So while Rob is busy bragging about his ace and I just had a 115 foot shot blow through every chain on hole 7 today, I'm going to shoot out some quality links for the people, because the people are what disc golf is about, not you Rob, not you.

Disc golf center sets itself apart from other online retailers as it goes through and rates every disc, from every manufacturer, on the same scale (basically the Innova rating system). This is very helpful for figuring out what different companies have for sale. I always try to buy from the mom and pop local stores, but it's awesome to know how stuff is going to work out. So far I've found the ratings to be very accurate (I've thrown over fifteen drivers they have rated from four different companies).

Want your own course on the cheap? Here's a bunch of different designs that'll get you started. I built one last year out of a candy display stand that a grocery store was throwing out and some cardboard and metal strapping. The options are endless when you think about it.

Not up on the disc golf lingo? This list will get you up to speed. It's the best glossary of terms I could find in under 2 1/2 minutes. It also has a number of useful links, pictures, and diagrams. I love a good diagram.

The Hold Steady, Bloomington IN
I knew it was going to be a good show. Craig Finn and The Hold Steady have a reputation for a non-stop, high energy rock show. Being a fan of the studio discs made me even more certain it was going to be a good time. I wasn’t disappointed.
Jake’s was a packed club with its inhabitants under the spell of rock music. The band had total control of the crowd and looked like they were having a genuinely good time. Each member of the band was smiling and making an effort to make eye contact with fans in the crowd.
Overall, I was thrilled to have seen The Hold Steady at Jake’s. The atmosphere and enthusiasm in the crowd was everything I could have hoped for. Next time around, I think the band will be playing a bigger venue. See them in a small club if you can.
Oh, I got my first disc golf ace at Karst Farm’s Park in Bloomington.
