    [Drivers] Daredevil Ogopogo

    I have used the Ogopogo and it is like a floppy firebird. It is a little less overstable than the firebird but close. Extremely floppy like a vibram soft rubber. It will almost never skip. Fun disc and great in the rain or cold. I tried a prototype of this disc so it may have changed a bit...

    Disc Golf Rule Nazi Stories

    The guy called the penalty on himself. I guess its good on him but I think there needs to be some consideration for the group behind. The point of putting a timer on a lost disc in play is to keep the pace of play up is it not? Climbing back up a mountain and re teeing does the opposite

    Disc Golf Rule Nazi Stories

    In one of my first tournaments I was watching a card mate trying to putt out of a particularly nasty bush. Another card mate came over to me and whispered "that's a foot fault. I'll call him on it if he makes the putt." I stopped the player trying to putt and made sure he was doing things...

    What is your winter weather limit?

    I played most days this past winter here in eastern Ontario. Average temp in January and February was around -15 degrees Celsius (5 Fahrenheit) Some days were a lot colder and I still went out. That storm looks bad that you are going through. It was 27 and sunny here today (81 Fahrenheit)

    any suggestions?

    With the Rampage I consistently throw around 350-380'. I have only had the lace this winter so I’m not to sure but my katana last summer I was pushing over 400' when I had a lot of room to work with. I keep 2 ESP buzzz's in the bag both are pretty beat and I am considering the change to Z just...

    Executing The Dream

    I agree this website has been a great help for identifying what those elements are. I have not been playing long and haven't played a lot of courses so it is hard to visualize. The sport is not very popular up here. My local club serves an area of around 1.3 million people and has 40-50 active...

    Executing The Dream

    This thread is a good read. I bought my house and land this past November and I am planning the same thing. I put 9 holes on the existing cleared land already (I had to clear 2 holes to connect things) I am in the process of designing the rest of the course. I have 95 acres In eastern Ontario...

    Ask John Houck about Course Design & Development

    Hello John, I am in the process of designing a course in my back yard. I have 95acres of thick bush with almost no sight lines. The land was logged in the 70's so the trees are not huge and we had an ice storm up here in 98 that destroyed the canopy so in between the larger trees are saplings. I...
