If it is a charity tournament, I buy the mulligans and use them. I'm in no danger of finishing better than mid-pack even with them. Casual rounds with my friends; if it is a course we haven't played in a while, we each get one mulligan for the whole round, otherwise, no mulligans. (no O.B...

The first time I took my daughters disc-golfing (at ages 5 and 7), I had an old wham-o frisbee and had bought them each a cheapo walmart catch disc. My 5 year old shattered her cheapo disk on a tree on her second throw. So we went back to Walmart and bought real disc golf discs. Innova DX...

variety is the spice of life, they say. For today: Omega SS Ghost (Gravity) Wraith (DX, beat) Tomorrow, who knows?

The Aerobie sharpshooter series. All three of them. Sharpish squared off corners that are uncomfortable to grip, and although they all share the same straight, then dump-fade flight path, they require far too much effort to get any kind of distance out of them.

For the sake of comfort, I remove flashing with a fine grit sandpaper. Disc takes a hit that raises a sharp burr? Sandpaper.

A 1982 BMW R100S is my main ride, with a somewhat street-trackerized Honda XL600R for scratching other itches. I'll have to look back through some of my sketch books. I might have done a pen and ink of the beemer that could be re-done on a disc. Maybe I'll do that instead of the cobra on a...

Queen, those are outstanding. Marm, yes, I am a gear-head of sorts. Mostly motorcycles, but the old 'vettes are undeniably classic. And yes, the gaps in the sharpie palette are almost painful, and I don't have the patience to go wild with impressionist/pointalism/stippling. Looking at the...

Wow. If I had looked in this thread first, I probably wouldn't have posted my efforts in the dye-a-day thread. Marm, that is some fantastic work!

Most overstable I have ever thrown was a champ Ape. I'm a noodle arm, so lots of things look overstable to me, but this was on a whole other level.

but because this is the DYE-A-DAY thread, here is my first dye job. Rit liquid dye for synthetics, denim blue, (plus dawn dishwashing liquid and a tiny bit of acetone) applied with the crinkled plastic bag marbling technique at room temperature with a 20 hour soak time on an originally clear...

almost there... And an eagle on an eagle... [/URL][/IMG]

continuity... Continuing with that theme and sharpie art on dx plastic (this one is a couple of years old now): Classic Rock on a classic roc.

part of a theme, Long time lurker with a test contribution. Sharpie art on dx plastic, an old stingray on an old stingray: [/URL][/IMG]

Play It Again Sports is my enabler. I picked up a slightly used 150 g DX Wraith as a backup to one that is starting to get unpredictably flippy, and a used MVP Axis (proton) that I am really looking forward to trying out.

My first disc was a wham-o frisbee that my mom got with cereal box tops when I was around 8. When my brothers and I were not playing catch or frisbee-tag, we'd safari golf around the neighborhood. I bought my young daughters DX aeros and myself a Classic Aviar and Ace after we shattered a...
