the Oaks (again)
I had the day off work and played The Oaks in Mokena again. A buddy and I started early around 8am. Played all 27 holes and I finished at 6 under par. Probably my best game to date!
There was not a single person on the course besides us. I think that even more enjoyable than my score.

The Oaks - Mokena
As the title says thats where my group ended up play on Sunday. 7-26-09
We had a couple people that it was their firt time out and the rest of us were just a little rusty.
I had not played this course in over a year and I dont remember why i stopped going back. The park is really nice. All the baskets are easy to find and its really shady. There are very few places you can actually lose your disc at.
we played 17 holes then took a break to bbq there at the… Continue

West Park
I made it out to West Park in Joliet around the last week in June. I was pretty rusty but ended up finishes +5.
in my own mind not bad, especially after all the beers and smoking before the game.
other than that I have been playing the IIT course a few more times.
hoping to get out this weekend, hit more than one course and get a few pictures.

first run at IIT course 6-9-2009
So I made it out to IIT 9 hole course on campus.
first, everything that people complain about is true. the course is short, there are a lot of people around (not playing), and you are playing in between buildings.
on the plus side though its straight south of my house. walk to the corner, get on bus, wait 10 minutes, get off bus which drops me off at the first tee.
the campus is nice though, the tees are well marked and the baskets are bright and new. great for… Continue

hello discgolfersR.us
my first post.
let see.... I have been disc'n since 200 when some friends introduced me to the game. I loved how casual they made the game play and followed their own rules. I continued to play on and off over the next 8 years. Last season I finally got around to buying my own discs and actually keeping score when I play.
This year I have been so excited to get out and play again. I have never kept track of the fields I have played our where they are located I would just… Continue

Terry "the Pirate" Calhoun said… - Hi, George:
Welcome to "DGRUS" - which is what we use as shorthand for www.DiscGolfersR.us. This network was created and is operated by the Calhoun family: myself, Ben, and Sheila. Please don't hesitate to ever provide feedback, and especially let us know of operational problems or of people violating our guidelines, the most important of which is, "Behave as though everyone in here is your friend!"
Among other reasons, we created DGRUS to provide disc golfers with a place on the Web where "On the Internet" does NOT mean "In your face." Please check out the full set of guidelines if you have any questions about that: http://tinyurl.com/DGRUS-guidelines.
The network's value is increased with each new member, especially when they share. So please use the "Invite" feature - http://tinyurl.com/DGRUS-invites - to urge your disc golf buddies to also join.
We'd like everyone who visits - more than 30,000 people a month - to join, but nearly everything is viewable even to those just browsing through. There are various ways for you to control who can or cannot see things that you post, and there are also various ways for you to control the email messages you get (or don't) telling you about things happening in the network. Please do share photos and videos, and join in forum discussions. There are nearly 700 clubs in here and you can start your own public or private one. We love it when members share posts in their blogs. As well, you can use the DGRUS Remarkd Flymart to either sell or buy disc golf stuff.
Never hesitate to contact us. You can use the internal messaging system, the "Report an Issue" button at the bottom of each page, or email us direct at terry.pirate.calhoun@gmail.com and sheila.m.calhoun@gmail.com. If you feel the need, you can even call me at (734) 355-0431.
Finally, please support our supporters, whose advertising you can see on every page. We started this totally as a fun project, but it grew so fast that we could not maintain it without their support.
Thanks for joining us. We truly hope you that this network magnifies the fun you get from disc golf.
