weird past 2 minis

The cards I was on the last 2 minis seemed to have more lost discs than the last year of playing. it was crazy.
 and then I was reminded of this product on the discgolfersr.us site.

Anyone try on of these?  my biggest concerns are the cost, since you have to set these up 72 hours in advance. You can't just be at the course and decide to slap one on a disc in a situation were you might lose a disc. So you would have to pick a disc or two or three  for different shots that you designate for these things.

 Another concern is the weight. adding 6 grams to some of my existing discs is a pretty big deal to me.

 I really wish someone would come out with a $5 GPS "sticker" that I could put on a disc at the course, during a round, not worry about it coming off, and be able to locate that disc using an app on my phone if lost.


 come on 'Murica!!  make this happen!

Night shift orc signed by Avery!

Woot!

 and yes.. I will be throwing it. unless it disappoints and does not go in the bag .

 pretty good buy either way.


Should be able to play the Vet mini this Sunday, which should be nice weather and since I've been working so much, a needed break.


My new job at http://www.feedyourhead.biz/
 is going great.
 Originally hired with few store hours to just help them promote their disc golf selection.... it has turned into an almost full time job. Great place to work as well. It's nice to be working with actual real live intelligent , non-asshole, people for a change.

 Plus we sell disc golf discs & accessories!!  I love it! It's like almost the perfect job for me.

 If only I had more time to go out and throw :(  haha.


See you on the course!

Also, I would love to try one of the new Shark3 and Blizzard Vulcans

just sayin' :0

Putting contest and ring of fire this Saturday at the 420 celebration!

 Hi to the few of you that read this.
 It's been a weird past few months but things are looking good.

 I've been out playing the Sunday Mini at Veterans a bit more now that the weather is getting nice and I've been having a blast playing on different cards with my ADGA friends and getting to know some of the newer people.

 I frakin love disc golf!!

 I started a new job with a place called 'Feed Your Head' with is a hippy lifestyle accessories store ( or as some might say.. a pipe shop. But they started carrying discs and other disc golf stuff and needed someone to help promote it and that person is me!

 So we are having a big 420 celebration this Saturday with live bands and all sorts of stuff all day and I will be running a free putting contest from 1-6 pm with a ring of fire afterwards . Some decent prizes including a $50 gift certificate and I have fliers at our three closest courses so I'm hoping we get a good turnout of  actual disc golfers and not just people there for the celebration.

 And of course I will be at our Sunday Mini on Sunday :)

 Peace out and see you at the course!

Ice bowl wrap up and memorial thoughts.

 Well, My doubles partner and I did OK in the Ice bowl. I say OK because we only finished 3'rd in our division, which was the first time I have not won $ or plastic during a doubles round.

 But that is OK. I had a blast meeting a bunch of disc golfers I did not know and it turned into a really fun day.
 The first round was a mix of worst shot and alternate and my partner was fairly new to disc golf so we had some trouble. I think he felt some pressure.
 So for the next round I got us quite a few beers and we talked a bit and it really helped us loosen up for the next round. we were joking around a lot and it just felt a lot better, and it showed in our shots.

 We came back to finish 3'rd, but only 4 strokes of the leaders so not too bad  for a doubles partner I had only played 1 round with before.
 We had a ton of fun and thats what it is all about in disc golf sometimes. Big ups to the Granbury disc golf peeps, y'all rock!


 On to the Memorial in Arizona.

 Fist off, big ups to the people at DGPtv. they have been doing a great job on the coverage of some major disc golf events for the last three years or so and it keeps getting better each year.

 I was able to watch on discgolfplanet.tv for most of the week but actually went out to play a round with an old friend for the final round on Saturday and it turns out I missed a heck of a crazy final.
McBeth shot a record 17 under par!!!  a really incredible round which will be remembered for a long time for the defending Memorial champ, although not quite enough to catch Will .

 Then after Will won, the news came in that he forgot to sign his scorecard and was assessed a 2 stroke penalty which put him in a tie with McBeth so they played a sudden death round which Will capped with an amazing birdie drive to win it again. what a crazy finish!



