    Review by plus4db in course Riverbend Park

    4.00 star(s) Just played it So much has already been said. Make sure you take a look at previous reviews. This course is very challenging. Maybe not so much challenging as it is terrifying. There are so many ways to lose a disc that even just as a casual round I really felt the pressure. There is the...

    Review by plus4db in course Schreiner University

    1.00 star(s) Not much there but baskets and potential This is a compact course on a beautiful campus in the center of Kerrville, Texas. It is near food, lodging, and other activities. It is an 8 basket course with quite a bit of potential. There are some excellent possible tee locations and interesting and...

    Would you still consider it an ace?

    No way Practice on a driving range in ball golf is not the same as practice on the links in ball golf nor is it the same as practice holes in DG. If you are on a course hole and you hear a "ching" while standing on the tee, it is an ace. There are all kinds of ball golf exhibitions around full...

    Would you still consider it an ace?

    Definitely an ace. Great job. I'm still waiting for mine. A similar thing happened to me today, but it was just a birdie. We played our round and the sun had set. The course was nearly unpopulated, so we went to throw some of the tougher holes for practice. I ended up beating a very tough hole...

    Thank you. If a course is too tough for your taste, then don't play it. It doesn't make it a bad course.

    review beef

    In the case of the "Z" shaped hole, I would look at it as a fade direction and fade timing problem. A great player could par it and lesser players like myself would just get better from playing it. If every hole on the course is like that then that is the character of the course. Some may like...

    puzzles and percentages Luck always comes into account no matter how good you are. There are only so many variables one can control. Even pros get lucky. But as Branch Rickey said, "Luck is the residue of design." A great player gets luckier because they have learned to control more variables...

    It's either one or the other.

    A while back I was wondering what the difference was between me and the top pros. I have long drives and I have hit the basket from 50 feet. The difference is that they put together strings of great throws consistently. I usually have one great throw every hole. But some rounds click. Just go...

    1 Disc throwers Vs those carrying the bag

    I've taken a bit of good-natured ribbing from my father-in-law and brother-in-law for carrying a bag of discs. I only carry twelve, but I will usually play most depending on the particulars of the course. AsI reach in to my bag for a disc, they will say things like 'Hmm. 350 feet with trees on...

    Help me sell disc golf

    You might also try contacting parks and Rec folks from other towns for statements. They are often enthusiastic about what the sport brings to their towns. I recently contacted DC Coleman at Victorville, CA parks and rec-- [email protected] . He was excited to tell me about tournaments...

    Wii Disc Golf Game

    Cool Thanks for the link. It sounds great. Seems like they are putting a lot of thought into the development. People are already searching Amazon for the Motion Plus add-on sticks. This could be really cool.

    World map of courses

    It looks different to me, too. Had all of the courses within about a hundred miles show up on my fist click. That has never happened before. Could it be something to do with browser memory?

    Wii Disc Golf Game

    Just looked it up. Not exactly what I had in mind, but it sounds like it isn't what anyone had in mind. Is there someone out there who can make a GOOD disc golf video game?

    Wii Disc Golf Game

    If anyone out there has contact with a video game developer, I think the Wii is the perfect platform for a disc golf video game. Can you make it happen?

    Comment by 'plus4db' in media 'Aerodynamic forces on a spinning golf disc. By DrD, http://www3.telus.net/discgolf/disc.png Found at PDGA DISCussion, http://discussion.pdga.com/msgbo'

    There is a gyroscopic effect that occurs that causes any disc to bank or fade in the opposite direction of rotation. If a gyro (disc) has rotational input applied on a horizontal axis, the gyro (disc) will be rotated on the perpendicular horizontal axis. Deflection occurs 90 degrees from the...

    good first putter?

    I just got a DX Aviar and I wonder why I never threw one before. I started with a Champion Aero, but at the time it was my primary disc. As I got better I went to the Lightning Rubber Putter. It flies straight and throws like a normal Frisbee. Maybe that's why I liked it. It also floats and that...
