. A LOT of us don't like you taste in music. I'd much rather hear the birds sing. If you can't go without music for a couple hours - get some headphones or earbuds.

My next one is talking while someone is preparing to throw. Seriously. You can't be quiet for a couple minutes?? Did I mistakenly get into a foursome with the local bridge party? Be courteous, be quiet.

[DeadEye]

erock...ever think other people don't have the same taste in music as you? It is possible.

This. People on my course like to walk around pumping out Skrillex from their ****ty phone speakers. Maybe I should listen to stupid ****ing music while I practice putting at home, that way when I get up to putt on the course I'm used to it.

These people I speak of seem to think that they are in their own backyard and give little or no thought of who else around them can see or smell their illegal activities.

On the music issue the music isn't the problem. It's the fact that those that feel the need to have music playing always listen to the sh*ttiest stuff.

[TNDiscGolfer]

Thank you! :hfive: Nice to know someone understands the concept of don't open your mouth unless you have something useful to say. Some people cant hold back from putting their 2 cents in though and its very funny to see peoples va-jay-jay's get hurt over such nonsense.

I really enjoy Classical Music and acoustic guitar and blues and Motown and Contemporary Christian music. Why is it that every time I hear someone's iPod music going out at over-modulated, distorted volume through a pair of crappy 3" speakers, it's ALWAYS some heavy, death-metal noise that I don't like. Really, how 'bout Motown, or Bach or Selah?

No, wait. They're STILL crappy speakers. Get some earbuds.

But...If we're talking about people playing music while they play on some random weekend afternoon at the course you need to be able to deal with it. They have as much right to do that as you have not to. After all most DG courses are located in public parks.
You don't have any right to tell the picnicer's next to the tee pad not to play music because they're on a disc golf course (you can politely inform them of what's going on and that it's distracting). To them you're throwing a frisbee in the park at some metal thing. Why is it that the guy in the group in front of you playing music bothers you so much?

Which one?

[mjoyce]

FWIW I don't play music out of my bag. I've tried ear buds during some solo rounds and found them to be a bit annoying. They like to fall out of my ears when I'm throwing. I've also noticed that the guys with the sh!tty speakers typically listen to the most obscure music and most of the time it's terrible.

I will not argue with you further. As I stated before, you do not have a leg to stand on and all you can do is talk to try and justify yourselves.

I have to agree with SlowRoll here..partially. Im 16 and i absolutely HATE it when somebody is smoking around me. I dont mind it as much if you can keep it away from me but it still bothers me. I was playing at a local course the other day and started playing with a guy who was smoking a cig when i met him, he had the manners to put it out (only half smoked) and not light up another one untill we finished the round, and i never asked him to. All people should be as considerate of others as this.

I'm pretty sure we all have two here, if we didn't then it would be quite hard to play disc golf and I would applaud that person.

This is what I have to I have to say on the matter. I don't smoke, but if you do, make sure the people you with are fine/ comfortable with you doing it and make sure no kids are around. Whether it is immoral or not most people don't want their kids to be around drugs and I wouldn't either. Illegality doesn't equate to immorality. I'm not sure, but if I had to guess I'd say you're probably religious. Most religious people seem to think that their morals are more right than other peoples. Remember, If you pass judgement on someone or their morals then you are no better than them.

[Brinker085]

Just my two cents.... I think those who pass judgement on others for indulging in certain recreational activities, calling them immoral, and saying that they're causing harm to others may actually be the ones doing the most harm. Take the blinders off, look at what is going on in the world around you, and realize that people are going to do what they want to do. These things are only going to affect your own life as much as you let them. Drugs aren't the problem. Irresponsible people who choose to use drugs and can't manage to conduct themselves in a civilized manner afterward are the problem. I don't think everyone who chooses to spark one up on the course can be accused of being "that guy", they're usually some of the coolest people you'll meet out there on the course.

