Holy crap!!! How have I missed this thread!!! Disc golf is my other lifestyle. I live for it. Worked at a disc golf store, run clinics for kids at schools, and was the former president of the Minnesota Frisbee Association. LOVE this sport. Love seeing a thread here about it!

I first thought this thread said " Disco Golf "

If you guys ever come up to the Twins Cities, we have 75 disc golf courses within a 25 mile radius. Definitely a must. Here are some pics from the places I like to play.

#4 at blue ribbon pines. The Alley of Death.

BRP is probably one of the coolest places I have played at. It is about 6 miles from my house and they have 27 holes, a beer shack, and they plow the fairways in the winter. I love that place.

, those holes look like fun. The thing about private courses and here are, there are so many nice public courses every where. don't get me wrong I would def. want to play one of those course even if was private, but there's so many other options that I would never have thought to seek them out. 27 hole course @ McGiver park on the Clackamas River, 18 hole @ timber park in incesticada thats probably my favorite. Theres so many that I haven't even been to yet. Disc golf is big in OR.

Heheheh, thenyou'd really be confused if you read some of it and saw one of the courses was named Cranberry Disco.;-)

Yeah I never heard of this, but it makes perfect sense. Just never ran into it growing up in Jersey. But nothing compares to coming over here to PA and everyone asking me if I wanted to play "corn hole" , which turned out not to be as invasive as the name implies. But I'll save that for another hijack.

These grounds like Twins Cities look gorgeous. Hopefully you are allowed to puff it up over there. .

Yup, very nice in Minnesota. I went by GGGT a few years ago when I was up there grouse hunting. Only got to play once at a little course near Brainerd(sp?), but had a great time with the grouse and woodcock. And thank god rec planners like the relative cheapness of installing courses.

riverdawg · 01-15-2013, 06:07 PM

Mmmmm and a flick rolled Gator on #4 BRP maybe.;-)

Garbandz · 01-22-2013, 11:06 AM

Played the first time in Alabama,in 1986.
Been years,I built a course for Durham,NC,and was pro of the two in that town.At one time,I had played every course in NC.

Back then we used the Super Puppy,Rubber Putter,and a new disc from Innova,the Aero Eagle.Then came the Stingray,Roc, P-38,and now I do not know how many discs are out there.
Great game,always met the nicest people on the course..........

Was a good afternoon of club golf. Played thelocal BorrowedTime course, tight and technical, neutralizing the neanderthal arms. Allowed thisold fart to win Ams witha two over par.:-)

LoL... just the way you used "neanderthal arms" ....

Good stuff... Congrats on the win...

riverdawg · 01-28-2013, 06:07 AM

Don't get me wrong, some of my best friends are knuckle draggers.

riverdawg · 02-25-2013, 02:38 PM

Man, what a gorgeous day in NC's Brushie Mountains yesterday, low 60's, cobalt blue sky, light wind, just about ideal for disc. Had a big old time at the Little Wing course over in Wilkes County, one of my favorite courses.

02-25-2013, 03:31 PM

good stuff Jamie... I have been wanting to go out but I have had alot of day shifts lately at work so no time yet...

Smoke a good stick while you were out there?

mahtofire14 · 02-25-2013, 03:33 PM

I got out today for the first time in weeks. Knee high snow but it was a warm 35 and sunny out. You know it's been a cold winter when you feel like you don't need your jacket and it's 35 degrees out!

Oh yeah. Started at 12:30 throwing horseshoes and EPC New Wave. Been so wet I hadnt thrown shoes in over a month, but was on, at least as muchas I ever am. At 2 the disc bunch showed up, played 4 teams of dubs in a slow relaxing round. Burned a Padilla 48 lancero and JDN Antano consul while us two old farts demonstrated how up shots and putts win rounds in the woods.

celebrated the 4 stroke win with a DPG El Picador.

was a true dubs round for us with oneofus always picking up the slack. Legitimate par 60 course and we threw a 55.

Sounds like a good day to me my friend...

Now if I could only find someone willing to trade disc swag (lol im looking for a bag) for cigars... I'd be all set...

Know of any cheap/decent disc bags?

mahtofire14 · 02-25-2013, 04:39 PM

How many are you looking for it to hold Rob?

02-25-2013, 04:43 PM

maybe 10... So far I only have 7 in my set... Don't even use all of those most the time...

I want back hanging rig with room for at least 1 if not 2 water bottles and a decent size storage/stuff pocket...
