Hi all! Hope your weekend was lovely all around! In my part of the world we had the loveliest weekend with gorgeous weather and my roommate and I had the wonderful opportunity to take a brief hike in the woods. For my money there is nothing better than a brisk walk followed by some downtime spent noshing on a homemade fruit assortment and cheeses�
I had the most wonderful surprise this weekend that I wanted to share with the readers! At dinner on Friday night my partner surprised me with a wonderful gift: A brooch made of sterling sliver made in the form of a butterfly sitting atop a disc golf basket! I was truly shocked as in my past relationships I was the �giver� and I just felt as though that was my role in the relationship: To give and give and to try to keep my expectations of what to expect from my partner low because that�s just how my relationships took shape. Imagine my surprise when I opened that box and saw that brooch staring back at me! I don�t want to brag but it is so delicious it hasn�t been off my person since I took it out of the box! As I lay admiring my new brooch post-hike, I got to thinking about what would make a nice piece of accompanying jewelry and I�d appreciate the group�s comments as to what you folks see as the viability of my idea � I�m especially grateful to the group�s feedback as I don�t want to do anything �over the top� and embarrass myself out on the course! My idea for a companion piece of jewelry is this: I like to wear spandex shorts while playing our game with a snug top so as not to let any of my clothing impede my throwing motion or finishing position. I thought something that might set off the broach nicely would be a chain link belt with accompanying �charms� that could be �souvenirs� of special moments from my history in the game? Perhaps one charm could be a basket representing my first birdie, while another charm could represent one or more of my favorite discs�? I also had the thought that I could honor the memory of my dear mum with a charm depicting a bundt cake pan. My immediate concern is that this combination hip sash/charm bracelet could jangle or rattle too much while I threw, breaking either my concentration or that of my playing partners?
I�d also appreciate any insight as to where you personally draw the line on jewelry worn in a match? I previously limited my jewelry wear to just an anklet that features a teddy bear clutching a golf disc. My question: Where do the dear readers draw the line on what�s over the top at their local course? Do you feel a brooch, a charm belt, AND an anklet is too much? I guess this could inevitably lead to a whole philosophical discussion about mixing gold and silver but I think one of the great things about our sport is that it�s made up of rebels who might just be willing to throw caution to the wind on issues such as these. As always, I�m looking forward to your much-valued feedback, gang!

There's never too much.
It's all about the BLING!

well, i think it depends on which course your playing.......i know for a fact down in san diego at morley field, its mandatory for wandering spectators to wear a minimum of one piece of studded leather......at least all the ones ive seen there, of course i dont think all the players follow that rule..... :eek:

I just wear my favorite watch, It gives me +18 to dexterity and +5 to Vitality, which helps me out often when I shank a drive :D

On a side note Bixby if I might make an addition to the discussion is it appropriate and/or pdga legal to add Jewelry TO your discs? I know that my discs fly farther and feel better when they have some diamond studs pierced through them. Thoughts? Comments? Violent Suggestions?

Candy Corn, freakin' CANDY CORN!!!

I have found that with proper spacing between charms, there is no real risk of a distracting "jangle". However, you do not want to over do it. Limit yourself to a select few of your favorite charms, but you will need the brooch and anklet to offset the lack of charms and complete the outfit.

As long as you aren't jingling around when other players are taking their shots, there should be no reason that jewelry is limited.

You should also be mindful of the possibility of light reflecting from your charms and be careful to stand where your charms will not be a visible distraction to the throwing player.

There's never too much.

Someone beat me to it. You need a giant chain with an extra large diamond disc golf dude hanging from it. Bixby for you the bling-bling disc golf dude should be in your feline finishing position, or just grabing the ankles.

Be careful of the throwing-hand charm bracelet / off-hand nipple-ring combo, as entangling the two on a drive can be quite painful.

Bixby, I don't care how much jewelry you wear as long as you stay away from nipple rings. And that is for your own good. I'd hate for you to rip a nip while doing the across the chest throwing technique.

That's also a good reason to stick to studs and resist big dangling ear-rings.

vinyl golves, wet wipes, bike helmet, spandex (top&bottom) and charm jewlery-I agree Bling BLing! Oh and don't forget mums cooking--I wonder if Bixby enjoys a nice picnic lunch while he's disc golfing?

Wow this is a good one, Bixby!

Yet we continue to eat it :confused: or in this case read it :eek:

i think this might be an example of why your purity test score was so low.....thank god for the 11% of common sense you have :D

Don't take another percentage point away from me.........it was 12% darn it :p.

Speaking from a more female point of view than you have (although that hardly seems possible). How can you ever have too much jewelry? The simple answer is: you can never have too much jewelry, so you go girl. Put it all on. Don't be afraid to mix gold and silver or even diamonds with costume jewelry. It's all good, especially if it was given to you by that special someone in your life....even if they aren't in your life any longer.

I think you should look into wearing jewelry on other parts of your anatomy, that will not make possibly distracting noises to other players.

Consider multiple ear rings, nose rings, tongue piercings, eye brow bars, nipple rings, navel rings and for your more adventerous side: piercing certain body part(s) below the navel. :eek: Even though other players may not be able to see the jewelry in these areas, they may be able to see the outlines in your spandex shorts!

It is recommended you wear bars or studs in these areas. You can never have to many studs, especially if they are diamonds.

Remember, the most important rule in disc golf is to have fun, and most gals will agree that wearing jewelry is indeed fun.
