True to my word (from yesterday), today wasn't about disc golf. It was about spending time with my wife and youngest daughter. That said..... :-) One of the things my…
Before I got to jump into four hours of meetings and interviews this afternoon, I wanted to make sure I got to play two additional courses (with baskets) in the…
Today was a good, albeit long day behind the wheel. Four and a half hours of driving, from Hillsboro to Coos Bay, Oregon. Then after calling it an evening in…
Today was the perfect day to play my closest remaining unplayed eighteen-hole course to the townhouse and cat we are housesitting for in Hillsboro. So after crossing a few "To…
Today was just one of those days on the course collecting trail. I didn't feel well, plus I was grumpy playing in the mud/slop. It certainly wasn't the courses' fault!…
Today was a LOT of fun! It was a cheap, easy way to add three new courses to my courses played collection! :-) But it was finally my chance to…
Today was a busy day at work. I didn't have hardly any time for disc golf, much less time to get my 4-5+ miles of walking in (which helps me…
After getting caught up on a little work today, and before celebrating our youngest daughter's 16th birthday (where has that time flown?), I decided that today would be the day…
After getting a good night's sleep last night, I was excited, as I actually had a new disc golf course that I could play that was within WALKING distance of…
Aah...I'm home. Well okay, I've technically had my mail delivered to a Minnesota address my entire fifty years of living on this planet! But I often tell people that since…
If yesterday felt like cheating while course collecting, playing three quick, short nine-hole courses, today felt like outright theft. My rule on the course collecting trail has always been that…
At the risk of having my own George W. Bush "Mission Accomplished" moment in the world of disc golf course collecting, today was a day I have been waiting for…
After several weeks of ice, snow and cold, yesterday was FINALLY the day that my wife, youngest daughter and I were able to begin our 1,400+ mile trek West. Embarking…

In addition to mapping a 36-acre property this Winter, one of my primary reasons for being up in Northern Wisconsin today is to help "tweak" an eighteen-hole disc golf course…
Work for BOTH mapformation and DGA brought me up to Northern Wisconsin for the next couple of days. And with the unseasonably warm and dry conditions this late in November…
Surprised. Confused. Excited! A little annoyed? :-) That is how I am feeling tonight, after being completely blindsided and haunted by the thought: "Did I just play the best course…
Today was an absolutely beautiful late Fall day here in Southern Minnesota! The mid-40s for temps, a bright sunny sky, and no snow or ice on the ground. So when…
After a very quick 1,550 mile, six-day trip over to Michigan for some meetings with the Disc Golf Foundation board, I made it back to my office in Minnesota for…
Today's course collecting materialized a little slower than I think Cristina, Mike and I had hoped! Plus if I own up to things? I really did NOT play well today.…
After saying my goodbyes to Paul, Cristina and Mike this morning in Michigan, I began the process of pushing for Chicago. I had a tough decision to make: play a…
Today was such a cool day for me. I got to share the fairways with my friends Cristina Palaganas Carlstrom, Paul Carlstrom, and Mike Harrington as Mike was able to…
Greetings from Grand Blanc, Michigan! After another long day of driving, I finally made it to the home of Paul Carlstrom and Cristina Palaganas Carlstrom, to meet with Cristina and…
After my visit to Lakeview Park in October, it had been nearly two weeks since I last had the opportunity to play any new disc golf courses. But today, I…
Under the periodic guidance of long-time disc golf course designers such as Chuck Kennedy and Steve West, I was able to learn that designing effective holes, effective courses, requires what…
As our time in Fearrington Village is nearing a close (as a part of our third housesit in North Carolina), and after using UDisc to try and evaluate my options…
After enjoying the conversation (and the butt-kicking, ha) on the fairways at Leigh Farm Park in Durham, North Carolina yesterday, I was thinking that I would need to play eighteen…
Today was such a fun day! Fifty-four challenging holes of disc golf on two new courses near the Virginia border, while getting the chance to talk Eric Vandenberg's ear off…
One of the things that can occasionally be hard for me on the course collecting trail is playing courses that aren't generally available to the public, that their owners do…
Today was a travel day from Fearrington Village back over to Asheville, North Carolina. A solid half-day in the car, including a stop at Cook Out for lunch, along with…
I had another very successful day today on the course collecting trail, knocking out one more K-12 course (on a Sunday), as well as playing at a university while things…
I dodged raindrops most of the morning today while I walked Griffy and worked. But as soon as I got my first glimpse of sunshine? I was in the van…
Being a Saturday, I thought it wise to look for any more K-12 schools with courses in the Asheville, North Carolina area that I haven't played. As other than tomorrow…
My Courses Played Map in the North Carolina Area, as of October 10, 2021. Early this evening, my wife, youngest daughter and I FINALLY made it back to Southwestern Minnesota.…
It had been six long, HARD, PAINFUL days (insert violin music here) since I had been able to play any new disc golf courses here in Minnesota. Over one hundred…
We made our way from Kentucky back to Chicago today, to say "hi" to our oldest daughter at college for about sixteen hours, before making our final push for home…
Even though it was wet and raining out this morning here in Asheville, I couldn't resist the "siren song" of sneaking just a couple more courses played in the area…

After a day off from disc golf to help get caught up on work and other To Dos, I was able to meet up with Eric Vandenberg again this morning…
