Worst Way to Lose a Disc? (or three) - Page 7 - Disc Golf Course Review

Worst Way to Lose a Disc? (or three) - Page 7 - Disc Golf Course Review: "Originally Posted by Jammer89
More than once, I've gone out for fieldwork, and after collecting discs, I packed up and drove off. Only after getting home did I check my bag and realize I left a disc out there. Of course it was nowhere to be found upon my return. Now I am super picky about the order/placement of discs in my bag. It's less about finding what I want to throw at any moment, and more of an easy way to check and make sure I have everything when I finish each hole, round, tourney, etc."

Childs said that after the birth of his grandson, Collin Gibson, in 2008, he found a cause worth supporting: the Ronald McDonald House Charities."

Mobile Indiana, PA News Young disc golfer finds sport fits him to a 'tee'

Mobile Indiana, PA News Young disc golfer finds sport fits him to a 'tee': "Indiana Area Senior High School junior Mason Frumkin is already making an impact in his first year competing in the sport of disc golf.

According to the Professional Disc Golf Association, the sport is played much like traditional golf, but instead of using a ball and clubs, players use a flying disc or Frisbee, which is thrown from a tee area to a target called a “hole,” which in most cases is an elevated metal basket. The object of the game is to complete each hole in the fewest throws. The sport is designed so that people of all ages and abilities can play."

Scott Stokely Starting a New Disc Golf Company? - Page 19 - Disc Golf Course Review: "In the late 90's early 2000's there was a group from that same general area going by the name "The High Country" (THC) Disc Golf. They did a lot of business for a while then slowly burned out. I don't know if they're still around or not. I'm glad that at least these people are giving the effort to promote the game whether others like their style or not.

10 Pieces of Disc Golf Advice I Wish I Had Listened To

10 Pieces of Disc Golf Advice I Wish I Had Listened To: "One of life’s cruel tricks is that the tools and perspective you need to make the most of life often don’t come to you until well after you need them.  How many times have we said things like…  “If I could go back to high school knowing what I know now.” or “If I could go back to college knowing what I know now.” or “I wish I could go back and date that person again knowing what I know now.”  It seems like we are never fully equipped with the knowledge we need at the time we actually need it."

Building a Disc Golf Home Gym, Body Weight Training

Building a Disc Golf Home Gym, Body Weight Training: "If you woke up tomorrow and had no muscles, you’d be in trouble.  Let’s start with your heart.  It’s a pretty important muscle.  It moves blood and all that blood carries through your body.  Your diaphragm is another important hunk of muscle.  It’s what moves your lungs and allows you to breath.  Jaw muscles are a personal favorite as that’s what moves your jaws and allows you to eat bacon.  Your leg muscles help you jump and walk and run, the muscles in your fingers allow you to flip people off in traffic, and there’s a very important muscle that allows you to keep yourself from farting in public."

2014 Smoking Mountain Disc Golf Tournament with www.discgolf.co.nz

2014 Smoking Mountain Disc Golf Tournament with www.discgolf.co.nz: "Well it sure was one of those famous King Country autumn weekends for the recent round of the DG Tour held at Discovery Lodge in National Park.

Saturday dawned with a wet and windy start and things only got more hostile from there - not quite as bad as last year's venomous conditions, but pretty daunting never-the-less. So much so that AB didn't even make the start line and Shane and Lawton understandably pulled out before the end of the 1st round. I think I would be correct in thinking that the remaining 18 would've had moments of serious doubt about continuing as well."

GoPros are really very light but would take some distance off your throw of course. I just wonder if you measured out the disc and placed the GoPro in the true center of the disc if it would maintain flight long enough to get that kind of video. "
