Ok, a friend of mine was talking about getting Masters golf tickets while we were playing disc golf. That got us to wondering. Is there a "Masters" tournament for disc golfers? If so, how does one qualify to play in it? We are new to the sport and probably not close to good enough to even think of competing at such a high level, but we would be interested in watching it. Even on TV.… Continue

First I will start off by saying that I have been waiting a decade for a World Championships to be hosted in Kansas City. They showcase some of the best courses in the country and it is centrally located which gives more players the opportunity to attend. I was very prepared and focused to play well; it had been my best season to date and… Continue

Man, I can't wait, it's almost that time again to head down to Wimberley, Texas. From what I hear, the creek and ponds have water in them this year which should make the tournament even more fun. It's been a couple years since I've played with the waterfall flowing so I'm looking foward to that for sure.

I didn't play last year as my partner, Tom Langley wanted to play the Amateur Texas State Doubles instead. We did okay considering we took on some penalty strokes because of our…

I was out this weekend playing at Reed Canal with Rocky and Buddy. Started off with a bogey on 1 but then the putts started falling. My drives were going well. I was having a great overall game. My best score for the course is a 7 under and I usually hang around the 5 under area. Walking to hole 12 I was sitting at 6 under and then Rocky and Buddy start mentioning my score and how well I was doing. Of course I have to say "all I have to do is par 12, 13 and 14 and I'll be happy." Those are 3 of… Continue

Why do you see all these disc golfers with black socks on? Does it make them putt better; or does it improve your drive? Mabey just to pick up on disc golf groupie chicks. I want to know the big secret.

Well, I've been getting better. I've found that that lighter discs are better distance drivers for me. I've switched to a Leopard at 151g., and it handles rather well. It's driving straight that I have a problem with sometimes, along with trying to not throw a hyzer or anhyzer unless I intend to. I'm also looking for a good approach disc. I use a Polecat for my putter and it works great. Any suggestions?

After a lot of 3-4 disc rounds this winter testing out exactly the discs i want to keep as my staples, I have finally narrowed down my bag.

Putters:

Pro Rhyno 175: My main putter 0-100'

Pro Rhyno 171: Back-up putter/up-shots

Mids:

DX Roc 175: Beat, really understable

DX Roc 175: Slightly overstable. My go-to midrange disc 100-250'

Star Mako 180: Finnesse mid. This disc will stay on any line you…
