    Review by jamminbales in course Heritage Park DGC

    4.00 star(s) An Austin-Esque Course in DFW Great tunnels More elevation change than any other course in DFW Extremely punishing rough (both in score and thorns) Sometimes impossible to reach basket by following the fairway, must throw over the top for a birdie. Difficulty (4.5/5): This was a tough one to...

    New Layout at Harry Myers Rockwall TX

    I played a couple of weeks ago, and it's still in the old layout. There has been a lot of work done on the course though. I saw lots of new tee pads scattered around the course pointing random directions, indicating there will be a LOT of changes to the course. T hey also cut down a lot of trees...

    [Other] Mint Discs

    Is there any news from Mint lately? The last blog post I can find from them is in April. I'm interested if they're releasing new discs or even new runs of the Alpha. An updated flight chart would be great too.

    [MVP] Deflector

    Played my first round with the Deflector this weekend, and was really pleased with it. It's definitely staying in my bag for the time being. One thing that surprised me though is how much skip it got. It's like a hybrid between a midrange and a fairway, perhaps closer to the fairway though. If I...

    [Other] Mint Discs

    I played some very windy rounds this weekend, sustained wind speed around 19 mph. It took me a few holes to figure out I should ONLY throw my Alpha. Into a direct headwind, it was the first time my Yellow Apex Alpha got turn. I was able to crank on it and only get a small amount of turn and...

    [Other] Alpha - Power Fairway

    I was in Austin this past weekend playing some courses and decided to pick up an Alpha since I'd heard such good things about it. It flies just what the numbers say, but what I'm most impressed with is the consistency of the release. No matter if I go full power on it or if I take a lot off, it...

    Petition to keep Roy g. guerrero DGC!

    I just played there this past weekend with some friends. It's a real destination course, would be a shame to see it go. I've signed the petition and will try passing it around. Thanks for the heads up.

    [MVP] MVP Disc Sports (Official Thread) (Part IV)

    Graham, it was great watching you play! I also throw from a standstill, though I do it for form reasons, and it was nice to see that a high level of play can be attained with that approach. I hope to see you in more videos in the future.

    Upper Park vs Grip

    I own an UP Shift, but my buddy owns a Grip that I've played around with a bit. They're both amazingly quality bags with tons of features. So it's not like one is inherently better than the other. They do fill different roles, however. My first bag was the cheap Academy Magellan for $30. Great...

    Review by jamminbales in course Turner Park

    4.00 star(s) A tough fun round -Huge variability -Beautiful -Tough Navigation -Change of layout makes the ending confusing -Very tiring because of the hills Difficulty (4/5): This course will really make you work, and punishes missed lines. The few wide open holes are long. Most holes have the opportunity to...

    2.50 star(s) Good for a beginners or a relaxing round -Plenty of OB to increase the challenge, but still no threat of losing a disc -Next tee box signs make navigation easy -Great for beginners and low power intermediate players -Short tee boxes -Not very challenging Difficulty (2/5): Not an overly long or...

    Review by jamminbales in course Fritz Park

    4.00 star(s) Beautiful course, not too difficult -Beautiful course -Easy to navigate -Some danger of losing discs in the creek Difficulty (3/5): This course was a comfortable challenge for me. There wasn't any tunnel shots but there was always trees forcing you to shape your lines. I have a noodle arm, so...

    Review by jamminbales in course Searight Park

    3.50 star(s) A short but technical course -Not too long -Very technical -Scenic and memorable -Crowded -Will be rough on discs (bring your premium plastic) Difficulty (3.5/5): This course isn't very long, all of the par 3's should be well within an intermediate player's driving distance. But the fairways are...

    Review by jamminbales in course Circle C Metro Park @ Slaughter Creek

    4.50 star(s) The best course in an area of great courses -You'll never get bored of it -Shady -Great teeboxes and signs -Very rocky, will tear up your cheap plastic -Not for beginners Difficulty (5/5): This course is downright punishing. The first four holes start out relatively easy, then the par 5 hole #4...

    2.50 star(s) Very easy and very beautiful -Absolutely beautiful -Not very crowded -Protected baskets make you practice your upshots -Doesn't require very many shots -Short Difficulty (1.5/5): Not an overly difficult course.

    Review by jamminbales in course Bear Creek

    3.50 star(s) Very pretty and enjoyable -Good variety of shots -Not too long of holes -Would be frustrating for beginners because of all of the trees that can be hit Difficulty (2.5/5): I found the difficulty of this course to be perfect for my skill level. Hole 1 was definitely too easy since they have cut...

    Review by jamminbales in course Bill Allen Memorial Park

    3.50 star(s) You'll need every disc, and watch out for water -Crazy variety -Emphasizes accuracy over distance -Lots of water to lose a disc in -Poor tee signs -Tough to navigate without a map Difficulty (4.5/5): This is a fairly short but very tight course. It was more difficult than my skills could support...

    Review by jamminbales in course W.O. Harrington

    1.50 star(s) Too open and too easy -Good for beginners due to how few obstacles there are -No tee boxes -No tee signs -Bad parking lot Difficulty (1.5/5): This is a mostly open course with little in the way of obstacles. There is some elevation change on a few holes, but even that I don't think changes the...
