Proper Putting rules

2012-05-07T18:38:00.003-04:00

This video explains the putting rule for all who are a little foggy on what is and not allowed when making challenges. If this rule is violated, a first offense is given a harsh wag of the finger, then subsequent violations will result in strokes being deducted or your challenge will probably be rejected.

Please study the above caption to prepare for winter disc golf's weather conditions.

As many of us are plying in the cold we have had some great runs in our top 10 with many looking to rise within the next few rounds. Make sure you play on colder days if you prefer to stay away from slippery, muddy rounds. If it's cold enough, the ground is like a rock......unfortunately, so is the rest of you.

Winter Wonderland

2012-01-27T20:37:00.002-05:00

This winter has been very mild, and we have been very lucky to get in a lot of awesome rounds. This is just one of the wintery rounds we have come across this season. South Mountain was nice at this point, but as the day went on, 10" fell upon the Valley. Members in this Picture include the Top 2 throwers in the league, as well as an up and comer. John Disantis is on the left carrying his 200 plus victory record. Master Pee, our league's Coordinator and Inventor, is on the right sporting his Eagles Jersey and almost 150 wins. Brian Ackey is ready to launch, and Sean Ondush is on the Camera.

We hope to see ya'll on the courses this year, as DiscStars new Season is just around the corner.

Hurricane Irene

2011-08-27T21:17:00.005-04:00

Hurricane Irene is pounding the east coast as we speak, bringing heavy rains and major flooding to our area, and more importantly, to our DISC GOLF COURSES.

To anyone who gets out to play in the next week or two, PLEASE lend a hand in removing any garbage, or brush that may have swept up onto our courses.

It takes a major commitment to keep these parks clean, and with such a huge storm, we will all feel the impact throughout our gameplay.

Thanks to all who check in on the Blog, and to all who give a little, which will help a lot.

Independence Day Doubles Duel

2011-07-05T23:24:00.003-04:00

Double D's took over at Jordan on Independence Day, as DiSantis' long drives were complimented by D-Mac's confident putting. The steady duo went bogey free with 5 birdies to go -5 for the day. Young and Ondush played extremely well off each other all day long going par for the course with Pee and Santee following up close behind on a comback going +1. Reid and Bennett had many fine shots, but faded at the end with the loss of Bennett's lucky disc in the "Pig Farm".

We looking forward to another strong outing sure to come in the near future. Thanks to all, as much fun was had by everyone.
