Stuck Ape

Here is a picture of my friend's Blizzard Ape stuck in the ground at the base of a tree at our home course (Reservoir Park in Southern Pines/ Pinehurst, NC). It was probably an inch or two deep and we had no idea how it happened.

Save the date - Eastern AM Nationals is coming to the Hippo in October!

Registration opens Sept 1. See you at the Hippo!

It's a 3-pointer!

No we're not talking basketball. Check out this stuck disc sent in by Don at Pendleton Park in Augusta, GA! Nice.

Look Mom, I'm on TV!

Check out this program on the Peach Basket Invitational in Macon, GA that includes an exciting explanation of disc flight ratings by Killer B at the 8:40 mark.

So far, the show has been aired on both Fox and ABC local affiliates during normal hours (not at 3AM after the Lose Hair Now infomercial!). That's great progress!

Nice job, Macon Aces and thanks for asking me to help out!

It also has highlights from 3 rounds of disc golf with a focus on the lead card of the final round that included Augusta local Josh Childs.



 

Chuck some rubber!

Who's your pick to win this 4-day grind? Can Nate Doss and Sarah Hokom repeat?

Augusta local Josh Childs has started out well and is -2 after 16. Keep it up!

Vibram spotlight: Summit and VP

Next up for Vibram Open week, we have two driving putters, the overstable VP and the beginner-friendly understable Summit.

These putters are great for long approach shots and shorter tee shots where you really want to rip into it. The VP also works great into a headwind.

While the VP is designed more for lob putters and advanced players, the Summit is an excellent all-around disc for beginners.

I've been using the Summit for years and love it for long anhyzer approaches and have just started to hyzer-flip it on straighter holes.

Give these two putters a shot this week and save $2 each during the Vibram Open!

Now, here's Steve!
