Default Who here are fans of frisbee golf?

Just curious to know how many of ya are into frisbee golf. Round here it's really starting to take off.

My bro and I have been playing for about 2 and a half years now and, unlike me, my brother has become one of the best players in the state. In fact, last year at the state frisbee golfing championship, he beat the next best player by 4 full strokes in 27 holes... He's recorded 10 hole in one's and can throw with an accuracy that I've never seen before.

Anyways, because we are from South Dakota (state bird = ring neck pheasant), and my uncle is the president of the disc golf association, I was asked to design the next years disc. Let me know what you all think! I'll be adding color to it soon to see how that looks as well.

ANYONE INTERESTED, PLEASE POST ANY INTERESTING FRISBEE GOLF FACTS..

frolf discs come in an assortment of sizes and shapes. They are generally smaller than regular frisbees and usually quite a bit heavier. There are long range drivers that have different degrees of "hook" to them, mid-range drivers, and puttes.. The mid range driver is generally not as aerodynamic as a long range driver. Putters usually have a deep lip that allows the disc to float a little more.

The discs come in all different weights too.. Normally, a good long range driver will weigh about 174 to 175 grams...
