Fill in the blank for all types of shots. What is the right disc for a particular type of shot, and the best disc for players in different stages of development is not a cut and dry answer."

Texas State Championships Recap | Simo Lizotte's blog | Team Discmania: "To begin this blog with I want to start off by thanking everyone who sent me good luck and supportive messages throughout this tournament. I really appreciate and enjoy reading personal messages and I try to reply to all of them whenever possible. Keep up the great support and I will keep on getting birdies out there :)
Another PDGA National Tour event in the books for my US tour 2014! I’m slowly but surely getting use to tournaments stacked with amazing players and I feel more comfortable on the course about my game. There is not much to say about my game this weekend other than I played solid Disc Golf every round. Round 1 was super windy and the exact opposite wind than the two practice days I’ve had. My goal was to stay in the lines which was not really an achievable goal since the wind made some shots more or less unpredictable. But I got through the round quite well thanks to my putting game which was on pretty much every round."

How To Buy A Disc Golf Bag: "Other than the discs that you use, the most important part of your disc golf equipment is your bag. It's where you put your disc, and all the other things that you need to play disc golf. There are many many choices of a disc golf bag that you can buy now. They vary from small low price bags that will carry just the basics, all the way up to big bags you can carry 20 discs and lots of accessories. There are a few backpack disc golf bags. Some guys even use carts to carry their bag. I won't get into carts in this article. This is about the bag."

The Answer Is Throwing In The Wind | Professional Disc Golf Association
The Answer Is Throwing In The Wind | Professional Disc Golf Association: ""That's ridiculous..." was the most common phrase overheard if you were hanging out near where the players turned in their scorecards after finishing their first round of the Texas State Championships. The players and spectators uttering that phrase were of course referring to the unofficially rated 1107 round that Ricky Wysocki (#38008) threw in the persistent 30mph wind on the monstrous 21 hole layout that is Old Settlers' Park in Round Rock, TX. Even the players that came in feeling really good about their round were blown away. Wysocki finished the day with a 55, leaving him at 12 under par as the only person to card anything under 60, and 6 ahead of the next best round, a 61 by Paul Ulibarri (#27171)."

Much like Tony Hawk’s 900 at the 1999 X Games, it was a defining moment for the sport. Disc golf hasn’t yet crested 1080, but an untouched number just fell. A player rating of 1050, and Paul McBeth alone lays claim to this feat that has seemed to be within reach for the past 10 years or so. "

How to Improve Your Disc Golf Putting Skills
How to Improve Your Disc Golf Putting Skills: "There is a classic saying in the world of golf: "Drive for show, putt for dough." This saying applies equally as well to disc golf. Everyone is impressed with long, straight, accurate drives to the basket. This is why we play--to feel the rip and watch in awe as your disc sails through air, then fades to the basket. The real money in tournaments or skins, however, is made in the putt. Regardless of how strong your driving skills, if your putting skills lack, then you will never be a good disc golf player. Accuracy in putting is essential, thus the importance of practice. "

Tips to avoid losing disc golf discs - All Things Disc Golf
Tips to avoid losing disc golf discs - All Things Disc Golf: "Discs ain’t cheap- especially if everything you throw is premium plastic or rubber that runs $15 or more a pop. And we all own some that would fall into the category of ‘it’s not the money’; discs that are worked in just the way we want, discs that are out of production, in high demand, hard to replace, or have sentimental value. Equipment is part (albeit, in my opinion, a minor part) of what enables us to perform our best, and if our most important tool is suddenly gone, our game is likely to suffer."

John Houck explains disc golf course design- All Things Disc Golf
John Houck explains disc golf course design- All Things Disc Golf: "Designing a disc golf course is more than just placing a teepad in one location and a basket in another. You need to think about the various lines that could be possible and what kind of challenges you could bring on a course. No one wants to play a course where all you have to do is hyzer around some trees all day without much difficulty. A true disc golfer should want a challenge, but you can’t make it too difficult to where even a more casual player will never want to return."

downhill throws - Disc Golf Course Review
downhill throws - Disc Golf Course Review: "downhill throws cause me some problems. I am right handed and throw back handed. it seems to me that the disc always goes farther right initially than how it normally would compared to level ground throws. is this just me or is it a physical principal that makes the disc bleed further to the right as it leaves my hand? if so, what kind of adjustments do you make to throws (stance, etc.) to compensate?"

tomahawk throws in wind - Disc Golf Course Review: "So I'm curious what the tomahawk throw will do when the wind is blowing at your back and also in your face. does it tend to turn over sooner one way or the other?
Also, in general, what difference do you see when throwing a less stable disc (roadrunner) vs. a more stable disc (wraith) in the tomahawk or thumber fashion? "

Austin disc golfers upset about course’s permanent removal... | www.statesman.com
Austin disc golfers upset about course’s permanent removal... | www.statesman.com: "Some Austin disc golfers are outraged with a city recommendation to exclude a course from a plan to revamp Pease Park, after they said officials promised them one.
Members of area disc groups, including the Waterloo and Austin Deaf disc golf clubs and the University of Texas team, attended a public input meeting for the park’s master plan Thursday night. Many were upset that the presentation for the park, which runs along Shoal Creek between 31st and 15th streets, did not include a disc golf course. Disc golfers said they were told in 2010 that the course would be removed temporarily to allow the ground to recover before the park would embark on a city restoration project."
