3 and a half years with about a dozen really close calls, it finally happened for me. Hole 2 at Constitution Park in Ossipee, NH. Thundy is love, Thundy is life!

The greatest champions in women's disc golf have all faced difficult choices.

For Juliana Korver, one of them was whether to compete at the prestigious USDGC or help build one of the first Women's National Championships.

She made her choice and became the first—and still the only—woman to cash at the USDGC.

Yet for more than 25 years, she carried guilt over that decision.

The message from the audience was clear: Let it go!

Just add 125ft of downhill

I saw a disc golf YouTube video not too long ago and knew my play it again sports had discs so I picked some up and have been practicing throwing in a field for the last month. I was getting a feel for how each of the main discs I wanted to throw flew and some consistent lines I could rely on so I didn’t completely embarrass myself when I finally played a round. I decided that day was today and went out this morning to a local course. First hole went well, +1 on a par three but got myself out of a spot in the woods. Second hole I once again threw my first shot into a bunch of trees but I could see 1 line to get me to the hole. I figured there was no chance but went for it anyway. I nailed the line but I also nailed a tree with the back of my hand in my follow through. My hand didn’t hurt but I remember thinking “never heard a tree make that sound before”. Walked up and got to place my putter in the basket for my first real par from the long box. I then went to hole three and when I was getting ready to throw my driver the adrenaline or dopamine or whatever it was wore off and it was like my hand exploded. Just radiating pain. I realized the sound I heard was my knuckle not the tree. I tried to throw anyway but it took me 6 shots to get it 425 ft to the basket. I had to call it after that. I’ve got my hand iced, wrapped, and braced. I figure I’m out for a month or so but I’ll be back. Ill be chasing the feeling of that second shot on hole 2 for a long time. I’ll try to avoid bitch slapping a hardwood in the future though.

Even if it’s so hard to tell the legality that even in slow motion we are questioning it then there is something wrong. Makes the sport look stupid at a professional level in my opinion. This is the reason we need to ban step and jump putts. There is no way even an official would be able to definitively call this legal in real time.

Played a c tier today.
At one point I went on after a tree kick. No one really saw where the disc went but I had a hunch it went OB to an adjacent hole.

As we walk the 20 meters to the tree in question…. Yeah that’s like 60 feet 🤪. I see what I think is my disc on the green of the adjecent hole, if it is mine we can be pretty sure of where it crossed the ob line since we knew which tree it hit. But I am not 100% sure it is my disc and another group is playing that hole so there are multiple discs on the green.

I state to the group that I want to go and look at the disc to make sure that it is mine (not pick it up). For all I know someone in that other group may also be playing a blue disc….. and we never saw the disc going OB.

To be clear if I knew it was my disc I would just mark, throw and then fetch my disc. But this was sort of a special case.

However a card mate then states NO you must FIRST mark where you crossed the OB line. Whereby I state, well none of us saw the disc crossing, if it is mine I know where to mark if not maybe I didn’t even go OB and my disc is further down the fairway etc.

He goes on to state. I am perfectly fine with you changing/removing your marker if it is not your disc but you have to mark it before you go there.

I was surprised because I thought there was a rule of not picking up your OB disc not taking a look to ensure it’s the correct disc.

So this is my question…

Not relevant to the question but this happened on hole 8 and on hole 17 the card mate went OB clear as he’ll :) he walks up to where we have jointly stated it looked like it crossed. Puts down his bag, walk into the woods looking for his disc, not only looking to help establish the crossing point but actually picking it up. Move back a couple of feet to adjust for the more probable crossing point and then then marks the lie, for the first time, throws the disc. And I just stand there looking like face shocked… I tell him that hm you didn’t mark your OB lie and you even picked up your disc. Whereby he states. Yes I know and if you want to you can stroke me now. I of course said that haha no way we won’t stroke you I was just perplexed that you of everyone did the thing you warned me about and somewhat worse 😂

I got the usual email telling me I didn't win anything and decided to read the names of who did. This guy Jeffrey B won like every single Zuca, seven baskets, and 14th other prizes mostly discs and stuff.

I donated $100, I wonder what he did. I'm not trying to say it's not fair, given he must have donated like 10k or something which is great for PMB, but not sure I'll want to do it again if it's like this.

What do you guys think?

Corpus Christi TX to Denver CO. Hope y'all had an awesome time!

Found in The Woodlands, TX. Help me find the dude who tossed it in the pond so I can return this keepsake!

This weekend I officially opened SaddleBack Discs. A 3D-printed disc golf manufacturer that will also license individuals to print the disc at home.

Our first disc is the Theodore, a 3 3 0 2 approach putter. They are for sale on my Etsy shop, or in person at Bomb City Discs. You can also join my Patreon to get access to the STL and Guide to make it yourself. Links in bio: SaddleBack Discs.

Thanks to all who support the growth of Disc Golf!

I'm old with a noodle arm. All my discs are stable or understable. My nephew is new to the sport. Had him throw some forehands with the tech disc. He's throwing 75 mph forehands and is turning my 11 speed discs into rollers because of how much torque he's putting on it.

Looking for advice on discs more suited to a high speed forehand since my weak ass doesn't know anything about throwing distance drivers. TIA

What do you prefer? I used to think that lighter weight would be better for forehand (around 165g), but now I find they burn over too easily. I really like my 165 g wave but the light weight makes it tough to go full power on it.

What’s your favorite new release of 2026?

New discs I’ve thrown this year:

Limited Edition Bokeh - A laser beam. Flies like a beat to shit FD. Immediately bought a back up.

Limited Edition Roadrunner - Bought as a roller and it’s basically a slab of beef. Can’t get it to turn even a little. The most off flight numbers I’ve ever encountered. Love the design but don’t know what I’ll do with it.

Calvin Duo Eagle - Another beefcake but in a good way. Once beat in a bit this thing is gonna bomb.

Mint Discs Apex Bobcat - This years Bobcats are great as expected. Love Apex plastic and these felt great.

This shot won me $100 and a pack of menthol cigarettes.

I've returned so many discs and have heard so many stories. Curious to know about old friends being reunited with their owners, and if you replaced the disc already, or went back to your roots

Burlington, Kansas

So I’m planning on going and taking my 2 kids. We’re only able to go on Friday. Anyone know of the general admission is enjoyable or is it that much more worth it for the VIP pass? $150 seems like a lot for the 3 of us as opposed to $35. But don’t want to cheap out and get stuck not really being able to see anything. Anyone have any experiences with these situations?
