Wednesday Disc Golf at Green Acres and Manalapan

Tim, Cubby, and Miguel.

Headed to Tim E's private Green Acres Disc Golf Course for some rounds of Disc Golf. We got in two rounds. I defended my Number 1 Tag both rounds but Miguel (Number 2 Tag) had a 4 shot lead that I had to overcome in the second round. I had some nice ace runs but still no Green Acres Ace for me. Miguel played well both rounds. Tim is recovering from rotator cuff surgery and he played a round and a half throwing lefty.


Headed to the Manalapan Recreation Center Disc Golf Course for some more rounds before heading back home. I got my 367th Ace. It was a Spip Ace with the Innova Champion Boss I got from Matt the other day.

Tuesday Disc Golf at Field of Dreams and Bunker Hill plus Cubby in the studio for work on DGM 61.


Headed up to the Field of Dreams Disc Golf Course in Great meadows , NJ. It was a 2 hour drive to the course but well worth it. It was a hot day getting to 90 degrees.  The last time I played this course it was a 9 hole course, it is now an 18 hole course.  The layout is great and there is a nice mix of wooded and open holes, short and long. This course has something for everyone. My hats off to all those involved for all the hardwork that went into this course. Check out the video below of my round at this course today.

After playing at the Field of Dreams Course, I headed to Rob's private Bunker Hill Disc Golf Course for a round and some holes.

After playing at Bunker Hill I headed to Pennsylvania for studio work on Disc Golf Monthly Episode 61.

After the studio work I got a couple of R-Pro Aviars from Matt as well as a Champion Boss.

Tuesday Disc Golf Road Trip to River's Edge, Yetter Park, Hickory Run, FE Walter Dam, Hackett's Park, South Mountain Park, and DeSales University


With no sleep,  I left the house on Tuesday morning and headed to Pennsylvania for a day of Disc Golf. I arrived at Kevin McGory's house at 4AM.

We stopped at McDonalds for breakfast and I chatted with Ronald about his trouble using the cross step on his drives. I told him to lose the big shoes and then he should have no trouble. He was all smiles.

Here we are at River's Edge Park. This is a fun 9 hole course. Nice design with elevation changes and good pin placements.

Here we are at Yetter park. I really enjoy this course. Love the layout, the length and the use of the land not to mention the crushed stones that start the fairways and surround the baskets.

Here we are at Hickory Run Park. A nice combo of fairly open holes and wooded holes using the limited elevation changes effectively and a good use of mandos.

Here we are at FE Walter Dam. This course can be tough to play on when it is wet, like it was today. Some waterproof boots or goretex socks are very helpful. This course is played over a rugged terrain with many shots required to be thrown over numerous pine trees all over the course.

Here we are at Hackett's Park. I love this course for the most part until it takes a departure from the scenic into a real rough jungle like stretch of holes from Hole 14 to 17.

Cubby and Don.
Here we are at South Mountain Park. Don joined us during the round. It was nice to meet Don and his wife. This course makes it's way around a wooded and rocky hill top. A nice layout and good use of elevation changes. The weather was getting nice and during this time of day lots of people were on the course having a great time.

Here we are at DeSales University. This course makes it's way across the campus with some nice lengths on the holes. This picture was taken after we finished the round. We were going to head home but decided to play at night in the rain with discs from Black Jax Sports. We did not finish the round as it was cold, rainy, and windy and part of the course was a bit hazardous to walk through without a flashlight.

What a long day day of Disc Golf. Seven courses and over 300 miles driven. I dropped Kevin off at his house at 11:30 PM. I was exhausted so I parked it in his driveway and slept in the car for 4 hours before heading back home.

Sunday Morning Night Disc Golf at Rutgers


Headed up to Rutgers Disc Golf Course after a busy night at work on the boardwalk on Saturday. I arrived at the course at 2:30 AM on Sunday. I took a video of a round using my Black Jax Sports Night Disc Golf Discs and matched my Rutgers Course Record of 17 under par. I also got my 366th Ace using an Axe from Black Jax Sports.
