Anyone play? My brother got me to play a while back and I thought it was the stupidest game ever. Now living at the beach and across the road from the Kure Beach course, I'm hooked. I played 5 different courses over the holiday between albemarle and highpoint. My arm is sore I'm throwing so much.

Any tips or best discs ideas? I have a pretty good set right now. But I'm still trying to find a good long driver that stays fairly straight (when I throw it correctly).

Got a favorite course? Played Fox chase down in albemarle and its second to kure just because I play kure all the time.
 
Thats a fancy name for frisby. :p
 
they have a nice course here close to my work at Southern Village, I walked it with my little girl awhile back but we were just out goofin and I did'nt have my discs with me. The Kiwanas has a nice course out near CCCC campus in Sanford, we used to play up there alot before I came to work in Chapel Hill. I enjoy it and it is a way to just get outside. My set is pretty simple I never really got into the whole "having 30 discs" thing. There is a course by the new Pittsboro library too, I may go check it out, haha I had forgot how much fun this is!!
 
I've been playing since 2003. Played real golf since 1993. Today I play disc golf every week and only play in one real ball golf tourny per year. I can't justify the expense and time that real golf takes up when disc golf is free and I get better exercise not being in a cart.

This is the chart I learned how to pick disc from

Don't try a disc with a higher first number (speed) until you've been playing for years.
My best driver is still a Roadrunner and it has a speed of 9.

My best advice with golf is, "drive for show, putt for dough". Keep it out of the woods and you'll be a player for life.

I work with a guy that was on the PDGA tour for a couple of years before he had kids. I never had any idea there were such a thing...

But I'm more a "leisure" golfer and hit the course to relieve stress during lunch when I'm pulling major OT. But grew up around the best course around. Worriors Path. :) Now in Raleigh, I hit mainly Kaplan Drive. Sharron Harris every now and then when I feel unchallenged.

Good info thanks. I'm pretty sure all my drivers are 12-13 hahahaha. But I do flick, I can't throw back hand. I'm making my self learn it now. We have a nice baseball field I can practice my drives in. I throw a katanna mostly now cause my disc craft crank found a pond last week. Got a boss I throw over hand and can kind of back hand. Most people hate how me and my brother throw over hand. Getting pretty good at getting out of trees.

I really like Kure cause its literally across the street and we fill one bag up with discs and the other with beer.
 
I flick and underhand and a 12-13 is way too much disc for me much less a beginner. If I were you I would sell those disc before you lose them.

Start with a 7 teebird and move to a 9 roadrunner when you start getting comfortable.
