She's a pro. Some of her shots have made it in the DG rags and I have a 24x36 poster of about 20 baskets she took photos of. Her Dad suggested that ^ pic, so she snapped it. Also, her Dad's a riot. I hung out with him when the Prison Tournament was going on. A laugh a minute. Great guy. |
I may have already posted this... if so, here it is again. lol

I went to register for Ledgestone this year and all the cabin fevered golfers trying to sign up at the same time broke their server. lol They'll reopen it later today, but I think I'm gonna sit the tourneys out again this year and just go play where ever the wind takes me. I do like having the build up and goals of training for the biggest event of the year, but there's also the constant stress of having to keep on top of my game. I just wanna have some fun this year. When next year comes around, I'll be registering in the 55+ bracket. Some of those dudes can really throw.

A friend and club member is about to tee off at the Las Vegas Challenge on his very first Pro tour series. He's come a long way in the few years I've known him and thrown together and today he's going up against the best Disc Golfers in the world. I'm really excited to see how he does.
You can check it out here: https://udisclive.com/ He's on the 7am card. Go Zack! |
Ooof, he's off to a rough start. I'm sure he's got a bit of jitters going on, and I see he just picked up a stoke with a birdie. Lets go!

Dedication to the sport pays off for some people, but Paul is on another level.
Paul McBeth Signs 10-Year, $10 Million Contract Extension with Discraft Blaze that trail. My buddy Zack's still struggling out there. |
God damn that's like a real ****ing endorsement deal.
|
Yessir. As real as gets right now.

Ezra Aderhold (aka Muscles) with an 1100 rated round. The kids got a good future if he keeps this level of play up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94cbGkAbMhM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhYsIxDVzpI Here's the full final results. My buddy Zack finished back of the pack somewhere in there: https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/47877 |
We lost another DG friend and brother this week. My buddy who had one of the very first articles in Disc Golfer magazine about the Inparcerated tournament has passed away. I loved playing rounds with him as he always had a positive energy. RIP Jake.

My buddy Zack moving on up in points for the DG Pro Tour. He's sitting pretty good for a possible cash-out, tied for 44th (out of over 100 others). He just needs to step it up a notch.
https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/48068 Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I took everyone's lunch money last night in a dubs round. I was odd man out out of 7 and played Cali. |
Another homeboy. Gavin's been a fixture around these parts for a few years now. Good to see him on the lead card making Nikko work for it:

My guy Wysocki gettin it done! Some superhuman drives on the back 9 to finish off the pack. This was a fun one to watch. Dogwood is a brutal course.

Home Town Boy Gavin Does Good!
He got an ace and shot a really friggin hot round to start the tournament off today. Awesome to see. Watch The Ace Here Scores: https://udisclive.com/ |
Where's Plankton?
He done runnoft with the Carnival. lol This looks like I'd still hit a tree. https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...1f&oe=6096EA40 I used to know a few Carneys. Shifty buggers. |
Are you telling me they sell beer right next to disc golf?
|
I'm telling you that's some random pic I found.
|
But there's presumably beer close by.
|
If it's anywhere near my DG bag, then absolutely.

This is a fun watch. Calvin talking smack the entire time is hilarious.

