    What about you guys, have you played much?

    Sorry Im.steppo just saw your post. we have played using frisbees occasionally for about a year, different game when played with golf disc, some of which we got in April. I need a lot more practise!

    Tournament aim is to be a fun event, while being competitive at the same time. We will be applying the PDGA rules, more as a learning curve for everyone rather than being totally strict with them. We'll get stricter as time goes on.

    That's good, playing for fun is the best way, especially if your like me and the disc either lands 10 feet in front of you or in a bush

    Maybe an idea would be to contact the lads at http://www.footgolf-dublin.ie ? It's a football golf place, so you'd be kicking the football to the hole. I'm sure they wouldn't mind extreme frisbee people on one of the quieter days?

    The very same Loki! Thanks for the reply. I have been championing disc golf in Ireland for about two years.....(many meetings with many people) but as of yet.....no joy. (I have found a few people who are willing to pay for a course, but it is the land availability (or lack thereof) that is more the problem. I actually sold the idea to the superintendant of the Dublin Parks Department (who is happy to pay for it), but he hasn't committed to any one park yet. (I and he would like to see a course in Phoenix Park but it doesn't fall under his jurisdiction.....and the super from P Park is not interested!) Pity, but I haven't given up hope. I just posted this to see if anyone else was trying the same, so that we could possibly join forces. Obviously, if my dream does come to fruition, the ultimate players (via these forums) will be the first to know....as you lot will be the player base and backbone of it's impending success. If you haven't played disc golf on a nice course (or any course), you really don't know what you are missing, and Ireland just seems so perfect.........fingers crossed.


    Loki did you ever get anywhere with this? It would be great to get something going in Dublin.