Mainly young teenagers but you get the occasional adult who should definitely know better and it just makes me want to :wall:



I have no problem waiting but if folks just hang out by the pin after a hole and talk for a min I will let them know I am about to throw on them before doing so. Someone even said c’mon and throw, you can't get that all the way up here! It's not like it's a super long hole (280' uphill about 55') so I let if go and parked it only to see the crew that invited me to do so complaining about how I almost hit them. WTF

[kevinmzane]

false. courses get pulled. sponsorship dollars get lost. the park's become places that aren't family friendly.

Very True. Not that I am against smoking (not that my personal stance even matters, or any of you guys'), but it would be best to keep it as discreet as possible if it is absolutely neccesary to do so due to the fact that it is illegal. We have to project what society views as a good image in order to be viewed that way as a whole...and that DOES matter if we plan on getting funding for new courses, course imporvements, sponsorship dollars (or even just hang on to our existing courses because they DO get pulled). Remember, disc golf courses are a part of the community as a whole and they need to be a positive functioning part of that community in order to flourish.

...my pet peeve: Litterbugs

[vonDrehle]

Played at Reedy Creek in Charlotte recently and almost every hole had trash around the teebox. Many times sitting right on top of the trashcan, that was empty.

[ambroze]

My biggest pet peeve is when you're stuck behind that group of four of five people as a single that just won't let you play through no matter how long they make you have to wait. The course should be enjoyed by everyone, and it is just common decency to let faster players play through, right? Anyways, apart from that, It kind of bugs me when people almost hit you, especially if it is something they do with high frequency.

I agree with you 100% on this one. Happens to me all the time. Sometimes groups of 8 or more play at my new home course and I play by myself al lot and this crap happens. Also, not sure what's up with those people who hang out at the basket and putt around or just will not move on to the next tee when they know there's someone behind them waiting to tee off.

[NDABRUSH]

"Don't talk while the disc is in flight"? Really? Sounds like a fun person.

Dude, it will hear you and go "Oh yeah? Nice shot? How about a little tree branch to teach you a little bit of a lesson." Freaking classic and beyond silly. If someone told me not to talk while the disc is in flight so as to not affect it, I would have to laugh out loud at them. Does it always reverse it? Is so, just say crappy shot man and wait for the sound of chains.:wall:

Really? Come on man.. I'm very easy to get along with, as you claimed you were, but seriously? Getting that upset and "attacking" is uncalled for. Maybe HIS pet peeve is when people don't properly follow forum etiquette. What the people who are complaining are saying (maybe you were not aware of this function) the grey-blueish banner that says "User CP, Community, New DG Posts, All New Posts, Search, Quick Links, Log Out" is where you go. Click on search and a drop down box will appear. Type in any keyword (for example "peeve") and it will show you all of the previous posts or thread titles (depending on which you select) that have ever contained that. In less than 10 seconds you can find if there was an identical, similar, or no similar threads to the one you are thinking about posting. I'm sure that booter probably has a job and can spare the 10 seconds to use the search function, thus rendering your immature written remark invalid, uncalled for, and silly. If there is a similar one, post in that one. It's standard forum etiquette. It keeps the boards cleaner. But a side note, don't resurrect threads that are old, that pisses people off too.

Not to mention he said, "people who make threads when there are existing threads about the same subject" in regards to your "Biggest pet peeve." That is his pet peeve, so he was in turn answering your thread. You got upset because you take part in his pet peeve, just like the people defending blaring music are debating with those who it annoys. Don't ask for a pet peeve thread and get upset when your habits or lack of forum etiquette peeve others off.



I think if we're talking about people playing with music on during competitive rounds, I.E. tournaments, leagues, doubles, etc. Yeah man shut your music off. People are trying to concentrate and not everyone wants you to be the DJ.

But...If we're talking about people playing music while they play on some random weekend afternoon at the course you need to be able to deal with it. They have as much right to do that as you have not to. After all most DG courses are located in public parks.
Why is it that the guy in the group in front of you playing music bothers you so much?

