DG Basics

Hungry for more high quality disc golf stickers? Time to eat.

DG Basics would like to introduce you to the two newest disc golf stickers to the line….Comfort Zone and Chain Bangin’

Double Trouble: Chain Bangin' and Comfort Zone

It is always a great feeling to find a disc….whether karma is boosted , friendships are formed, or you find that disc with no name that just turns out to be that disc you have been wanting to try.

I’m one of those players that loathes loosing a disc and will abandon a round and break out the lights and rakes if necessary to retrieve any of my discs. So naturally I’m the guy who promptly calls the number on a lost disc before I tee off on the next hole.

Just last week I found a green champion monster blending into some growth past a bulkheaded basket green. Strangely enough I only saw it when reaching down for my green champion disc that had landed perfectly ontop of it.

This morning presented a much more unexpected story.

Early this morning I decided to ride the bike down the beach road in Wrightsville Beach to checkout what the beach looked like after some flash flooding last night. While on the beach road admiring the misty view over the water, I happen to glance ahead and see a frisbee looking object laying in the road ahead of me. As I get closer, it becomes clear that this isn’t your typical beach disc, and the size is too small for an ultimate disc. Sure enough…it’s a champion plastic disc laying in the road with no stamp, name, or number. Hitting it in the sun revealed the reminiscence of the stamp…..Innova Champion Monster.

Know the signs, disc golf addicts are everywhere.

So no need to fear, the Wrightsville Beach Monster is now off the street. Now just to figure out what to dye on this disc…..what do you think?

The DG Basics Crew is out celebrating the 4th of July disc golf style, on and off the course.
Staying cool on the 4th is what we do best. Whether it is on the course with lots of water, sporting a DG Basics Cool Tech Performance shirts, or at the homestead grilling with a cold one tossing at the practice basket.

Tweet Tweet, churp churp….it’s all I’m hearing out my window in the morning and on the disc golf course. With spring in full swing, I’m sure chain rattling is not the only birdies you are hearing either.

Now there is another disc golf birdie sound to listen for, Twitter tweets from DGbasics.

Disc Golfers are a group of people who can easily appreciate all the outdoors has to offer.  Courses thrive on nature and the use of public parks.  Take a moment this Earth Day to reflect on how important a clean environment means to you, and to disc golf as a sport.

Nothing upsets me more on the course than going out and seeing a trail of snack wrappers and beverage containers scattered across a course.  “Educating” these players on etiquette and what some see as “common sense” is one way people try to help….but there are some players who could hear this until their ears fell off and still wouldn’t stop their littering.

Today, in honor of Earth Day, I went to my local course early and played a round with two trash bags: one for trash, one for recyling.  Everyone who helped agreed that it improved the appearance of the course, decreased the environmental impact of disc golf to the park, and was a great way to celebrate their passion for disc golf.

Somebody has to pick this up...

No need to stop thinking about the environment after Earth Day has passed.  Below is a short list of easy things you can do to help out the environment as a disc golfer:

1.  Carpool -     Save some gas and ride together when possible.  Even better, bring your not-yet-disc-golfing-friends out with you to the course and put one of your spare discs in their hands.

2.  Trash Pickup Rounds -     Take a bag out with you and some friends during a round and pickup trash.  Integrate it into the round by having the bottom player from the previous hole be the person to carry the bag next hole.

3.  Reusable Water Bottle -     Are you one of the disc golfers who drinks bottled water on the course?  Fill up a reusable/refillable bottle instead, and make your next plastic purchase a disc and not a one time use bottle.

What are some ways you or your friends, club, park, or events stay green on the course?

Find yourself in the mood for disc golf…but just can’t get out to the course?

Now there is a Do It Yourself Indoor Disc Golf Solution!

So stop throwing away those bottle caps and setup your very own Home Course.

Here is what Chad Parker of DGstickers had to say about the weekend.

It was a great weekend of disc golf, no doubt. The courses looked great and it was awesome to see so many players out. It was also really sweet to see some of the bigger names like Michael Johansen, Paul McBeth, Brian Schweberger, Nikko Locastro, Will Schusterick etc. crush it on a couple of my favorite Charlotte courses!

Saturday was a LONG day of disc golf. Even though AMs and PROs were on different courses, the AMs had their share of backups. We had nine hours of tournament play with a brief lunch between course/round changes…no rest for the weary. You just had to stay focused, on your game and respect everyone else on the course.

Sunday was “Renaissance Original” for the AMs. Between the change in course and the long Saturday, you saw the dynamics and endurance of players come into play for sure.
DGstickers threw in a shirt and some stickers for the Ring of Fire prizes on Sunday and people were stoked.

And special thanks to “Philly” Phil H. for the death-defying ride to get some lunch during our 20 minute break Saturday.

I was hoping to play a little night disc golf yesterday, but the sudden cold and rain convinced me to save my energy for other rounds the weekend.

So while having a drink and filling some sticker orders, I got inspired to dye a new Innova champion monarch.

Those of you not familiar with the art below, The Monarch is the primary protagonist of Dr. Venture in the adult cartoon The Venture Bros.

Keep your head in the game.
