Tuesday Disc Golf at Alexandria and Tinicum. Cubby in the studio for Disc Golf Monthly.


Headed up to Alexandria Park Disc Golf Course for some rounds of Disc Golf with Matt L. This park is Matt's home course and he is the course designer. It was a 9 hole course, now up to 12 holes. 6 more holes will be installed in the future. We played 36 holes with Matt finishing at 16 under and Cubby at 8 under. It was a good time and Matt tore me up as usual.


After we played we got some pizza then I headed to Tinicum for some more rounds.

After Tinicum I headed to Levittown, PA to meet up with Matt and Kevin for studio work for an upcoming Disc Golf Monthly Episode.

After we finished up I bought a Champion Groove and a Star Boss from Matt.

Wednesday Disc Golf Road trip to seven courses and a First Ace for Disc Golf Monthly Producer Kevin McGorry!


The day started early with me getting up at 3:30 AM. I met Kevin McGorry (Disc Golf Monthly Producer) at his house in Pennsylvania and we headed over to Branchwood Park Disc Golf Course stopping for some breakfast on the way. We got lots of rounds in on the 9 hole course. I predicated that Kevin would Ace today and that we would not leave this course until he did, and that he would Ace with a Stingray. On the last hole we were going to play before moving on to the next course Kevin made all of my predications come true by getting his first Disc Golf Hole In One! Kevin has been playing Disc Golf for 14 years so it was a real treat to be there when he got his first Ace. No Ace for Cubby but I missed two shots off the rim and one off the top. And shadowed the chains on others.

The second course we played was Plain Park, another 9 hole course.


The third course we played was Jordan Creek. Great to see the cement tee pads. A great course to play! I was happy with a 59.

We stopped for lunch on the way to the next course.


The fourth course we played was Little Lehigh Parkway . I was happy with a 64. Another great course to play!


Here we are with Brian and Jeff. It was great chatting with them about Disc Golf. They both enjoy following my YOUTUBE videos. I am looking forward to throwing some rounds with them in the future.

The fifth course we played was Covered Bridge. A nice mix of holes and some fun throws. We played the round with Tim (The Chicken). Tim had some great putts!


The sixth course we played was Levans park. A 9 hole course.


The seventh course we played was Upper Macungie Park . We played this course in the dark without lights. An adeventure in the dark.

We stopped for something to eat on the way home.

Congrats to Kevin on his First Ace! Kevin proved to be Cubby road trip material always ready to play another course and play through a long day without much rest. He survived his introduction to Cubby fatigue Disc Golf.

It was also great to meet Brian, Jeff, and Tim. I hope you guys enjoy those discs and thanks for your kind words about my YOUTUBE videos and my blog.

Tuesday Disc Golf at Rutgers


Headed up to the Rutgers Disc Golf Course to meet up with Curtis from New York City. He emailed me yesterday about coming out to Rutgers for the first time so I picked him up at the train station in New Brunswick and then we got to the course and played 5 rounds. I chained out of Hole 9. I threw a -5, -8, -11, -11, -??


Here is the crowd that showed up for Tuesday Doubles. I was paired up with Jose and we threw against Chris and Paul S. (Massachusetts). We tied at 8 under. The winning team won with 12 under.

Sunday Morning Disc Golf at Green Acres

Tim, Cubby, Tom, Rob, Miguel, Eric (below), and Matt.

Head up to Tim's private Green Acres Disc Golf Course for some rounds before going to work. I got the number 1 tag after the first round. Rob, Eric and Matt left after the first round and I kept the number one tag after the second round. Just missed and Ace on hole 1. I made some nice putts. Tim had to play left handed as he has a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. He made a nice long lefty putt during the second round.

Cubby creates a new Disc Golf Target on 3/21/2009

April 7th 2009 update to this post: I think I may still submit my creation for a patent. I'll just have to take my time and make sure my target is a better mousetrap :)

March 31st 2009 update to this post: I will be installing the target I created at Rob's private Bunker Hill Disc Golf Course.

I have created a new Disc Golf Target that improves retention of the disc in the basket. I am keeping it under wraps until I explore patent application and maybe even producing it myself or licensing production to a Disc Golf related company. I created the target by brainstorming when I go to sleep at night, in the time when your eyes are closed but you are still awake. I always think about Disc Golf before I go to sleep, I know get a life :)



The target performs just as I imagined it would. I have a portable and hanging version with the hanging version under going testing now. I just wanted to mark the day and blog about it. Sorry to keep everyone in the dark.
