    2023 Innova Blue Ridge Championship at North Cove (DGPT Silver)

    Son played the event and was very impressed with North Cove (he had one warmup round the weekend before). Course is thoughtful and puts a premium on landing 200-250' upshots in the right places, both for par and for birdies. As noted by many, there's not a lot of layouts that are demanding...

    Fast-Filling Events

    Agreed. Slightly different reason, but affecting the outcome wonderfully, is that the upgraded Tournament Manager is immensely easier and saves all kinds of time.

    2021 Tourney Vids

    Holyn is really good and getting better fast. There's lots more good play ahead of her if she wants.

    How to figure out a course

    ...and get the courses pulled by cities and schools that want them as passive and under-developed as possible. As one who has worked with the entities addressed in this case what you say, good-natured and well-intentioned as it may no doubt be, will not necessarily lead to the ends you...

    Fast-Filling Events

    To expand on the "love" aspect, some of us simply like to see things done well that we enjoy. Some of the best SoCal TDs - and we have some very good ones - are all about pleasure and competency as something in itself and a gift to a lot of friends.

    PDGA membership extension

    There are some fine TDs in Virginny That said, we're glad that you're the monkey who has done it. Credible monkeys are quite helpful!

    Old age setting in!

    There's nothing wrong with speed 9s for distance, which is also good news for us as we age. I throw fairly far but I play regularly with a fellow 50-something who still bombs and was one of the world's longest throwers when he was younger. He's been discing down to Valkyries again and finding...

    USDGC/WNC Live Streaming Packages

    My verdict For those of you who paid and were watching you know what you got. For those of you who thought about it, were interested and chose not to...as they say in the South, y'all missed out on a good time. Happily paid for the Gold Package. Have enjoyed the post production condensed...

    [Innova] Corvette

    A bit of a teaser... I throw a lot of Corvettes. GStar, Star, Champ, Glo Champ - they all have slightly different properties. For me, GStar goes furthest and straightest but is also the most susceptible to the wind. Star adds a bit of stability but still goes far. Both of those latter two...

    New Age-Based Competition Divisions Starting in 2018

    It will be interesting here in SoCal as well, where we have a sizable Grandmaster player base. A worthy experiment to try, as several of us are walking/limping testimonies to the difference five-year blocks make. For those who are concerned about diluting the divisions, let the experiment run...
