peacefuljeffrey 0 #1 May 7, 2005 Do any of you also play disc golf? I've been playing on and off for years, and I love to play, but I am just average. It's a great game, though. Kinda like yoga and skydiving: even if you are not that good, it's still very enjoyable. I was holding one of my discs at home (okay, I have a lot of them) and just feeling the groove of how it sits in my hand, and I really want to get out and play this weekend. But the nearest decent course is like 40 minutes away. I may go, I'm not sure. Do you play? How long have you played? What discs do you like? What brands/models? I used to putt with an Aviar Putter, and sometimes a Birdie, and for a while I was big on the Aviar XD. Now I use an Aero -- in part because of its pedigree as the first mass-produced disc-golf-specific flying disc. It's also a very straight flyer and I like that characteristic. I usually drive with a Wildcat or a TeeBird. My typical drives are between 90 and 110 yards. I'm no "bigarm." Putting is my favorite part of the game, anyway. (Suprise surprise! I'm partial, as you can see, to Innova Champion discs, though I also have some Discraft and Lightning discs that see much less use. (Wait, is the Wildcat a Discraft??) Anyway, where do you play, if you play? -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #3 May 7, 2005 I've tried it a few times, but just can't get into it. I find myself enjoying pasture pool (aka "golf") more. One of my best friends is, however, addited to disc golf. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #4 May 7, 2005 There's a course right down the street from me. I walk over and throw a round about once a week. No special discs, I just have a couple of freebies that the local club handed out when the course opened. At my level it doesn't really matter anyway.

BeattheDrums 0 #5 May 7, 2005 My Budddy took me playing for the first time a couple moths back... After the first hole I was hooked so he gave me a diskcraft XS xtra long driver to start my own set... during the course of the game I found a Diskcraft Flash Maxium disk driver that some one had left in the creek. How sweet is that!! Out here in Chesapeke there are a few but I cant findd anyone to play with out here...

peacefuljeffrey 0 #6 May 7, 2005 Cool! Glad to know there are other players around here. It's most excellent that you managed to find free lost discs! Down here, near Ft. Lauderdale (actually it's Coconut Creek) there's a good, big course with concrete tee pads and professional "holes" (Pole Holes) and everything. I used to go there every week (back before skydiving took over my life ) and play with their club league. They had a big winding lake that ate discs by the dozens. This guy Mike, who was called Swamp Dog, used to skin dive for discs. He would spend a day doing that for a few hours, and come up with -- literally -- 30 to 50 discs, easy. He would sell them for a buck to this guy called "Used Disc John," and "Udje" (pronounced "yooj") would sell them to us for two bucks, after he bleached the muck off them and cleaned 'em up. He was nice enough to hold onto your disc if he recognized your mark on it and knew you. He would offer it for buyback to you first before putting it in the open market bin. I haven't played in a long time now. I miss it, and I want to start doing it again some on my weekends... -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

skymedic 0 #7 May 8, 2005 if you have someone's known property and offer to "sell it back to them"...that's not too legal. now asking for a "fee" to retrieve the disc's..that's another thing. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, I don't pretend to know the actual legality of it, but I think it really ends up that the discs are abandoned property when they're in the water and lost that way. I've never heard of anyone bitching about having to buy their own plastic back from Udje. And I never have (but I don't lose discs in the water much). -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
