I tried to join the PDGA in 1993. I think it took about 6 months to receive my packet. It drove me crazy. Mostly I wanted my PDGA #. I wanted to write it on my discs like all the tournament players did. I NEEDED a number. One of my buddies who co...

Publishing a successful and ongoing magazine or newsletter, even on the internet, requires talent, effort and dedication. Normally that means you need to fund the talent, effort and dedication. The great mystery of the internet is how to lure rea...

In the heat and humidity of Summer I swill the light beers. The rest of the time the hops reign. I hail the IPA's. When I grow up I'm going to be sponsored by Sierra Nevada. Unless I leave them for Bells. Or Stone. I am a bit of a beer slut.

mark ellis replied to J.D.Guy's discussion 'Putting Discs'

If you are going to try out any putter, try a Rattler. I dabbled with them for a decade. Now I throw them more than any other disc. Jim Kenner (owner of Discraft) carried one and used it to play catch with before rounds. So I played catch with on...

Maybe your girlfriend hijacked it from the mailbox. I noticed at your site that you have two pictures of your dog but only one of your girlfriend. :)

If you played Hickory Hills every day you would have strong legs. Maybe you could train a mountain goat to be your caddy.

At 8:35pm on December 2, 2009, 7doubleP said…: Yes, I got hooked in a significant way. I wake up early every morning to go play. I've even lost a few pounds because of the exercise, plus I cant believe how much healthier I am mentally (I just feel good throwing a disc and then throwing it again, and again.) My wife and I play the course together. One day we will plan a trip and try a course further than 3 miles from my house. We do know every blade of grass (and tree) on our local course. I do think we should visit a field to practice instead of just going to the course every time, but it is hard to pass up a round. Your putting videos have helped us enjoy the game from the very beginning. We have been playing 1.5 years now. We will continue to read all the advice from you, and everyone else for that matter, thanks again!

At 9:42am on November 20, 2009, Jon Andrews said…: Mark, you helped me with some advice on my forearm stroke. Thank you. It has helped and even added a shot. With some less stable discs like an orc or a flash, I can get the disc to turn over and roll for about 300 feet. Thank you for your help !

At 2:31pm on November 19, 2009, Arthur Haverkamp said…: if it is any help, we got them for the first time at the 2000 worlds(ann arbor). Atleast, the pro's got one. I don't know if the Ams also got one(might be to hard of a disc for an Am?)

My sponsor has still a lot of "old stamped" discs and some of those discs that nobody wanted to buy.
Just tell me what you are seeking for or wouldn't mind to have a few extra's of.

I can also get you an european dg polo for bragging rights but that will be next year then, cuz I don't have any xxl ones :p)

I am not looking to do much now other than have a great time. Keep the vids rolling too, Theeeeeey're Greeeeeeaaat
