Last Minute Disc Golf Gift Ideas

The event was not without controversy. At the end of round-robbin play there was a 3 way tie for first. The tie breaking scenario is spelled out in the WFDF Official Rules of Flying Disc Sports. "206.04 Tie Breaking Procedures: In round-robbin play, ties in which two teams have identical win/loss records, are broken by virtue of the head-to-head match in that round. If three or more teams are tied, the following procedure is used to advance one team:
A. If one of the teams has the best record against the other teams with whom they are tied in that round, advance that team.
B.If the tie remains, rank the net point totals of each team from those games played against the other tied teams, and advance the team with the best net point total.
If another team must also be advanced, the following procedure is used:
A. If advancement must be decided between two teams which remain from a previous three team tie, the head-to-head match in that round shall be used."
San Diego got in on net point differential and Sylmar got in having beaten Huntington Beach in their preliminary round-robbin match. Huntington Beach was understandably disappointed on missing out on the finals having beaten San Diego 6 (37) vs. Huntington Beach 6 (38) in the preliminary round-robbin round.

The Best Disc Golf App Ever?

Disc Golf Caddy for the iPhone. Yes, it is!

If your a disc golfer with an iPhone buy it. If you have a disc golf friend with an iPhone gift it to them. If your a disc golfer and are trying to decide between an iPhone and a Droid buy the iPhone and this app.

This is more than expected... choose pictures of your discs for each shot, track ALL your shots during a round using an interactive visual angle of release meter, rate each shot, etc... this thing is freakin' awesome!

no guarantees on phone purchases included in this review  :)

F.A.D.E. Tourney Disc Golf Bag Review (Bonus)

F.A.D.E. (Freaking Awesome Disc Equipment) has obviously been putting in some overtime hours in their R&D wing as evidenced in their new Tourney Bags. Our initial response was "looks nice, kinda like the popular Innova Competition bags". Well... that's not a bad thing but this F.A.D.E. bag more than stands on it's own. Overall we were very impressed with the bag. Aces: - Built-in bag support “Disc-Hugger” internal frame. In our opinion this is THE selling point of the bag. Many bags have you unfold a stiff-ish  internal “frame” or offer no real frame at all. Not much of a problem until the bag gets a little use and then you have some of these issues - a) the bag top/opening sags onto itself making retrieving a disc a chore. This is true especially in large lightweight bags. b) those bags also tend to buckle due to the stress at the four connecting points of quadshocks.. c) many of the lightweight bags also tend to stretch over time resulting in your disc flopping over or sliding around in your bag. The disc hugger system incorporates small sewn-in fiberglass rods at the top of the hard-fabric frame which actually hug or slightly squeeze the disc(s) in place to keep them from sliding, slipping or falling out and the frame itself velcros to the bag. Well thought out.

Birdies: - Value. Both design and construction seem to offer long-term use and durability. Very reasonably priced for what you get. - Two insulated beverage holders with sinch-tie top and grommet hole at bottom for drainage - Heavy duty golf-towel clip

Pars: - Holds 22 discs + two putters - Zippered main compartment cover - Zippered mesh pocket under main cover - Two moveable disc dividers

Bogies: - nada

BONUS - F.A.D.E. has developed their own set of bag straps/shocks/harnesses/etc… We were also very impressed with the design of these babys. The two features that stand out are the built-in rain shield and the removable cross-chest strap. Some “shocks” feature the chest strap but are permanently attached. These become tangled far too often and just plain get in the way. The rain shield is extremely lightweight and rolls very conveniently into a small pouch attached along the top of the rear should strap. The shield was designed to fully cover the players bag during rain but as we found out during a rare recent rain in San Diego, it can be pulled overhead by hand to use as a quick rain cover. Players not wanting to have the added bulk of the cover built in to the bag can remove it completely from its pouch via its Velcro strap.

If our instincts are right, you'll be seeing plenty more F.A.D.E. Disc Golf Bags around SoCal courses soon. You can look them up at http://fadegear.com
