Ace Race disc approved for tournament play

For everyone that played in our Ace Race back in October:

The 2008 Discraft Ace Race prototype disc has now been approved for PDGA tournament play. The disc may be released to the general public in the Spring of 2009, under the possible name of 'Nebula'. All existing copies of the disc are now legal for PDGA purposes.

I've been using my a lot this winter for short flick shots around corners. Plus, it's easy to find in the snow since it is bright orange!

Fore! Bad drivers ahead.

The only thing this has to do with disc golf is the word "drivers".

After the first one, my favorites are at the 2:00 mark and 2:50 mark. Oh who am I kidding, they're all pretty funny. Fore!

All the kids are doing it, so why not us?

Woody has been busy

A woodpecker or two has been going crazy on the course. Pretty impressive stuff over near holes 3, 12, and 18.

A few new photos and an afternoon round

I've added a few new ICO prep photos to the website featuring Rob, Gags, and Tommy.

I'll also be heading over for a round today about 1:30 if anyone wants to join me. It is too nice out not to go play.

55 degrees in February. Hill Yeah!
