Now that's what I'm talking about. A whole course with crazy poo poo like that would be so awesome.

poo poo, those Worlds videos are kind of crazy to me. I went to university at Slippery Rock with my wife, and we played there together all the time, and the course was nothing like that when we were there.

They probably set it up differently to be harder and a championship/national tour level course for Worlds.

Yea, when a course hosts the worlds they generally do revamps and upgrades. The magical gold course.

Thinking about going up to Columbus on Sunday for the last round of the Hambrick. Speaking of gold course layout I hear the ob lines they set up make it a bit crazy.

I posted in here a while back and someone mentioned courses around NYC, but I can't find the post. Is that person still here and want to help me out again?

You could actually take NJ Transit and there's a bus that drops you at Central Park of Morris County where the course is. If you don't have a car that is.

Thanks! I'll be making a trip out in the coming weekends. My discs have just been looking at me sadly from their shelf in the closet.

I'm going to be playing my first game of Disc Golf/Frisbee Golf/Frolf this tuesday at a local course (that I had no idea was even there, in a town of approx 20k) and I'm pretty drat excited. A few of my buddies have been playing for a month and can't stop talking about it so I figured if you can't beat'em join 'em...and it seems like it'll be fun as poo poo. Besides throwing around random frisbees over the years I've never touched a legit DG disc. The other day I picked up a Innova Beast as my first driver and I've been playing with it in my (fairly big) back yard trying to get the feel for everything. After work tomorrow I'm going to go to the park and get my feet wet so I don't look like a TOTAL doofus out there with my buds but they say over and over how bad they are so I'm going into this feeling good. I was wondering if there'd be an SA thread for it nor not and I'm pretty pumped that there is AND it seems current and active! Lots of great info in the OP and I look forward to contributing some random stories and pictures myself in the very near future. Two quick questions. 1. If I say frisbee instead of disc am I going to be laughed out of the place? (not talking about my buddies obviously) 2. Is it taboo or ghetto to use a regular backpack or duffel bag instead of one of those high dollar specially made disc bags?

Not everyone can drop $200 on a specialty disc golf bag. I've seen people drag around a cooler on wheels filled with beers. Everyone who plays this sport smokes weed. It's not taken too seriously.

 That's all great info!RCarr posted:Everyone who plays this sport smokes weed. It's not taken too seriously. Another big moment. I certainly plan on doing my share of that as well at times.I was just looking on that dgcoursereview site, and there is one in my town even closer than the local one (where I work 20 min away) I mentioned! I live in a town of 2,000 and there is literally one within 3/4 of a mile from my house that I can walk to. It was established in 2010 too, same year I moved here. This stuff is beyond interesting and I can't tell you how excited I am to get out there after work today.

Quick question. I've officially checked out 3 courses in my general area, and the one practically in my backyard is of course the lowest caliber one by far (not really complaining). The one near me is a 9 hole and doesn't seem to have any tee off areas whatsoever, but they do have numbers marking each individual hole. The other 2 have concrete pads so those are obvious. Is there some unwritten rule here if there's no obvious tee or do you just stand near the sign?

Yea just stand near the sign. You'll usually see patches of worn grass where most people tee off from. If you don't just throw from wherever you feel comfortable that's within 10 feet or so of the sign.

Thanks again! It's going to be in the mid 90s when I go next but screw it I'm still going. This is a very fun sport and I've only just gotten started with it.

I've endured some miserable conditions this year when playing. I enjoy it enough that it's worth it though  Played in 2 feet of snow early in the year. Played in near 100 degree weather. Played in swarms of mosquitoes. Also my course is infected with deer ticks. Good times!

Checked out the pics dgcoursereview had on file for the one in my backyard and was surprised to see as of June 2012 they DID have sand tee off areas. Unless someone said it made the park look like poo poo I'm really surprised to see it all grassy now. Nothing wrong with the grass, just sayin.  The 18 hole one 10 minutes away from me (insane I've got 3 within 25 miles of me) is rated as overgrown and unplayable yet super challenging. This is intimidating as all crap yet looks crazy fun:

Yuck. I wouldn't be playing that course and I'm fairly confident with my accuracy at distance. There's something to be said for jungle golf, but that's a little excessive. Searching for discs in that on every hole sounds... Agonizing.

It's summer again and time for more disc golf. I just spend like $250 on infinite discs because I like buying new discs.
