Haha I know, and of course I haven't made anything that good since, playing with real discs.

[TrippinBilliam]

I might get to go to a pro-am tourney in Lake Tahoe later this month. A friend of mine is competing.

[1eyed_jack]

got my first hole in one today! it was pretty awesome, not a very long hole, only about 200 feet but i'll take it!

[SYDM6]

^ Very nice! The two year anniversary of my first and only ace was this last Sunday.

Does anybody know if there exists a DMB disc? maybe tie dye, maybe firedancer? Inova or Discraft would be amazing.

Not that I know of, but Innova will do custom stamps but you have to order like 100 discs.

[SoMuchToSay_07]

I've only played this once and I sucked, but it was a lot of fun

[dave ingraham]

i love frisbee golf. theres only one course where i live. its kinda shitty but i throw a innova champion beast

[javofuc]

So much fun, used to eat get high and play DG all the time back in the day. I once traveled to a ski resort near Taos, NM. In the summertime, they turn the slopes into a DG course and it is supposedly one of the top courses in the country.

the last of the snow in my area is melting...I bought a few new discs over the past couple weeks, can't wait to get back out there.

I can't wait either! It's going to be a few more weeks before I can get out there, but I'm definitely chomping at the bit.

[GSUdawg521]

Thought we had a more thorough thread somewhere.

Anyway, got to play a few weekends ago for the first time this year. Also went out Saturday morning by myself for a quick 9.

[justinfischl]

my bag:

Drivers

Innova G* Starfire
Innova G* Boss
Discraft Nuke OS

Midranges

Innova DX Roc
Innova Star Mako
MVP Volt

Putters

Innova Classic Aviar (2)
Gateway Wizard

Also, I just ordered a 10 pack of Discraft misprints, splitting it with a buddy. Hopefully we get some good ones, I could use a nice understable driver. What discs are you guys throwing?

I was planning on going through my bag later tonight actually, and weeding out some stuff.

What I know I will be carrying this year:

Drivers

Innova Champion Orc
Innova Champion Firebird
Innova Star Destroyer
Innova G Star Krait
Millennium QJLS


Mid Range

Innova Champion Spider
Discraft Z Buzz
Discraft Crystal FLX Buzz
Discraft Crystal FLX Drone

Putters

Innova Star Aviar
Innova Star Rhyno
Innova Nova
Gateway Soft Wizard

I use the Nova as more of a mid range/approach disc than a putter actually. All my discs are in the 174-175 gram range. The woodsy courses I play don't really require me to carry lighter discs, although I do have a couple Blizzards.

Had no idea that was so legit. I would've assumed you play with one frisbee.

Just had some friends asking me about it this weekend. When I mentioned they should come out and try it and they said they don't have any frisbees, I said something like " I have extra. You could really play with just a driver and a putter." Their heads almost exploded

the SPIN TV channel on youtube has some great quality videos and coverage of recent Major Tournaments. These are the best players in the world. It's hard to really understand how difficult what they are doing is, if you haven't played before. But trust me, these guys are really really good.

thanks, just subscribed. seems like a great channel.

anyone ever hear of/go to discjam? i got an email about it the other day...the lineup is pretty appealing.

[justinfischl]

I tore my meniscus, I'll be out of the game for a few weeks...I'm salty, I've been playing very well this year. Got my first ace last month. I loaned out most of my discs to friends for the time being.

[Tak_a_Tak]

Throwing this old thread back out there. Any players? I started playing this past summer and love the game. Perfect outdoor, social distancing activity.

[GSUdawg521]

I wish I had played at all this year. I still throw at my basket in the back yard a bit. But this was also the year of having a 2 year old and pregnant wife so I didn't get away much.

I started going for walks at nearby parks during my lunch break, one of which is a disc golf course. Realized I could start bringing my discs and throw at least a couple baskets during the cooler fall weather, so I'll have to do that soon.

[jmkratt]

Hell yeah! I used to play in college back in the day. Really got back into recently with COVID for the reasons you mentioned, bought a new bag and a ton of new discs. The wife is giving me shit I have new discs coming like every day, whoops! I've loaded them all into mydiscbag.com and everything. My 11 year old son is getting into too. Disc golf is awesome

[Tak_a_Tak]

Ooohhhhh!! I was not aware of mydiscbag.com! Thanks for that, setting up an account now.

Also, what a great way to spend some time with the kid!

[jcc522]

I try to play one or two time a week. Pretty fun way to drink a beer and walk the dog.

[ExistenceNow]

It's too tough on my arm, so I don't really play anymore. I definitely miss it for the reasons JK mentions.

Also good because I can play by myself at random times during the day when friends are at work or out of town or something. I was really good a few years back and would play multiple rounds a day sometimes.

Ive been wanting to play tennis but I need a partner for that.

[jmkratt]

Probably going to hit the local 18-hole course today.

Gotta try some of these new discs.

[Tak_a_Tak]

Got 18 in today, weather was beautiful. The course close to my house is pretty easy, finished -2.
