Disc golf? (merged)

There are few creeks where we go, and the ones it has are very, very shallow.
The best places to find them are looking in the trees because most people look on the ground.

Anyone here play disc golf? Ever heard of disc golf? Ever thought about playing? Post here.

How many discs do you play with? I just play with a distance driver and a putter. I think mid-ranges are pretty useless.

I play some, very casually. I just use a driver for ecverything.

I play a lot (upwards of 5 times a week sometimes) b/c I live 2 minutes from a really nice course.

I use Innova discs: a 175 Cobra driver, 175 Aviar putter, and a 150 Leopard.

I agree Wes, I've yet to see a point for "mid-range" discs. I can drive most medium holes, and the long holes are either so crazy long that I have to drive twice or I set up just perfect to "drive" a putter for my second shot.

I'm mainly a two-disc guy, the Cobra flies ridiculously straight or will perform soft, long hyzer/anhyzers on command. My putter is both my approach disc and my putter, I usually throw a big, high hyzer on anything around 100 feet, and a dart from anything closer.

I only use my Leopard for super long rollers (thrown huge anhyzer to get it to land vertical -- sometimes these go 250 feet

), or insanely high tomahawks from 150-200 if monster trees are protecting the pin.

When I play a lot, I usually score 55-57 on a pro-par 54, and when I don't play a lot I'm usually around 63 (my drives get horribly inaccurate and I can't seem to hit a putt outside of 20 feet).

i'm really into frisbee golf........its alot of fun......we play here in greenville alot. someone said they only go like 200 feet......try more like 600 :-) we've gotten them up to around 350 but the pro's can go way way way out there with a good wind.

I throw 450 and I play advanced AM. The average pro only throws about 400-450. The record is like 850!

I use mid-range disc, mainly a Rocs for straight holes 300 feet or less, if there is no elevation change. Mid-range disc are very important to be accurate on shorter holes. If a hole is as short as 200 feet I sometimes use a Aviar putter to drive with. I'm very accurate with Aviars and Rocs for short holes.

The 2004 PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Associatioin) rating just came in and I found that I'm tied for 15th place out of 110 players in Kentucky. Not to shabby being that I've only played for a year and a half.

I started playing a couple years ago. Right now I have four discs: a mid-range ROC, a distance driver, and a couple fairway drivers. I need to get a putter soon.

I played in Austin first. There are a few courses we would play, the closest being off Lamar and 29th and it is a killer: trees and water hazards all over the place. There were a couple up north that we played that were easier.

Now that I'm in Houston I've found two relatively close courses. One has some large amounts of mud/water/etc. so I have only played it once. The other one is dry as a bone, and has only half of it in trees, so it's not too hard. The biggest problem there is all the people that like to camp/cookout in the fairways!

If there are any Houston people that live in or near the West Side of town, I'm looking for some people to play with.
