New World Record

I looked on Millennium's homepage and saw that the distance record for women was broken on Juloy 30 of this year. Some chick named Nyloofar Rahmani threw 153 meters (That's 501 ' and 11.62 "). So Breta, that is the number you have to beat. And hopefully the rest of us can throw that far too. Anyone know what the men's record is? I've heard of people throwing in the 800's. It's cool to hear about rercords being broken and see how far we are from them.

My first coment

I'm Brian Johnson And I like disc golf.

A Great Loss

While some mourn the passing of Senator Kennedy today I am feeling a much deeper and significant loss. On hole 3 at Eastern Avenue Park my second throw with my Star Wraith (a present from Breta) overshot the hole and landed in Duck Creek. It has been raining for the last several days so the Creek is higher and faster flowing than usual and perhaps even murkier than usual. I waded around searching with my feet for my prized disc, but to no avail. I get comfort knowing that its second throw overthrew a par 5 hole (an easy par 5, but a par 5 none the less). May it be found by an honest soul who calls my number on the disc.

(Aerobie) Epic Disappointment

So when Dad gave me the Epic disc I was very excited to try it because..well mainly it looks sweet but another reason was because of its tomahawk capabilities that I had heard of. Supposedly you can make this disc fly upside down for a full drive distance and then it will flip rightside up giving it a second life and going another long distance. I have read online on how to do this and heard people say that they have seen it done but I have never seen it done in person or even online. I've taken the Epic out to a football field and thrown it around bending it and trying to tweak it like described online but so far it has not been impressive in the slightest and I am starting to wonder if it is even worth the effort. So far I have to say that this Aerobie disc is just an Epic piece of crap. Has anyone ever seen someone make proper use of it?

New Personal Best

I got -3 at Eastern Avenue Park on Monday, beating my previous low score of -2. It is one of the easier courses here, has some par 5's that should be par 3, but also has some very difficult par 3 shots. On the third hole I got to jump into Duck Creek after two of the Elders threw their discs into the water. (floating discs have been a great investment for us here). We had a big thunder/rainstorm the night before so the creek was very full. I played the rest of the game completely soaked and got to jump in after one more disc on the back 9. Some of the tee's were completely under water, so it made for an interesting game. I double bogied the second to last hole and got my score to -1, thankfully I eagled the last hole and ended up with my -3. I'm pretty sure I'll beat that score soon. I've increased my distance a lot recently by adding more whip and some steps to my drive. I like the improvement.

Accesories

Breta had a good idea, well I think it is a good idea. After we make shirts we could go on to make scorecards, towels and such with our logo. Maybe we could do one thing a season or something. I don't know. Let me know what you think of my ideas.

Pictures

Do you have any pictures of you disc golfing? Send them to me to help beautify the site.

The Boss

I got a champion boss for my birthday from Stephen (thanks Stephen!). I really like it. It is a heavy disc, does very well in the wind, and have been getting it a little further than my Wraith when I have thrown them side by side. I'm really enjoying it. I've been discing with the elders lately and one of them bought an R-Pro boss, 150 g. It floats in the water and is much lighter and flexible than my boss. It feels thinner too, less substantial. More like a wraith, but too light for much wind. That is the next disc I plan on purchasing. Will probably be a while.

The shirts

The shirts are going to be cool, that is all I know about them. I think we should hire Jared (if he's not too expensive) to design our logo and shirt. We can include his fee, spread out through all of us, in the price of each shirt. Who is in for shirts? Sound good Jared (and everyone else)?

More members

OK, right now Stephen and I are the only ones I know for sure are in this club. We need more people.

Tournaments

Here is my idea on tournaments. I think it would be awesome to have a yearly tournament, starting next summer, with all of our members. We could have each member take a turn choosing the course we play at. I think we should have one of the Spokane people choose a Spokane course for the first tourney, we could probably all make it there. Maybe the next year we could go to Rexburg or Portland or where ever Stephen will be that summer and play there. Eventually we could have everyone come here to Davenport. I know it will be very difficult to get everyone in one place, but I think it will be fun. We'd each get a chance to be at a "home course" and have the advantage and we'd all get to play new courses instead of playing the same ones over and over. Plus we'd all get to hang out. Let me know if you think this is doable or if we would rather do a tournament in Washington every year. I love the courses here and would like everyone to get a chance to play them.

The Name

Hyzer Dragons is not set in stone. Do you have any suggestions on a better name? We want one that we could make a cool logo for and we wouldn't be ashamed of.

Disc Golf Club

So, Stevio had the idea to form a disc golf club. I liked the idea. We want to have cool shirts with logos, maybe have some tournaments, and talk about our favorite discs, courses, etc. It thought this site would be cool to list our personal bests on courses and stuff too. Post whatever you want.
