I soooo wish I could work Grip.  I'm one hell of a seamstress...

General Banter / disc bag specifics?

« on: October 29, 2013, 08:41:38 AM »

  So, what do you look for when you are searching to buy a new disc bag?  It seems to me that the market is becoming (dare I say) flooded with options, and I am just curious at what everybody likes/dislikes.

Was it the city or the discing community that trimmed up WW? Just curious.

Just voted. Cracked the top 3, but still pretty far behind walking/hiking and fishing.

Found and Lost / Re: Lost white wraith WW

« on: July 21, 2013, 08:41:14 PM »

So, the wraith was found, but I don't know by whom.  The disc has my brother in laws # on it (trade), and he was contacted, thus giving the finder of the white wraith my number.  This finder of disc...I got a new phone the same day I lost disc...long story...maybe he called...still new phone excuse...Does anybody know the number of 816-719-9829.  I tried to call, and text him, but no response.  Let me know if you know who this individual is.  Thank you.  I will give adult drink reward to whomever gets the disc back in my bag.  Still, thank you.

Found and Lost / Lost white wraith WW

On Sunday, I left my 12x, white wraith on hole 18. I don't believe I picked it up, and left it just under the big fallen tree on the hill. Friendly adult beverage if found and returned. Thanks

I obviously don't know how to use the forum. That past post looks like an entire previous quote. Oops!

For those of you who have played Bryant Lake and Blue Ribbon Pines in Mpls., could you imagine that level of detail and attention applied to Water Works?

My brother in law and I had a chance to throw those courses and said the same thing. I know surrendering WW to become a pay to play would hurt a lot of feelings, but just imagine the possibilities. Walking up hole 6's fairway and there no erosion (grass!), or hole 5 where the run off creek is, that seems to breed Mosquitos, not being as grotesque after a good rain.

 
  I love WW, and it being rated a top 20 course is super. So why change a good thing? Because, think of the possibilities.

  Good luck to all throwing today on Independence Day. Be safe!

I picked one up due to its likeness to the Judge, except beadless. I wasn't comfortable with it enough putting, but fell in love with it on approaches. The stability is excellent, and is excellent up hill with a slight hyzer, and it will sit down with little or no roll. It doesn't seem to have much glide, so just put it on a flat line and watch it go. I even bought a back up and practice with it a lot.

Rumor has it that this tourney is full.  Is that correct?

So, the round is cancelled and wiped off the books.  They will be throwing their scheduled round at WW starting at 8:30.  I understand the safety issue, as well as the issue of fairness to all the advanced players, all though I wish there was a way to count a third round for them.  Good luck to them at WW.  It's completely saturated, with red mulch and broken limbs strewn everywhere.  Not to mention a tree is down on hole 7 (struck by lightning?), but is not obstructing the fairway.

I just got wind that I can help out at Rosedale on Friday at the 1:45 slot.  Just call me at 816.729.5696, or I will just show up.

This may be a stupid question, but here it goes;  Do I, as an intermediate participant in this lovely tournament, have to attend the opening ceremony at the Ramada on Thursday night, or can I simply go donate my $5 to WW league?

General Banter / Re: YOUR TOP TEN FAVORITE KC COURSES!

« on: June 06, 2013, 04:44:28 PM »

1. Water works. Not that DGCourse Review is official, but this course is consistently top 20 year after year. Also, my home course. So...
2. Blackthorn.  Seriously, it has a cemetery on its premise. Creepy, but kinda cool.
3. Swope.
4. Cliff Drive. With the terrain changes and woods early on, to the open air and (sometimes) huge gusts of wind that come outta the blue. Great city view as well
5. Down under
6. Woodhenge. The more I play this course, the more I love it.
7. Old pike. I just need to convince myself to join this club. Tuesday nights, random draw doubles, will have to suffice for now.
8. Wyco.
9. Prairie Center. I really dislike the new hole 13, but it's a challenge, and I can't let 1 hole blow an entire course. Oh, and the pond owns 2 of my discs. I suppose that's why PC isn't my #8.
10. Up top. The only reason it's this low is cuz of the infrequent mow schedule and how busy it gets on the weekend. Nobody's fault on the popularity, just sayin.

Haven't played Blue Valley, Birdland or PHill, but I've heard good things. Maybe next time.

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

« on: June 02, 2013, 02:55:07 PM »

  Ever year it seems that I choose a new putter.  It probably explains why it is not my strongest part of my game, but I keep working at it.  Currently I am going through a love for the Latitude Pure, which is much like the DD Judge, only beadless.  I have gone through my Challenger, Aviar, Wizard and even the Voodoo love periods, but keep insisting on change.  No real reason why, I just do. 

  So, what do you throw and why?  Just curious...
