I'm not sure how cost effective it would be (no idea what pricing runs), but have you considered using a foam insert? You could make small cuts to divide the discs and it should keep them secure.

That last disc I found had a name and number on it, but no one from the number ever attempted to call me back. A couple weeks later out on the same course I bumped into a couple guys looking for a disc they had lost the week before. I asked what it was and it happened to be the same mold, just a...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sandbagger I'm perfectly aware of it's meaning having been a part in countless competitive ladders/local tournaments and such for over a decade. It's far more common in the video gaming community imo, but I don't have experience in the DG...

Agreed for the most part. I've never complained about baggers in anything I've played competitively, mostly because they are usually pretty awful and easily passed by if you are bettering yourself (thus the reason they bag). I still think people who legit bag are beyond pathetic, but it's a...

Ego, stupidity, laziness - take your pick. That's what makes baggers so pathetic, they don't want to better themselves and compete, they just want to be on top regardless of whether people are even close to them skill-wise.

"Stupid Ent, stop stepping in front of my disc!" "Don't forget to look eye-level in case a branch caught it." "Frick! Where'd it go? I swear it landed right here!" "Oh suuuuure...now you wanna fly straight..." Pretty common for me and my buddies hehe.

:doh: If they're bagging, sandbagger. If not, quit crying. No need to come up with a different term for people who whiners think are bagging when in reality they aren't, they just had a hot round or knew the course better.

People typically cry bagger because they want an excuse for why they (or someone they know) lost. It's typically a very small percentage of overall players that sandbag, almost always someone jumping to conclusions who don't know the person in question.

I haven't gotten around to looking at any leagues in my area yet as I'm trying to improve my game first, but I'd never go back to one with an experience like that tbh. If someone wants to get so impaired they can barely play then put them in a separate pool for draws so they don't drag people...

I don't see how it'd be any different from a jump putt. As long as your foot isn't in contact when you release you're fine, but since it's from the tee I'm sure you'd be much more susceptible to a foot fault being called since it's easier to notice. Probably be easier to just find a different...

One of the courses I've started playing more is built on the side of a hill so there's a lot of walking up and down (~6k ft 24 hole). I usually stop for ~5-10 seconds and pace my breathing, continue on with my shot, then walk it off the rest of the way to the next tee. I prefer to take my time...

Maybe if they are referring to a walk/run up where their left leg is pushed off before throwing (thus no longer in contact) it'd be legal. If a standstill throw like it seems to be written it's illegal since they have a supporting point in contact outside the tee area.

I excel at finding a way out of the rough/woods. Like the OP my normal course is pretty heavily wooded so I've had plenty of practice throwing from bad lies through trees/foliage. My friends are constantly in disbelief at some of my follow-up shots after an errant throw they would struggle with...

Henline ESP Comet Cryztal Buzzz I definitely wish there were shops closer to my normal courses like the pro shop at Mt Airy Forest. I like to have the disc selection in front of me when trying to make a purchase and I don't get down that direction very often since my normal courses are closer...

This right here. While to an extent it's not the raw distance pros have, but their control and accurate placement, adding mandos to force holes to be played the way they want would easily be one of the best ways to "lower" scores under par. Tbh I don't care much though. -90 or -23, it's still...
