They are just really REALLY big kites and you can use them to pull you on the snow or on a mountainboard or buggy.

Usually I am a part time touring professional disc golfer in the summer. But have been plauged by injuries since Sept 2006. Broken Ankle, broken rib, broken hand, and now I messed up my throwing shoulder my first time riding in fresh powder. Too much weight on the lead foot...FLIP landed on my shoulder. After a month finally have full range of motion back, but still a lot of pain.

Back to Disc Golf in 2008 however!!! Woo!

Not even close. It used to be called Frisbee Golf back in the day when it was invented because they were using regular frisbees. However now the discs barely resemble a frisbee. Most discs have a beveled edge making them more aerodynamic enabling them to fly farther and faster. Golf discs are also more dense then a regular frisbee. Your typical Ultimate disc will be about 30cm wide and 175g. A Golf disc will be 22cm wide and 175g. You definitely can't play catch with them.

Also they don't have as much float as a regular frisbee, they fall out of the air faster. A right handed beginner throwing backhand will have their discs fall hard to the left after a short flight. They require a greater rate of rotation to stay flying straight. (It is just not throwing a frisbee). To give a good distance example. The furthest I have thrown an Ultimate disc is approximately 225ft. (50yd line on a football field making field goals). But a golf disc I have thrown 530ft.

The object is just like regular golf. You have a tee box, fairway, hazards and a goal. However instead of a hole in the ground, we use a chain link basket mounted on a pole. You need to disc to stay hanging in the chains or resting in the basket. Most disc golf holes range in average from 270-500ft. With the mean around 340ft. Most disc golf courses are 18 holes, however there are a few that are only 9 and some that have more.

Photography is cool, do you have a website or something?

Travis Hightower · « **Reply #13 on:** February 23, 2008, 05:22:43 PM »

not yet, im working on it. im moving to louisville ky in july and ill have one a few months after that. im trying to be a skateboarding photographer but the nashville scene isnt all that great, these kids are...ok but no one really pushes the envelope much. so its hard to get pictures that really stand out.

but louisville has this huge concrete skate park thats about the size of a football stadium and ive seen kids get mad air and bust 720s and all kinds of transitions. (plus people ride it when it snows which is a major plus for me haha i love snow covered skate parks)

so after i move ill put up a site. all i really have right now is some nashville city scenes, some macro
flower shots, and im working on a "homeless people of Nashville" book, so a few gutter portraits.
