<~~~ NEWB WTB: Beginner gear

[DGShawn]

I wish that I could go back, buy 3-4 varying weight Buzzz's, and 3-4 putters and learn from scratch.

I try to go to the field every day, and I only ever bring my mids and putters, until I can throw the Buzzz 300' I do not think I will throw anything faster....

but I'm gonna hold out now for the ones that Bryan has offered.

I was just told about a shop near me that specializes in Disc Golf http://www.dalaiwood.com/pro_shop.htm
but they are small and have limmited hours.

This would be a great beginner set. I wouldn't bother with anythign faster than that Leopard.

honestly, I wasn't gonna go out and buy anything in particular, probably the 3 disc set like the one above


but for now,
I'll hold out for the help from a fellow disc slinger
and go from there.

Hey Russ,
I sent your package towards Bremerton today. Enjoy!

A few free discs from someone on the forum will be a great way to get started. When you want to buy some plastic you will do a lot better picking discs up from Dalaiwood or Chainbangerz since they have way, way more selection than a big box store and people/players there that can actually tell you about what you are buying.

Thanks Bryan,

they came in the mail on Saturday,
I got out with them this afternoon. Went to the NAD Bremerton park and played 4 holes with a friend (we shared the discs, took turns with the driver and mid range (one for each hole)) we played the first 4 holes, I got a 4, 3, 4, and 5 (the 4th hole, we determined we were shooting at the wrong basket, and changed direction (probably costing us both a toss)

I had a very good time and look forward to getting out more. The only issue I had was on the way out, we were throwing the discs down the road (on the way to the parkinglot) and I hooked hard left and the disc went way into the rough (a nice thick low spot full of Blackberries, Ferns, Leaves, and lots of MUD). It took the two of us nearly 5 minutes of climbing around in that hole to find the red disc in the leaves.

as long as I can find the time to get out more, I see this being something I'll really enjoy.

not really a road,

but a path
dirt path, covered in leaves
no different than the fairway
