I've had, and lost, quite a few, but now days I'm a Valkyrie man. I do have a new Blizzard Wraith that I've been getting 50-70 ft more on my drives though. Still waiting for them to come out with the Blizzard Valk. I'll be unstoppable (unless I play against Ken Climo).

I can only imagine.

Hmmm... I haven't been to Six Flags (s'wut we got around here) in over a decade.

I've got a Valkyrie, but it's a bitch to keep it from going way too far to the right. If it's a long enough place to throw, it comes right back around to the left, but I still can't keep it accurate. And since my home course is sick with trees, and it's right on the edge of a marsh (you even have two holes where you have to throw right over a good distance of marsh), it's not really a good disc to use.

Part of the problem in Sydney are people who tend to easily butt litter while drinking, and there are a lot of drunks on the streets every night. Since most of them wouldn't give a **** in that state. Street cleaning services are constantly doing their jobs and no police calls have been made generally about the problem. Believe me, cops litter too.

I go to many different courses around here, and they all differ from wide open, to thread-the-needle tree alleys. Thats why I use a bag with many different style discs. I do play enough to justify it though.

Someone should start a Disc Golf thread.

It's so much of a problem that the Police need to be called? Thats a lot of smokers. The banning of smoking in public places around here has made the issue almost non-existent.

Yeah, there are really that many drunks and not to mention craploads of bottles every night on the streets.

Police making announcements that it won't be tolerated, I meant sorry. They hardly do anything about it.

I see. We get that once a year around here, it's called the South Side Irish Parade. It was banned at one point, although more for the fighting in the streets rather than the bottles and butts.

Yea they mainly focus on drink driving and drunken fights here because it happens so frequently in pubs and the streets. But I'm guessing they have their hands full with that to really focus on anything else. Aussies can be the worst drunks. Most of them just act like dimwits, completely lose their minds and cause a lot of incriminating behaviour in inner city.

Also another thing that grinds my teeth here. Corrupt cops.

It's funny though, I'm a bit of an inconsiderate hypocrite when it comes to butts. I flick them out of habit without thinking yet I absolutely hate cleaning them at work... Just realised that.

Smoking in bars and restaurants is banned here so we dont have that problem!
