I've had several contacts with the parks about this and related matters and I don't think tour standards were at all an issue.
From the park perspective, this was just business. They sought feedback from players on suitable replacements, contacted several manufacturers, and went with the...
Rather than starting your competitive journey at a tournament, you might consider tracking down a local league and trying that out first.
Although likely to be a little less formal than a tourney and only one round long, this would be a good way to get familiar with playing golf under...
No snow (knock wood) currently in SE MI so you should be in good shape when you reach a course. Wednesday night there is a night golf league at Bandameer, the course not far from downtown Ann Arbor. Night golf shouldn't even count against your discing time clock but you'll have to let her know...
Here are some stations which have added Disc Golf Live to their broadcast line-up recently:
Peninsula Area Public Access / Port Angeles, WA
LakeCAM / Lakeville and Freetown, MA
Saugus Cable Television Station / Saugus, MA
ACCtv / Carson City and Dayton, NV
In each case, station personnel...
The latest episode of Disc Golf Live video magazine has been sent to our broadcast partners as we continue to work on bringing disc golf to new faces in new places via local public and community access television stations. These are the stations found in many parts of the country which serve...
Good discussion. Thinking about it more, I guess my problem viewing via LCD is more my old-man eyes than anything else. With a viewfinder, I can operate without reading glasses since there is a focal adjustment on the viewfinder (no glasses necessary). If I want to try to view with the darn...
The 16x zoom you mention is critical. Good choice. I have only 10x on my current HD cam and it is not great for shooting live golf despite the generally nice image quality. My old SD 20x zoom was so much more capable in capturing the long shots needed on the course. If I was doing any...
I'd like to see adjustable height baskets used on courses. Low position for everyday play. Medium for leagues. High for tournaments. It would be like increasing the slope rating in traditional golf.
Last time we did a big planting around here in SE MI, we took a varied approach. We planted several larger pines and at the base of each pine (blocking incoming shots a bit) we planted a pair of much more inexpensive shrubs. The shrubs were pennies on the dollar and well worth it. Tree...
Use Disc Golf Scene to contact players in the area via local club and course listings. Someone more local should be able to guide you. If you want to ask somebody directly for more info, I'd look up Todd Lewis as I know him to be very active in the area's disc golf activity and he can probably...
I would think coloring the concrete would be a better option, Scott. Between freeze/thaw cycles and flooding the durability of concrete might win out. In either case, prep seems to be where most of the work will happen. It would be sad to see a more expensive rubber product used only to have...
