1000rated.com got a great start about a year ago but then flamed out when it apparenty was too much effort or other things popped up in life for Brian to maintain it. http://www.1000rated.com/
The only disc golf related item that has caused them to hand search my bag was a weighted mini. Apparently the barium used as a weighting agent shows up metallic on their scanner.
No estimated release date according to PDGA Exec Director Brian Graham.
He wsa trapped in the old 2002 rulebook where you used to take your lie on a lost disc at the last point the group saw it. The current rulebook requires the player to rethrow from their original lie on a lost disc which was the tee in this case.
One of the things that those of us who have designed and studied player's attitudes toward really long courses is that they are more fun to play if there are at least 6-7 par 3s in the mix that can be 2'd. Doesn't matter how many par 4s, 5s or even…
Anyone who's been on here a while will guess my answer: Zephyr without a doubt. Float that baby right at the pin and you'll be sitting nearby if you miss.
There's no need to try and interpret the "intent" of a rule if it was written clearly. If the intent of the verticality clause in the OB rule was that it be widely used for other situations, the term "verticality" should have been included in the De…
Jamie is correct. You would have to try and play it from under the bridge or take a penalty and get relief using the unplayable lie options. However, for known situations like this, TDs have the option to allow players to play from the bridge withou…

Buddman said… - Hi Chuck, I have been playing less than a year and have really enjoyed the game. I am 59 and do not have a long arm, but have been working on accuracy. To that end, based on a few comments you made, I bought a 160 gram Zephyr and it has really improved my game. Thank you. I am interested in playing Super Class but don't know what my next disc should be. I know that the Condor and Jaguar are not legal for Superclass, but I use them off an on for regular DG. Any suggestions?
Finally, I live in Indiana and will be coming up to the Twin Cities this Thursday to participate in a 12 hour running race on Saturday. On Friday morning, I would like to play a course in Minneapolis or St. Paul and wondered if you could recommend a course for me that is not too challenging or long. I don't know if you have the time, but I'd love to play a round with you, but I know this is short notice and it is a Friday. At any rate, thank you in advance for any help you may give me and thank you for what you do for our sport.

Joal Kozma said… - Chuck,
I was hoping you could answer a question i have about a tournament. In April there was a tournament at fallasburg park in lowell MI. The April anhyzer. I believe it was the 1st sanctioned tournament at the course. There are no cement or rubber tees for any of the holes. There are no round ratings listed for the course. Is this due to the fact it was the 1st sanctioned tournament, the fact that there are no cement tees, or is it some other factor i am not aware of. I would appreciate any answer you could provide to my question.
thanks.

I will check back to www.PDGA.com later to see if they change anything on the official posting of the round ratings.
I have already passed along your explanation to the gang!
Thankx again.

- Ken Climo, PDGA#4297, Rated 1032 Rd.1-61, Rated-1039 Rd.2- 56, Rated-1039 Rd.3-61, Rated 1046 Total=178 (-38) Payout=$1,100
Hey Chuck, could you explain how the ratings are so low for the Champ after he shredded the course and the field?
-16 in the second round=1039?
Is it because of the fact that it is 24 holes?

Pop Arounleut said… - Hi Chuck, I am running a dubs league this summer and I was wondering if you can help me out w a suggested pay out. I am collecting 5 bucks, one goes to the series and one to the club. Last yr, I did not take a buck for the club and paid 45%. However, now that I am taking a buck for the club, the pot is substantial less and I don't want last place getting 75 cents a piece. I would like to pay 30% (I know its top heavy), do you you know where I can find a pay scale for this percentage? Thanks in advance!!
