Bruce Brakel replied to Joe Meldrum's discussion 'Leaving discs in your car during the winter'

Cold won't hurt the discs at all. I prefer to leave my discs in the cold in the winter so that when I'm playing they are not warm enough to melt the snow. On the way to the course i leave them in the coldest part of the car for the same reason. Th...

Learn to Play

We did one of those Learn to Play Disc Golf things for the kids today. We had about 20 or 25 kids. It was insane chaos. We started 15 minutes late and only had the three of us and five learn-to-play people. We decided to play best shot in a big eightsome. By the end of hole 1 stragglers had doubled the size of the group and we split up into three smaller groups. One of those groups then picked up more stragglers and split again. The main thing was to get discs in the hands of new players and to… Continue

I just need to vent.

Apparently getting out of the merchlord racket is emotionally trying. I did not anticipate this.

I sold the last Fishy-fishy disc, a Predator, tonight. I searched the spreadsheet using Ctrl-F for fish and fishy and did not find any more. Fishy-fishy was my favorite hotstamp. But, it all has to go. I sell discs. I don't collect them.

I'm giving these discs away for what I paid for them. They are all new and unthrown. Some guy orders 4 or 6 D Buzzzes tonight. He's getting them for $4 each but I… Continue

New Stuff, New Old Stuff, and a Tip

This is my new Superman:

You can probably get a larger image by clicking on the picture. Try it and see. That, or your monitor will melt. I forget which one right now.

This is a new dye but an older mask:

Aaron Birdsall's Fish, continued

I saw Aaron Birdsall a while ago and he said he lost his fish again. This time I've made a 175 Q Omega red fish on yellow disc.

If you know Aaron, give him a heads up.

No time frame yet but I may be looking to make a large purchase in the future...........And yes mark ellis, David wiggins is a freak of nature I shoot with him weekly

I'm heading to Joe Gill's course in Wayland on Saturday for the Fall Color Classic-or some name something like that.

At 7:56pm on August 2, 2009, mark ellis said…: Thanks for the motivation and support. If I had finished strong then I would have credited you. As it turned out I finished poorly so, in the spirit of fairness, I feel that you must be somehow at fault. :)

Not only did Val and Des outplay me but David Wiggins throws discs 200 feet farther than I can and he is a 14 year old kid. If I knew of a sport which I could excel in then I would go play it instead. Maybe ballet.