 I got to play 9 at Turner yesterday  and almost lost a disc to the creek, which is pretty nasty in some places.
 Glad I didn't lose it though, it was a 2011 VPO Valk. one of my favorite discs :)


 I hope to play some tomorrow with my friend Ross, not sure what course we are going to play if  we get a chance to play, but the weather is warming up quick here in Texas and I am ready to rock and roll!!

 here is my usual odd picture to leave you with. be well and fly far and true!

Ice Bowl time!

My fist  tournament of the season is coming up this Saturday. the Ice Bowl in Granbury. The Ice Bowls are traditionally held across the country as a fundraiser for charity.I'll be bringing some caned food for donation as well as a few discs to donate.
 I went out and played the Granbury course for the first time yesterday after having played Veterans the day before. I am sore! hehe. Just a little out of shape from not playing much lately.
 I met with Matt, who is running the tourney, and my doubles partner Sean. It is going to be 3 rounds of doubles and I always seem to have good luck playing doubles so I am really looking forward to it.

 Charity events like this always tend to have a bit more of a "fun factor"  then other tournaments, and I really like the course out there. It is mostly big wide open shots with few trees so it plays to my style very well.
 I'll have to get up pretty early  to get out there early enough to warm up a bit and it's an hour drive so no drinking on Friday night!  haha.
 Hopefully I'll have some pictures , wish me luck!

                       here is a picture of  me at a wedding reception in Puerto Rico. weeeee!!!!

Is it summer already/yet?!

Jeesh! January 24'th in Texas and it is already a beautiful day outside!

 I started a new job today that involves me working from home which is perfect since it should leave plenty of time for disc golf and computer games, hehe.

 If the money is good enough, which it has the potential to be, I may be purchasing some new discs soon. Yay new plastic!

 I did recieve some discs for Christmas, which was my best gift,hehe. I gave one of my relatives that plays one of my colletable discs but I'm not sure he knew it was more of a collector and not to be thrown , oh well.

 I finally got out and threw a bit last week . Man.. I am out of shape!
 I can't wait to renew my PDGA membership and start playing more if the weather is going to be this nice this early in the season. Hopefully I'll play in more tournaments than last year and place better as well :)

For all of my followers on this blog ( I think there are 5 of you,haha) sorry I havent posted as much lately. More to follow.
 Peace and fly far and true!

Here is a picture of a dog for you as well :)

an update..

 Well the VPO was awesome. I had a blast volunteering to spot on 5 on day 1 and helping to spot on champion 8 on day 2 with some other awesome volunteers. I got a little cut up retreiving some discs for the ladies, but .. ya know ;)
 Overall it was great getting to see some of the top pro disc golfers in action again right in front of me.

 On the job front... not much happening. I've been playing a lot of Guild Wars 2 , which is fun .

 We have a house guest coming to stay this saturday for 2 weeks so I guess I'll be doing a lot more job searching and trying to get out of the house and play some more disc golf if the weather permits.
 I'm socially awkward around family members I don't really know  :(

 Oh well. If I don't check back before then, have a safe and happy day of stuffing your face and observing bullshit religion on turkey day :)

 Here is a picture of a dog.

Kinda cool.. OK, very cool!!!!

 Feldberg and Leviska are doing a free clinic tomorrow for the kickoff of the VPO. I know we have had some of the "big names" in disc golf come to the VPO over the years  but I'll admit I am a little giddy at having a free disc golf clinic with these two.
 I'm hoping I can go out and volunteer as a spotter for Saturday at least because it makes me feel good to be part of the club and do my part to make other players experience a little better.

 I missed out on the Am part of the VPO again this year, which really sucks. But hey.. I'm unemployed and ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

 I'm hoping to get Feldberg to sign a disc or two :)

 Now... if the weather will hold out for us it should be a great weekend!

sorry I havent posted much lately.

 I am happily unemployed and playing more disc golf. but also selling some of my discs to make ends meet.
 kinda sucks but I have always looked at discs like that. over the years they have come and gone so no sense being upset about having to sell a few here and there.
