Ha!

Got to be some sort of mistake. I don't remember posting many scores on DG scene, and certainly dont remember what I shot some 4-5 years ago.

...but we both know I'm not good enough shoot a 53 at over 24 holes at Holly Woods!

*sigh*

The first time I revisited Hudson Mills Monster after getting UDisc, somebody had changed all the pars...on the shorts!...to par 4. To this day it remains my "best score" on UDisc. (It wasn't remotely impressive at all, a fairly typical round IIRC).

Holes 2, 5, and 6 immediately come to mind as holes that are closer to a 2.5 than a 4.

Most of the time, I really don't even pay attention to par.

I know what I should realistically expect of myself for a given hole, and whether or not I played it well.

What is par?

It's when you play parfect.

3 :doh::doh::doh:

NO!! NO!! NO!!

Not here! Take that somewhere else.

If only a thread existed that could discuss such a thing...:| :|

People don't realize the real culture wars are fought over Roc v. Buzzz and What is Par?

But what if you could only carry n* discs? HOW WILL WE EVER KNOW WHAT TO DO?























*n = any number of discs between 0 and 10

Hole 7. This is gonna be fun. :D

Mr. President, the people want to know... what disc are you grabbing when 250' out from the pin?

Biden: "come on man... my 129g Mamba is what i use for every shot on the course"

Trump: "the new MAGA mold from Trump Discs Inc. is the greatest disc that has ever been made. it's the best disc, everyone knows it"

Obama: "some people believe a mid is the best option for this shot, some believe a putter is the way to go, some prefer a driver. but let me be clear... i will fight to make sure all Americans are free to use their disc of choice."

W. Bush: "heh... heh... i use the disc that makes terrorists cower in fear... now watch this drive!"

Clinton: "i did not use an illegal disc in any sanctioned tournament"

What about LBJ getting his Disc Golf clothes tailored?

This post made my day!

OK boomer :D

See post #4538 over there.

Pretty sure it's "just 3." :|

Always has been.

Just did a search for Grand River in this thread to see if it has been mentioned yet. Apparently not. So I guess I’ll bring it to y’all’s attention now. Plus, I figured if anyone had any questions about a course in the GR vicinity someone would have asked me by now. Right?

There is a new course in the Lowell area called Grand River Riverfront Park DGC (that is the name printed at the top of this map I have, sounds silly). I found it in u-disc a while back, but only played it this afternoon for the first time. It appears to be mostly ready for play, with the exception of no cement teepads & no signage. It could still use one or two more work days to clean up the fairways of loose bits here & there.

I no longer have a phone, so I had to go old school & print off a map that was in the pics of u-disc. Wow, after 300+ courses under my belt, my navigation skills did not fail me (guess those land nav classes in Army basic are everlasting). History has proven that I am no reviewer so I will not do so. Suffice to say, I enjoyed the course & look forward to playing it again once it is finished. And if anyone is looking to play it with a guide, hit me up. But wait until after this blizzard we’re supposed to be getting this week.

I might take you up on that some time in March or April.

Maybe even hit this Swan Acres DGC, https://app.udisc.com/applink/course/32387 while we're out there (only about about 7 miles from Grand River Riverfront Park), if it can be arranged.

The way the weather is going lately, might have to wait for April. :gross:

I might have to wait significantly longer...

Just a heads up. A new private pay-to-play course is coming to West Michigan this year...Manistee to be exact! This course was built by Tom Organ. If that name sounds familiar he was heavily involved with the course creations and upkeep of the Mason County(Ludington) courses in the past when the club was at its peak. He is an amazing designer and great player and I personally can't wait to play and see what he has built!

Here's #8! Only one more to go for the former Artprize course bound for Marquette!

Right up Dave's alley :D

Dave definitely approves!!! I love it!

Hey tomjulio. You seem to have your finger on the pulse of Ludington and area as well as anyone. Another thread is discussing Bill at Flip City's decision to end camping on site. Any rumors of why he is now taking this stand?

Rocket Disc Golf WANTS.

University of Toledo Rocket Disc Golf Club is always interested in the support of rocket enthusiasts. ;) Shirts n discs always for sale!

Interesting...The U of Toledo NASA USLI rocket team comes up to our field in Three Oaks, MI to fly their rocket now and then.

Had some great talks with Bill last year about the challenges of owning a private disc golf course during this booming growth phase of disc golf. As with everything, there is always a certain small percentage of people that ruin the good things for the rest of us and that's basically what happened. It just became too much to take on for Bill, especially after his long deserved retirement and the wanting for peace and relaxation after so many years of working in the real world. The course is his home, can you imagine having random people just driving into your yard and expecting camping accommodations each and every day of the summer? I think Bill is trying to get back to what made Flip special in the first place and I 100% support his decisions as of late.

My son is involved with the team AND frolfs. :hfive:

They'll be going for their level 1 certs soon, but Columbus is going to be more convenient for them for that. However, if they decide on Three Oaks for a future launch, I may have to volunteer to drive :D

He also continues to be welcome on the frolf team should he choose to join :D

If they come up to our Michiana Mayhem launch in a couple of weeks I will be the one to sign off on their L1 certs. ;)

Thanks for the insight, man. Tis a shame, but I am happy that Bill still has the energy and passion to make Flip happen.

News on the new course across the river from Powder Mill....
We were approved for a Michigan Economic Development Corporation matching grant of $36k!!! We are in the middle of our fundraising campaign now, and have to raise $36k by May 30 to get the match. So, please pass this along to anyone you know who may be interested in donating or becoming a sponsor on the course.

I live in Dearborn and the local, city owned golf course has been closed for a year and a half. Flooding has decimated most of the course due to HUGE log jams on the Rouge River, running through the course. The course is essentially divided into halves by Telegraph road. This course has been around for decades. Well, a group of us has recently been making a pretty big push to get a course put in on the half that has seen the most damage and flooding. A terrific opportunity. Room for a fantastic course, with ponds and a river to work with. A clubhouse with food, liquor, showers a patio.... We spent quite a bit of time pitching the business, recreation and community benefits of such a venture. After a secret neighborhood meeting with the mayor, NIMBY's seem to have really busted up our efforts. Even more frustrating is that I am literally IN the neighborhood. The mayor ultimately telling us....guys, the city of Dearborn has NO interest in disc golf. Very sad, an incredible opportunity gone by the way side. But, as I said in a the Kentucky basket thread, you win some, you lose some. The city decided to put in the effort and open half of the golf course...the half opposite of our proposed disc golf course. Here is the announcement video.
