4.50 star(s) Destination Course First I'll say that some parts of this review carry over from the old layout, and that I'm not basing my rating on signage or tee pads that are certainly on the works but not yet installed, but on the quality of disc golf available here.. Scenic and very representative of the...

3.50 star(s) Unique One concrete tee pad per hole, with two shorter natural tees; excellent descriptive and accurate signs; bathroom available nearby with water fountains (at the playground). Benches available. Navigation wasn't a problem. Two 9 hole loops that start and end at the parking lot (near...

3.50 star(s) Good mix on scenic land One concrete tee pad per hole, mostly clear and accurate signage, bathroom available nearby (at the playground), and most importantly some solid golf holes both long and short. Scenic and very representative of the Georgia landscape for visitors from other regions...

3.50 star(s) Strange Attraction All the amenities mentioned in other reviews.. Portolet, benches, multiple tees and multiple pin placements. Driving range with basket, in addition to putting basket. Guy selling discs out of his RV at 10am on a weekday. Very good variety of shots required off the tee. Fair...

4.00 star(s) Best in Atlanta Solid rubber composite tees, great baskets. Excellent golf lines through a great variety of landscape. Great use of elevation and existing landscaping, such as the creek that runs through the course in a hand stacked rock walled culvert. Nice signs. 3 pin placements, two tees per...

3.50 star(s) Good -well maintained -nice clean multiple tees, often with brooms handy -good intermediate course, with many holes being friendly to natural disc fade and pretty wide fairways on the wooded holes. -very pretty, and quiet.. Except for kids on the zip line, which sounds fun. I was the only...

Ok, I understand what you're saying, hopefully I can make my body figure it out. And to be clear, I'm not knocking the video, I think that guy is pretty great. I just have a hard time translating all that into a physical fluid action, not being a super athletic guy. Thanks.

Thanks very much.. Went out again this weekend and worked on "the move".. I can't really feel it, though it may be I'm trying to do too many new things at once. What worked best was when I mostly kept things as they were, but tried to leverage up from my plant foot and clear my hip. Had a couple...

Thanks.. Yes, hyzer is on purpose to hit the line I'm throwing.

So, I've been playing just over a year, and have spent a ton of time reading various threads here and on dgreview.. hammer pound, rail, etc.. though looking at these videos (the first I've seen of myself) you wouldn't know it haha. Although I'm trying to find the feeling of loading up for the...

For the past year (my first playing dg) I threw exactly as you describe. I would line up my stance, hold the disc at the release point and angle I wanted, and visualize the line for a few seconds, then reach back and hold it until it felt right, then drive. There are so many things to think...

3.50 star(s) An Historic Gem -A piece of disc golf history, designed by Ed Headrick in 1977. One of the first on the east coast. -The baskets, which were very old and notorious for spitting out discs, are now being replaced. All but three or four holes are new, as of 9/15/13. -There is also a new...

I've had similar problems with tomahawk shots, being that they land on edge and roll. I have a decent forehand, so I don't really understand what's missing.. Usually release around 11 o'clock. The odd thing is, I can throw the exact same disc (firebird, shock, flow) as a thumber and it behaves...

I throw everything from a standstill, and if I try even taking a single step everything suffers. I'm sure this is because I don't practice throwing with steps, and I imagine I will add steps in the future, but for now simply dropping the front heel is enough for a good weight shift. I find that...

Good, glad it helped.. Again, I'm certainly not an expert, and I may have totally revised what I do now in another six months as I learn, but the steps I described were where I saw the most obvious gains. Getting them all to happen naturally through muscle memory is another story.. Like many...
