Hi,

We're 2 UK disc golfers on a tour of the USA hitting as many courses as we can in 4 months. We started down in Miami on the 28th of August and are now up in Wisconsin @ Blueberry Hill, and leaving out of San franisco on 9th January. We just hit our 100th course at Sandy Point, Lac du Flambeau on Thursday.

We are managing to get around most courses with maps on site & by following our man compass when none available and also by meeting the locals & hooking up with them for a round or two.

The most helpful & best way was by playing with the locals we've met, which I can't thank enough for showing us around your courses. Showing us the various tees which we would'nt have found by ourselves.

What I'm posting for, is I'm kindy asking for future help with the rest of the courses we're going to be playing on our journey. As I've said, the best games we've played so far is with the locals & if we can post where we're heading & some of the courses we are going to hit in advance, hopefully we can hook up & you can share some of your knowledge ;)

Also, just for our info, if you have played a round with us or just bumped into us as we / you were leaving / arriving, <font color="red">can you post here with your name &amp; the course we played together.</font>
I will compile a list of scores as general dg info, aces, birdies, OBs etc... of how we get on through out the trip. Just for you stat whores out there :)

Take care,

Scott &amp; Paul

Nice, sounds like alot of fun. If you come through Western Iowa-Eastern Nebraska, I'd love to show you one of my favorite courses. Treasure Cove DGC in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Yeah, I think we will be passing that way. We're heading next to St. Paul's &amp; then South via I35 &amp; somehow getting to Colorado possibly via I80 / I76.

Probably a week or 2 from now.

If you travel thru Emporia Kansas, you can hit up 2 great courses in one park....right off I35

If your heading to Colorado from St.Paul, Minnesota, you definately want to hit I-80 west.

I would think Minneapolis, Desmoines, Kansas City, then head west to Colorado or south to Tulsa. That should get you another 50 courses. That would be a pretty insane roadtrip if you ask me.

If you pass through Des Moines,which you most definitely will since you are coming down I-35, you will definitely need to make a stop here. I think that Walnut Ridge is closed for the season, but I could be wrong. But Ewing, Pickard and Grand View are all worth playing. If you want to stick inside the metro then I would say play Ewing first and then Grandview second. The added bonus is that they are only about 3 or 4 miles apart. If you don't mind an extra 15 minute drive...you can head south down to Pickard, which happens to be one of the best courses in the state. Just ask Tank, he loves that course.

Then you can head on out to Omaha/Council bluffs and play a round or two with Tank. It's only about an hour and a half from Des Moines to Omaha/Council Bluffs.

we have 148 courses in tx. you could hit a bunch down the I-35 corridor!!

Definatley hit Tulsa, Ok. 14 or so courses in themetro area. Mohawk courses are great!

Colorado golfers are pretty much always looking for an excuse to show off our courses :) Depending on which way you're heading, if you come in I-76 then you should definitely hit Fort Morgan, which is home to one of our A-tiers every year. From there you have many choices, but there are several courses in the Denver metro area to check out. Unfortunately all of the mountain courses will be closed since it's now ski season...

If you don't mind posting to another board, I'd recommend going to www.milehighdiscgolf.org (http://www.milehighdiscgolf.org) and posting there. Most of the CO golfers don't check PDGA but do check Mile High. Will PM with my info in case I forget to check this post again...

Thx for the info guys. We in St Paul for the next couple of days or so, any recomendations for which courses to hit?

We prefer to do 18 holes rather than 9 just as a guide to go by, but if theres an awesome 9 we just have to play, let us know :)

Anyone about for a game or 2 in the area tomorrow?

Thx

From Southeast to Northeast, 18-hole courses except where noted: CP Adams (Hastings), Oakwood (Cottage Grove), North Valley (Inver Grove Hts), Kaposia (S. St. Paul), Acorn (Roseville), Lakewood Hills-14 (White Bear Lake), Blue Ribbon Pines (East Bethel). Hyland Ski Area (Bloomington) is closed for ski season. Lions Park (Shakopee) is a nice open course but not near any other 18s but Staring Lake in Eden Prairie is nearby but 9 holes.

