James Conrad #17295 Matt Orum #18330 I was in my mid 20s when I started playing. Basically played with Barsby #15857 as he grew up in Norcal (not to mention a bunch of other great players lol). I got my number right around the time he did but guess 2000 people jumped in-between us. I'm #17867

Golfers must be aware...we're the only one's who have the power to throw or not. Park users have no idea about ducking, etc. My local course has pedestrians constantly. We always give right of way and send spotters to make sure. This should be standard. At sporting events when you buy a ticket...

Hey everyone! Thanks for the discussion and all the twists and turns it's gone in. There's some really good points and observations...but no one has been able to answer my original question pertaining to what the PDGA ruling would be. My feelings are it doesn't matter if the creek is to narrow...

It's not practical to always ask the TD or course designer. 1000s of courses across the country are played without ever seeing a TD or designer. The only real time OB is designated happens during a tournament (and by the PDGA). The other times 95% of people refer to the rule book or just make a...

Hey all. Had a situation the other day which I'm not totally clear on (and the rule book only partially speaks to, go figure :confused:). We have multiple creeks running thru our course...all designated OB. One creek is 3ft wide with a 4" thick foot bridge running across the water, maybe 1ft...

I can see many sides to this argument. Yes, the TD should be the deciding factor and OB shouldn't be left for the player to assume where and when it ends. If OB is going to be strung up, it should have a clear beginning and end. I've played a few tourneys where rope was laid on the ground with...

I went home and tried this putting/approach style...I was banging 40 footers left and right! It's very easy to tell if your'e foot has hit the ground before release. Maybe not to other people watching but I'd guess my foot was 3-4" above ground at the time of release. I purposely tried to put my...

Thanks for the discussion. We agreed with the ruling without much argument. I figured it'd be a good discussion though. Couple thoughts: How can there be no benefit of doubt for the player pertaining to hitting in bounds on the fly but then if there's physical evidence of a mark in the bank...

Yeah, nature can be weak some times :doh:

Scenario over the weekend: 250 ft. down the fairway there's a 3 ft. deep creek running across from right to left. The opening of the creek is also around 3ft. at the top. There's white paint defining the OB line at the waters edge in the creek. A drive clearly enters the creek on the fly and...

I've seen so many crazy aces over the years, to many to count. Here's a couple. At Felton just outside of Santa Cruz, Ca. they used to have a much higher top of the world shot. It's a vertical tunnel shot, and I mean vertical. My buddy who's lefty was known for out of body shots...aka who...

I don't understand why people take it so personal when rules are called. If people don't like the PDGA rules, play casual rounds. Problem solved! I've only called one courtesy violation in 20+ years of tourney play. During the 2011 Pro Worlds I was called on a stance violation while putting. I...

Have you guys received any Gstar Aviar Drivers? You recommended a few colors to look for with maximum pearliness in the P&A but have you received any pearlies in the Driver? Max weight. Thanks!

I've always carried two to three Innova putters. Aviars have a great range with not much difference between the discs. I think you can achieve consistent results with changing the putter but not your stoke. As Kodachrome stated, we're looking for consistency, so doing the same motion over and...

I was concerned about the wetness when I first got my bag (one of the first runs) so I proceeded to spray the bottom of my bag with Flex Seal...three coats. Takes a while to dry between each coat but I've been really happy with the results. Still has a fabric feel and movement but has enough...
