    A legend has passed

    Very sad to hear about Ragnars passing. He had a beautiful spirit and we shared many good conversations over the years. My wife and I had dinner over at his place before we moved out West...one of the more enjoyable meals I have shared.

    We're looking for new disc games?

    A group has been playing a version of Wolf at UC San Diego on Sunday mornings since the late 70s. Here is how it works: A throwing order is established (we based it on seniority). 1st player tees off, and has the option of "Wolfing" (playing solo vs the rest of the group) or waiting to...

    4.50 star(s) Crush and Watch This review refers to the 2015 Worlds Gold layout. Beautiful setting with plenty of wide open crushes mixed in with some OB (strings and water) to keep you on your toes.

    Review by ddevine in course Sundance Trail Ranch DGC

    3.00 star(s) Nice High Country Setting Great setting, with some cute pin positions amongst the rocks. Technically challenging, requiring power and finesse. Holes 8,9,10 are a great combination of smart play, raw power and high country terrain. Hole 11 is a cute downhiller. Plenty of trees that require...

    Review by ddevine in course Beaver Meadows DGC

    4.50 star(s) SHWEET! Great layout in semi-remote high country setting. Excellent pin placements on many holes that demand precise control and mastery of righty/lefty forehand and backhand shots. Hole 9, a downhill with the pin precariously close to the pond, is spectacular and thirsty and ranks up there...

    Review by ddevine in course Blue Valley Park

    4.00 star(s) Kansas City Here I Come This review refers to the 2009 Worlds layout. Awesome terrain with challenging par 4 and par 5 holes designed for the big arms.

    4.50 star(s) Par 4 Golf: Yummy Yummy Yummy! This is Disc GOLF. Requires a full arsenal of left, right and straight shots at a variety of power ranges. Optimal landing zones demand precise control of 150' to 400+' tee shots, with multiple routes to many of the baskets. The front nine is long and...

    4.00 star(s) Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Three tee pads per hole (Red, Blue, Black) with increasing levels of technicality and distance.

    Review by ddevine in course Yucaipa Regional Park DGC

    2.50 star(s) Great Park Decent mix of long crushes and short finesse shots with some well defined fairways and nice elevation changes.

    [Innova] The mythical Innova ROC

    When I returned to DG in 1998 after a roughly 10 year layoff did an internet search to figure out what discs most people threw. Roc and Aviar topped the list so I bought one of each. I did not like the DX plastic as much since the flight path changed so quickly given the large number of trees...

    Review by ddevine in course Druid Hill Park - Legacy

    4.00 star(s) Cherry Spring Multiple tees and pins. Great selection of fun, demanding shots with rolling hills, mature trees, and lefty friendly. Good mix of length and variety in a beautiful setting. Great local scene on Thursday nights (TNT). The long tees are especially challenging, although blind at...

    Review by ddevine in course Lenora Park

    2.00 star(s) Crush and Crush Again Hard to lose plastic, plenty of opportunity to throw really hard. Great for working on your power. Hard to follow. Somewhat repetitive, with lots of "throw it really hard in an open field" type holes. Brutally hot in the summer, with little shade. My review may be overly...

    Review by ddevine in course Brandywine Creek State Park

    4.50 star(s) Beauty and the Beast Great elevation changes with the opportunity to air it out (and watch your disc sail gracefully deep, deep into the schull!). Good variety of tee shots, beautiful setting with wonderful rolling hills and stone walls that put a nice twist on pin placement. Upside-down putt...