Perhaps I am wrong, but what I gather from your post is that people aren't entitled to wanting to concentrate/play well and not hear everyone be a DJ unless they play in league. (A league that is most likely located, as noted in your 2nd paragraph, in a public park. I understand that you print up \ flyers and have your get-togethers but that does not actually entitled you to the public park anymore than me. Even if you are in league -- I, a casual dger -- 99% of the time will not know your league schedule on my home course or random course I play, so if I drive any amount of distance to play, I should be allowed to play. Whether it be waiting behind you or playing through should not matter. Tournament events are different because they whole thing is publicized and posted and what not but typical leaguers need to get over themselves. I can get with a group of my friends, make a forum/geocities, make them give me $20 bucks a year and it doesn't entitled me to play the course in peace and quiet.

You misunderstand what I'm saying. No one is entitledto not hearing music on the course. What I'm saying is a peeve of mine are the guys that bring the music to leagues to play competitively in leagues. And if you want to play music during leagues go nuts. Like you said and I said above I'm not entitled to not hearing music. I don't think disc golf is a thing that needs to be played in peace and quiet. It doesn't bother me if you talk while I'm putting, it doesn't bother me if you talk while I'm teeing off. The only reason any of the music bothers me is because it's usually some obscure bad sh!t

And yeah if it's league night and you want to play a casual round on league night I have no objection to that. It's a public park. Play disc golf whenever you want. If you want to wait behind the league players that's fine, if you want to play through and the situation permits I.E. there isn't a backup anyway where we're all waiting.

I hope I cleared up the misunderstanding. And if you want to play obscure bad music I'll just find a way to ignore it.

Not to mention he said, "people who make threads when there are existing threads about the same subject" in regards to your "Biggest pet peeve." That is his pet peeve, so he was in turn answering your thread. You got upset because you take part in his pet peeve, just like the people defending blaring music are debating with those who it annoys. Don't ask for a pet peeve thread and get upset when your habits or lack of forum etiquette peeve others off.

Well considering the thread is titled biggest pet peeve in DISC GOLF not whats your biggest pet peeve about the forums. I did take it to offense because I think some people take things on this forum too seriously sometimes and honestly I just come here to talk about disc golf and see alot of other cool things you guys come up with. I'm not worried about some of these little things like 2 similar threads. Its just annoying seeing people come on here and be a ass for no reason when you don't have to even acknowledge this thread if you don't want to. Its not like its hurting you, me, or anyone else on this site if there is a occasional 2 or 3 threads of the same topic. It just starts things for no reason and it could all be left alone if you guys who really are soooo worried about it just opted to not post anything at all.

i'm not exactly sure. define "tournament"

if its the michigan championships or some major or whatever, as i casual player i can see that i'd just get in the way and id respect that.

but there are some groups in the grand rapids, MI area that do "tournament play", but i dont think they are "offical" tournies with sponsors or anything. and they'll basically say "yeah we're playing a tourney today, so we can do whatever we want and jump in front of casual players" etc

I was talking actual PDGA tournaments where I do believe the courses should be closed to the public. Outside of that I think it's anyone's course and that includes something like a club tournament.

When that happens, you have every right to tell casuals to take a hike. When it's not the case (I've played a lot of tournaments where the fee was not payed to have exclusive use for the day), you can inform them that it'll be a long slow day, but they still have the same right to be there as the people playing in the event.

[SteezeOG]

I can get a thumber past 300 some close to 400 with a XxX and a little roll. Baseball background and all but it hurts my shoulder quickly. I've sold the XxX discs I had and now only use the thumber for short approaches that really don't have another line as an option. Never considered it cheating but the backhand is much easier on my body.

