NEFA DISCussion

I heard that DanO was letting the reigning GREEN JACKET winner pick the layouts.

He felt bad because he knew that I couldn't compete with the rest of the pros if we played any holes over 250 feet and that I wasn't going to be able to win any of Jason Southwick's consolation money because he was ...

I'll be there

One word:

STINGRAY



End of thread.


Seriously. This is the most perfect anhyzer disc ever, except it's even better than that. Brand spanking new, out of the box, if you throw it nice and straight and flat and hard, it will anhyzer wherever you want it to, and then gently glide back at ...

I really do not understand the draw of hs reunions (for people like me). I mean seriously if you havent seen the people in x amount of years then could they really be that important to you anyways? In my opinion they seem to be a waste of a perfectly good weekend night, which in my world are ...

Jon Wise will be making his first New England appearance in quite a few years - can't wait for Saturday!

This will be my first chance to play it in a few years while fully healthy and reasonably well practiced, so it's not very likely Daryl will be takin' that cup home again...

Wow!

Josh I'm definitely in - I'll do the pre-reg soon.

So who's coming up for this? Should I just have Bob mail me the $500 and save the hassle of golfing all day, or do we have some people showing up?

You're not going to change it from being the most lefty-friendly course in New England are you?

I've learned the pressure is way off if you can go 10 for 10 from 15' and 20' ... if I can just become a little more consistent from 40' ... that's where I struggle the most from but it's getting better. I love this game

And that's the whole point! If you can get to the point where anything ...

Are all your distances in one straight line from the basket? Last time I tried it, I stratified the markers, so I was shooting from a different angle with each increase in distance. It worked well from 40ft out, just a change of pace, instead of shooting the same line


Yes, straight line for ...

That's a good point Jason, that does ring a bell. Makes more sense too, as it seems a bit silly to penalize you MORE for missing the longest putts, when those are the ones you'd logically screw up anyway. Especially you.

The exception is the shortest ones, which are -10 or something aren't they?

Rather than waiting for me, you dinalings should have gone to the start of the thread, where the rules are listed - that's the only way I could figure it out!

Anyway, here's what it says:


So for every one you miss, you lose DOUBLE what that putt was originally worth. And if you then miss any ...

What is your position with regards to the rules, and foot faults in particular?

>>> It's a good game and will really help with your putting but eventually you get to the point where you're trying to nail all your putts from the shorter distances in order to score double points. There's too big a difference between 9 out of 10 and 10-for-10>>>

*Eventually*?? For me, that's ...

A quick note to point out that Pro Open for the DDGC is nearly half-full and we're 3 months away from the event. Registration for Open is restricted to 20 participants this year, so don't get shut out.

As a special thank-you from Bob, players who have yet to miss a DDGC (in all its incarnations ...

Just gotta' put in a plug for a fantastic course. Definitely worth checking out!

Josh, do we know the format of the long drive and putt contests? How will it work, how many get paid, etc.?

Portland

One word: Wizard

First threw one between rounds at a Barre tournament a couple years ago. I up and switched putters right then and there in the middle of a tournament. I bet it took 3 strokes off my game immediately. What an incredible disc. Any time I'm withing about 220', I throw the Wizard and ...

6 rounds on the Beast at the annual Iron Man tournament at Enman.

If you've never done it, you should come up - it's a great day of golf!

Could be my inaugural points tourney of the year! Lets get some good sign ups for this one.
Alex 5-5-5? I like to boost my winnings for the day.


Pozzy putting, whos on for a game?
Ill post my results soon.


Of course you're on for 5-5-5.

And if I can get the time this week, I'll do the ...

I ain't scared.


Of Feldberg anyway.



Or Dussault, obviously.




But I haven't cleared this one w/ the wife yet...d'oh

Mike, the mind is willing but the shoulder says no effin way.


What he's saying is he doesn't want to lose all his hard-earned (i.e. sitting on his ass while disc golfers throw cash in a box) money to me tomorrow.

Too bad, I was so looking forward to it.


Can't wait! Dr. Doug, hope to ...

I would think the wood is NOT part of the teebox.


As for the last question about follow-through outside of 30' - you can do whatever you want from out there.

--Josh

I've been playing in that division for years! I also call it "NEFA, Pro Open"




I'll be at Dragan on my birthday, 1/15. See you then.

Josh, what's the format? 2 rounds, starting at 10:00, short lunch break?


Your idea of not flooding the schedule is a good one, but unfortunately you'll get less exposure that way, and thus less money for me to win. What about some type of notice that's on the "current events" section, that just ...

>>> Buff hole 14B up top is terrible

One of my favorite holes at Buffumville. I'm a lefty, and it takes such a perfect anhyzer to get the deuce. And it's terrifying because it's a blind shot around water, plus you have to worry about getting stuck in pine trees. If you want to play it really safe ...
