To Chris Smith. Why don't you buy a starter set for the senior. Like at Dunhams. Let him get used to those and then he can take the reins from there. Just a thought.

I have helped a lot of people start up. I always make my choices based on how they throw. On average you can never go wrong with a Comet its a straight shooter, and shows you their throwing style naturally. If they are hyzering a lot I then recommend moving to stratus / glide / Meteor.
If they are anhyzering a bit, then move them over to a Rock / Buzz / Orc.
They beauty of disc golf is the many disc and styles of throw. So that's the best I can offer with out witnessing the shooter myself.

Let's say you were going to pick up three new discs for a friend that has just started playing. He is of retirement age, currently a ball golfer being converted, has only thrown a borrowed archangel and an avair so far, and currently drives equally forehand and backhand (his max distance is currently and respectably just past the big tree on 8). What discs, weights, and plastics would you pick up for his starter set?
If this is not an appropriate topic for this group I can always move it to my wall. Just let me know.
Thanks in advance.

From my understanding these are the bags your getting with the ace race this year.

please disregard any post about mid year event or nominations i will not be hosting an event nor will elections be held at said event.

I nominate Jason Lord for President.
Our #1 Chair needs to be filled by a person who is aware of other members undertakings. Whether it be a good round in
league play, a tounamnet someone attended or a new coarse that was played. The president should be every member's #1 fan.
I believe Jason is the right person at this tme.

Charlotte Players dominated the Recreational division at the 2011 Freeland Open taking 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Good job guys.

I noticed it, no smoking, chewing, e-cigarettes during play. Though as soon as your card is turned in you are free to smoke.
Patrick Fulkerson May 22, 2011 at 7:14am
Anyone notice the new policy change for PDGA, They are testing it out for worlds tournament (pro and amateur) Smoking of all kinds are prohibited, including E-cigarettes and chewing tobacco. Pending how it goes it will be in the fall ballot for rule book entry to used at all sanctioned tournaments.

There are sign up sheets for leagues down at Skid's shop or I can email to you. Your choice. Leagues will start the tuesday after the lp open, may 3rd.
Chris Smith April 8, 2011 at 10:51pm
When does the league start and how do we sign-up/pay?
Jason Lord April 7, 2011 at 4:12pm
League this year is going to run a little different than last years. The entry fee is $35 up front and includes a player pack. If you choose to pay the weekly fee of $3, you will not receive a players pack and will only be in the running for points. The players pack consists of a custom dry fit t-shirt, custom towel and a custom bag tag. That being said, if you decide to do the weekly pay and don't have the money to pay that day, you don't get points. Now for the good stuff, there is 2 ... more

Just dropping in to say "Hi" to everyone. I'm sitting here listening to the Tigers opening game of the 2011 season, thinking of summer and wishing I were at Lincoln Park. Keep up all of the great work CDGA! You guys really are a class act organization.
Jacob Hanley March 14, 2011 at 11:07pm
when will the sign up sheets for league be available?
Jim Knudson February 28, 2011 at 8:57pm
Check out my last picture. A Charlotte Mini lives in Denver, CO.

Jason,
I think the duel coarses is good if you have lots of players and need to split up the divisions. Open, Am 1and 2 play Charlotte first round, Potterville the 2nd.round.
Am 3, women, and Masters play Potterville 1st, then Charlotte 2nd round.
If you don't have a space problem (too many competitors for 1 coarse,), the LP Open should be played in Charlotte and Potterville can work on their new mosquito crop..
Thanks to Ken and Patrick. This is tough for me because I throw mostly found discs. If I pick one up without a name I throw it for a while and see if I like it. If I do then I leave it in my bag.
@Patrick, I'll be sure to throw a comet in his starter pack.
@Ken, I know it's dumb but I always think of the starter packs as being full of discs that they can't get rid of individually.
