I'm thinking of replacing the Army surplus gas mask bag that I use to carry my discs. 

Any tips, recommendations, critical features to include (or exclude) or product endorsements for good bags? 

I currently carry a quiver of about 6-8 discs, but as I get back into it after a ~18 year hiatus, I'm not necessarily opposed to going a little deeper. Plus I am usually carrying one of my five year old's discs, but he may get past the "driver and a putter" phase before he's going to be willing to carry his own shit, so another reason to expand my capacity. 

But I can't conceive of ever going much beyond 20ish discs at a time, and even that seems outrageous to me. 

Also, why are there two DG threads - this one, and another in Other Sports?

Because my dumb ass keeps posting in the wrong thread.
Don’t get the Innova Hero bag, the straps suck.
I have a Latitude 64 Luxury bag, it is durable AF.

A bit windy at times yesterday but the weather overall was fantastic. Couple of shots from the course at Cameron Park in Waco.

I started playing again after damn near 20 years. My 6yo wants to go play everyday at our local private park that has 3 random baskets but no defined course. We were playing around one day and met a group who had setup an actual 18 hole course. They have since marked the tee boxes and made laminated course cards for people that want to play. 

Now I go play every tuesday night with the group I met and have been re-learning everything. I just ordered a practice basket for the backyard so I can work on putting. I suck at putting. I forgot how addicting this game can be.

Haven’t played in years, but when I did I used one disc and one disc only: the shark. It’s all you ever need.

May have to start back up and go get a new shark

Agreed. The shark is awesome. I got an ace a few weeks ago with a shark.

Out with my 10yo flinging some plastic. He mainly throws his shark and skeeter.

I love my skeeter. Understable mid-range. Just won a DG tournament with it as my primary disc.4b14370693af0322c820c8b6fb9bf42f.jpg

Bump because disc golf is awesome.

I started playing a little over a month ago.  I'm a forehand thrower as I threw frisbee that way for decades.  With a frisbee I was a thumb thrower which doesn't translate to disc golf but the throwing motion is similar enough.  I conitnue to progress and learn.  The biggest thing is getting consistency off the tee.  My approach shots are already solid which I almost always throw with a cheetah.

Snow Dog started this thread.  Is he still around?

Yes he is. I'm still in touch with him somewhat regularly about all things disc golf, kayaking, and chili cookoff.

Post-round beer at Live Oak today...

I played the course in Alpine this morning. They've improved the hell out of it since last time I played it (3yrs ago). It's a full 18 now and a lot of fun. Props to the folks who have been taking care of it, they're doing great work.

I played the Austin Beerworks course this morning (now enjoying beers in the tap room). Such a fun course but definitely challenging. I didn't take many photos, but here's one from the tee pad on 4.

With the cool weather the last 2 mornings some friends and I played 36 holes this weekend.... Live Oak (Saturday) and Circle C (Sunday). Great fucking time... felt like weekend staycation mode 😀 !

Happy to report that both courses are in great shape. I hadn't thrown Circle C in ~10 years.
