Fellow disc golfer here!

Throw mainly Innova and Gateway being from STL. Favorite course is Eagles Crossing in hawk point Mo. There is a GK Pro skins match there with Simon, Eagle, Conrad and Nate Sexton.

I play with my kids a decent amount. We're new to the sport so not a lot of skills yet. They do love to play though. Lots of woodsy courses between NJ and VT, so it's like life size pinball. The course we play the most often is a nice hilly one In Brattleboro VT at Living Memorial Park. Also played some in Allentown while taking a Pinfest break with another Pinsider.

Doubt you'll ever see a disc golf pin, maybe yo can retheme a NGG or Teed Off.

I haven’t played much lately, but got started in the mid-late 70s. Bayville Farms Park was among the earliest courses in the country. I remember the first time I played. My dad and I didn’t realize that there were specialized disks, and played that round with a couple of Wham-O frisbees.

I guess Bayville is still my ‘home’ course. I throw at Munden Point Park, too. I’m mainly an Innova guy. I like the Cheetah on narrow, tree dense fairways. It’s not the fastest, but allows really good control.

Home course: Borderland State Park Easton, MA. I try to get to Maple Hill or Pyramids near Worcester whenever I can. Mostly play Innova, Discraft and Millennium. Favorite discs are Millenium JLS, Innova Eagle / Orc , Discraft Passion / StratusX

Hopefully we won't see much snow around here this winter

I Love to Frolf! I have been playing since the 80's. Home course is Woodland mound but we are so lucky to have lots of courses in our area. If anyone is ever in the area and wanting to throw a round hit me up

Yoooooooo! Checking in from SoCal. Home course is Kit Carson Park in Escondido. Rolling with an all Discmania bag lately for fun, but love a Discraft Meteor and basically anything that gives me extra glide to overcome my lack of power.

I used to work for the PDGA, now I do marketing for UDisc. It's a ton of fun and just insane how much this sport is growing. Happy to see there is some crossover between the hobbies! I was actually thinking about starting a pinball stream where I also chat disc golf/interview pros. Could be fun!

Been frolfing for 30+ years. My dad started dragging me around Sedgley Woods in Philly (2nd Oldest course!) when I was kid. For a little while there I was the 3rd/4th ranked jr in the country!...There were only like 6 of us Basically, I was the only kid to show up at some ranked tournies for a couple years. It was fun seeing my name in the PDGA magazine.

Still play regularly. Still just chucking Discraft and Innova discs even though I know there are like 5 other companies in the game now.

Bayville is a fun little course. I get to the area a couple times a year for work and usually bring some discs along. I threw a round there with my boss a couple years back and hit an ace! If you're ever in the Philly area, Sedgley has a very similar feel to Bayville.

10 or so years ago, I was traveling somewhere and had like 5 discs in my carry-on. TSA was so confused. They pulled me aside and I had to explain what disc golf was

Love me some disc golf! Favorite course around here for me would be Wickham in Manchester.

You should check out the course at the college in Leadville, but bring some good hiking shoes!

Been playing for many many years built a full 19 hole course on my property a lot different than when I originally listed it just put in concrete tee pads last year

https://www.dgcoursereview.com/mobile/course.php?id=8033

I used to throw plastic a lot, I even have a pretty nice little course at the park in my neighborhood, but I haven't gotten out to play in a long time now

member of the disc golf club, been playing around 15 years. My home course is willow stream, which is pretty basic 9 hole, open course, but only 5 minutes from my house. No great courses in Chicago area, a new one an hour north of me is supposed to be quite nice, but have not had a chance to play it. There are a couple of courses in western Michigan that I hit when traveling to Ann arbor for football games, that I really enjoy. Have played courses in NC, NV, CT, ME, VT, GA, MI, IL since a single mid-range disc in the luggage is so easy to do.

Great course, one of my favorites, have played it four or five times. The view of Hartford when you get to the top of the 15th? hole is pretty spectacular, especially at sunset. Course has great variety of length, woods and open fields, hills, etc.

Picture hardly does it justice but the view from that hole is amazing.

Yup, does not do it justice and part of it is how you come out of the woods and suddenly you have that view. Typically when I am there it is late in the day, and there are folks sitting on the hill to watch the sunset.

This is pretty cool…

Actually thought my buddies and I invented disc golf in 2002 by throwing some ultimate lids around campus at statues and fire hydrants. A few years later hosting a poker game a guy shows up late saying he had been disc golfing. I asked the details and soon asked him how much I had to give him right then to have a good set of discs and bag by the weekend. I went all in.

Leagues, led to course building, led to tournies, led to playing NEFA Winter Challenge, led to captaining the Devens, MA winter team, led to regional touring, led to going from AM2 to AM1 to Pro Open. And... then the kiddo comes, tournies go from 22 per summer to 2. Wouldn't change a thing though. We're playing a round in Dallas in a few weeks while on vacation.

