    What's the highest concentration of disc golf courses?

    Its sad, but if you want to play in the Chicago area, you have to go to West Park in Joliet/Rockdale (trees and elevation), or the course in Mokena (trees). Its a drive though. End of story.

    You have unlimited funds, and authorization...where would you put a DG course?

    Moon. In an oxygenated space dome. Thing would be huge. Each hole would be an average of 1000 feet long and I would have a jet pack to get around.

    Indoor distance record

    My indoor record is 10'. It would have been much longer, but I hit a wall.

    Playing Alone...

    I completely agree. Additionally, playing alone is how I learned to throw for distance. And practicing with someone just doesn't for me.

    How do you handle it when people are a-holes?

    If a group is going slow and being inconsiderate, ie taking that second shot as a practice while two groups are waiting at the tee or not signalling you to play through when they lose 2 discs on the hole and are going on 5 minutes of looking for them, again while 2 groups are waiting at the...

    Forehand Inferiority Complex

    Oh yeah, about the subject of the thread... I am a primary RHBH thrower, but I started DGing only throwing RHFH. So now I have a really good combo game, although I am working on my anhyzer. I think you should be proud of your FH prowess because as was already said "LHBH players aren't...

    Forehand Inferiority Complex

    I was that guy the second year I played. Third year it was only for my approach shots (damn accurate, by the way). Now, I suck at it.

    Tell a Disc Golf Joke

    Me too... But, I think it would have to depend on her preferences in between the sheets. Some women would want a RHYNO, some would want a GROOVE (while listening to some jazz), a sadist would respond to a CRUSH (ouch), and a submissive or masochist would be looking for a BOSS, DESTROYER or...

    What is the Best Putter?

    I'm personally looking into getting a Voodoo or a Wizard, either SS or SSS. I think I will do SS to start, but I am apprehensive since I have to order online due to the severe lack of selection at the stores in my area so I can't get a feel for which I would prefer.. Oh well. FU Chicago!

    It's gotta be the shoes.

    Depends on the type of teebox for me. I only wear NB's, but I'll wear a pair of older ones when I play at a course with gravel boxes, because the more worn out soles allow me to get a faster spin (on my body) during my throw, and I wear some deeper tread shoes for grass teebox courses so I...

    distance or accuracy?????

    My friends would always make fun of me because I have always been able to drive much farther than anyone we played with, but would end up throwing (...) my stroke leads away because I couldn't putt for anything. So we would do doubles tournaments where I would pair up with a guy with an...

    Disc Golf Tattoos?

    I played a couple rounds with a guy that was going to get a tatoo on his arm of an eagle soaring through the air while clenching a basket in its claws. I don't know if he actually went through with it, but he sounded dead serious. I want a tattoo, but I don't think I could get anything DG...

    Off-the-wall idea thread

    Combo the drive-by putting with ball course play... if your disc is within 50-100 feet of the hole, you can either putt as usual, or choose to drive-by on the cart. If you make it in on the drive-by, you get one stroke off your score for that hole.

    Off-the-wall idea thread

    There are only 2 DG courses in the Chicago city limits. One is in the quad of a technical college, and the other one is on an 18 hole golf course. Rent a cart for 5 bucks, and get nasty looks and remarks from the ball golfers. It definitely take the paranoia out of drinking since you aren't...
