I don't know if anyone else does this but I have a couple weird things I do and in my own mind I believe that a day of disc golf goes better if I do such things. Allow me to explain.

After about 2 or 3 rounds I'll bring in my discs and set them on the counter and wash em with soap and water like I'd do the dishes. Also I organize them by color and disc (i.e. I have all my Element/Element X first/ then Diablo/Inferno/Illusion & Putters in the front)

Also I make sure the hotstamp is upright and straight?

Anyone else OCD like me or do strange things?

I also clean my discs, and resharpie them the day before a tournament. I also have my discs in a specific order ranging from stabiltity and weight and plastic.

I re-sharpie my discs when the sharpie starts to become just a shadow.
I organize all my discs in stability and order of stability for each type of disc (putters then mids, then drivers, then highspeed, then meat hook disc).

I also like to clean my discs, but I usually just use water. I do like to keep my bag organized while i play and I also wrote the weights of each disc on the outside of the rim and I line all those up so I can see them all.

I wash my disc's too, but it is based on how much I have been playing and if it was muddy or not. I sort my midranges, putters and drivers. And within that, I will start with the most overstable mid's on the left and work to understable in the middle. And for the drivers, I start on the right with the most overstable and work my way to the middle and understable. I do this, because then my most used disc's are pretty much right in the middle.

My bag is color-coded by stability. Neon Green starts the rainbow. Star Max, 11x Champ Firebird. Yellow is less stable like a Star Tee-Rex. Orange Star Wraith. Red for Champ Roadrunner. I only throw white mid-range and putters. I will only buy a disc if it fits the color system. How OCD is <font color="#666666">TThat </font> ?

I always grip my discs either at 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock in relation to the hotstamp. I always mark my discs (Sanford King-size marker) at 6:00 (in relation to the hotstamp) on the underside but backwards so when it bleeds through you see it like normal on the flight plate.

i'm exactly the same way w/ the grip and sharpie marks

dont really wash the discs but do use a mr clean magic eraser from time to time to clean them (but dont use it on the hotstamp unless you want to take that off too)

Each of my heavily used disc has a small spot where the hot stamp has faded from my thumb being on the same spot every throw. The dye on my tie-died buzz is even starting to wear a little bit.

I also have to grip my discs to the right of the hotstamp, and write my name and info. on the back of the disc, but above the hotstamp.

Yeah I know it's weird, but I've come to terms with it...

The color systems are GREAT :D I am OCD about my clothes in my closet and some other stuff but not about discs....I don't know just not one of MY THINGS....none the less the routine, as far as disc golf is pretty good or should be :D have a GREAT NEW YEAR everyone and now I'll be looking at other people's bag to see the OCD kids :o:D:cool:Change the colors while your putting and see what happens ;)....I guess it's easy to know when your missing a disc :D

I keep mine in order of stability with respect to speed...and my Elements are larger in diameter, so they are on the end.
But color...come on...JK :D

I eat my M&amp;Ms three at a time, matching colors. The rules get complicated towards the end of the bag. Sometimes I have to save the last few until the next bag.

I have all of my discs in order just so I can tell if I am missing one quickly. I might have to think about this whole color idea though, I like it :)

I know a few people that only throw one color of discs, I would think that would make things confusing. One guy only throws white and another guy only throws orange.

That's one nice thing about having a color system in your bag: you very rarely grab the wrong disc. Plus you immediately know if a disc is missing from your bag. So there is a bit of method to the madness!

I color coordinate so I don't lose any during the practice phase when I'm throwing more than one off the tee. Within the color I have no particular order. I noticed something kinda funny the other day. When I first started playing I loved white plastic, thought it looked the best and was the easiest to find - I almost had an all white bag at one point. As of a few weeks ago when I lost my sidewinder, I don't have a single white driver in the bag, strange...

I go from left to right in order of Stability.......Preds on the far left all the way to Rogues in the middle of the bag...........Then Wasp after the Rogues all they way to my Comets and one putter on the far right!!! Color really doesnt matter but I do tend to have the same color molds in my bag.........IE Orange Preds......Grean Surges.......Pink Rogues but it just seems to happen that way I dont plan it out or anything!!!

I arrange my bag from most overstable to least overstable -- drivers first followed by mid-ranges. None of the color nonesense ;) ...yet. My putters have to be facing up in the putter pocket and that inludes the mini.

When I throw, the top of the hotstamp faces the basket. While putting, the top of the mini's hotstamp also faces the basket. If I'm playing doubles, I will even rotate the mini before putting if my partner just "plopped is down", disregarding the orientation juju of made putts! The discs HAVE to see where they are going!

i go by color and then stability in that color from overstable to understable for my drivers then i only have 4 midranges so they are orgainzed in stability then my few putters are just in the bag