Here's a little story about a table that wanted to become a disc golf rack.
I started out cleaning up the clutter in my small garage: https://i.imgur.com/2hsZB8L.jpg?1 Then I decided to put my PA and cabinets that were just sitting around doing nothing to use, so I bought a TV and wfi extender and hooked it all up. Now I can get any stream, music, etc. in my little man-cave. Yay!: https://i.imgur.com/Oempmpf.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/ZzNdiKZ.jpg?1 But what to do with all those discs? Hmmmm... Aha! I have an old coffee table that was basically flattened by my friend when he 'helped' me move years ago. This thing was literally flat after he tripped on a step and fell, all 250 lbs of him, directly on top of it. I had put it back together with some wood screws, but it's always been kinda rickety: https://i.imgur.com/S7DPgQ2.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/HNp26e4.jpg?1 Ok, so let's get to work. Step 1 is planning it all out with some measuring to make sure the discs will seat properly between the board and the dowel rod. Lots of dry fitting and adjusting until I got it right and drew it all up: https://i.imgur.com/x6JpuMr.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/noLIWmj.jpg?1 Then, drill some holes... https://i.imgur.com/M0GAnLr.jpg?1 ...and put it all together: https://i.imgur.com/Hmq7wXS.jpg?1 Hmmm... that sagging just isn't right. If I'd have used 1/2" steel rods it would have been fine, but I'm too far into it now to start over. https://i.imgur.com/FPlXcid.jpg?1 What do I do now? continued in next post... |
The little story about a table that wanted to become a disc golf rack continued:
The best direction to take from here is to make a center brace for it, so lets get to it: Patent... lol https://i.imgur.com/v9uQq78.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/1ogj2jQ.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/jS3neCh.jpg?1 Ok, that works, but it seems just a bit lacking. I think I'll match the end column pieces and use that same design for a center divider. The original used mortise and tenon joints, but I'm just using some Gorilla Wood Glue and tacking with small screws where possible: https://i.imgur.com/ynS3uNC.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/edarXDv.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/eU7WSJu.jpg?1 Put it all together and then add a few detail touches, like filling a bit of wood imperfections (I grabbed a crappy piece, ooops), and capping off the end screws: https://i.imgur.com/tNTEZIV.jpg?1 It's looking pretty good so far, but I'm still not done. It's gonna need some casters so it can roll around the garage to move it out of the way if necessary: https://i.imgur.com/MSwExFq.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/buN3dLX.jpg?1 That's where it's at right now. I'll be sanding and prepping for paint over the weekend. The final piece will look like this: https://i.imgur.com/NJ1Z0sD.png?1 Basket Cases (a local disc golf club I belong to) blue with my custom artwork and some accent colors. Not sure about the accent colors though. I also have some 1.5" end caps to order to cover the ends that sandwich the rod. The artwork will be printed off at 15"x20" on heavy paper and glued to the top, then coated with about 7-8 coats of clear coat. I'll be sure to post up finished pics when it's all done next week! The End...? |
A few more progress pics:
Casters fitted, thru bolts trimmed, and ready for paint https://i.imgur.com/tNvg8Ev.jpg?1 Making sure everything fits, moves, works as planned before paint https://i.imgur.com/5MR9E0b.jpg?1 Accent colors done https://i.imgur.com/DSkEzBv.jpg?1 First coat of blue https://i.imgur.com/whHv5qU.jpg?1 I'll be heading to the print shop today, then finishing up the paint. I'll need to give it a few days to cure before gluing the artwork in place. After that I'll be applying many, many layers of clear coat and then epoxying the casters in place. I should be done with everything by the end of the week, but it'll take at least a couple of weeks for the clear coat to fully harden enough for everyday use, so it'll just be sitting in a corner until then. Finished pics will be next! |
Its a waiting game now. The paint and glue need time to create a bond.
Turned out decent though. [https://i.imgur.com/O0cfW6q.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/H2rwOmX.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/4iiYTu4.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/swptWu9.jpg?1 |
Nice logo on top!
|
Thanks! I have to wait until next week to clear coat. This paint needs time to cure, then the CC will need time too. Should be pretty sweet after all that.

Didn't know Justin Trudeau played disc golf.

The sport has really taken off this past year.
It was incredible watching Ella Hansen this past weekend at the US Women's Championships. She's a crossover player from Ultimate Frisbee and decided to go pro since all the Ultimate stuff got cancelled. She can bomb. Of course Paige is still the best thrower out there, but I think Ella may be the next reigning champ real soon. She's still a little green and needs to get a few more tourneys under her belt. Tourney jitters took her out of 2nd place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l--ctBghBE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puIYvWOMur4 |
We had a random draw doubles match last night at a 20 hole course. A few pro's showed up and two of them got paired as a team. They came real close to getting a 2 on every single hole, but missed a short putt on hole 19. That elusive -20 was so dam close, but man that was fun to watch.
https://www.memesmonkey.com/images/m...4243d127f.jpeg |
I'd watch it.
A documentary about disc golf through the eyes of 5x world champion, Paige Pierce. Guess I'll throw some money on it and get a sweet disc. |
Now we’ll start seeing the Linda Lindas out on the disc course!
|
lol ok
Grow the sport. |
