Playaa July 28, 2003 Share Playaa Member July 28, 2003 myself and Jello (my friend attending with me) are bringing our Frisbee Golf discs so I expect Mag and Ratch to do likewise and you can show us new kids how the game is played. But are there any more games going to be played say at the Kemps? Like Ultimate Frisbee? Football? Are you old men up to moving much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty July 28, 2003 Share Fatty GC Founder July 28, 2003 I'm up for that! A golf trip is tentatively planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa July 28, 2003 Author Share Playaa Member July 28, 2003 seeing as how there probably isn't a frisbee golf course nearby we got 2 options: 1) we make up a course as we go (which is actually how I usually play since we don't have any courses nearby) or 2) we hope we are allowed to play frisbee golf on a real golf course.....mag and ratch will just hafta adapt to not hitting a basket and hitting a pole.

Magruter July 28, 2003 Share Magruter Member July 28, 2003 Oh Playaa if you only knew how close the frolf course is to the barn. My guess is maybe 10-15 minutes... It's a fun course ratch and I played it when we drove through a couple months back. So that takes care of that... As for ratch he won't be attending He starts med school the monday after fragfest so he has to get his life in order before he loses it again... But i'm positive phat will be joining us for a round or two. I also have plenty of discs if anyone is willing to learn i'll probably have at least 20 by the time fragfest comes around...

Magruter July 28, 2003 Share Magruter Member July 28, 2003 Here ya go: Hudson Springs Frolf course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa July 28, 2003 Author Share Playaa Member July 28, 2003 alright then you get the advantage on me then. I've never played with baskets....with us it's always hit the base of a pole or small tree or something else like that. I'll be bringing my driver (which is all scratched and unpretty because of asphalt) and a couple mid-range and putter discs. But I guess it don't matta since Mag's got ya all covered.

Magruter July 28, 2003 Share Magruter Member July 28, 2003 I think the kemps is only a couple more miles down 303 west of route 8?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidSide July 28, 2003 Share LiquidSide Member July 28, 2003 seeing as how there probably isn't a frisbee golf course nearby actually i don't know how far away it would be from kemps but in medina county at a park there is a frisbee golf course.... i know it slike 15 minutes from me, and i'm like 20 minutes from where the lan will be... i don't know though.

Magruter July 28, 2003 Share Magruter Member July 28, 2003 Roscoe Ewing Park This is the course that you are refering to.. Sounds pretty neat.. First frolf course in ohio, pretty cool!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty July 28, 2003 Share Fatty GC Founder July 28, 2003 The one in Hudson is probably a 15-20 minute drive. Do you have to have your own discs like on a golf course with clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magruter July 28, 2003 Share Magruter Member July 28, 2003 Yes I have a bag of discs. I probably have 7 drivers, 4 mid ranges and 3 putters. Using a different variety of discs depending on the shot. Wind, distance, angle of approach, and obsticles, similar to a theme of golf, yes... I think the little security hut at hudson has disc you borrow/buy... You should think about coming out fat... I've have a couple of discs you can use... But hudson lake come into play on the last three holes, i had to send ratch in there to fish one my disc out last time.. If you really want to know... http://www.innovadiscs.com/discs/index.html These are the types of discs that i throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa July 28, 2003 Author Share Playaa Member July 28, 2003 I also throw AN Innova disc....the midrange/putter I have is some generic brand that just says "Frisbee Golf Disc" but I like it alot....it flies nice and straight and far even though it's only 150grams. mag....is an ultimate frisbee disc legal in Frisbee Golf? We have a friend who plays and he uses one. Not saying it's an unfair advantage cause he's the only one that can hurl it that well.....just curious.

Playaa July 28, 2003 Author Share Playaa Member July 28, 2003 I have this disc...mine says it's a Driver but the website says it's "specialty". funny thing is that Walmart sells Innova discs (at least they did for a bit...went back yesterday and couldn't find any) but they're not crappy discs....good for beginners apparently.

Magruter July 28, 2003 Share Magruter Member July 28, 2003 I would ultimate disc are illegal since that do not meet the wieght and size of a frolf disc.. Just like an aerobie is an illegal disc.... I don't know about giving him an unfair advantage i'd like to see him putt with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratch July 29, 2003 Share ratch Member July 29, 2003 lol trying to land a regular frisbee in a basket would be a heck of a challenge. you guys should definitely play that course mags mentioned that him and i played before. its a really fun course, the first nine are shorter and more obstacle-laden, the back nine more open and longer. just be sure to bring your swimtrunks in case mag throws his driver into the lake again - ROFL!

Magruter July 29, 2003 Share Magruter Member July 29, 2003 LOL!!! Hey ratch you should check out the innova home page... They just came out with a new disc "The Viking" Looks like it could be a nice disc. I'm trying to find where i can pick one up at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa July 29, 2003 Author Share Playaa Member July 29, 2003 what's with the "wear" they talk about on the Innova page? How long does a disc usually last? my driver is in pretty bad shape because we don't have any real courses around so we make them up at our local park and whatnot.....and because of that it's all beat up and scratched because of asphalt.....does that really have an effect on it's flight since I can barely get it 70 yards anyway? I'm really looking forward to some Disc Golf at the Fragfest so you had better show Mag.....just quit the new job if they won't let ya go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magruter July 29, 2003 Share Magruter Member July 29, 2003 Sure i'll quit.. I'm gonna tell them about this within the first week of me working there... I'll make it down no worries there... Wear can be two different parts of the disc the edge or wing; nics, scratches, chunks of plastic taken off might have a drastic change to the flight of the disc. Also you have to look for warps. Does the disc have a level top?? Once they become warped their flights characterists will change... i.e. I have a cheetah that use to fly straight and die a little left, but now all it does is go right. I banged too many trees. But it's still something to throw. I also have a couple of disc that i beat up, if i need to throw them in a tree or bang the chains hard i'll bring those out... Wear is almost personal preference and how you throw your discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
