Women’s disc golf clinics attract wide range participants, create young fans
If I had known it would be the subject of an article, I’d have approached this event much differently. We think and act much differently when we’re wearing our journalist hats (you know, the fedoras with ‘Press’ taped on the … Continue reading
Disc review: Walking Stick (wood!)
When I first became aware of Flywood disc golf discs (thanks to the reader who brought the company to our attention) my initial reaction was intense curiosity. Wooden discs that are meant to be thrown and used in actual disc … Continue reading

Disc Golf Book Excerpt: The environmental impact of disc golf vs. ball golf
For those who don’t know, I’m working on a book project where my productivity has been on-and-off depending on the demands of my ‘day’ job. I have posted a few excerpts of the book here in the past, all pulled … Continue reading
2013 Masters Cup: Plenty of Santa Cruz locals to watch
Every year in April, Santa Cruz, CA is not only the ‘Epicenter of Disc Golf’ – the label we gave ourselves in 1989 after the nearby Loma Prieta earthquake – but the center of the professional disc golf tour as … Continue reading

Gap Analysis: The science and art of navigating trees in disc golf
Many playing companions over the years have heard me mutter “I see holes” out loud at some point in my pre-shot routine during a round of disc golf. It’s a ‘go-to’ phrase of mine, and has been for probably 15 … Continue reading

Casual golf’s competitive summit: the epic, friendly grudge match

PDGA vs. USGA membership: One way the barrier to entry is higher in disc golf than in ball golf

The three causes for taking extra strokes in disc golf- and how to avoid ‘em (if possible)
