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?

Discraft Jawbreaker Plastic Review
Discraft’s Jawbreaker plastic is their new putter exclusive plastic, and we couldn’t be more excited in the attention they’re giving to putters! And even more exciting, the Jawbreaker plastic is beautiful! It’s a marbled look very similar to a large jawbreaker you may find in the quarter machine at the mall, and comes in a number of pastel colors.