Nice 1, Yeah I was looking at those, will prob try to hit the 1st 4 of that list tomorrow, or 3, depends on how quick we are :) &amp; prob in that order.

thx

How did you like Highbridge or do you want to wait for your giant summary?

If you want sweet nine holers...when you come through Des Moines, there is a nine holer called Southwoods Park. One of the best nine hole courses ever designed. I live about three blocks down the road from it. So, if you decide to play it, let me know...I will see what I can work out to meet you guys out there.

If you make it over to the West Coast - Oregon has a fantastic DG community and some pretty sick courses. Whistler's Bend / Milo McGiver / Pier / Adair / Dexter are the top five IMO. Our local message board gets a lot of traffic, ODSA.COM, and there will be plenty of folks wanting to give you a tour.

Hey thx people,
Yup yesterday we played CP Adams, Oakwood, North Valley &amp; started Kaposia but was too dark to finish it :(

Today were going to hit Lakewood hills, Acorn Pk, then back to Kaposia pk.

After that were heading down to Des moines for a couple of days, so hopefully will catch up with some locals there :)

You should have posted before you got started. I hope you made Idlewild or Mt. Airy going thru Cincinnati (OH). Assuming you went thru Cincy on your way north.

There are some others if your plans bring you this way. We do all right around here :D

Hi Scott and Paul,

I played with you two blokes at Hackett's Park in Easton, PA awhile back. Glad to hear you are still going strong. Cheers Mates!!

Matt LaCourte

Sorry we had no inet last night so could'nt post where we we're playing today.

Des moines, today we played Ewing pk, Grandview pk &amp; Waterworks.

We've heard of a good course to play is Big Creek state Pk in Polk City &amp; Walnut Ridge in Des Moines. Which we are going to hit tomorrow.

Any more to play in this area?

Hi Matt, good to hear from you again. :)

Take care

Pickard on your way south.

Sorry dude, we missed Ohio :(, we cut through Canada on our way to Michigan instead of going under the great lakes.
Since we were up in Buffalo area.

We hit a few nice courses there, near London &amp; hooked up with some locals there ;) &amp; suffered border patrol twice in a day.

Also, sorry for not reply to peoples specific post, but if I can try to keep things in the area of where we are atm, it would help me greatly.

I will try an get a map up of our *rough* route we're going to take so we can give everyone a few days / weeks notice before we hit the area.

http://www.axedup.dsl.pipex.com/route_maps/iowa.jpg

Heres a rough route of our journey through Iowa.

We're in Des Moines atm, and probably heading west to Omaha after, but if anyone can point out some decent courses to it on the way or slightly off that route, OR any that we have to divert majorly to, plz let me know :)

Also heres a rough map of where we have been so far...

http://www.axedup.dsl.pipex.com/route_maps/usa_oct.jpg

Pickard on your way south.



My favorite course in the whole wide world

Pickard on your way south.



Sorry for being a nub, but where is it? Town or area?

thx

Half hour south of Des Moines in Indianola.

I'm available everyday...

Hey S&amp;P,

This is Tom McManus, we met at the Darkside of the Disc tourney on October 27 in Kirkland, IL. Did you have a chance to play Token Creek and Hiestand? What other Wisconsin courses did you hit on the way to Sandy Point? Make sure you hit Des Moines, they have some great courses out that way. Good luck with your travels.

If stopping in KC - Water Works is a must play. Other local notables include Cliff Drive, WyCo, and Blue Valley. Can't really go wrong with Rosedale (2 courses) or Swope for that matter. Here's a link to the KC club website: KCFDC.org (http://KCFDC.org)
Cheers!

Scott and Paul,
This is Chris from Daytona Beach, got to play with you guys at the CNY Championships at Oxbow Falls in Canastota, NY.
Your trip sounds amazing, Enjoy!!
Did you get to play my home course, Tuscawilla Park in Daytona?

