Disc Golf Course Design: Inscribing Lifestyle into Underutilized Landscapes
There is no argument that disc golf is increasing at an unprecedented rate. New courses are constantly in development and Steven Dodge even predicts that disc golf will be considered ‘conventional golf’ in the 2020’s. The question then begs, with the quick increase in courses and relatively short existence to study courses and their layout, have we been optimally designing the courses? Clearly there are amazing success stories such as Flip City in Michigan which I had the pleasure to visit this past summer. Then there are the stories of less than successful courses such as Polliwog Park which was closed for lack of safety. There are, of course, design…

A Story of Disc Golf Strategy
If you’ve read any of our articles up to now then you probably know that we preach strategy. Many of our strategy articles are theoretical so that you can apply the strategy to many different situations. To change it up, I thought I’d provide a concrete example of how strategy plays out on our local course. Rodney and I made it to the course last week to take advantage of the warm February weather. After playing conservatively over the past couple months due to wind and cold weather, we did two things slightly differently to get our arms ready for the season. The first was match play, which is a…

Discraft recently sent us a Z FLX Thrasher to review and compare to the original Elite Z Thrasher. If you haven’t read our Elize Z Thrasher review yet then I’d strongly recommend you read that first here: https://dgputtheads.com/discraft-thrasher-driver-review Here’s what Discraft says about their Thrasher: http://www.discraft.com/prod_thrasher_z.html As you would expect, the Z FLX Thrasher has the same feel and all of the outstanding traits of the Elite Z Thrasher, but there are a few significant differences. The Z FLX Thrasher is extremely gummy. Some Z FLX molds, such as the Undertaker, are only moderately softer, but the Thrasher in Z FLX is gummier than most other Z FLX molds I’ve…
