Post Blue Ribbon Pines

I don't have any flashy pictures and I don't have any scores, but I can tell you what is going on after my round at Blue Ribbon Pines. I've been working on my drives. I'm trying to get fluidity like my friends MidRange and Diggs have suggested. I still position my back to the basket before a big drive, but I've taken some effort off to ensure a flat release (hopefully) and a fluid motion. The new Vengie still rainbows (needs breaking in), but I can turn the Wraith over with some annie and a solid grip and I can easily make the Roadrunner finish right without even putting effort behind the throw. The next step is to get out there more often. I''ve heard , from my friend (who will now be called MBFKYLE), that Sioux Falls has a nice course. Hopefully I can hit that venue and work the throw. BTW I talked MBFKyle into buying a Buzz D. We'll see where he ends with that one. +1 to the purchase!!!

Ecstacy

We hit up Blue Ribbon Pines, a pay-to-play course in East Bethel this weekend. Located on a sod farm, it was out in the middle of nowhere, and very quiet. I must say, it was one of the best designed and well-maintained courses I've ever been to.

URBWes, the Kind and I played the 27-hole course through twice, and the jello-feeling in my arm is well worth it! I imagine the King will get some pics up soon. Buy my goodness, that was a great day of disc, boys!

So in an attempt to bring in some outside sources. ESPN just released an article on the sport of disc golf. Complete with quotes from the "Nature Boy" himself and also for some legitimacy "The Champ" as well. I read it and actually was proud that ESPN was giving it alot of good publicity. Makes me proud to be playing BRP today.

42 Holes, Two Amazing Courses, Two Guys, One Amazing Afternoon of Sunshine, Priceless

Today was a preparation day for our Pilgrimage to BRP. Doug and I decided to play a few courses and more importantly...42 Holes of DG. BRP as you may remember has 27 holes and we were thinking of playing maybe 2 rounds totalling well 54 holes. Arm Strength/Leg strength is key. So we practice.

First course: North Valley Park in Inver Grove Heights, MN just down good old Hwy 52.
Lets say...it was just a course to get the rust out. We skipped a hole somewhere so the score is ruled an incomplete. It wasn't good anyway. We figured it had been about two years since we last played it. Lost my DX Beast to the giant pond on 15. I knew I would...so I am not sad. I had found that disc anyway. {I found that disc about 4 years ago on hole 3 at Seratoma though. Sitting right next to the pin. Someone forgot it.}

Intermission: Subway Restaurant (Thanks Jarrod for putting them everywhere now)

Second Course: Kaposia (New Format too. We played the whole course...they have 24 holes now.) Let me just say that for playing 42 holes Doug and I had great rounds all around. the last 4 holes were crap because we ran out of gas. But overall Great rounds filled with amazing shots, some "World Champ Love" as they say. I believe in the near future there should be a course review for Kaposia composing of the new holes. Wish I would have had my camera.

Anyway here are the scores:
Diggs: 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 3, 6, 4, 4, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5 = 86 (so that's only 23 if you count them, gosh I need to take better score)
King: 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 6, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6, 3, 5, 5 = 93

Kaposia Pictures

Doug and I decided to make the trip south...about 15 minutes to Kaposia Park. We battled through wind, Torrential rain and Thunderstorms to play what we will call and incomplete round because we missed a few holes due to lack of signage.

Overall, it was good to get back to Kaposia...scores alone weren't the best but playing here again for me it was at least inspiring and refreshing. (humbling could also be inserted).
















A Finish....leading toward that uphill putt.

















A rather peculiar shot uphill.
















Doug on 18 after an OB. He would end up making this putt.

Hole 5 Black & White

Last Sunday, after work (6am) I decided that I wanted to play a round of disc golf before I went to bed for the "night." So I decided to go and I have to say it was absolutely beautiful. There was a beauty about playing at 630 am by yourself. You could hear every animal move it was simply great. I played really well as too. That was a bonus.

Here's the Score
3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, 3, 4, 5 = 65

On a Final Note

It was on this day that my beloved Pro Starfire went to be
with the god's of Disc Golf. It was on hole 7.
A Huge Anhyzer to the gods.

Quick post, but it'll play!
