"I throw them both forehand and backhand, though not terribly well. But here are a few basics for the beginner:
Understable discs are easier to start rolling, particularly backhand.
Overstable discs will go further, presuming you get them going…"

David Sauls replied to eric beich's discussion Quick question about doubles.""Tough shot". Right, I stand corrected. I couldn't think of the term. Superior, in my opinion, to "worst shot".
This weekend we've got a couple dozen people coming to play 24 holes---8 best shot, 8…"
David Sauls replied to eric beich's discussion Quick question about doubles."I respect your opinion and distaste for "worst shot", but disagree with your characterization. The point isn't to reward bad play (as "worst score" would) or to penalize good shots. It's to require both…"
David Sauls replied to eric beich's discussion Quick question about doubles."I think Worst Shot works better in a bring-your-partner doubles than random draw. At the very least, it needs to be in a field divided by skills so that a rank beginner doesn't doom the team. It also works better on a course…"
David Sauls replied to Jim Coonradt's discussion Is there any way to ensure that tags get played for on a consistent basis?"When our club first got tags a few years ago, they were described as "whatever you want them to be." Play for them, challenge for them, hang them on the wall, whatever you want. At least, that was the plan when they were…"
David Sauls replied to Jim Coonradt's discussion Is there any way to ensure that tags get played for on a consistent basis?"You could use a challenge system, where someone can challene for a tag and if the tagholder declines, he forfeits the tag.
In any system, you could limit the requirements to tags 1-5 or 1-10. This would limit the effort and grief in enforcing…"
David Sauls replied to Jim Coonradt's discussion How people look at certain holes (or pin positions)."I've done a lot of this, in various ways. Some courses are more open to it than others; doesn't work at all on tight wooded courses with wooded footpaths connecting the holes, nor on crowded courses. I've done completely…"
David Sauls replied to Jim Coonradt's discussion How people look at certain holes (or pin positions)."As I said, I know I'm in the distinct minority here.
I haven't played any courses with 8 pin placements, but I've seen them with 3 and the moving baskets don't freshen things up that much to me. I'd rather play…"
David Sauls replied to Jim Coonradt's discussion How people look at certain holes (or pin positions)."I am in a distinct minority in that I'm not a fan of multiple pin placements. Inevitably there are positions I prefer more than others, and I'm disappointed if the basket is not in the "best" position (to my…"
David Sauls replied to JP Pulley's discussion Doubles and ace pots"Around here ace pots don't get that high---we have lots of aceable holes---but there are no restrictions on out-of-towners or first-timers. One of the arguments for the ace pots was to bring in more people to doubles."
David Sauls replied to Nate Nasty's discussion 1st prize = 40% more than the entry fee?"In all cases, the value to consider is retail, not the TD's cost. That's the value the players are getting. What the TD pays, or whether he pays at all, has no bearing. If they're getting stuff they don't want,…"
David Sauls replied to Nate Nasty's discussion 1st prize = 40% more than the entry fee?"To me, the sponsorship doesn't matter. Players, as a group, pay $1300"
David Sauls replied to Mike McFarlin's discussion How do you deal with cheating?"It's still overkill."
David Sauls replied to Nate Nasty's discussion 1st prize = 40% more than the entry fee?"Exactly. Players pay $30 each, get almost $30 (at retail) in players packs. Hard to complain about that deal; they're virtually playing for free. The payout looks pretty good to me."
David Sauls replied to Mike McFarlin's discussion How do you deal with cheating?"How hard is it for the players with him to say, "Your drive hit the tree, your shot from there went in the bush, your shot out of the bush landed on your green, you made your putt---that's FOUR, not three."?
Honestly. Even among…"
David Sauls replied to John Doe's discussion Pro and Am?"Yes, anyone can do either. You choose your status.
In sanctioned tournaments, pros win cash, ams win merchandise.
Entry fees are often lower for ams. PDGA membership is $75 for pros, $50 for ams.
Not surpisingly, competition is stiffer…"
