"Glide in Madison, WI is a great shop. They were a 10 x 20 room and now they have a bit bigger space with many more discs. They've expanded, so the market must be big enough. You could probably get in touch with them. I think one thing they have…"

Steven Dodge replied to Tate N's discussion Small Disc Golf Business (retail)"It would depend on what market you are in and how many courses / other DG specific stores are in the area.

Jim Coonradt replied to Tate N's discussion Small Disc Golf Business (retail)"I think that it would be easier and cheaper to run the business out of your home without having to pay for actual retail space.

Andrew Sanders replied to Tate N's discussion Simplify Your Game - For Beginners"ummm...... I've been with you up to this point...... this system would be terrible for marketing discs. a nine iron for one player is......not a nine iron for a lot of other players.

Tate N replied to Tate N's discussion Simplify Your Game - For Beginners"I wasn't insisting on changing the terms though. If we did that it wouldn't be disc golf anymore. Hyzers, anhyzers, turn-overs, spike - all would be left alone. The only thing I think needs to be changed is the way the golf discs are…"

How to you become a Pro?
I've always wondered, if I win my State tournament (South Dakota), how much closer does that get me to becoming a pro? How much do the Pros make? Can they live off of disc golfing alone? What do I have to do to make it big time, other than simply win?

Skipper H / Ripdiscgolf.com said… Here is a link to my eBay store where I have weatherguard straps

if you find a better deal let me knwo and I'll see if I can match it! Right now Fade only has blue straps and Green straps in stock... they said about 6-8 weeks before they have any black ones, so if you need black ones you might look around a bit. You might ask before ordering them in black just to make sure they really do have them... because if they drop ship fade just does not have in stock. Good Luck.
