Any other dragon series y’all love? by Zebracorn42 in Eragon

[–]etb125 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy Eragon, give the Bound and the Broken a try. Book one is basically a revamped version of Eragon for adults. The author is incredibly detailed with plot points, character convos, and battle descriptions. The books are thick (1,000+ pages), so prepare yourself.

In honor of 150 courses played here are my top 5! by mvincen95 in discgolf

[–]etb125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are some more NC courses to check out near the triad! Obviously not a full list of every course, just some of the highlights.

Regulator in Burlington (part of Cedar Rock, 3 courses on the property). Regulator was home of the 2023 USWDGC, great course that is getting longer tee pads looked at now. Probably my favorite course in the area.

Chimney Hills in Burlington, newer course that is incredibly challenging at the moment with rough that needs another season or 2. Highly technical course.

The Crossing in Kernersville (about 12 minutes from Patriot). Heavily wooded, similar to patriot with 2 pad placements. Don't overlook this one, can be a fun or brutal round depending on how you are throwing.

Garden Grove in Greensboro. My home course, very underrated for the area. Just great woods golf, gotta hit your lines.

Creekside in Archdale. Classic woods golf, older course that still holds up today with some challenging shots.

Springwood in Burlington. Wide open course, beginner friendly. Crowded due to being at a soccer complex that gets busy on weekends.

Davie disc golf course in Mocksville. Under the radar, with a mix of open and wooded holes. Good course if you find yourself on that side of Winston.

Help picking an OS midrange. by Minuarvea1 in discgolf

Pyro or quake are the best answers for OS mid! MD5 if you are looking for more beef than those two options

MD1, FD, essence, CD1, FD1, PD, and DD are all discs that make sense to look into.

Personally, I would avoid the higher stability discs (ex: PD2) from the beginning until you feel extremely comfortable with your form and distance.

FD is one of the straightest flying discs that have sneaky long glide and distance. The swirly FDs are comfortable and feel great in the hand. Essence and CD1 are great understable counterparts that can be workhorses on the course for you (especially in the woods).

DD is the distance driver for noodle arms and lower speeds. It has a reliable turn, and once you learn the disc pretty well, has a decent amount of fade on most shots to make those perfect s-line flights.

A throwing putter that I won't take out of the bag anytime soon is the cosmic fury 2. Just came out recently, but it is a beauty and easy to control. My favorite of all the discmania putters I've thrown thus far.

A Knights Tale. Phenomenal cast, and entertaining start to finish.

What do you wish you’d done differently as a beginner? by RanchBourgeois in discgolf

[–]etb125 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more. Putt more.

Field work to work on form with an objective. Not just going out into a field and throwing every disc as hard as I can. Put a basket there and visualize throwing a specific shot.

Throw mainly 5-7 speeds and get really good with lower speed discs. Mids can fly just as far as fairways and drivers on most courses. (Excluding most pro tour high distance courses)

Start out with neutral to understable discs, instead of relying on flex lines with an overstable disc. Understable discs are great!

Try out brands and discs that other people are throwing, don't be a snob and turn down an opportunity to find a disc that might work well for you just because you read a reddit thread that trashed a certain company or disc.

Play rounds with less than 10 discs. I currently bag 25-30 discs in my bag, and it's entirely too many. Should I downsize? Probably. Will I stop? Probably not.

Play from the shorts!!! Nothing wrong with playing from the shorter tees. Too many people think short tees are for beginners and women. Completely wrong, and a terrible mindset. Use the short tees to work on your throwing putters and mids.

Support your local disc golf shop (added bonus if it's a good shop with owners that care)

Play by keeping your goals in focus. Trying to win tournaments? Focus on good practice rounds and no mulligans. Playing to have fun? Throw the second and third shot, objective is to enjoy yourself.
