    [Selling] [OG] 1st Gen Gorilla Boy Kong

    ************SOLD************* Bought this a while back here at the marketplace. This is the original version of the Kong in Kelly Green. Apart from some dust from sitting on my shelves this is in great condition. Strap included. Thanks for looking.

    Who would be interested in a true disc golf sling bag?

    I like the sling bag format for my photo stuff. Think it might make a nice light-weight platform for discs. For my use-case(which would be a quick afternoon round[%80 of what i do]...not an all-day trip or tourney day), I'd also like to have: - optional, removable stabilizing strap (a la...

    Huntsville/Birmingham Alabama

    If I were to only play one course in Huntsville, it'd be Redstone Arsenal. It takes a bit of planning, however. The base is closed to the public, but the local club has an arrangement that their members can escort non-members on the course. They are super helpful about it, given enough...

    Poison oak, poison sumac, poison ivy, chiggers, and ticks. A great way to be misery!

    I used tecnu for a while too, but then discovered that dawn works just as well, and it's $16 for literally a lifetime supply if you happen to shop at Sam's club. I'm on the same bottle I bought 5 years ago. I also keep these in the trunk of the car for when I'm not immediately headed home...

    Got a call about a lost disc - first time ever!

    Out of the tons of discs that I've lost, I've been called ONCE. After realizing that it just doesn't happen, I've quit playing with anything I can't replace off the shelf or easily from the marketplace. I've successfully returned dozens...some via mail, most in person when they were found...

    Course Development Quandry

    I'm not a fan of courses that exist just to exist. At best, you have a site with some baskets that never get used, except for grilling or teenage shenanigans...none of which will paint the right picture of the sport so that "they" get on-board and want to branch out to other parks. Worst...

    Tournament Play and Minor Infractions.

    I'm gonna throw out another THIS for this post. Obviously some do not agree, which illustrates another reason that everything should be called: Every player has the responsibility to defend the field. If we don't call violations on ourselves, then no one will. Another way to look at this is...

    Man dies while playing disc golf

    Those of us with no direct experience with how a power co deals with problems(myself at least) seem to be differentiating between FIXING a problem(i.e. restoring power) and DEACTIVATING a live line. I've always been under the impression that the the latter would be a quick operation and could...

    [Latitude] Best Beginner Latitude 64 Driver?

    personally I found the river to be pretty sensitive to nose angle. Before I was really able to regulate my nose angle, I had mixed results. When I got it right, the disc was money. When I didn't, it was a mess. Can be rough when you're looking for it to turn or flip flat and it doesn't...

    Considering Moving from Open to Am1?

    Can only speak for myself, so ymmv, but I would feel much more rewarded and accomplished if I was able to overcome my mental slump without resorting to being a "big fish" to regain my confidence. Part of playing a sport at the top level(a big part) is being able to overcome obstacles, whatever...

    Issues with throttled down throws

    above all, ensure you still accelerate through release, even if final velocity is less than full speed. make sure you don't get to your final effort amount before the release and try and "coast" through the rest of the throw, or worse, try to back off mid-throw. always accelerate. there are...
