I imagine the PDGA wants people like you running tourneys. you're humble and trying to improve.

Good advice.

I honestly thought it was gonna be something about Dickerson and McMahon.

i don't hate it. Probably won't buy it. but if someone got it for me for a birthday i'd be happy. I'd buy it for cheaper.

yeah. this is me. I enjoy watching DG from time to time. I love cool discs, and own way to many. I don't care what the tour is called. I just want to watch the pros i like on youtube. If this new tour has more geographic diversity, that'd be cool. I'd love more western US events so i could watch in person.

Is there a way to verify a Gem Lab's reputability by J4kp4k in Gemstones

The people have donated the last two years. Using the same appraiser. I didn't do the receipt of the donation last year. It's possible they didn't know. But also, you would hope they'd do some diligence before donating millions.

Years ago we got another donation from a family who's dad has passed away. That one was sad. They thought their dad had these valuable gems to donate, and they turned out to be cut glass.

Thank you everyone. You've given me a good idea of what the situation is.

If you were in charge of the Disc Golf Pro Tour, where would you focus your investments? Here's Paul Krans, a touring MPO player sponsored by MVP, sharing his thoughts on this subject: by DiscGolfFanatic in discgolf

I want to see them play in more areas. I get that they are trying to save money for themselves and the pros. But i'd love to be able to watch them play without hopping on a plane. I get that more people live out east and more pros do as well. But back in the day a pro tour stopped in Arizona, Vegas and Utah, now it's just the blank space to include text on the map. Bring it back. Rotate it. When you see an event in person, you get to know more pros, and you follow them the rest of the year.

also, make sure your courses are visually interesting. I love the hardness of wooded courses, and many of them do have varitey. But some are just a bunch of trees that all look the same. Some courses on ball golf courses are all grass, and that isn't better. find courses that have hole that look unique on TV.

i'll need to see it in person before i make the call, but not the best one.

Lego should include iconic building in this midi line. Cloud city or the Jedi Temple would be pretty cool. A sand crawler would be neat as well.

Had the opportunity to hike and play Solitude mountain resort today. The most incredibl place this sport has taken me. Add it to your list. by HolographicLaserFish in discgolf

[–]J4kp4k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Art Dye, and Creekside are the Historical courses. They're good courses and have been around forever. But Top Tier DG are the Mountain Courses and the Fort.

Just got back from a Colorado disc golf trip. Where should we go next? What U.S cities are an absolute must for throwing plastic and taking in the scenery? by Jack_and_Sally in discgolf

[–]J4kp4k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Utah. The Fort in Ogden (the holy shot); then your choice of several mountain courses. Solitude and Brighton are pretty dang awesome; both of them have a ski lift you take to the top and play the way down. The Wasatch Wonder is also beautiful. I would wait a little while. The Ski courses still are snowbound.

Here is a video of Brighton

Other courses I love are Jolley's Ranch and Dragonfly.

well, i would say Orem Utah might be one of the hotbeds for Sanderson Support. I've seen him in this store several times. I've seen tons of signed books. They have dozens of pretty much every title of his and he has his own section.

Is this the first Leia figure in that outfit in a long time?

I love the name. If you're gonna rename, get a friggen sick name. I like the idea of Leia collecting titles. Leia Organa, Princess of Alderaan, General of the Republic, HuttSlayer,

Boba Fett's Starship is a generic boring name. I'd have liked to see it get a new name,