[redrum]

I have a couple. I agree with everyone about the group issues. I tend to roll out solo, only because my schedule makes it hard for a lot of DG buddies to throw early in the day. I'll head out and get stuck behind a group of 5-8 "casuals". I use that term respectfully, because we were all there at one time, even though I've come a long way from heading out with a 12 pack and throwing 200' into the left rough. anywho, those who don't realize the proper etiquette and flag me through, i could bean with a disc. not only that, if you ever, EVER have more than 5 in a group. play dubs. So you don't get to see your personal score, big deal. Come out another time. Dubs speeds things up, and is pretty fun.

My other peeve kinda goes along with the first one, last second tee-ers. We all know them...so you're walking to your upshot, and see the group of 4 in front of you approaching the tee pad on the next hole. Figuring you still have to throw, walk and then putt, prolly about 5-7 mins depending. and yet, after you hole out and start walking to the next hole, you see that the FIRST guy is just starting his tee shot. WTF!!!! Like you didn't think I was going to be coming to this hole next? or did you assume I'm as bad as you all are and it'll take me another 30 mins to hole out?

[kevinmzane]

Those are the cheaters I am referring to. :thmbdown::thmbdown:

I see the frustration in watching someone throw a thumber up and over a bunch of trees and skipping a big dog-leg or pulling off a shot that wouldn't otherwise be possible but thumbers and tomahawks can be well mastered shots that also have a certain degree of difficulty to master and is often times a relatively high-risk shot. For the sake of taking care of my body, I don't rely on overhand shots much but I have a pretty well-developed overhand for when it's do-or-die time. I still humbly bow to the guy who pulls it off when nobody else was willing to risk it (or for some reason thought that throwing a disc with any degree of creativity in the game of disc golf was cheating)... what about scoobys, rollers, grenades, etc?
I'm not simply just posting this to express that I disagree with you. I'm just curious now that I've had the chance to play with you and you seemed to be the kind of guy who could appreciate a bit of originality/creativity on the course. What makes a thumber any different?

[Cygnus]

yes. but you need to stop throwing thumbers off the tee. utility? fine with me. drives? NO!

Jealous because you can't throw them.

Rollers is cheating too...

[Rocaholic74]

When I first started playing "disc golf" in college (Muhlenberg) the course was set up to hit obstacles (like the church doors, or hitting the statue in the quad). We threw rollers alot of the time because it took out the scenario of hitting someone in the head (it didn't always work as many people got whacked with discs on that campus...even the Dean of the school got hit once). A well executed roller was a sight to see and covered a lot of ground (we played with lids and not real dg discs). That being said I think almost any shot you can pull off with a DG disc is good in my book. Any way you can get the disc to the basket takes some amount of skill.

[kevinmzane]

Im just hatin. it is annoying when i see a guy throw nothing but thumbers. occasional is fine. every ****ing hole. cheating.... who throws scoobys or grenades from the teebox? havent seen that.

I've played several holes where a grenade or an OH shot off of the teebox gives you a distinct advantage if you can properly execute it. Some, just bad design and some actually have a high risk factor involved.. a scooby on the other hand, I must have missed the part where you said "off of the teebox" lol. If the design of the hole allows it and it gives you an advantage, you might as well take the opportunity to make a move. Not that I'm an awesome player by any means, but I'm rarely outscored by even the most massive crushers of overhand shots and I bet that you don't get too worried about scores in the same situation. They have there holes and we have ours but it is a good shot to have in bag when you can recognize the right time to bust it out unexpectedly.
I agree with you BIG TIME on the over-use of it being annoying. Excessive overhanding is one of the few times that I give out unsolicited advice on the course. Mainly because of the potential harm it can do to your body and it is very important to me that everyone with a passion for the game is able to enjoy it to the fullest for as long as possible.

[JBryant]

My biggest pet peeve is when people are moving or talking when you are trying to drive, upshot, or putt. I know some movement is inevitable but talking seems a bit ridiculous. Just shut your mouth for two seconds. I don't take long to do any type of shot. In tournaments it is usually not a problem.

Destruction of the park is the one that really gets me. I don't care if you write on the basket if you score an ace...whatever that's cool...it doesn't affect how well it catches. But I swear I want to punch anyone in the face who sits on baskets or breaks signage.

