I used to love beer. Haven't had a drop of alcohol in almost 3 years now. It got to the point where the first one didn't do anything for me, but the second one hurt. I guess I drank up all my quota in my youth!

decided to just fly to san francisco and visit my older brother who took up disc golf during covid (even though for the past 7 years i kept on telling him his sports back ground - professional skateboarder in the mid/late 80's and competitive league tennis player through his teens until present).
we played two rounds at golden gate park yesterday and will drive out to dela vega too. weather has been perfect (i was getting sick of the cold wet sloppy snow in CT).
my theory was correct. in 8 months he's got great backhand and forehand form (sidearm putter well over 250ft on crisp no wobble anny/straight/hyzer. backhand and sidearm drives 350-370.
he just turned 50!!!
I wish I had a $ for everyone that I've introduced to the sport that got better than me. Pretty much everyone that I've introduced to the sport lol. The best part is watching them get their first ace when I myself still don't have one.
This is great.
To be completely honest from tee to about 450' on hold 9 at stafford is a slight bit down hill, but the markers are accurate and hitting 400' is a rip. It looks/feels flat but when you stand at 450 and look back to the tee you have to think, wow thats way more than I thought. Probably only like 8' drop over that distance but its there. Just like the previous hole, 8, is way more up-hill than it even looks from the teepad. Its one of the special parts of that course. So much obvious elevation change, and it is at times more than it even appears.
Where in the bay is your brother located?

^i was annoyed/impressed at my older brother because after the two throws on that hole that were well over the 400' marker, he said to me: "ah ok so you have to just throw the terns smoothly and don't overpower it...i think i threw 60% on those throws "
...
Golden Gate park really surprised me. of course the place is super busy but i was impressed at how clean and manicured the course was and how fun and enjoyable the course was. I kept on expecting there to be bums galore and trash living there but it was pristine with not a can/bottle of beer to be seen on the course.
we're planning a CT/MASS/NY trip so he can visit me and play the courses up here and see some new england woods golf.
those are fun courses! maybe i should see if there are any spots open still. it would be my first opportunity to play MA40
Two months from 54 and still got some moves...... placed 2nd and took home $90
Also got to hand this guy the big check for taking down MPO
I like when I know absolutely nothing about a course but I just look at hole distances and wonder why 3, 4, 5 and 14 weren't birdied.
I'm assuming that these weren't easy to get because this must be a wooded course?
I mostly play MA50. I'm barely over 50 myself and I do notice I have a noticeable advantage in distance over the guys that are quickly approaching eligibility for the 60+ division. Lucky for them my game overall isn't that good so my slight edge in distance doesn't really pose a threat to them.
If I'm consistent at anything it's being inconsistent. My last tournament I was +15 the first round and -1 the second round. Lol.
Damn baby grands. ..........................
^ haha, we do have a few tricks you don't see everyday
The youngsters seem to be surprised and amazed when I bust out a roller. Do kids not throw rollers these days?
