Bill Burns replied to Ryan S. Flahive's discussion 'Pick your poison'
Oh yeah, when I played the course at Colo Mtn College at Leadville @10K ft, I noticed both of those phenomena - my beat up discs were not fiipping, and all my discs were going farther. At altitude, even though you lose ilft, it seems that loss in d…

Bill Burns commented on Charles King's blog post 'Muscle Memory and Me'
Charles, Where do you play, and when? I can try and give you some pointers. Despite my advanced age (50), my best drives can sniff at 400 ft - one of the benefits of playing for 30 years is that by that time, anyone playing consistently for that lo…

I live in North Dallas. Where in the city did you ilve that you were only 10-15 minutes away from a couple of courses? Were you on the east side near BB Owen and Audubon?

Bill Burns replied to neal tilson's discussion 'Why is it people don't put their names and numbers on their discs?'
As it was kind of alluded to, maybe some people have stopped marking their discs because they have not had lost discs returned in the past, and it is much more soothing on the soul to know that an unmarked disc will never make it back to you, rather…

A lacrosse ball has worked well for me - small and heavy, yet rubbery.

Bill Burns commented on Thad Murgatroyd's blog post 'There should be a penalty in Tournaments for not watching the other peoples drives'
Thad, Before we go to what you are saying, I believe that players should do what the Rules of Play call them to do. Example: you call a foot fault on a tee shot, and get no second because the other players were not watching. But to your point, I w…

Bill Burns replied to Chris Fair's discussion 'Course Specials'
At the course in Plano, TX, we would have a side bet on throwing between the slats of a park sign you pass between holes.

Bill Burns replied to Skip K.'s discussion 'Goal Post 2 Goal Post'
How long have you been playing? If not very long, then you can look forward to your distance improving some, despite getting older, because your technique will improve. I am 50, and my best throws can get within a sniff of 400ft, but I have been pl…

Bill Burns replied to Jim Coonradt's discussion '"Underground" Courses'
Purdue has a type of arboretum as well, but there it is called Horticulture Park. When I arrived in '77, the campus Frisbee club already had an 18 hole object course, where most of it was laid out in Hort Park, but it finished by the Intramural fiel…

Truth be told, I've played one round of folf in the past year and that was with John Kirkland and his son Cody when they came through town. We've got a pole hole and 3 tees in our yard, but I've been spending my free time sailing. I have been making an attempt at cataloging the minis and there are a few gaps to fill and unanswered questions for which others may have answers. Also got a huge trading stock (from micros to macros).

How are you?
Japan is going to go in full-scale winter.
How is that?
I participate in a Japan National championship late this week.
Because it is the big championship of this year, I want to do my best.

I participate in the world championship of this year.
By a delay of the application of JPDGA I with the amateur master was participated.
I think that I become the round that is severer than last year.
I thank for what I can participate in by the understanding of my family and place of employment.
I thank all people.
I look forward to doing round.

Thank you for the comment concerning the discussion.
The word in a different country is difficult.
The one like Japanized English is in Japan.
It is what the American doesn't understand even if the Japanese understands the meaning as for it.
"The player's pack" is often said, "Player's kit".
Please advise variously in the future.

had to respond here since the pdga site is taking forever to get my password issue corrected. no, I havent been out to mountain creek in GP in forever, but I recall it was in a state of disrepair. I keep hearing god news about the new course in GP at turner park though. my dad told me last night the guy came in to present it to the parks dept with a full-blown powerpoint presentation and already had the course laid out. I wish I knew who this guy spearheading it was. but it's already got the mayors approval.

Hey Bill,
Let me know if you want to go to Oak Ridge. It's usually an invite only tourney so we know who is on the property and what kind of person they are. I'm one of the few that don't have to ask who I can invite and while I'm not sure if I ever met you, your comments on this site say it'd be ok to extend the invite. I'm sure you know Danny Waldron and some of the others that are friends of mine.

How are you?
All is replaced with a new one in Japan from April.
It is the season when a cherry tree blooms.
Both school and Discgolf are so.
The pennant race begins in April.
It is participation from May by my plan.
