Course Photo of the Day
Pichot State Park
Quakers Challenge
For some reason I
cannot picture this hole
in my head.
Lightning MX-1
Lightning's fastest driver to date by far, with a wing resembling all the other wide-winged drivers that go farther than anything just a few years ago. Flies like an understable Pro Boss, with a wing-width between an Orc and a Wraith.
Steve Howle, Lightning's founder, owner, general manager, office bartender and charwoman, had this to say about it:
"very fast with a long straight line glide--a little understable below 170 g--second run may be slightly retooled,- we won't cut anything until we run the Pro and Maxline plastic"
Holy Smokes what's Maxline plastic?! What a brave new world!
This is the very first run in Lightning's entry level (i.e. inexpensive and hence not as durable as other versions to come) plastic, and ushers in a new era for Lightning, which was quickly becoming the brand with very controllable discs preferred by beginners.
So move over Mr. Boss, Sir Nuke, and Father Halo, and make room for Herr MX-1. Someone please pinch me, just not too hard in case I'm actually not dreaming.

Some Funny Paw Paw Bits
Chuck Kennedy (Former PDGA board Member says)
He was trapped in the old 2002 rulebook where you used to take your lie on a lost disc at the last point the group saw it. The current rulebook requires the player to rethrow from their original lie on a lost disc which was the tee in this case.
Eric Beich says:
and also I believe the other players in the group, when asked? , are required to help look for the lost disc and have 3 minutes. if not found after 3 minutes of looking then the retee is required.
Jaime Gr8 Roc Shot Ruane's reply:
Yeah it's a brutal rule...but it is the current rule. Your buddy should have calmed down, took a breath and dealt with it. Sounds like a rule book is needed in your bag...someone in the group should always have one....just in case.
Justyn's Reply:
I guess I forgot to add, that I pulled the rule book out and read it aloud to the group. He then went back to retee, only to hit two more trees, Then decide the rules dont matter, and he was gonna take it where he wanted to. Should have been a DNF.
Jaime Gr8 Roc Shot Ruane's reply:
Wow...he should've definitely eaten some humble pie....You and your group were completely in the right on this one.

Sorry to Flame
But, this guy is a complete JACKASS!
"Headed up to Rutgers Disc Golf Course after work on Monday for lots of Disc Golf. It was a nice night to play and great to get out to Rutgers again. I got my 407th, 408th, 409th, and 410th Aces".
After personal e-mails from this douche, pleading how he has actually not "CUBBY" aced all his holes. All I can say is , Fawk you ass-clown!
You have made a joke of the sport.
Get a life ass-nugget.
Joke of the Day:
Did Cubby ACE Today?
Nope, He played a round with someone else!
Did Cubby Ace ever with anyone else as a witness? (2x)
How Many Aces without anybody else? 418? BWAH!
This still kills me, This guy actually has e-mailed me before
pleading his case.
High-larious!

The ION
MVP Disc Sports, a family owned and operated golf disc manufacturing outfit based in Michigan, has introduced its first disc. The Ion is a stable putter comprised of two different kind of plastic; the firm Electron Plastic forms the rim, and the flight plate is a more malleable blend called Proton Plastic.
The first batch of Ions sports a red rim with a blue middle that’s fairly soft, and all of them weigh between 165 and 167 grams. It feels great in the hand, flies straight with a gentle fade at the end of an extended glide, and grabs the chains as if it’s bonding with them on a molecular level. MVP Disc Sports plans to produce its brainchild in a wider range of weights, a rainbow of colors, and varying degrees of flexibility.
