Last year, I was playing a short par 3 and I noticed a bunch of geese gathered to the left of the basket as I threw my tee shot. There were a bunch of teenagers sitting on a blanket to the right of the fairway, about halfway to the basket. The geese seemed a little unsettled as I putted out...

5.00 star(s) Great, Challenging Course. Great People Too! I recommend this course highly. That being said, it is a little out of my league. I am a 55 yo player who has been playing five years. My max drive is about 300', and I have some ability to shape shots. There are a couple of water carries that I...

It sounds like a nice place. My Mom's family is from Michigan, but I have been there only once.

I can't imagine tour life is appealing to anyone over the age of 25, unless you're raking it in, which pretty much doesn't happen in DG. If she had played at the same level in the LPGA tour, it would be a different story entirely.

It's hard to imagine disc golf in anyone's career plan, outside of maybe three women and ten men. I'm more surprised at the Sweden/Michigan move. Such a culture shock.

I always wondered what became of Ragna Bygde. Solid player, European Championship, three Swedish Championships. She just came up on my LinkedIn account as a 3rd contact (as in, I'm connected to people she's connected to, twice separated). She is a Teller Supervisor at a bank in Kalamazoo...

What you said. Although I aspire to throw farther, in the end, I want to maximize what I do best.

Man, I would love to be able to throw like that...........

Lots of good advice here, thanks. I have done quite a bit of field work, but there is something I am missing on the drive. Distance has not come easily, despite the fact that I am tall and have a big wingspan. I can throw a standing forehand from an open stance to get out of trouble, but I...

Your better score is an indication of your potential. Maybe you should start thinking that perhaps they aren't so much "better" but simply more consistent. At least with the friend I play with the most, it is the opposite. He has 100 feet on me on the drive, so when he is firing on all...

I'm jealous that you have a FH. I haven't figured that out yet. The absence of a FH has definitely made me develop turnover shots, though....

I picked up the game at 50, and started playing rounds regularly at 52. I'm 54 now, and I'm not where I thought I'd be at this point, but I think I'm moving forward. Two years ago, I was maxing out at 300', and I figured I would be throwing 400' by now, but not even close. 330-340' is about...

Okay, I don't participate in Black Friday Silliness. Getting up early and jostling around for position like a sheep headed to the slaughter is not my thing. Yesterday, I played an early round, and afterward, I stopped at PIAS to rummage through their factory seconds. As I was going through...

It's hard to tell. I had the mistaken impression that they were made in the USA, but a closer look at these showed they were made in Thailand. Quality control is hard to exercise when your manufacturing is done on the other side of the earth, and there is a language barrier.

I bought some Keen Targhee lows exactly one year ago, based on what was being said in this and other disc golf forums. The best fitting shoe I've ever had, hands down. They didn't even have to be laced tightly; they just cradled my feet. After just a couple of weeks, I noticed a bit of...

Last week, I was finishing a hole at a local course, and to get to the next hole, I had to walk through a large gaggle of Canada Geese. About 50 feet off to the side, a bunch of teenagers were sitting on the grass, just hanging out. As I was walking among the geese, one of them got cranky and...

I only bag discs in easy to find colors. Hot pink, bright yellow, fluorescent green, light blue, white. I avoid orange, which looks great until the fall, when it blends into the foliage. I made the mistake of buying a tie-dyed ROC3 once. Lost it the very first throw. I don't know what...

4.50 star(s) Challenging, Technical and Beautiful First off, the location is gorgeous, right in the middle of the Green Mountains. You don't see quite the vistas you do on the more open Fox Run course, but it is still an an amazingly beautiful place to play. Pro Shop: The pro shop has a nice selection of...

That is epic.
