T-Man Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 This is one of the greatest games when football is not on! If you have played very much I have a question for you, what is the best course you have ever played? jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I love disc golf. However, I haven't been to any courses outside of Cincinnati, and there's only 3 here that I know of. Nothing worth traveling for. wink I've heard the game is big in the Northwestern states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pease Park (Austin, TX) 2. Veteran's Park (Arlington, TX) 3. Winthrop University (Rock Hill, SC) cool_thu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I play at BB Owen park since it is a 10 minute drive from my house, nothing special. Only play when its cooler. My favorite, I think, is Rolling Hills County Park in Ypsilanti, MI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh 0ne Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Ignorant east coaster who had no idea what the heck you guys are talking about. Show a brother some love. This Disc Golf you speak of, what is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 Basically speaking, it is played like ball golf except with a disc (brother to the frisbee). Same scoring and etiquette, but a 'hole lot cheaper and IMO a lot more fun. Check out the PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Association) website www.pdga.com :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 HUGH ONE: Ignorant east coaster who had no idea what the heck you guys are talking about. Show a brother some love. This Disc Golf you speak of, what is this? Usually in a public park down here, it is basically frisbee golf. The standard frisbee has been replaced with the disc that can be used for "tee shots" hooks, putters etc depending on how many you want to buy. I own two. There are baskets about 3 feet high you tray and land the disc in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Wow! I had no idea there were courses in Boulder. I used to play this at a camp and loved it. It's been years though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrograde assault Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 What does a set of clubs cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted August 2, 2003 Author Share Posted August 2, 2003 BradR: What does a set of clubs cost? That's another beautiful thing about disc golf. On average a new disc will run about $12. I personally carry 15 discs, but a lot of college and high school players play with one and have a blast! :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I've got about a dozen discs in my car's trunk. Vary in price from 8 to 15 bucks. I usually only take 2 out though. My long range driver, Cheetah, and a mid-range/approach, Stratus. By the way, with what drivers have you all had the best results? I've tried the Leopard, Valkyrie, Eagle, and Cheetah. The only one I seem to do well with is the Cheetah which I can consistantly throw @300-330 feet. Assuming I don't hit any trees... wall_bas I didn't realize how many disc golf courses were in Cincy. Go to cincinnatidiscgolf.com, there's a ton of 'em. Healthy league play too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big F'n Dave Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 The cheap equipment wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you still need money for Josh Gordon before you tee off, would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
