Once again I show up at a course I have never been to & my Frisbee family does not disappoint, I am welcome at the weekly, just a bunch of cool heads, ya got to love this game!

I must admit I have been slowing down on collecting plastic but at the same time I feel like I have a good feel for what is out there. Then a disc comes along that I had no idea about, that is the case with this Tee-Rexx X, a prototype. I had not got anything for some time but when I found this, I had to have it! So even with all my discs there is always a surprise around the corner & I guess that is what keeps me interested after all these years! The connections are a big part of it too, I can not make the collector convention this year but I hope to next year. So keep turning over stones, there are gems out there!

Chatting with my old pal Lightnin Lyle he told me his DR. said " Disc Golf is not a workout" Well I guess it is how you go about playing because if you speed up play you get your heart rate up. To me getting your heart rate up is the deffinition of exercise. Yes plenty of courses are short & flat but even there you should be able to get the job done. I know for a fact that when you play my home course no matter how you go about it, calories get burned, from the almost 10 min walk just to get to the first tee to all the up & down hills, not to mention chasing after your disc after one of the legendary roll aways! Lyle you get your Doc out here for a different point of view!

I played some golf in a new state last month, I got out to North Carolina & played 2 new courses! If I am keeping tract correct I think that is 33 states I have played at least 1 course in! Here I am at Pier Park north of Portland, the best new course I played was Evergreen in Olympia Wa, it was super green had some long holes & I played with some cool heads!

My niece Jasmine gets her name on the progressive trophy, great shooting & nice job CHAMP!

Ok! I am back up & running again, look for a bunch of photos in the future.

I played the game with Ryan on his days off this week, Tuesday we played Skyline I was -6 bogey free feeling good thinking I am ready for Vintage Cup, then we head out to play Berkeley & I throw 3 in the water! On a dead calm day! Well Braxton & Leo were with us & we had a Philly Cheese steak! San Francisco in the background.

Last few times I have played Disc Golf I have encountered new players. They are easy to spot, they are the folks having the most fun. My game wavers & it is troubling when you miss a putt you think you should have made, or you have a shot off the fairway. Playing with new players keeps things fresh, the oohs & ahhhs are what the game is all about. My round today had shots that made me happy, I guess that is why I have been playing the game weekly for the last 4 decades! Get out there make new friends & grow the sport!

Greg Barsby 2018 Disc Golf World Champion! First time I spoke to Greg was at the San Francisco Safari many years ago, 2004 was the year.I was wearing a hoodie with the logo of a Swedish metal band named Bathory. Greg & I chatted about the band & got to know each other. Greg won that event! Years later I found myself storing my boat for the winter in Greg's home town, So for the next 2 years I would drive to Grass Valley ( 1 hour 45 min drive ) to drop off the boat in the fall & come back & pick it up in the spring, during these times I would contact Greg about a round of golf on his home course. We would chat about music & golf. I had not started playing guitar at that time but Greg was in a band drumming & singing! He got me thinking about being in a band too! He would tell me he was not very competative in casual rounds, well he got the job done at the highest level! Being from Southern California but having lived in Northern California a larger portion of my life I am proud of a local boy done good.