Hi Tom,
Yup we played Hiestand, I lost a white star orc on hole 14 :( The wind got a hold of it &amp; scooped it across 2 fairways over hole 2 &amp; left down the hill. I tried to find it but the rough claimed it :) &amp; thats the same 1 I hoofed into the river &amp; Kirkland. It just wasn't mean to be...

I'm not sure on Token creek. Where is that course, or does it go by another name?

Hi,
Yup we played Tuscawilla Park a nice course that 1.

I also lost a disc there. This time a Star roadrunner, on hole 10. It hooked right &amp; almost did a 180 on me right into the thick [censored]. I tried looking in there, but after finding a couple of homeless nests in there &amp; called it &amp; took an OB. :eek:

I'm not sure on Token creek. Where is that course, or does it go by another name?



Token is right off I-94 a little north of Hiestand just outside Madison.

Just spent 5 days around Des Moines. An awesome selection of courses there. A big thanks to Russ &amp; Dave for showing us about the place.

Were now heading to Cedar Rapids tomorrow for a couple days &amp; then after that Davenport &amp; then St Louis &amp; then Kansas City &amp; Wichita.

Basically we're trying to kill time till next weekend because we're trying to make it to the comp next weekend in Wichita.

So we're trying to find 18 courses between here &amp; there. ( 3 a day ). If anyone has any recommendations along that route I would love to hear them. :)

Sorry Schweb, Not heading over to western Iowa. We were thinking about it, but not enough courses to fill that space of time in that direction :(

Make sure to hit the new Peninsula Park off I-80 by Iowa City.

I'm not sure on Token creek. Where is that course, or does it go by another name?



Token is right off I-94 a little north of Hiestand just outside Madison.



Ahhh the Vallarta Ast course. Yeah we played that, not bad, but we played in the howling winds &amp; that being an open course with little cover, we got our arses handed to us on a plate.

Make sure to hit the new Peninsula Park off I-80 by Iowa City.



Roger that! On the list.

Next saturday, theres a c tier tournament in Beatrice, Nebraska. The Badger Bash @ Chautauqua Park is one of the best courses in Nebraska. There's not alot of long throws, just techincally and uses elevation really well...

Since you probably won't get to see Treasure Cove...

On your way to St. Louis hit the Peoria, IL area courses.
Peoria, IL Bradley
Morton, IL Northwoods
Pekin, IL McNaughton

Then
Springfield, IL Lincoln

Davenport has some pimp courses. You definitely need to play West Lake. One of the best courses in the state...along side Peninsula in Iowa city.

Did you guys get a chance to play Pickard while in DSM?

Make sure you play Emporia while driving thru Kansas! Two great courses in one park!!

I think these guys played at Thomas Park in Marion today but don't know for sure.

Scott and Paul

I was on the card with each of you at Darkside of the Disc in Kirkland, IL. Jason

I think these guys played at Thomas Park in Marion today but don't know for sure.



Yup that was us :)

The directory has it marked up as either Shaver park or Legion park. I remember seeing the sign for Thomas park, but looking back now we got it as 1 of those names.

If anyone hears 2 people with funny ol' accents thats probably us. Say hi &amp; play a round with us :) we dont bite.*

I did see that comp &amp; the 1 in Wichita &amp; we have chosen to go to the Wichita comp instead as it is more on our way. But the info for the Wichita comp is a bit slim, ie which course its at &amp; their own website is way out of date, so does anyone know if its still on?

Thanks

Thx for link sprout :)

Heres a pic of our route over the next week.

http://www.axedup.dsl.pipex.com/route_maps/iowa_missouri.jpg

Were in Cedar rapids tonight,
monday - Davenport
Tuesday - Peoria
Wednesday - St Louis
Thursday - Kansas City
Friday - Kansas Cty / Emporia
Saturday - Wichita comp

Give or take hitting 3 courses a day we should be there for 1 day each area.

If anyone can point out the 3 best of each town that would be really cool :cool:I know theres probably more than 3 decent courses in each of those places but we have to make executive decisions every now &amp; then. Sorry.

St. Louis: Sioux Passage, Jefferson Barracks, Endicott and head west.

