@Steve West Yes, you get relief from fire ants. Since you got bit, I'd say you didn't take it far enough back to actually get relief. Take more next time. I got bit retrieving the disc that landed on the mound, I guess I could have just abandoned the disc and left it to the ants. No bites were...

I was fortunate enough to get relief in my second tournament, that maybe I shouldn't have. My disc landed on the front half of a very large fire ant mound. My lie would have had me stand right on the mound. I asked the card (MA3 or 4) for casual relief and was granted away from the basket in...

2 foot faults were called on the same hole sometime during the weekend. I think Saturday maybe Sunday on 2nd or 3rd card. One on Ryan and then another on the very next throw. In both cases they both stepped on their disc causing the front to come up before the disc left their hand

@ skypup Get a fusion or fission Hex and both will be pretty straight with a slight fade in the end. For comparisons of many midrange discs watch Sis Sided Discs on YouTube. He has 2 videos where 28 mids are tested for straight flight and are arranged afterward as OS, straight, or US. It's part...

I will go to great lengths to help find a disc, I have not always received equal effort. In my most recent tournament while searching for a lost disc, 2 card mates decided that it was more important to pick berries and eat them then put in more then a cursory glance. I even retrieved discs out...

I have enjoyed watching this weeks action. It is great to see a pro pure a shot down a tight wooded hole. It's also refreshing to see that they are human also and clock second or third available tree and get a huge kick left or right, like the rest of us mortals. -11 after 3 rounds is a good...

I'm playing in a NADGT tournament in a couple weeks and have looked at every hole and picked the ones to play for par from the get-go. I play in the 60+ division and have an average drive of about 300'. We do play the shorts. There is a 306' Par 3 with water carry the last 75' minus the 10'...

Makes one want to play NADGT instead of worlds, you get an auto invite for a win and could get one for a podium finish+ depending on how many players are signed up in your division. Nationals are held in Austin around the end of October. There have been some negatives surrounding this Tournament...

I would check the rules for the Worlds qualifying. In the NADGT if you win one tournament in a division you get an invite to Nationals. A buddy of mine won the Colorado State Championship in 70+ as the only one signed up and got an invite to NADGT Nationals in Austin Texas. Sometimes invites are...

As noted above I use PDGA live when possible. I had to reboot my phone twice during the last tournament to fix one bar signal issues. We should all also be aware of PDGA live problems, like crashing during Chess.com? I recently signed up both my sons for the PDGA. Interesting how they both got...

Shaving scores. Had that problem with the one guy keeping a paper card in a tournament, the rest of us used PDGA live. On the tee of the next whole this guy routinely miss-counted his strokes. It was the last round, and I had worked my way up to chase card +1. Playing with this guy who was E...

True. Rule 808. Each player must keep an independent scorecard recording scores after each hole for the entire group. A player who refuses to keep score may be subject to disqualification. Rule 1.05 (G) The Tournament Director must provide a scorecard to each player in the group. These...

I'm 61 and have the same distance with most of my discs. My mids go 250', 8 speed TL3 about 275 and 13/14 speed drivers about 300". The question for each hole is the variance of a 13/14 speed driver worth the extra 25-50 feet for the current hole? At Throw down the mountain at Olympus I nearly...

I believe the rules state that every player must keep score for the entire card. That can be done by any means including rock, paper, Udisc, PDGA live, or on toilet paper. A TD might not like that you are using UDisc but it's allowed. I can see where this might be an option in an area where your...

Not so sure about the second part.
