Eye Openers: FootGolf offers cheaper, shorter alternative

Eye Openers: FootGolf offers cheaper, shorter alternative: "I’ve been kicking the ball around the golf course for years.

Get about 10 feet off the fairway into some unforgiving rough and your playing partners look the other way and … there’s nothing like a swift swing of the leg to get yourself a better lie.

And now they’ve developed a way to make it legal with something called FootGolf."

Tips to playing disc golf with more confidence - All Things Disc Golf: "Golf had barely made its way to the United States during Benjamin Franklin’s lifetime, otherwise I’d be inclined to think that the above quote, taken from his Poor Richard’s Almanac, came to him while playing a round. I also believe that Franklin, if born into a world where both ball golf and disc golf existed, would undoubtedly have chosen the later. Add that to the long list of reasons why he is by far my favorite among the founding fathers."

Understanding The Upwind Throw -- Spin Vs. Wobble | Ultiworld: "What is wobble? How does it relate to the spin on the disc? And why are some people so much better than others at throwing upwind?

I’ve been asking around a fair bit recently, and it seems that everyone I speak to tells me that wobble is essentially a lack of spin. This hints at the truth in an important way, but it misses some key ideas. And the implications of these ideas are pretty significant – particularly if you’re throwing into the wind"

We have, and we’re on the verge of actually believing it. At the Memorial Championships, the final round was nearly delayed because of torrential downpour that flooded several of the holes at Fountain Hills. A few weeks later at the Texas State Championships, it was so windy that players were opting to lay up their putts even though they were only 10 feet from the chains. When we returned to Texas this past weekend for the 2014 Amateur Doubles World Championships, we wondered if our bad weather curse would continue.