My newest course has like 4 of the 9 signs broken already and it makes me so sad. People put so much effort and money into the course and people just destroy it for what...a quick laugh because they think it makes them look cool to their douchy friends?

It makes me look like a bad person, when the reality is that I pick up trash along the way and try and make sure I do my part to keep a public park clean.

Thumbers. cheating thumber throwers piss me off.
I don't get all the OH throw hate, how is that cheating? Why should any style of throw peeve people off? :confused:
Does the PDGA have some rule against advancing the disc in that manner?
What happens if someone plays a tourny completely OH, do they get DQ'd?

The point of the game is to throw around, over, or wherever, to avoid the hazardrs and get to the basket in as few throws as possible, no? How is a thumber an unfair advantage? If you can't throw one every shot, that's your problem, not their's.

I can't throw 400ft. I think anyone who can blast one 400' down the fairway, or clear the hazard I have to throw around is cheating... it just sounds ludicrous.

As long as they advance the disc under their own power, with no mechanical devices, its legit. I don't care if they swallow the disc and fart it into the basket.

[vonDrehle]

I don't mind letter holes at least they upheld the integrity of the original course. When they keep adding holes and changing the holes numbers it just makes things confusing. 6 months later people will say what they did on say hole 6 and they have to specify the new or old hole 6.

Way too many parks cram 18 into a space that is way too small. You end up with mediocre shots and safety issues. You're saying you'd rather see that than fewer holes that offered interesting challenges and buffers between the holes?

I'm gunna add something. When regulars on the course, especially good experienced players, don't participate in the club events or anything. It's more that when they bitch and complain about how the club is being run but don't try to do anything to make it better. Instead, they just say "F*** it" and play by themselves instead. These are people that are a part of the club but decide not to participate. Personally, when I can play with good players it makes me better.

It's more that when they bitch and complain about how the club is being run but don't try to do anything to make it better. Instead, they just say "F*** it" and play by themselves instead. These are people that are a part of the club but decide not to participate. Personally, when I can play with good players it makes me better. When they just don't care yet butch and moan really pisses me off.

This sounds like me. This is a really good point, except when your "club" is five guys (well, three, now, since one moved away and another doesn't play disc golf anymore) who are a old-boys network friend group who don't take advice, communicate, or otherwise do anything to expand, improve, or promote the club they started, chartered, and of which they claim to be the leaders. In fact, I don't even know how to "join" my local "club", except for to follow it on Facebook. They have "sponsored" two Ice Bowls since I have been playing, and while raising funds for a good cause, the tourneys have not included a membership drive, information about the club, introduction of officers, etc., to entice new players into joining or participating in the future. I see these "leaders" on our local course, I play with them, I ask them about such things, I suggest course improvements, to which they smile and nod and do nothing. I've continually extended the proverbial olive branch and offered to be a part, but to no avail. To me, my local club feels more like the Freemasons than a disc golf association.

To my defense, I am the exact opposite of the "F*** it" guy, because I talk to everyone I know about the fun of disc golf. I promote the course. I offer to play a round with someone new who is on course for the first time. I dispense advice and let people try out my discs. But I don't do it in the name of the club. I do it because it's what I should do as a seasoned player who knows the course and the area, and because I love disc golf.

I'd rather play a BA 9 holer twice than play a 14 holer, although I've never come across a 14 hole course. It just seems like such an odd number of holes.

Actually, that's an even number. :p

Seriously though. Here's a 14 holer that I play every now and then.

[Pwingles]

Aside from being thrown into, and people being loud and movig when i putt, basically the biggest peeve i have is when youre club is tryin to improve things and get work done, it always seems like there are no shortage of ideas from all directions but whenever work needs to be done a lot of those people with great ideas are MIA

[Spatula Cornroll]

People who fart just before leaving the tee box, and then I have to throw in a cloud of fecal particles.

