My first distance competition

I've been itching to compete in a distance competition and today I finally got my chance. While my throws weren't what I would call stellar, I was able to take second place. Now second place may not seem like much to brag about, but the only guy tha…

My first distance competition

Posted on November 14, 2009 at 6:05pm — 1 Comment

First PDGA Tournament and rating

So I played in my first PDGA tourney (4th Annual Lemmon Drop) over the weekend, and talk about trial by fire. If you don't know the Lemmon Drop is played on top of Mt. Lemmon ski slopes, in Tucson, at 9,600 feet and heavily wooded.

I'm used to the fairly flat desert courses like Papago, Vista, and Emerald and this was quite different. This was the first time I've played outside of the valley and it took some getting used to. This was also my first time playing in the advanced division. My only… Continue

I recently won the doubles championship there in august and set the doubles score at 28 with a friend there in july .most of the guys that throw there on a weekly basis throw a average 400 ft drives and 250 there is considered a approach shot. we are working on integrating 9 more holes in the surrounding woods for a truly challenging course of open fairways for power and technical tight woods shots .

At 11:53am on October 8, 2009, Thad Murgatroyd said…: The transition from AZ to AK was slow ...5 yrs in ID then 3 yrs in MA then back to ID then to AK .i've been thinking lately of moving back to the lower 48 for the chance to play a bigger variety of courses,but i have things left to do here with the ADGA before i move on.my project next spring is a mountain course at a local ski hill .it should be a great course with elevation,trees,bears,moose and a view of cook inlet with the city of anchorage spread out below.i also have a dog that would hate az weather so i need to find a good climate that has good courses within driving distances.

At 1:05am on October 3, 2009, Thad Murgatroyd said…: ive been told you "drive for show ,putt for dough" mark ellis's putting program helped me a ton...and the longer you look at a putt the easier it is for doubt to creep in and bugger your putt...walk up visualize the putt and throw it .I play with a old timer that walks up, looks for about 2 seconds and snaps the disc in the basket .he does this from 100 ft out and jim harvey is considered the best putter in the state.I modeled my stance and snap from him and if i keep my brain out of it my putts fall in like they are meant to.remember "putt plastic in its place"

At 12:58am on October 3, 2009, Thad Murgatroyd said…: it's cool you live in mesa ,I grew up in mesa ,mt view high 85 lived on gilbert and brown wish id discovered discgolf when i lived there.I never played in that hot but did push a pickup a 1/4 nmile in 122 does that count...haha

At 6:49pm on March 25, 2009, Scot Lambert said…: What up Iceman! This is Scot from Wisconsin and I gotta ask...how do you throw in Arizona in the summer bro? Ive only been there once, in july , and seriously thought I was meltingI usually throw champion ,Z and esp plastic and it gets kinda over pliable...and thats in Wisco! How does it all work?

At 12:47am on February 13, 2009, Randy Terry said…: Your quest is a long and circuitus journey my son ,maybe never reaching an end.A given disc does different things when thrown by different people . Because of the various variables ie. snap,arm speed ect.