IMHO, in KC: Water Works, Cliff Drive, Blue Valley (BV - very long, even when pins are set short)
WyCo/Wyandotte (in KC, Kansas) is nice as well and right off I-70.

I live in Lawrence (b/tw KC and Topeka) and we've got 3 courses here...2 of which are very easily accessed off of I-70.

Sprout is right...PLAY Emporia...2 sweet courses in 1 park...can't go wrong.

I think these guys played at Thomas Park in Marion today but don't know for sure.

My buddy and I were putting out on 1 when you asked us were the tee for 1 was. If we knew that was you we would have stayed to show you around played another. Did you like the course?

Yeah I like that course, that drop off on the left of hole 5 or 6 is a killer, poor me ended up down the bottom of it, but a good upshot recovered it back to a 3 :) \Got lost between 7 &amp; 8 though where all the construction work is happening, too a while to find next tee but we made it.

peoria area-

mcnaughton park in pekin
northwood park in morton
the above two are 10/15 min from each other...both have long tee's that are marked with blue markers.

lake eureka park in eureka (really fun course)
or
bradley park in peoria (i think baskets are in longs now)
or
ICC in east peoria (all wooded, very technical)

i dont think i will be able to play tomorrow, but if you go to www.peoriadiscgolf.com (http://www.peoriadiscgolf.com) and go to the guest section of the message board, you could probably find someone to play
good luck!

Sounds like a really fun trip so far, I'm insanely jealous!

This is well in advance, but when you make it to the end of your trip, I can probably show you a couple of excellent courses here in the greater San Francisco bay area. I'll shoot you a PM with my contact info and availability. You picked a great place to finish...there are several fantastic courses within 2 hours of your departure airport.

Actually were a day late on the schedule, we got caught up in Iowa city so we're now in Davenport for tuesday &amp; Peoria for Wednesday etc...

Thx for info on Peoria Dvicich, so I dunno if Wednesday is any better for you.

Dsafinado, thx for the number &amp; info will give you a call when we're down that way. But closer to the time drop us another line to remind us to meet up :)

what an awessome journey. How many courses have you played to date and how many do you anticipate playing ?

Awesome Job thus far!!!

Sorry we didn't get the chance to meet at CNY Championships...I had no idea you two were doing a 4 month US tour.

Moving forward, next time you make your trek across the US, be sure to check out Campgaw Mountain in Northern, NJ you passed it on your way into NY and Warwick, Wolfe Woods, FDR, Kisco, J-Park, and Hyzer Creek as you went through NY. All courses are well worth the detours.

Also just to correct your list - Anson B Nixon is in PA, and Rutgers Douglass College (you earned props for spelling it right!) is in NJ.

Have a safe and enjoyable rest of your tour..

Most envious,

- doot

WOW!!!

Were playing at the Wichita comp this w/e @ Herman Hill, hope to meet a few people there, &amp; g l to all :)

Too bad you guys missed the event in Beatrice. 73 degrees with an SSA of almost 56. Thats a good course...

Scott, great playing with you this weekend! Even better you came to the banquet and had a few beers with us. :)

Good luck to you two on the rest of your tour!

Hi m8,

Aye it was a good comp &amp; great p1ss up after :)
Would like to thank everyone for a great time &amp; really nice course. &amp; thanks again for squeezing us around your state finals at Oak Park.

Also big thanks to Nathan, Brian, Chris &amp; Dynamic Discs for a game or 2 at Emporia today :)

Tomorrow (Tuesday) were playing at Salina, Hays &amp; Ellis. Hope to meet some locals about the place. :)

Heres the overall pic of our route to SFO.

http://www.axedup.dsl.pipex.com/route_maps/last_leg.jpg

Anyone have a good idea for where we should divert to hit some good courses? I'm not talking 200 miles for 1 course divert but any within an hour or so of the route.

Also as a tourist thing anything we just have to see along the way?

Thx people ;)

It looks like you will be coming through Fort COllins, CO....if you do you have to play the Sundance Trail course about 45 min outside of town---Check out the site...has some pics and directions...

