Ace Run Club Promotion

Essential discs is starting a program we like to call the Ace Run Club.

Here is how it works. Anyone playing a PDGA sanctioned tournament and hits an ace wearing our apparel we will give then a premium plastic disc of their choice. They will be able to choose from Discraft, Ching, Gateway, Innova, and Latitude 64. Also 50% of all apparel sales goes towards local course improvement and development. This is a win/win for the local Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill, NC area as…

2 Days in a row

So yeah after getting an ace yesterday I decided to take my son out and play a round. On hole 6 I have my trusty core in my hands and was just about to throw it when my son grabs one of my Pro D Challengers from my bag and tells me to throw it instead. Well I'm glad I did because i nailed it. 2 aces on 2 different holes in 2 days. What a sweet year this is turning into. I think I'll take my son more often to the course!!!

About Damn Time

I threw an anhyzer with a esp zone. Figured if I missed it would at least flex back and not catch the edge and roll guaranteeing me a chance at a birdie. Just as it was starting to flex back it nailed the chains. What a great sound that I was starting to miss. What a great day, finished up -6 for the 9 holes… Continue

The art of Karma

I have found that Karma in disc golf is very real. Last Wednesday, my wife and I were about to start a round at Reed Canal Park and she finds a $20 on the tee pad. I throw it in the bag with my discs and figured I'll use it on Thursday to pay for league doubles. Just as we were finishing our round, a girl comes up and asks if we found a $20 and we were able to give this girl back her money.

On to Thursday. Joined in on the league doubles at Reed and won. I got $10 for winning,…
