    What is the worst disc ever made?

    Gimmicky** Quest is the gold standard of gimmicky. But, the DT Inferno was a pretty solid forehand disc IMO. That being said, I don't miss it in my bag.

    Highbridge Hills - Wisconsin

    My buddy and I definitely had some tweekers asking for a guy named 'Dilly' (old site assistant?) when we stayed at the Bunk house all those years ago (2012 or 13). Our HBH experience actually started this thread haha and it was that moment when we said, "Head to sandy point tomorrow?". I'm...

    Had my first encounter with a Pro, is this normal?

    Iwould imagine it’s a part of this sponsorship agreement that he’s not allowed to sign competitor plastic. I’m not sure though. Maybe an autograph might be considered an endorsement or something silly like that... I’m surprised he didn’t just GIVE you one of his used or even NEW discs. I be he...

    Highbridge Hills - Wisconsin

    Weird yet epic is a great description. I was on the trip that started this thread and my friend and I walked around trying to find out how to get a cart when we arrived. The place looked post apocalyptic with the honka looking half finished and rundown, the pro shop dusty and empty, the carts...

    shoulder dislocation, how long is recovery?

    Also, after I tore my right labrum (2012) I was playing DG about 1 week after. SLAP Tear and a Bankart lesion is what I did. How long YOU are out depends on what other trauma may have occurred as a result of the dislocation. See an Ortho, maybe get an Arthrogram if you can afford it and talk...

    shoulder dislocation, how long is recovery?

    I’ve dislocated both of my shoulders and I date a Doctor of Physical Therapy who rehabs shoulder surgery patients. I’ve had Labral repair surgery on both. When you dislocate your shoulder, you tear your labrum (in rare cases, you may not though). The labrum is a ring shaped piece of cartilage...

    Working out and general fitness

    I agree with this guy. You'll have increased stamina (play longer with more energy), great core strength (more power) and excellent flexibility:thmbup: (injury prevention, for me at least). Great post!

    What is the oldest course still alive?

    West Park in Joliet was put in in 1979 and is still going. The first permanent course in Illinois was Gillson Park in Evanston, IL (or Wilmette?) from 1977-1983. It was a Steady Ed as well. 2 of the baskets from Gillson were purchased off Craigslist and are now practice baskets at Fairfield...

    He's not kidding. We didn't know whether we even had a place to sleep until 36 hours before left. He called me from Minnesota saying his neighbor would meet us at the Honka. He also didn't have a dedicated helper at the time though.

    Destination cities for quality AND quantity?

    My favorites so far in the Midwest: QuadCities: Davenport, IA/Milan, IL. Great courses within 30 mins of each other. Camden II, Westlake are stand outs Ludington, MI: Mason county Parks has 2 really fun courses (technically 3) on one property, Leviathan is close. Flip City is 50 min drive and...

    Sidearm technique with shoulder mobility problems?

    I agree with the legs & hips part, but good luck with the elbow out man... It's bad body mechanics.
