For Christmas Eve I played 3 putter rounds at the local pitch and putt.  Most people who play at my home course make fun of it but in reality they just do not appreciate the history of the location.  Located on the east side of Monroe, LA, it is one of a few remaining object courses made for frisbees back in the 60's.  The "baskets" are somewhat large concrete "cups" in the ground with most shots ranging from 180-245 feet.  With an exception of a few younger cats like myself, the course is…

With day light being a precious commodity this time of year I seldom get to play week day disc golf.  However I have been blessed with not one, but two rounds so far this week!  It was a good thing too as this last round really helped me understand certain flaws in my existing throw.  At this point, my biggest issue is nose down. ( No I lie, my biggest issue is putting, but lets ignore that for now :) )  I can tear up short courses with buzzes and aviars, but distances out side of 350ft has… Continue

Nearly all of us have played disc golf with people who can seemingly

throw a disc with half our effort and make it go twice as far. Such

natural power is to be envied, but it occurred to me today that in some

ways these freaks of nature deserve our sympathy as well.



Watching Clifford the Big Red Dog the other day with my kids, I thought

of how large active dogs need more room to get the exercise they need.

If you have a 90-pound Labrador Retriever you should… Continue

It has been a long time since I have posted here.  I plan on tracking my putting practices here so I can be hold accountable for it.  I have been studily increaing my skill level and I am now placing or winning most AM tournaments I play in.  If I could work out my putt, I will be ready to move up to Advanced.

KURE BEACH, NC (WECT) – A new disc golf course is expected to open in Kure Beach in the beginning of the New Year.

The course's opening was delayed because of a problem with ticks and chiggers located in the brush. Read More.

It's easy to think that playing object golf is like washing clothes by

beating them on a rock, with so many basket courses available to us

these days. But it's a reminder of how flexible and adaptable our sport

is. Essentially, if you have a flying disc, anything can be a target,

and almost any setting can be co-opted for use as a course. That being

said, I'm glad modern business parks are built with *** sturdy windows

and most office workers take the weekends off.… Continue

Have you

heard the term 'diarrhea of the mouth'? It's when someone can't seem to

prevent words from pouring out of their mouth (basically he/she can't

stop talking, whether from nervousness or a genetic flaw passed down

through generations), usually leading to a detrimental result. I believe the currently accepted term for this is TMI (too much information).

disc golfers can suffer… Continue
