More Education Needed on Disc Golf: Ignorance in Lubbock, Texas and Hudson, Wisconsin is Disappointing - Yahoo! Sports: "Being involved in the world of disc golf, it seems that most people should at least be somewhat familiar with the sport, but unfortunately, that isn't the case.

Vibram’s Trak a true breakthrough disc | School of Disc Golf

Vibram’s Trak a true breakthrough disc | School of Disc Golf: "I’ve tested all of the Vibram discs by now, and reviewed most of them here. All the reviews have until now have had a common theme: The main thing that makes them different from all other discs on the market (the grip and durability of rubber) has definite value, and it earns them consideration for a spot in your bag based on that alone.
