My wife and I watched the early version without commentary as well, and were pleasantly surprised. At first we thought we'd miss the play-by-play, but it was just as good without it. I agree that sometimes Jerm and Paul go off on weird, silly tangents that become distracting.

The group did eventually get a putter to fall through the same spot. One of the commentators in post-produced coverage mentioned that the basket may have been damaged previously, and repaired (re-welded) in such a way to leave the opening a bit smaller on one side and a bit larger on the other...

If you have a premium membership you can see who gives you thumbs up and thumbs down. Since sisyphis was one of the reviewers that got a thumb down, and he mentions that this person did it, he would know. And it isn't much of a stretch to imagine that he gave the others thumbs-down as well...

That's just a jerk move on his part. Both the title of his review and the fact that he thumbed down previous reviews.

I spent two full summers in Maine and the private owners of these courses take their rules pretty seriously. I think that one aspect of the "no dogs" rule is insurance related. No dogs, lower premiums. But I am also aware of a couple of courses that decided to allow dogs on a trail basis...

I thought that this was an interesting pro: Catch-and-release trout fishing: single, barbless hook w/ approval from Pro Shop. But only if this was (GFSR) Good Fishing Spot Review.

I have seen a major uptick in votes cast per review since the beginning of COVID, and especially in positive votes. I recall some discussions about folks doing more reviews, and generally being more encouraging and positive on the site. There was also a post from someone who published ratios of...

I thought that this had been settled. Licorice putters...

I agree 100%. I recently lost a disc on my local course, and a well-meaning guy found it and took it home with him, about 45 miles away! I made arrangements to pick it up off of his front porch the next week when I was over that way, but he had forgotten to put the disc out. It was another...

3.00 star(s) Excellent Terrain, Fun Holes, Some Issues This course is built on an interesting tract of land that includes tall mountain forest, open meadow, a deep bisecting creek, and rolling terrain. A great combination for disc golf. The holes lengths vary nicely from 194' to 478', with a selection of...

2.00 star(s) Great for a Putter Round This type of course can be tough to review, as it is intended as a family-friendly pitch-and-putt and not a challenging disc golf track. Hole lengths are very modest, with most playing in the 150' - 200' range. Very nice new Veterans baskets in a striking red and blue...

3.00 star(s) Showing its Age This course plays through various sections of a pretty city park. The park offers a combination of acres of mowed grass along with scattered mature trees, which are a plus in West Texas! Virtually no brush or undergrowth to deal with. The course is bisected by a shallow...

3.00 star(s) Good Neighborhood Course Good mix of open and tight, wooded holes. The wooded holes play through fairways cut through the local cedar trees, so if you get off of the fairway things get tight, fast. Good mix of straight, right-finishing and left-finishing holes that require some touch to get the...

Something that I've done in your situation is try something different. Leave all of your drivers at home. Play midrange and putter only rounds. Then play putter only rounds. Or play a round where you use a forehand drive on every hole (if you are backhand dominant). Mix it up. It can be...

4.00 star(s) Hill Country Fun This course is set in a beautiful section of the Texas Hill Country just west of San Antonio, which means limestone hills, thick "cedar" trees, and a clear stream running down the center. The disc golf course is placed mostly in the flatter bottomlands not used by the zipline...

We had a dog who was crazy about chasing balls, and our property had a pond. When a ball would roll into the water she would go right in after it, sticking her head under the water and searching around for the ball. We would also paw around until she found it, and then up she'd come with the...

As have I. In the past 18 months I have started going to the reviews on home page 3-5 times a week and giving thumbs up to those are well written. Many go to bronze, silver and gold TR's, but I make sure to not overlook newer reviewers as well.

I've noticed a huge change as well. Up until 2020, I was getting 3 - 8 thumbs per review, with a few exceptions for popular courses. My last two reviews (11/2020 and 2/2021) have received 17 and 18 thumbs up respectively. Something has changed with the culture on DGCR, perhaps COVID related or...

Yes, I was scratching my head over that one. Many of our toughest native grasses are perennials, and just like perennial broad-leafed plants they do in fact make seed, and keep on living!

2.50 star(s) Newly Refurbished for 2021 The nine-hole course is built in an essentially unused area of the Schreiner University campus. It is long for a campus course, averaging 411' per hole from the blue tees with a couple over 500'. The white tees knock the distance back to a 271' average length. Nice...