[dehaas]

there was a dude on the card ahead of me this weekend that had one of the innova bags with the stool built into it. every time he got up or sat down it made a noise that sounded just like a fart. we got to a bottleneck hole and were sitting behind their group at the tee and he got up right in front of me and i kind of did a double take because i thought he just ripped one on me.

i've been really lucky in tournament play to get put onto cards with easy going people...haven't had a real db on a card in a long time. dude this weekend had something to say about every hole we played. he'd talk about how he just parked the hole in warmups before the round right after he just shanked his tee shot. or how during caj rounds (yeah, he was that guy who referred to casual rounds as caj rounds) he never misses anything inside 40 after clanking numerous 10-15 footers. haha i get the fact that i'm in the back of the intermediate pack because i only play 1-2 rounds a week and have zero consistency because i don't play as much as i'd like. you don't have to tell me grand stories about how you are lights out every other round but this one, you're not that good...deal with it like the rest of us.

[Bhoffman09]

When you remember you left a disc with all your information on it in the fairway and backtrack to get it only to find a group of 8 teenagers had picked it up and pocketed it with clearly no intention of calling. I don't write my info on there cuz it looks cool.

People who get offended by "nice"-ing a disc. If it looks like a good shot, I'm probably gonna say something to compliment you.

[Skunk]

Hitting the chains dead center and have your put spit out right back at you.




........sucks.

[dandaman]

dog poop.

[Bager45]

People that run R/C cars next to a course, even when they see the people lining up for a shot....

[foo_g]

People that loiter by the basket after finishing a hole while I'm standing on the tee pad ready to throw

[Rocaholic74]

This happened to me this weekend which was kind of cool and annoying at the same time. Was playing down at Canby in Delaware...a warm up round before playing Carousel. While playing all you heard was this loud buzzing noise. When I mean it was loud, you could hear that noise clear across the other side of the park. When I get out there, I find two older gentlemen playing with airplanes. The noise was mind blowing. Not to mention that they laid all there equipment right in front of 9's basket so there was no way to play the hole. I was lucky to be playing with 3 really interesting and friendly players. We get out there and ask the guys what in the world they were doing...they were chasing each other's airplanes trying to cut off ribbons from the airplane in front of them...they were partners in some airplane competition that was going to take place in the near future...it was pretty cool to watch these model airplanes but a bummer that we couldn't play the 9th hole.

"grow the sport"

i do not think tournaments grow the sport - AT ALL. it grows a closed system that is almost completely invisible to most of the people out there enjoying disc golf, pushing it forward with awareness, flooding the courses so that new ones get approved and designed at an increasingly artful level.

awareness is a slight byproduct of tournaments. growing the sport means a concerted effort toward awareness, and in that respect i don't think very many people are growing the sport. "grow the sport" is a battle cry for those who desperately seek validation for being a DG fiend. it's a hobby bro, and you're really into it. pulling your socks up higher and wearing more expensive gear deep in the woods so that you can "move up" and drop one of the same two dozen sponsor names to the same three dozen guys you've played against for years ... you're not growing squat.

No amount of players at the 5 original Charlotte courses would have sped growth as fast as getting Worlds (a tournament). That enticed the city to offer up even more properties than were requested of them. Now with 14 courses, DG has really grown in Charlotte. Local players playing local courses is nice and Park's appreciate it, hoping that bonds are voted for each election cycle however, large tournaments bring players and $ to cities. Local governments like those kinds of things. Major Am or Pro events that draw traveling players (Bowling Green) do effect the ability to get new courses developed and contribute to growth.

I've never seen a crowded basketball court equal more basketball courts. 3 on 3 tournaments, leagues, final 4 bids... those kinds of things grow them.

[Grape Drank]

My biggest pet peeve while playing disc golf is water in the tee box. Gravel tees are the worst for this, the water stays for days after heavy rain. The hole was designed to be played from the tee and when you have to line up on the side it's not the same shot at all. In heavily wooded areas this is very frustrating.