I had a great run, got to be on some cards with some great players and people (Avery Jenkins, Jeff Spring) but I only played 1 tourney last year - Brewster River Open (pic of the final hole below, and where World's was a few years ago), and my rust and age were showing (went to VT Co-op Pinball night between rounds to blow off steam!). Next year I can play Pro Masters and my son will just be good enough to get into Rec/Am2. Hell, in P.E. Paige Pierce and I think James Conner came in the Innova van and did a lesson for the elementary school.

For discs I throw there's only ONE criteria - it has to be flat!!! I hate discs with a dome. My hand doesn't feel right when it feels like it's chucking a textbook. Flat Teebirds, Buzz's, and Rhyno's make up the majority of my driver/mid/putter lineup. Throw in a Firebird and Zone for utility/overhands. Have new and beat versions of everything as I can't flick due to a torn labrum. And I'm that one player who unapologetically throws an Innova Groove!

For courses, the northeast gems have been listed above (Maple, Borderlands, Wickham) but I also got to shout out Devens for a cruel change of pace. Also Tully Lake, Flat Rock (Franchie is the man!), Sunapee, and just about every course in VT. Buff (MA) and Hollows (NH) can pound sand. Amesbury (MA) and Pelham (NH) are great for newbies and families. North Calais should be every northeastern player's bucket list course (and those outside the region too).

Smuggs! Worlds will be there again next year, too.

If anyone happened to watch the Las Vegas Challenge last weekend and saw a dude with a pink mohawk walking around in the background...hi, that was me.

Disc Golf is definitely my other major Hobby. Doing the math I have been playing for 20 years, started in College at UCF in Florida. I'm a course bagger and try to play every course I can. I have something like 775 courses played and pushing to join the 1000 courses played club one day. I designed Pharaoh's Tomb at White Bank Park in Colonial Heights VA https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2564. I am currently working on a 18 hole Tiki course at my house so I guess that is literally my home course, but Goyne/Ecoff and White Bank are close seconds. Love when DGers complain about it being an expensive hobby, I laugh as I'm going to have a 18 hole Mach II course for a good bit less than a NIB pinball. Year or so ago I swapped my whole bag for RPM discs as I have a fondness for New Zealand and like that the discs are named after their native birds. Their drivers need a few more options but it has forced me to work on my mid game. Though the Pekapeka is a solid disc. I can't believe the growth of the sport and the recent sponsorship deals people are getting. Makes me wish I was younger, would love to travel and make a living disc golfing.

Nice thread. Played for several years before moving to my current residence. Now looking to get back into it again with a buddy that has shown interest. Just waiting for some warmer weather.

I used to play once in a while but I haven't been out in a couple years. It's definitely one of the more fun ways to "exercise." I definitely prefer golf (ball golf as it's called hilariously) more but it's fun to throw a disc now and again too. I may have to get back into it.

Used to play quite a bit...especially in college. Not nearly as much anymore. I loved heading out with a single disc and showing up individuals with a huge bag. I actually have a bag but mostly just play with a Classic Roc.

Intersting read on the boom in disc golf during the pandemic and how the disc makers are struggling to keep up . . .

I may or may not be quoted in this article.

Definitely interesting parallels between hobbies here, for sure.

Disc golf is definitely in my bag of hobbies. At one time my wife and I had played all 125 courses in Colorado (there are probably closer to 200 courses now). My favorite is called Ghost Town and is near Black Hawk/Central City.

I get out a couple times a week weather permitting. Been playing since 99.
Favorite disc I cannot live without is the Vulcan. Second favorite is the Katanna.
Favorite local courses would be prompton lake, and blue mtn ski area as the downhills are epic.
I've landed 21 hole in one's in the 23 yrs I've been playing. Complete rush when I hit 3 in a 45 day span playing with the same 2 people. Even more intense 2 of em were on a brand new course on hole one after just stepping outta the car. Even more surprising is the fact I'm just a mediocre player that can't putt for shit.
I recommend everyone give it a go as it's a great way to spend some time outsidein nice locals and anyone can be the star with a little practice.

I’m pretty new to disc golf but I love it. Another pinsider got me into it and I’m stoked the snow is melting so I can get back out throwing.

I’m a fight fan so I think it’s pretty cool that Ben askren is also into disc golf and has his own course. Any other celebrities that disc golf?

Celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern is huge into disc golf. The guys from the band Tycho play. There are a lot of us out there.

Askren actually hosted a one-day Pro/Am at his course last year.

Not loving the rainmaker.. have 2, one never thrown. But Vibram.. interesting. My go to putter is the Summit, and so much so I have a glow Summit. Been throwing a lot of MVP and kind of took over my bag. I have a lot of understable as I tend to throw on a hyzer. Not sure why, but I do. Developed that bad habit about 6 months ago. My two sons 18, and 30, play with me. Headed to the MVP Circuit Challenge near us the end of May. Great times! We take pics of made putts from the spot we throw from for fun and bragging rights. One shows my older son doing the happy dance, the other seemed like an impossible putt by my younger son (to up the difficulty, he made the putt on a knee).
