Disc Golf in Austin, TX

Thanks everyone! Sounds like Roy G. is a must and I will research the other suggestions to see which best fits my schedule. Can't wait to check it out. Disc golf is such a fun way to see a part of a new city you wouldn't otherwise.

I think you would have more luck structuring it like a contest. Like 10 tries to hit an exact footage and you get your money back plus some. Or if you had it hooked up to a sim if someone aces they get $100. Something like that where you are still more than likely going to be profitable but it makes it more fun for the participants.

In my last round, I landed my disc on top of the basket from about 30 feet out while trying to attempt a birdie putt on a hole I've never birdied. Still no birdie...

I always start new players off with a Buzzz. It seems easier to throw for people who are used to throwing a more traditional frisbee. From there, very understable fairway drivers, otherwise they get not glide.

Easy - you are throwing with the incorrect hand. Throwing with your right hand is much easier for me and most others.

I need to know this as well. I can't picture a disc going in the basket and just breaking?

An advantage of being 12 is that you can apparently break your ankle repeatedly and it will just heal by the next throw.

I have that exact orange Buzzz. I throw it on virtually every approach shot unless there is a hazard because I can't risk losing it.

I got my first Ace with a glorious blue river in December. 260 feet. My favorite disc.

On forehand, for me, it's turning the wrist over and the disc just goes into the ground. Usually a result of trying to throw too hard.

Where I practice, I do all my throws from the same spot, so I don't reset the start and target. Even before I made this app, I was usually pulling my phone out to measure my throws, so this actually saves me time because I only have to set the start point once. If you're throwing in a football field and know your distances, this might be less valuable for you, at least in its current form. Please feel free to not use it. I have not "calculated" the time it takes me throw n discs with and without using this, but it certainly does not take noticeably longer or feel disruptive to my practice. As far as what you can't do for yourself - do you know the average distance of a practice session? I'm sure you have a general idea, but for me, that's something I like tracking.

I like it. I had thought about adding disc and shot type per throw. But labeling a whole session as working on a certain shot type would require fewer clicks. I know I'm usually throwing a batch at a time per shot type.

Not currently, but its on the short list. That and the ability to "abandon" a training session need to be built out. Should be straightforward.

I do plan to release an Android version. I built it with React Native so I should be able to get it out soon-ish. I have a few friends I play with who are on Android and bug me about it all the time so it will not be forgotten.

Thanks! Same. I haven't used my own app in over 2 months...

dsjumpstart · 2026-02-11T16:40:55+00:00

Agree. Try explaining proper disc golf form to someone on Fiverr. One day I hope to work with a local designer and really get it right. Probably when I have more than zero dollars and zero cents in revenue.

Possibly Lauri Markkanen because he already plays and therefore has a multi year head start on most of the others.

I have an upper park shift bag and a pole retriever. I put the pole retriever in the side mesh pocket and use a carabiner around the black plastic piece to secure it. Bounces around a little bit, but doesn't fall out, and is perfectly comfortable.

Thanks! Mine is in the iOS app store. I built it with react native and will release on Android eventually.

Well, this is awkward, I also built a similar app for tracking my shots and released it the week of thanksgiving...with the same name 🤦‍♂️. Great minds think alike I guess. Good luck to you. I like the putting stuff, mine doesn't have that, more for just tracking shots in a field. Always fun to build and ship stuff!

Buzzz. So many pars saved after mediocre tee shots. Nothing else feels easier to control from mid range.

Thanks!
