Bryant Park – Tonn’s Travels

Image
After finishing up about an hour early today at the Oregon Manufacturers’ Summit in Tigard, I thought I would try and get greedy and sneak in ONE MORE disc golf course before I returned to my new courses desert in Coos Bay (the nearest course to me that I have not played is about 75-80 minutes East of me). Only one problem: it was pouring rain up in Portland. But the further I drove South (more like crawled, as it took forever to get out of the city with bumper-to-bumper traffic), the lighter the rain became. And by the time I made it as far South as Albany, Oregon, I decided that getting a little wet would be worth the additional +1 in my Courses Played Collection. So I checked on UDisc for a good course that I hadn’t yet had the privilege of playing, and I decided that Bryant Park on the West side of Albany would be the winner. A bit of a monster, weighing in at over 6,800 feet over eighteen holes, it wasn’t the quick, easy +1 that might have made more sense! But I like

A Magic Number in the Single Digits – Tonn’s Travels

Image
Today I was back on the road. This time for a half-day trip North to the suburbs of Portland, Oregon, to attend the Oregon Manufacturers’ Summit in Tigard. After having a few days to rest after last weekend, I had a bunch of energy and wanted to make another strong push to play as many new courses between Coos Bay and Portland as I could! And by tonight, typing this from my hotel room, I can now say that I have reduced my magic number to 2,000 disc golf courses played into the single digits. View from the Hole 7 tee at Pitney DGC near Junction City, Oregon. My morning started by playing a quick warm-up nine at the Oregon State Hospital facilities near Junction City, Oregon…also known as Pitney DGC . I played the heck out of that wide-open recreational course too. to the tune of a -8 (19) and an estimated round rating of 1035. View from the Hole 17 tee at Willamette Park in Corvallis, Oregon. After that quick nine holes, it was on to one of the two “must play”

What’s New: The Week of September 18, 2022

The Innova Jay “I think it’s the most point-and-shoot Mid-Range that we have” – Dave Dunipace. Released this past Monday, the Innova Jay will soon be a staple in bags everywhere. This unique disc has great torque resistance, but is not overstable. That rare combination allows you to throw the disc hard and flat without it turning over or diving left at the end of the flight. It also makes the Jay one of the best mid-ranges in the Innova lineup for forehands. Where other mid-ranges might turn and burn into the ground, the Jay can handle the torque of a forehand, providing a similarly straight flight and mellow fade to backhands. The low-profile, micro-beaded design fits comfortably in your hand for a clean release every throw. One of the most versatile, shapeable discs on the market, the Innova Jay is our new go-to choice for a one-disc round. The Jay comes in Champion and Star plastics, with the Champion Jay being a bit stiffer. Get yours at the Factory Store now!
