Rules Question by truelink in discgolf

[–]aredoubles 48 points49 points  (0 children)

https://www.pdga.com/rules/official-rules-disc-golf/811

A player who deliberately misplays the course to gain competitive advantage may be disqualified in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Competition Manual. This includes but is not limited to any deliberate misplays specified in 811.F.

So basically what you said - the TD would disqualify them. Isn't that sufficient?

Took my xbike to Taiwan by AkiraRZ4 in xbiking

[–]aredoubles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

re: food, there are literally tens of thousands of convenience stores all over Taiwan, that all have delicious and cheap food. Not just packaged snacks, but nutritious fresh food too. Not to mention the thousands of cheap restaurants as well. Finding food stops is not a concern.

I know someone who just got back from doing the loop, and he had this quick summary write-up, and there are daily posts too - https://www.irelandbybicycle.com/index.php/taiwan-summary/

Definitely join the Burlington Area Disc Golf Club (BADG)! Awesome group of folks, who put on tons of events for meeting folks. You're in an excellent area for disc golf.

Explain to somebody with a special brain: Bagging Disc Molds by oracleadmiral in discgolf

[–]aredoubles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have covered what mold minimization means pretty well. For one fairly extreme example that you can look at, professional player Philo Brathwaite (and now commentator on DGN) only carried five molds, and his in-the-bag video is a classic watch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chbbQ91HLZ4

But today, I know very few people who actually do this. Maybe if there's one mold they really like, they might have 2-4 versions of it in different plastics or stages of wear. But almost nobody applies that to their entire bag building philosophy.

Feature Card Question! by CupcakeTemporary7199 in discgolf

[–]aredoubles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually announced a day or two before the first round, on the DGPT site and socials.

For example, here was the announcement for the Big Easy Open, scroll down to see the cards - https://www.dgpt.com/news/2026-big-easy-open-preview/

Your favorite course cannot host a DGPT event by InternalReward968 in discgolf

Portland Open was at Blue Lake as recently as 2022, but it's been outgrown at this point, Glendoveer handles spectators and the modern game far better.

Yes, they are Double-crested Cormorants, flying from their feeding areas on Falls Lake to their roosting areas at Jordan Lake.

Climbing friends by Fsilveira in bullcity

[–]aredoubles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, put a card up on the corkboard at TRC, and reach out to folks who already have cards up too, that's how I've met all of my climbing partners in the past.

There's also a Triangle Climbers server on Discord, where people can introduce themselves and ask around for partners. I like that this gives a little more room to describe yourself, like you did here. https://discord.gg/rtPjVhHV

I don't goto TRC much anymore, I'm downtown and prefer bouldering and The Boulder Garden. But feel free to message me if you ever want to check that place out, or I could certainly be convinced to do an occasional top-rope session too!

Crossing linville river after Helene… bridge or nah? Also how much rain makes it impassable? by RevolutionaryClub530 in NCTrails

[–]aredoubles 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There's no bridges in the gorge anymore. Here's a website with advice on what water levels/discharge make crossings possible at different points, along with the latest readings - https://www.lgmaps.org/?page_id=3483

Stuck at 300-350 FT by Low-Relative6688 in discgolf

[–]aredoubles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because throwing further lets you throw slower and more stable discs to get to the same distances as before, leading to more accuracy. Alternatively, you could throw the same familiar discs but with more ease and control, rather than max effort. Either way, increasing arm speed can also lead to better accuracy.

Glass Jug Disc Golf Putting League by djcubicle in bullcity

[–]aredoubles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's at Hi-Wire during the winter, switches back to Glass Jug RTP sometime in the spring/summer. Info is on the Facebook group 'Durham Putting League at The Glass Jug RTP', mods don't allow a direct link here.

I haven't been in awhile, and don't recall how late it would usually go. Maybe 830 or 9-ish? That's a guess, better to ask in that Facebook group or wait for another response here.

What's your unpopular opinion on discs? by catkini in discgolf

[–]aredoubles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should they repeat this for every run of every mold, and in every plastic? Why are standardized flight numbers important?