Hurry though its gonna snow soon! 75 yesterday 45 today 25 tomorrow

http://www.sundancetrail.com/discgolf.html

Also go to milehighdiscgolf.org There are always people that would love to show you around or play...and a couple cool courses in the mountains right outside of town that should still be open

Scott and Paul,
thanks for making Emporia a priority on your journey. you were a pleasure to meet and throw some discs with. hope the rest of your holiday is enjoyable and the travel is safe.

Hey Scott and Paul,

My buddy and I played 9 holes in DeKalb, IL with you guys after the Darkside of the Disc tournament back on October 27th. It was a real pleasure playing that casual round with you guys and I'm glad that you hit up 20 or so courses in Wisconsin! Keep in touch if you need anything else!

Colorado has the most breweries of any state. There's the Coors brewery which isn't really worth it for the free beer, but definitely worth it to see beer mass brewed. Tons of other micro-brews around Ft. Collins and Boulder, especially. Stop by a welcome center when you cross in to Co and they should have a pamphlet "Colorado Front Range Breweries." Here's a website where you can search for breweries in cities or areas:
http://www.colorado.com/places.php?section=16

if you're music freaks, the infamous Red Rocks Amphitheater also isn't far from Denver and well worth the trip.

We also have a freaking huge REI in downtown Denver if you need to pick anything up :)

As for the disc golf:
Mile High Disc Golf "Colorado Courses" forum (http://www.milehighdiscgolf.org/disctalk/viewforum.php?f=3)
Thread where we debate our courses (http://www.milehighdiscgolf.org/disctalk/viewtopic.php?t=470)

NO TX!! ;)

Not enough courses... :cool:

Arrrgghh its soo hard to choose.

We're in Colorado atm, played Expo Pk, Lakewood Dry Gulch, Johnny Roberts DGC, Birds nest &amp; Badlands.

Tomorrow we're gonna play 1 in Fort Collins, then take the 34 West through the Rocky Mountain National Park, then play down the 40 to eventually reach Vail on the 70 west.

Theres been snow on the ground for the last 2 days in Denver, but how are courses along that route? are they snowed under and / or closed for skiing season?

Hey Scott,

If you are from Maldon, Essex, have you ever been to the Balti Bhujon in Maldon? I make it a point to eat some curry there every time I'm over for work.. Good luck in your DG travels!

Yes I am from there, but not sure of the 1 your talking about. is it up or down the high st? Theres so many now :confused:

On a different note, were in New Mexico atm, and tommorow we're playing at "Two Gray Hares" &amp; "Picuris Pueblo" then heading south to play the 18 in "Santa Fe".

So if anyones about we're playing them in that order. Then the day after in Alburquerque &amp; meeting up with a friend from back in the UK for a round or two ;)

I Had a great time playing with you guys in Wichita, and was glad you were able to make it up to Emporia to enjoy some windy golf.

Hi,
long time no post, but its been grief getting online to update. Were now in California, around sacramento area.

We did Flagstaff &amp; Phoenix which had some really nice courses, then back up to Flagstaff to hit the road towards Vegas. We only got 2 of the courses in there, Sunset Park &amp; Mountain Crest which was a nice distraction of the pretty lights of the strip :) Gonna say hi to Beth who I left before I got back from the garage at sunset park, &amp; big thanks to everyone else who we played with till it was too dark to play on.

Been in Cali now for almost 2 weeks, started down in LA &amp; played the original course Oak grove &amp; punished ourselves for a few rounds @ La Mirada (awesome pro shop) with the locals :) then up to Sylmar &amp; hit a few rounds there till dark.

Then we followed the coast up towards San Fran &amp; played everything on the way till Santa Cruz and had a look at Delavega &amp; just drove on didnt like the look of it [ /JOKE].

Now were up in Sacramento area, we played oak grove (stockton) &amp; shady oaks park (Orangeville) - (awesome pro shop) today. Now we're praying we can get some courses in before it snows &amp; have to move back towards the coast.

Big THANKS to everyone we have played with recently showing us around the courses &amp; letting us in on the cool extra pro holes around your courses.

Will update the list of courses played soon.
