Comment by www.Motodom.com on December 10, 2010 at 4:22pm: For Parents of the youngest children, as soon as you can, like maybe 2 or 3 years on up .. please show them Heave H.O.E. Frisbee throwing instructions on DVD, and have an original Wham-O Frisbee handy too!

For that matter, it's for anyone wanting to jump start a child (or adult) of any age into suddenly making good flying disc throws, check out HH on DVD.

I have witnessed unusual skills of accuracy and distance from every youngster that has had the opportunity to see HH on DVD and practice it's instructions a little. And these Frisbee games will occupy Frisbee players for years.

HH is not just all about disc golf, but about pitching and catching the flying disc, in a friendly way too.

Hey, it may be a good stocking stuffer for young families (but for Grampa and Gram too!), and comes with a free Original Wham-O disc.

H.O.E.! (Heaven On Earth)

Comment by Ryan S. Flahive on December 7, 2010 at 1:54pm: I have a five year old boy who plays a few holes with me every now and again--but practices putting in our backyard quite consistently--my three year old daughter has been throwing minis in my living room since she learned to stand--so they are developmental projects...the key will be maintaining their interest in the game without suffocating them...

Comment by Chuck DeVries on December 7, 2010 at 1:39pm: My 11 year old son is my semi-regular golfing partner. He has gotten to the point where he want to throw from the longs with me rather than the am tees. Makes for some long rounds. That's fine with me - beats him sitting in front of the GD noisy box! We will probably combine some discing with tubing at Meyer Broadway this winter.

Comment by Jox on December 5, 2010 at 3:33am: I play all the time with my 10yr old son, were going to local tournaments etc
Sometimes my 7yr old tags along, but he cant keep it together for a full run.
The 10yr old gets better every week and is starting to look pretty darn good!
Weve played since August so we booth have lot to learn...

Comment by Skipper H / Ripdiscgolf.com on December 1, 2010 at 12:39am: Well My girls are a little young right now, a 4 year old a 2 year old and a unborn girl... dang I'm out numbered! :) But I have been taking them with me and my wife since about a week after they are born. so the know the drill, for the most part they only want to throw rollers as thats what goes the best for them. I have been working with the older one and some times I can get her to do a RHBH and have it go a little ways... They shoudl be Woman Pro's before you know it!

Comment by Mike McFarlin on November 26, 2010 at 10:57pm: Took my 9 year old nephew disc golfing with us this afternoon at Cadyville. He got upset that he didn't do as well as he normanly does on his home course. His home course is a more wooded and challenging course, and this was his first time playing a new course. One thing I have to say for him is that he is a commpetive little sh**.
