I can hear them saying it a few hundred years ago in Scotland:

"If the PGA ever allows clubs in golf I quit." - As he picks up the ball and throws it on the green.

1979 World Frisbee Golf Championship

Wowsers!!! ~ the shorts those guys are wearing are really funny ~ (personal note - I never, ever wore shorts that short) Some large diameter discs they're tossing.

Any truth to this comment from that video page:

"you guys don't realize that wham-o ran this game back in the day.. they were about to invent triangled edge shaped "disc"... not a frisbee... someone (won't name names) found out about it at wham-0... quite and patented the idea... magically innova was created... (hmm that was wierd) wham-o used to have like $100,000 purses for the game... they got pissed and left the sport after they did that and ever sense innova has continued to only grease its own pockets"

I don't really care about the Wham-O discs, or the Innova connection. However, I am totally stoked about those shorts they're wearing. I just found my old high school track shorts from 1981. I don't know whether to wear these to Juel Doubles or save them for the Jet Wash.

Since I am about 40 pounds heavier than when I wore them last, I am going to be one badass mother f...er! Anyone want to caddy for me?

I guess we'll see if BA really has the balls for such a stunt.

If the stunt goes down you will most likely see his balls, er, um, bravery.

Hopefully we can find someone in good shape to caddy for him, I have a feeling he'll be needing an athletic supporter.

The shorts are about the same length but the bitchin Vaurnet clothing makes me want to go back to 88 and punch my 8 year old self in the face for thinking that the style was cool.

Lol, accuracy first, disc golf second. Take a look.

That kid pretty much sums up everything I like about the XL, "it's a great disc, I'm glad I got it."

Just Brilliant.
