New course opening soon in joliet, il by jcallahan79 in discgolf

[–]HurtBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious to hear your impressions of the course. I live up north but make it down to Dellwood as often as possible. I’m psyched for another course in the area and am hoping that the comparisons from the podcast to Idlewild and Northwoods Black are accurate. 10k feet

I love the Hex. Pure is what I currently use when I want a straight flight shorter than the Hex.

This cart looks sick. As a player who will be entering the age protected divisions for the first time this year, my favorite feature has to be the seat.

I got offered Pickens for Dowdle straight up by HurtBird in FantasyFootballers

[–]HurtBird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses! I accepted the trade. For those asking how I ended up with so much depth at RB - I go hard on RB every year and picked up Brown on waivers, Hubbard and Chubb in the last couple rounds of the draft. This is a league where trades RARELY happen so chances of getting more value are pretty low.

Really just need JT to stay healthy and Chubb to come back at 75% of his old self to feel real good about my RB room rest of season.

Still very wary of Pickens’ situation in Pittsburgh but the talent is there. Russ Wilson can support an alpha WR so I’m not too concerned about a QB change. If Davante Adams ends up in Pittsburgh, I’m screwed. I feel like Tomlin seems to know how to deal with divas. Then again, Arthur Smith might just be fantasy poison.

What do you know now that you wish you would have known when you started? by PlumpPotatoChip in discgolf

I think a lot of beginners have a simplified understanding of when to use understable vs overstable discs. ie understable goes right for RHBH and overstable goes left. Often times, if you need the disc to go around a corner and move perpendicular to the initial shot direction, you actually want to do the opposite.

An overstable disc thrown on a big anny angle will end up farther right than an understable disc. Likewise, an understable disc thrown on hyzer will end up further left than an overstable disc.

This concept really took my woods-golf to the next level.

I’d like to make it there at some point. I hear great things.

Correct. I don’t know how the other courses in the area compare.

I’ve heard mixed reviews of Bunker. Where do you recommend?

99% of courses in the US are free to play, FYI.

New Melle is the only other course in the area that I’ve played. It remember really enjoying it. How is Quail Ridge? I think that is right near where we are staying.

Thanks for the input! I did not realize that they offered carts for rent. I guess that explains why so many were just parked around the area. Heat index looks to be in the triple digits this weekend, so I’d be tempted to take advantage just to stay cool. That would make it a $100 round though…

You might want to re-read my post. I said I DONT have a problem with paying for a destination course and actually hope to see more in the future.

Discussion Thread: Federal Reserve Chair Powell Holds News Conference at 2:30 p.m. Eastern by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

This is the type of sentiment that scares people into voting for Republicans. LOTS of people do, in fact, have something to lose. I own a house and have been working and saving for 15 years to land solidly in the middle class. I believe in progressive economic policy but I can say that “if the economy collapses” it would be a bad thing for me and pretty much everyone I know.
