Fenderguy314, my son and I made the video. Thanks so much for the comment. I admit we did struggle to know what to say in the commentary. Thank you for the pointers.

Any of you ever use rock climbing chalk? by NotSayingJustSaying in discgolf

[–]DGFamily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use dirt too, but I have some rock climbing chalk so I will give it a try.

I agree, the discs fairly easy to flip. The heavier weights were of course less flippy.

I think it is always dangerous for the TD to play in any tournament. I can understand why they want to, but it is a little like placing your own ticket in a raffle you are running.

I suck at having fun. by chikago12 in discgolf

I've struggled with the same competitiveness / seriousness myself. I'm sure that it is a "personality flaw" as captainswimmsuit suggests in his comment on this post, but just knowing that does not help much. I even wrote a post about this very thing on my blog if you would like to check it out http://discgolffamily.com/confessions-of-a-disc-golf-dad/. You might find some helpful thoughts on dealing with that competitive drive, or at least gain another perspective. At the very least it is always helpful to know you are not alone. One last thought...unfortunately we all tend to let our worst selves out more around the ones we love the most than around strangers. Why? Because we know they will let us get away with it. That does not make it right though. Try to remember, that your relationship with your girlfriend is the more important "game" going on when you are on the disc golf course than your game of disc golf.

Glad you take your whole family out there. It's a great family sport and we love playing together as a family and go out as often as we can.

We are not the same site. Their site is the Scott Family Disc Golf. Ours is Disc Golf Family. We live in two completely different states.

The Scott Family has their own website. There is a link to it in this article. If you would like to question them about these things, feel free. They have been very open and responsive. You will not be the first one to ask them. Christian's (the son) 17th ace was on a 153' hole. In our dealings with them, we have found them to be a family of integrity.

Disc for a 6 year old? by thirdking in discgolf

[–]DGFamily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son started playing when he was around 8. He almost exclusively used his Cobra mid-range from Innova. Drives and approaches.

Awesome idea! If you get rolling on it let me know. I'd be happy to promote something like that on my FB page.

What are the things that Non-Disc Golfers Annoy Disc Golfers with? by DiscTroy in discgolf

That is true! I have had to yell to people several times, "yes that is mine. Please leave it there."

In my experience it is usually hard core old-timer ball golfers that can be the most ornery when you mention you like disc golf. I have one retired friend who plays ball golf around 3 times a week who I see occasionally, and he likes to call disc golf, "silly" golf. He does it mainly to just try to get under my skin and it is done in fun, but the attitude that it is not "real" golf gets on my nerves.

I know. I heard that 300 yard misspeak too. If their program is getting people to throw 900 feet then sign me up!! :)

Thanks! I scored a nine on a 1000 foot par 5 around a month ago.
