Re: Disc (Frisbee) Golf at RTL



Hello people,
I'm from NS and though I haven't uni'ed or been invovled in a while,
since RTL was coming up I figured I'd check out the forums again to see
the buzz. I'm from Antigonish which is where the 4th stop for this
uber-trek will be, I believe. Its true there is only one course in NS,
in Amherst (though we just had a demo here and there may be one here
(Antigonish) by the end of the summer).

However we do have a bunch of Ulty players who are usually always keen
for a game. We generally meet once or twice a week with 10 to 15 guys
sometimes up to 20 and just play a couple hours. Its pretty informal,
usually barefoot, not overly competitive and just a solidly good time.
I may be leaving for Alberta this week but if not I'd be down for
getting a few guys out to play on the Thursday evening you folks are
here, if you're interested and assuming you are not too tired. Even
still not many things are more relaxing then just tossing around. If
I'm gone I'll tell some other guys and get them to show up. It actually
sounds like you guys will be landing for a welcome ceremony right at our
field.

Also I'll probably be bumming around (disc in hand) anyway. It'll be
cool to meet all of you guys. I was going to participate but it came
down to school being too busy for me to train, and its in my backyard
so I've always had a keen interest in this event.

If you guys have any questions about Antigonish (coloquially known as
the Nish) or NS in general don't hesitate to ask. There is indeed no
better spot to be in the summer.

Hey! Quit jacking this thread with your "ultimate" whatever nonsense.
;)

This is about disc golf. The only thing meant to catch a disc is a
basket.

You guys with your running and jumping... what's wrong with you? Why
spoil a relaxing game of golf?

Yes Maestro8 you're right. But remember LA Muni weekend '06? We managed
a pretty fun game of disc golf with no baskets at all! Just bring a
driver or two and a putter and we'll have some fun somewhere in NS.

an injury but I don't think anyones ever been hurt playing disc golf?

It's interesting when you see a "serious" disc golfer, with a bag full
of discs - like 14 discs. Each disc has slightly different
characteristics - different stability ratings. Yet there's a such
variability in the throw as to render slight differences in each disc
moot. Sure, you might want one stable and one unstable driver, a
putter, and maybe a midrange, but 14 discs?!?

From the point of view of an ultimate player (I've played it
competitively for 25 years), we use one disc and the arm's throwing
motion is what you vary for different curves. I was carrying 6, 7, 8
discs around the links, but I realized I really only need 3 or 4. I
still miss most of my putts :rolleyes: , but I tee off as well as ever
with just two drivers.

I've thought that too, but having never played - I don't really know.

Anyway it says you guys will arrive here at 6 (though since its a race
I imagine that's more of a general estimate, and you'll all be spread
out). You stop right at the field we play at, Columbus, and though
there might be something set up for you guys on the 'field' field, its
in a park so there is plenty of space. I'm looking forward to this.

There is a lot of rumblings going on about this thing, in the paper and
radio, and various posters etc. (RTL not frisbee). Best of luck to
everyone.

About a dozen of us had a great game of disc golf at the Gaelic College
the day after the race finished. No disc lost was a nice bonus, but
playing in perfect sunny nice weather, everyone feeling great after the
race was the best. Thanks to all of you who played.
