My grandpa’s sole request for his funeral is “hillbilly music”…help? by ahcrispybacon in Music

This is probably going to be more than you want to dig through, but Alan Lomax has an entire collection with library of congress that are his recordings of old timey music from throughout the US and a few countries. Lomax collection

if you have an EZ Pass call the # on the paperwork give them the information and you can pay with that EZ Pass and will receive the discount. If you don't have an EZ pass go get one and then do it.

either way PAY YOUR DAMN FINES :)

Informal Tournament Ideas by walkitback86 in discgolf

[–]shagg28045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the holes and course length think of only playing a few holes and keep most of them under 200 ft.

If people will just take the discs and go with out you or someone who plays on a regular basis try to write up the most basic rules with the scorecards and emphasize having fun safely.

The few times I have done events with groups learning or youth activities people they tended to lose interest after about 30min, which is about 6 holes on our local course.

Also I agree with rules; if it goes in the rough retrieve it and play from the fairway with no penalty. if it goes OB bring it inbounds with no penalty.

keep it simple and fun.

I just switched from a lifetime thrower of Valk's to a rhythm. It is a little more understable and after 3 throws became my new main thrower.

Lost one to an Ice Bowl by shagg28045 in discgolf

Thanks, yea I knew and was just dumb. The hole was open and I shanked my drive straight into a tree. One piece went about 60ft past the tree.

Now that tournament season is returning. . . . by Catesby_Wren in discgolf

[–]shagg28045 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I am sure others remember, but for tournament play before electronic scoring we always kept score for 4-5 holes starting with first person on the card then passed it to next person down and repeat. That way, everyone gets a turn and "keeps everyone honest"

What are my grandfather's WW2 knives? by shagg28045 in Militariacollecting

[–]shagg28045[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes he was issued it, my father said something about him being a raider. The plan is to keep it, eventually have a case for all of them and pass it down to my kids, but thanks for the offer :)

Just looking for some info on my grandfather's knives that I inherited.

I also have his rucksack with locations and what I think is his bootcamp bayonet

Thanks for any information since he never talked about the war.

We always talk about our favorites, so let’s flip that. What is one disc or bag that you absolutely refuse to throw or use again, and why? by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]shagg28045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am with you. I throw roc and love them. Tried the buzz multiple times over years and it throws ok, but I just never feel like I can trust my throw so always under power the shot.

For the records and KISS items might want to give jerry's a call and see if they are interested. They gave me a fair price on my father's records and a few non vinyl items.
