On a sunny 70-degree day we find ourselves backing up at tee boxes while others play through their huck. Most of the time this is all good and fine. Sometimes there is a bigger group that just backs you up without even realizing what’s going on. Sometimes it is nice and proper to have your group, of 6, step aside and let the few golfers behind play through. Sometimes it’s nice to get a great score. But really; it all really is fine. It is all about being out there to have a good time with a sport you love.

People don't know what etiquette set to apply to a course- most of the time. I ask that you stop for a second and drop a line. What is it, that "ercks" you on a course. I've noticed one, well let's coin a term; Eticiple, to describe them.

After smoking a cigarette at Druid Hill I flicked the cigarette butt. No, rhyme-or-rhythm; just didn't think. A friend let me in on something he had picked up over time. Dropping your cigarette on the ground is just not done there, or at least preferred not to have done. I guess it really is common courteous to not do that anywhere. I just didn't really think about it- Eticiple one.

Lets get a list of Eticiples going. Just drop-a-line of something that is done on the course that could erck someone.

10% chance of precipitation. 30%: Doesn't seem like much of a difference but apparently this 20 percent warrants a vicious thunderstorm image. The hour drive to Cordus Park might not be the best idea today: Very disappointing.Cordus Park's... Read More

So many courses to choose from when not confined by weekday travel time. As mentioned, a new course will be discussed every week. Pennsylvania was mentioned as a worthy trip for disc golfing, during the enlightening 18 at Scaboro. The objective was to... Read More

I have yet to visit a Virginia course. Checking out this site will give a good deal of options when you dwindle the search option to city and state. Being unfamiliar to the area leaves me at a loss for an experienced recommendation. Flipping through... Read More

A round of golf- how long will it last? Last night I squeezed 18 into post work play, arriving at 7:15pm. A lost disc pushed our Druid departure past 8:30pm- not bad. Light was a little forced meaning the final holes were lit by an eye's adjustment... Read More
