General Banter / Re: What putter do you throw, and why?

« on: June 06, 2013, 03:18:15 PM »

I putt with G1i Wizards (the ones that look and feel sort of like porcelain).  I do pretty much all approaching with them as well, but also carry a couple of MVP putters for driving.

Would any of the league regulars be interested in helping with the 2013 season?  Experience is not necessary, and it's a good way to get involved in the club.

Let me know if you've got any questions!

Legacy Park - Lee's Summit / Stepping up to run Legacy league

Legacy has been a rotating group of league runners for a couple of years, but no one this year has been able to commit to doing it.  Would any of the league regulars be interested in helping with the 2013 season?  Experience is not necessary, and it's a good way to get involved in the club.

Let me know if you've got any questions!

I'm pretty sure the cap is 90 people. This tournament normally fills early, so get in while you still can!

Dan, those look amazing. I have some ones Jeff did last summer that I really like, but your technique has really come along. To will be getting discs coming your way at some point. I just need to buy some lighter colors.

Peter said what I was going to type. I think his numbers are accurate.

Will has God given talent to throw like that.

I think first we need to address how far you want to throw.  Regardless of what most people lead you to believe, less than 1% of all disc golfers throw over 400' consistently on flat ground.

Personally, I think getting accuracy inside 350' is the most important thing before trying with a full reach back.  Generally, you need a bigger reach back to throw midranges north of 350' but you should be able to control a driver with shoulder turn and minimal reach back in that distance.

If you had 500 pretty new players on 1 weekend, where would you put them?  It's more of realizing what course fits them best as well. Think of corporate challenge as a philanthropic way to reach out to the community.

While the Corporate Challenge calendar isn't out, Disc Golf is traditionally the first weekend of the Challenge, and is held at Swope on both Saturday and Sunday.

Hmm, let me think about #5...

Rosedale's UT is picturesque.  In the far right, it's a great shot as well.
DU is nice as well, being a blind shot to a green against the angle of the disc
That hole at Cliff always has my number.  It's feast or famine there for me.
PC is nice, but with the loss of trees it's not too hard.
I love that hole at Swope.  It's not long, but that sweeping anhyzer is great.

However, I think I'd have to go with WW #5.  It's an extremely challenging pin in all locations, and is picturesque to boot.
