Log on to our website (www.flyingdiscmagazine.com), pop over to the disc golf page and you'll find a page about it in our instructional (Play Better) section. Sign up begins now and the program starts on September 2nd so get in while you can! Join me there, I need all the help I can get.

We'll be short-cycling it a bit on future issues and we'll have six out this year as planned. Thanks for the kind words and keep an eye out - takes a while to get them there by porpoise.

When's the next mag coming out? The last one I got was the Hawaii one, and I can't wait for the next one to get here so I can read up on all the latest DG news (we're a bit starved for DG news over here in Oz, pretty small DG scene and Perth is the most isolated city in the world, so costs a heap to travel to other states to play). Thanks for putting out the mag, its a lifeline for us non-USA DG'ers!

Kris.

At 10:18pm on June 1st, 2008, FDM said…: I haven't been to the Titusville course, but understand it's a short campground thing. There are a few other places in the region, but it depends on how far you wish to travel.

At 11:55am on June 1st, 2008, Steujr said…: hay rich i need to know about the course in titusville or is there a better one I live in florida and I am visting my mom in youngsville

At 10:28pm on May 11th, 2008, John McMullen said…: Rich, I just posted some photos from the Colorado Open. If you want to use any for the mag, let me know. I think there are some pretty cool shots.

At 10:59pm on April 29th, 2008, "Steady" said…: Another great issue of FDM. I love the number of smaller articles. That makes it easier to pick up the mag for 5 mins and take a quick break and read an article. It seems you are able to include every player group with the number of articles. It's wonderful to hear from all the top pros. Nicely done FDM, nicely done.

At 5:35pm on April 28th, 2008, Avery Jenkins said…: Thanks so much. I love playing courses with high course pars that offer lots opportunities for big drives. Gotta love coming back from 12 strokes back to begin the day to win by 4 strokes. That last round 58 established the new course record as well.

Yeah, that Seattle weather can get like that sometimes, thats why I live further south where the climate is a little milder. Come to Eugene sometime soon.

I will see you in the Santa Cruz sunshine, getting there on Weds. Take care.

At 4:17am on April 27th, 2008, Hootie said…: Hi RIch,

Yeah, we certainly do get your magazine over here in Australia, just received the second installment and loving it! Great magazine, I look forward to each issue. I tend to leave your mag out on the coffee table, etc., so friends and family see it and have a read, and hopefully take an interest. I would love to get over to the US soon to play a tournament or two, but we're building a home at the moment, so the dream will have to wait a while I'm afraid. If you ever plan on coming over to Oz (specifically Western Australia), be sure to let me know and we'll meet up and play a few games. We've got a small but pretty fanatical community over here, and we're all very friendly. We currently have the pleasure of having a Swedish pro player over here until August, and he has helped us all improve our game, which is our first opportunity to get some personal instruction and advice. So how has your experience been with the magazine for the first few issues? I think you're doing a great job, and it helps the sport move forward and gain more mainstream acceptance in the sporting community. Thanks for the comment!
