Curious what weight you’re throwing?
A friend gave me a star-light wraith and I’ve only thrown it a few times but think it has potential.

I'm throwing 175, 173 and 171 for the most part. I like trusting stability and straight to straight/hyzer finish. I do throw some big anhyzers with the vandal and a beat in Grace.

One of my favorite discs is the Teebird or the TL. It is listed as a 'Fairway Driver' but I feel like it would be a great driver for a beginner. The Teebird is the original name of the disc and TL stands for 'Teebird Long'. It is a little more understable version of the Teebird.
I will also say that the Mako3 is another one of my favorite discs. I am currently bagging 2 of them.

It's the Portland swing for the disc golf pro tour. Saw Kyle Klein at Blue Lake on Monday while we were playing league. He was out there shooting a video. Gonna swing by Huk Lab today and have Ohn and Sexton sign a few discs. Lot's of guys playing Pier which is 5 minutes from my house, so hoping to run into some dudes.
Planning on checking out the PDX open this weekend of BSF next weekend, just haven't decided yet.

New Discs in the Bag:
- Opto Ice Pure - this thing glides forever
- L64 Strive - It's like a 13 speed Grace. Might be overtaking the Tern.

Trying to combine this hobby with a modicum of aerobic exercise so I've created a little game where I see how long I can play the local 9 near me and then add or subtract my score to the time it took me to complete. Speed discing, if you will. Lose a disc, clock runs while you look for it. Kinda fun when you're alone as a little self-challenge. It's also kind of helping with my putting as I just get to the disc and putt it (same disc). Less time to let my brain mess me up.

Good times!
I have happened across a group of dudes playing the local high school with just two discs: they run between throws and alternate discs. It gets hectic near the basket as I am pretty sure they are racing, and they do not wait for each other to throw

I don't have any friends but if I did, I'm sure this might be the way I peace outta here.

Hot damn... Milo McIver looks amazing right now. I haven't had a chance to play in the gold layout which combines the best of the both 18 hole courses.
Ian Anderson showed up played our doubles league Wednesday at Pier Park. Nice guy. This town has been buzzing the last two weeks with tour players and events all over town. I love this time of year.

I'm on a winter team golf league and we play every 3rd Sunday during the winter months. This past week we played a team that has one of the best young players in the country, Dallas Garber. If you haven't heard of him he's probably going to be better than Cole Redalen. In fact, he's already been beating Cole and the other top players in the state the past few months. Anyway...matches are both morning and afternoon and you can end up playing in a singles or doubles match depending on what the captain wants to do. It's all based on ratings, so it's net matchups and not just gross scores.
Sure enough after lunch and during the announcements of the pairings I got matched up against Dallas! He's a super nice kind and awkward as you'd expect for 16 years old. I think I was getting 9 shots from him for a 21 hole match. I missed the mando on hole one, doubled it and was 2 strokes down right out of the gate. I played -4 the rest of the round and thought I was getting smoked as he rattled off 9 birdies in a row at one point. Turns out he needed to make a 40 foot step put to an elevated basked on 18 to win the match by one. Fun times!

Way to hang with a young gun!
Sounds like a great day and an interesting format.
My weekend pales in comparison but I was able to play 18 holes for the first time since February.
Sad to say I will end ‘24 with 4 rounds of DG.
Elbow and wrist are pain free so hope for a much better.

@General Malaise and his sons came out to the pro tour event in PDX this past weekend on championship Sunday and we had a good time. They got to see Simon, Eagle, McBeast and loads of other superstars up close and personal. Good times.
Next up is to play a round with them a week from Saturday.
I'm headed to Worlds in Minneapolis in July!

Nice. Several people I throw with in my local leagues are going up there for Worlds. I may try to get in on that next year. I don't really understand the system but I'm sure I'll have enough points to go.

Thanks for inviting us and BIG THANKS for letting my boys throw a couple of your discs! They would much rather play than watch so you saved the day and bought us extra time for another round of beers on a perfect weather day in Portland. What a venue! I've been dreaming about throwing off Hole 5 or 6.....whichever one had that steep drop-off from the T-pad. Man, I'd love to play that one this summer.

I ended up in 13th place out of 76 guys in MA55.
I was in 5th place on the chase card going into the final round. I made the cut after Friday (top 40%) so I figured I was playing with house money. Took too many chances that didn't work out and dropped from 5th to 13th.
But I had three great rounds during the week and I threw two shots in from more than 100 feet, one for birdie and one for eagle. Got to meet some cool guys and it was really a physical and mental test to play 5 competitive rounds in a row.
Beaver State Fling is this weekend! Back at it.
