(Disclaimer: following piece of theory is from a person who lives really close to Siberia and has long enough distance to see outside the spo(r)t. This message is not aimed to Chuck personally but all who read. All the situations in this theory described are fictional. But true. I´m really low...

Last year walking to the 17th tee John McCray had the USDGC in his pocket. With laying up, he could have won it. Instead running four times to the green and taking a 9. I named hole 10 at Bayonet as "Simon trap" before the event. That was one of the holes where you could loose the event but...

And yes, this course fits my plans where Disc Golf becomes exposed outside the current disc golfing community. To be able to film this sport correctly, we need to come out from the wood work. It´s impossible to sell the image to the big audience when playing in the bush. Golf courses were not...

First of all, thank you for your feedback. I asked that from most of the St. Jude players too. So far, I have received 95% good/great feedback. I will refer one of the bigger arms feedback to me: "I’ve played the course three times now and realize that it doesn’t give the advantage to the Power...

Finland won 4 out of 6 European titles last year European Championships. There is a master plan for growth of DG in Europe. As a result of that, there will be 1,000 new DG courses until the end of 2019. US will be the top dog for at least another three years. After that our DG educational system...

Disc Golf being the fastest growing sport in Finland, we decided to prepare a chart that shows the "state of Disc Golf" in Finland compared to the biggest Disc Golf states in US (that gives the best perspective between the two). Numbers have been pulled from PDGA.com (courses, members) and...

Nothing to do with Spider. This variation of the ROC has what is called "Convex Tech". Convex Tech allows for more consistent results in a wider range of launch speeds. With more torque resistance and less low speed fade, this configuration gives you the advantage of more accuracy, reliability...

The very first new INNOVA VROC is coming out next week (Tuesday) and it will be available at Discmania Store. The released disc will be special collector run for European Open 2015, Innova being the presenting sponsor of the event. I predict that anyone who wants to get one of these should be...

One thing I´ve been wondering for a while: People say that Frisbee (and disc golf too) was big in the 80s and there were lots of spectators in those events (Rose Bowl, LaMirada, etc). It was booming back then. What happened? And why do you think it happened? Who were behind the boom? What are...

If 2% of the US population would play Disc Golf regularly, this sport would be recognised almost everywhere. In Finland, we are on the edge of being a mainstream sport and still there are only 1% of the population playing. In Finland, around 90% of the people I talk knows Disc Golf. I´ve been...

The article has collected over 10,000 readers and 2000+ shares/likes. Thank you for your contribution. I have got several contacts already that are potential. I´m glad there are people who are dynamic. That´s what we need now. Couple points I want to make (not in particular order): • The...
