Played 2.5 rounds of a 9-hole course this morning and kept score with friends; I'd only been playing casually to get back into the swing of the game for the previous month, since it's been 8+ years since I last disc golfed. Adding the competitiveness back in has had me thinking about discing all day. Signed up for the UDisc membership, put my discs in, going to go buy a bag tomorrow and probably play a solo round in between cleaning my house, since an 18-hole course is a 5 minutes walk from the pad

Played the same course Mon-Thurs of this week, short tees to long baskets first 2 days then short tees to short baskets second two days, feels good  Shaved 7 point off my score just from Wednesday to Thursday. Watching and really thinking about your form really does help, who would've thought?! Playing a different course on Monday right by the big disc golf store here in the city, definitely gonna pick up a Buzz but I'm also thinking of getting a slower driver, my two right now are a Wraith and a Boss. Any recs?

My partner gave me an early birthday gift - a Dynamic Discs Trooper backpack  I currently keep 9 discs in my bag, and this thing is huuuuuge. Will definitely carry more beers now... Posting this partially as a timestamp - the bag feels so big and spacious right now, I'm wondering how long it'll take before I grow out of it, haha!

Aced my first hole ever today! 214ft forehand with a Buzzz. Just lasered it straight into the chains, fuckin A that felt great! How does everyone mark their aces on their discs? This is my first so I have no idea, haha.

Safety Dance posted:What's up, disc golfers? Did you do something you're proud of this year? Maybe you scored an ace, or just took your kid disc golfing for the first time. Get it burned into your rap sheet forever by posting in the 2021 Achievement Sixxer thread! Oh poo poo, thanks for the heads up! I'll take a photo of my first ace-disc so I can get it in the OP here and have it memorialized as a 6er Rotten Cookies posted:Happy birthdace! These are great goals, although #5 doesn't apply to me, within 1.5 hours there's probably 12-15 courses. I really need to just work on my backhand form, I think. Why was it my weakest ultimate throw AND disc golf throw?!

Played all but the winter course here in Madison, it's a good city for disc golf.Anybody know if it's possible to split a DGN subscription? I'm assuming not, because they'll have a "your account is being used to view from another location" kind of thing, but

Friend signed up yesterday and didn't see anything about the octopus, but I had another friend renew his membership on Wednesday and see it I hope I get the octopus, though! Although the turtle is p cool, too.

I realized on Monday that I've not been holding/throwing my backhand drives properly - basically wasn't getting a wrist snap to get the spin and rotational speed because I was more holding the disc how I would if I was throwing backhand in ultimate, which I'm not great at and only use for short distances.  Definitely already seeing and feeling the improvements of just readjusting how I use my wrist, but that means that my accuracy has now gone into the shitter, lol. Still feels good to have a literal "oh wait a minute... oh... oh poo poo this is how I really SHOULD be holding a disc!" moment. In bad news, I was throwing out of the brush yesterday and turned my head at the exact wrong angle to take a twig completely into my ear canal. That was surprisingly painful, gently caress.

Shot -5 against my projection in my weekly league just now Hoping my placement is good enough to get me credit enough to buy me a new disc and pay my entry fee again next week  I'm leaning more and more into Prodigy discs, they might overtake Innova for my most owned discs soon.

But also got bit by a spider, AND lost one of my favorite discs. Aw dang, hope somebody returns your disc! I just had someone text me about my Prodigy M2 that I left in an open fairway, so hopefully you get those good vibes coming your way. I went out the next day and bought another M2 though... cat returning my disc said it would be line 1-2 weeks before they made it to the store by me and I couldn't wait! Lol I'm currently cleaning up my basement, which means moving my basket upstairs. Gonna figure out a new workout routine that includes some disc golf specific things, and then figure out a reasonable number of putts to aim for weekly to improve my game. I'm thinking 300 to start but we'll see, summer is always busier and I'm tryna get some more home projects done... but disc golf!!

Despite having to wait at minimum 5 minutes on every hole, I still rocked -4 under my projection so League last night It was just one of those rounds for all of us though, lol. I tossed my Envy perfectly into the chains, only to look away thinking it was good and then watch it movie style just roll right past me

Bootloafus posted:Nikko has been an unrepentant poo poo slinging rage goblin as long as he's been in disc golf. My first time spectating a pro event was the 2008 KC Wide Open when it was an NT and saw him repeatedly throw fits way out of proportion to anything going on. He was maybe 18 or 19 then and has never grown up. Oh he's an antivaxxer too?  Really hope he gets suspended for 24 months then just fades into obscurity. Anyway, I've been taking it easy cause my P sure my projections are gonna be wonky cause they recorded me last week at -10 compared to my actual score, lmfao

Quabzor posted:Is anyone familiar with Door county Wisconsin? Jacksonport Disc Golf was a cute course with some really fun and goofy lines. One basket is only 92' from the teepad, lol. I would avoid Sunset Park in Sturgeon Bay, the baskets are handmade which is neat, but they suck poo poo, and it was just a massively bug infested area when I was there in May.

Dr Intergalactic posted:I have nothing to add other than  It feels so much like an ultimate disc to me. I initially purchased it cause of the novelty but I probably use it every other hole now. So I snuck away from work early yesterday to get a quick round in, short tees to short baskets at my home course. Played pretty decently until I get to hole 18, which is down a huge hill. The short tee pad is up to the right if you're at the red basket, it's a bit of a tricky line where you can't see the basket from the pad. As I'm on the pad choosing a disc, a giant hawk swoops up the hill and posts up in a tree maybe 20 feet from me:  Tight, what's up bird. This motherfucker just starts STARING ME DOWN, line doesn't look away. Cool, I've got an audience, so I huck a pretty hyzer backhand down the hill.  I fuckin PARKED THIS FUCKER WITH A HAWK AS MY AUDIENCE. Easily the best throw I've had on this hole after playing it for almost 1.5 years. I think I've gotta quit playing, that's just like a career high I think.

A good buddy of mine took a small Left Hand single shoulder disc bag, lined it with a reflective interior padding, and got a little battery powered UV tape light attached inside. It's fuckin great. We played a 6 person glow rounds for our local League on Thursday and not a single one of us got a double bogey, and all of us ended in the money

Placeholder posted:So I broke the radial bone of my right arm about a month ago and it looks like it's going to be a while until I'm able to throw discs using that hand again. I still want to throw though so I guess I'm going to give learning to throw lefty a go. Have any of you tried learning to throw with your off-hand? My buddy had roughly the same thing happen to him. He honestly got pretty decent with his offhand, and he now has offhand throws in his bag when he needs them. As good as his dominant hand? Definitely not, but good to have in a pinch.

headcase posted:TIL they sell 12 packs. I am thinking about switching to this for putting. I cant seem to get comfortable with any putter. Do y'all have any recs? I've put in time with aviar, fierce, and luna. For putting I generally use either an envy, pilot, or berg, depending on the situation. Glow rounds are a bit different, I need to get a glow berg actually, but the homie is still a mostly stable putter. I have multiple envies that are honestly pretty interchangeable, although the lighter one I use for driving/approach. Pilots are nice and floaty and overstable, and the berg I love just cause I can throw it like an ultimate disc, like that thing I have a great control over.
