I lost my Star Wraith the other day

The one that went in the tree on hole 1 at Lippold....i am so sad now

that stinks. lost in the weeds? water hazard? up a tree?

What discs do you guys like to use?

 

[fishgeeksrus]

I have mostly innova discs. I've found that I really like throwing the valkyrie as my driver, my XD as an approach/mid range, and my rhino as a putter.

For someone just getting into the hobby/sport I highly reccomend a stingray, shark, and a putter that you like the feel of.

I have actually been throwing a valkyrie as my driver and have been doing very well with it.

i use eagle, panther, rhino. drive, mid, putt.
I should get a better driver though
For the longest time I only carried a gazzelle.

I prefer the flying v.

Oh snaps....we gotta get the beef out there!

I prefer the wraith in the star plastic and light weight for my driver.

And my birdie putter

I also really like the Beast in star plastic

So how do you kids play this game? What are the basic rules/objectives? Can I smoke while I play? :smokin: I might have to try this...

Let me know when you guys play again. Can I use the hobbit as my caddy? I looks like I may have to put the "all terrain" tires on my oxygen cart...:bum:

 

[craftytony]

hobbits can't pull much weight and they eat too much

Tonya-

As a groundskeeper do you receive a discount to play?

I've heard that they can't pull much. According to that new Sherpa company (Hob-nob) in Montana, they can take a huge load on their back. You should try them on your next trip to Brokeback mountain. I hear they are fed nothing but Yak sausage and are forced to wash and use deodorant (to keep the Vultures from circling your party). :thumbsup:

they have a course a few blocks from my house, maybe I should try it
It looks safer than the extreme skate park

 

[craftytony]

kizzle, just watch out for the hobbits!

I've played DG for years but kind of taken a break since there really hasn't been much interest from friends. My favorite courses more local to me have been Lombard (Madison Meadows 18), Mokena, and West Park in Joliet. All three of these courses have a good mixture of holes (long and short, open and wooded). My favorite discs have always been an Eagle, Valkyrie and a Stratus.

 

[craftytony]

volley - i think the oldest dg course in illinois is in joliet right?

 

[lovereefs1]

What the going rate for discs?

 

[craftytony]

$8 - $18 or so at the stores. I know play it again sports has them also.
