I was dialed in last night at putting leagues. I won "Hot Putter" in the first round, which is won by making every single putt in the round, and then my partner and me went on to take 3rd place out of 14 teams. This is one of the hardest leagues in the area too, and they made sure I knew it. One dude walked up to me and said "So you're gonna come up into the one of hardest leagues in the state and just fuken dominate huh?".

I went to a club tag challenge throw down over the weekend down south. Great people, lots of smiling faces and a good group on my card made for fun round. I managed to finish with a par. One funny moment was while we were waiting to start a guy was passing on his way to his starting hole and mentioned that we looked like a fun card. One guy yelled out: "Well, yours is cool too. I wouldn't put you in my spokes!"

lol

A 'card' is the people that are randomly placed together on a scorecard for a 'shotgun' start.

It was the last time anyone will play on that course too. They're tearing it all out and starting fresh because of Ash Bore damage, which has been a thorn in the side of quite a few courses over the years around here. Can't have any widow makers falling on people while they're out trying to putt, drive, and throw so they tear those infected tree's down and burn em, which takes away established flight lines so sometimes it's better to just start over. There's 2 other courses on the property so they'll still be huckin plastic out there during the rework.

They have three courses? Damn.

Ooops. They actually have 5. There's a Blue, Red, White, and a Silver course. I always forget about Blue, since it's kinda bleh. The "Silver" course is the harder of the 4 though, and turns into a "Gold" course if you play the longer tee's. "Gold" being professional level distances.

What a busy year so far, not so much in the playing disc golf department but in the artwork, management, and miscellaneous and/or etc.department.
  • Artwork for a clubs team logo
  • Artwork for a clubs travel logo
  • Artwork for a tournament stamp that will be on discs and swag
  • Artwork/Video for putting leagues
  • Course map, hole signs, and players guide for a tournament
  • DJ'ing every Thursday night putting leagues

Keeps the marble sharpened.

From 2011 to 2016, the number of U.S. courses dropped from 15,751 to 15,014 – an average loss of 147 per year. If this trend continues, there will be only 13,245 courses by 2028.

In comparison, disc golf is experiencing rapid growth and may be nearing a tipping point. In 2011, there were 2,982 U.S. disc golf courses, according to the Professional Disc Golf Association. By 2016, this number nearly doubled to 5,467 – an average gain of 497 courses annually. If this rate continues, disc golfers will have almost as many places to play as ball golfers in a decade.

One of the main reasons for ball golf’s decline is a falling participation among young Americans.

In the past, the 18- to 34-year-old age group was the most likely to play ball golf. But between the early 1990s and early 2010s, there was a 30 percent decrease in participation in this age group. Today, only 26 percent of ball golfers are between the ages of 18 and 34.

Perhaps young people are instead deciding to throw discs.
