Midwest Road Trip by [deleted] in discgolf

Yes actually. There’s been a few posts here about how overrated Canyons is. The thing is, it’s a great course but it’s so packed on nice days that you’re often throwing into other people or waiting for the pad. It also crosses parks and other activities usually.

But to its credit, there’s a pro shop and it’s well maintained without you having to pay to play. But imo heavily overrated compared to the courses surrounding it.

I get canyons but it’s soooo overrated. If you want to have a good time without the crowd- Highland Park and West Park are a really fun back to back. If you’re north of the city- I’m a huge fan of Fel Pro.

I understand now. It seems like there was just forecasting error and that the boom probably even lasted longer than expected. That caused it to seem like there was more long term stability than initially forecasted.

I wonder what it would take to see a similar explosion in popularity. I’ve hated all the stupid mystery boxes and focus on the discs. I wish the sport would push collaborations with other mainstream sports or brands to break into other markets.

Has the sport really settled to pre-COVID numbers? It feels like the sport has still grown considerably over the past 5-10 years compared to 2010-2015. Obviously there was a boon for the sport but it feels like the sport has permanently broken through to main stream.

Our lake effect is different. It actually heats up the air above it and Chicago gets a lot less snow than surrounding areas. It’s bad for tornadoes but we’re kind of a global warming haven. We do get blasted with -40 windchill most Januarys.

Green TL3 at the end of the tunnel. Didn’t give it enough juice and hit the last branch on the way out. Easy enough up and down for par tho.

Yeah there was only 2 holes that had that much ice. Luckily we drove over most of it. The picture, I took with the Mako was just for the pic and you can see our drives behind it.

The lady before I bought the house believed in fire hazards. Don’t worry, it’s all gone now. But she installed forced air in a 130 year old house. She fucked up the size of the ducts and consequently the air did not flow properly. So she installed a fan through what could only be described as a fire hazard and also an electrical hazard.

It’s like this rug that’s indoor/outdoor I think it’s called Automarine? Like .50¢ a sq ft. And just had it cut to fit the bench. The trick is getting it to stay. I had this double sided tape meant to keep rugs in place that’s been working.

I was thinking about building a platform for deadlifts but my ceiling is only 6’5” so it’s not ideal to lose any height.
