Great list! Me thinks that list would change some once you visit the west coast.

Where can I make enough money to basically be involved in disc golf everyday? Any ideas?
Easy. Houck had this -- twice. Well, his Wimberley operation seems to have had a better chance of being sustainable.
So here's what you do. Get yourself a big piece of land, live there, and build two fantastic courses on it. (Or just buy his, which seems to go on-sale/off-sale about 5 times a year.) Then get yourself a disc distributorship and run it off that land. You devote all your time to filling disc orders and keeping the courses in shape. Find a reliable hippy slacker to run things for a couple weeks a year so you can still take course-exploring vacations.
Enjoy the trickle (TRICKLE!) of money off of pay-to-play and camping, and keep waiting for that Disc Golf Boom you've been reading about since early 90s copies of Disc Golf Journal. Hold tournaments as often as you can (or like) to make an additional trickle. Make money off the distributorship. Break it to your wife she may need to get a job in Wimberley or South Austin to keep you afloat.
Done.
I love the simplicity of that logic.
I suppose I could find 8 to lop off pretty easily.
But that would leave some meh courses on my top 80... completely undeserving of such acclaim.
I'd be happy to come OUT WEST there to take pictures, write reviews, critique courses . . . if you can round up some money let me know. Unfortunately I still have to pay the bills so I will be sticking with landscaping for now, but if I ever see the opportunity to travel around to other courses and there is a way to make money I will be the first person to make it happen. Kindof like the non stop disc golf tour . . . I could have my own for the common man. Buy an RV drive from town to town, you want to travel with me and play courses with me you can rent space in the RV with me. Who is in?
Then I realized it reminded me of 80playedin10states, before I realized i missed a handful of courses that were rated highly (I just forgot to put them on the list)
I can't wait until I have played that many courses. Only 50 to go!
Am I wrong in thinking Brackett's Bluff is a 5???? Be honest . . .I just was blown away by the course when I played it (and that was after I played Renny and Hornets Nest). Playing Idlewild this last trip made me second guess my thought process, but I simply do not remember any problem spots at Brackett's and the variety was awesome.
I had the privilege to play flyboy over my christmas break and it was a great experience. I've not played many courses, but flyboy was interesting. The overall experience, neatness of the course, and just it being flyboy was awesome. However, the course itself was not gold level compared to some I've played. I shot under there with somewhat ease and I am far from pro lol. I would say if I ranked it on simply the play of the course, it would be middle of the pack for me, but the overall experience makes it great!