Thumbers. cheating thumber throwers piss me off.


I take offense to this. I don't cheat. Just because I can do something most people can't doesn't make it cheating. It just makes you a sore loser. I can just as easily rip a 400 foot backhand, but its hard to beat the beauty of the high artillery shot, through a gap, twist around the trees and tombstone into the green.

Everybody can throw a thumber!!! I've seen some very cool Thumber aces.

People who play safari golf on their local course and feel it is ok to throw over/through/around other golfers who play the course the way it was intended. I like Safari golf, but not when there are several other players playing the course or when there are a lot of pedestrians around. Safari golfers DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY! YOU WAIT FOR THOSE WHO ARE PLAYING THE COURSE CORRECTLY. Even better is when they play safari golf and only have one or two discs in their hands.

:wall::wall::wall:

[ceteebird999]

reviews that give big props to stupid tight wooded courses with tiny trees all over the fairways and no realistic flight paths and the misconception that these types of courses are 'championship' or high level

Amen man.

There is a group that always plays a local course of mine and last time I was there they cut all the way to the 2nd hole basket only to try throwing from there to the 1st hole basket. Very frustrating when I almost nailed one of them when I was tee'ing off from the 2nd tee box.

Now, now....there are two types of Championship DG courses....1) those that require big arms and 2) those that require accuracy and distance.

Now, now....there are two types of Championship DG courses....1) those that require big arms and 2) those that require accuracy and distance.

I can understand accuracy and distance with a balance of somewhat open longer holes.

Circle C is a good example of a balance.

Im not talking about well designed courses in the woods, im talking about the ones with clueless designers who walk through the woods, pick a spot for the tee and basket, and do literally nothing in-between in regards to realistic shot shaping fairways

These are the courses that have 90 degree turns with no landing zones, or impossible S curves with no landing zone, many times these holes are not even long enough to be designed this way. This type of course is loved by newbies because they truly have the advantage when luck is in play. Their 200ft flick usually works out well on these stupid courses and then they come onto dgcr and give a 4 or 5 review.

[pineappletrees]

Mine is when someone says "good run" after I miss a 30ft putt.

[brettricewku]

During casual rounds people stading in my line of sight when I putt. I guess it comes from practicing without someone standing directly beside the basket.

[Mike7807]

I don't really talk that much when I play, I do complement people when they hit a nice shot but other than that I like to keep to myself and think about the next shot. Nothing makes me mad more than people who what to talk about what they did on this hole the last time they played it. People who waste time cause they are tired or just take for ever to tee off. People who throw 4 or 5 disks in front of you and hold up the tee box. I understand people need to practice, but do it in a field, not at the course.

some of your best practice is going to be on the course imo....now if you're holding up the teebox you are an db

[ottawa_adam]

Getting niced, even when I know I threw a sucky shot. I understand that people want to remain positive, but sometimes it just doesn't help.

By far douche bags on the course are my biggest pet peeve.

I had a very obnoxious run-in on the course today. I was playing by myself and some kid across the way was intentionally talking loudly in a manner that I could hear him and he was saying things about how I looked like a child molester and spewing crap like this. I know there are douche bags in all walks of life but so I'll chalk it up to that. Just needing to vent.

[Mattallica]

playing behind a group of 5 today with my twosome, they never once looked back to see if they were holding people up, meh, we just skipped a hole played it from the longs(which not a lot of people play) and took our time.

[Bager45]

when you dont say anything about missing an easy putt, and the people your with say theres no excuse as if you were making excuses in the first place:wall:

[Violets caddy]

Definitely the 18-21yr old white kid douchebag crowd.

The city recently took down all the trees at the douchebag course so now they all come to shore acres and feel the need to try and destroy everything. Suddenly there's 2-3 new broken trees everyday, graffiti everywhere, and cheap beer cans.

There's been several near brawls between us (local league) and dumb f*cking drunk white kids who apparently have no fathers to teach them wright from wrong.
