Get Disc Golf. Give Disc Golf.

The post on the main page of discgolfersR.us got me thinking about spreading the sport. This is a difficult time of year to recruit new participants, as a lot of us go into hibernation. Furthermore, the skeptics are usually pretty unlikely to brave near-freezing weather to get a taste of what disc golf has to offer.

Still, I just hate the thought that I have to go dormant just because the season isn't conducive to outdoor activities (aside from your various sledding and snowman… Continue

Freakin' Weekend

US Olympic Petition

If you haven't already, click the link above and sign the petition to get Disc Golf added to the US Olympics. If they're going to let Badminton into the games, then why not Disc Golf? Let's get some recognition here.

Ugh...getting colder. I haven't played enough this year. I'm almost ashamed of myself. I try to get around to all the local courses once each year (and there are many), but I fell very… Continue

Olympic Disc Golf petition update

Good news disc golf buzzers!! We are going to have our original Olympic Disc Golf petition edited by the host company www.Petitiononline.com They cant actually alter the petition in any way, but they can take out the spelling errors and they might be able to add 2016 to the title too. So keep your fingers crossed. It might be a couple weeks before we see the changes. We are also hard at work getting our real petition signing tour together. We are trying to attract sponsors right now, and can… Continue

Good Edge - Getting Disc Golf to Finally Take Flight

In Disc Golf there are countless opinions on what has to happen for the game to truly come of age. We constantly hear about a higher level of professionalism, corporate sponsorship, and media coverage. Yet, the more these fires are stoked the less I am impressed with the fruits of our collective efforts. I can't help but think that the harder we try to mold a presentable sport the more we hold back its real potential. It reminds me of an old saying my parents used on me: "you can dress him up,… Continue

A chain out, and I lost my 12x

Well,

I went and played at Kentwood Park near NC State yesterday. I managed to get a round in finishing with 45 strokes. I got greedy and decided to play another 9 holes. On the second round in I managed to not focus on Hole #3 because a group of 5 people told me I could play through. Hole 3 is a small 220 ft hole with O.B. Creek on the left. Stupid me, just grabbed the 12x KC Pro Aviar and hurried my drive. The creek is usually pretty shallow but the disc managed to find the deepest… Continue

F-2 Tornado wipes out Disc Golf Course!!!

Ever wonder what a disc golf course would look like after an F-2 tornado hits it? ...wonder no more...

The course at Riverside Park in Hammond, Indiana got a direct hit Monday night. The tornado wiped out my local power grid except for my cable. I am currently powered by a generator and anticipate the same for a few more days.

I posted some pics in the picture galleries from my crawl through the course earlier today at the web site below and will add more as time and gas… Continue

Innova Disc Chart Visualization

I found this pretty cool data crunching tool, called Many Eyes, that allows you to create visualizations for your data. So to learn the tool why not use Innova Disc specs? Try playing around with it. You can switch the view from Speed, Glide, Fade, and Turn at the bottom.

Off to Stafford… Continue
