Taking Disc Golf to New Frontiers

I’ve written before about how Portland is a great place to be if you want to play some disc golf. They have courses scattered all over the place there, something fit for all skill levels. Even with the vast varieties of courses to choose from though, that still isn’t enough for some people.

Most disc golfers, if they’re anything like me, will have noted while walking around in everyday life how great a particular spot would be if only there were a playable hole there. Well Matt Crider, aka Tennessee, and some of his friends have taken it upon themselves to do just that. Scoping out some unique places to put a basket Matt & Co. set up a camera and filmed themselves playing some urban disc golf. Matt’s the lanky fellow throwing the first bombing drive under the bridge, check out the video below:

Also, while you’re at it, do yourself a favor and check out some of his other videos. Matt puts together a good little piece of youtube footage, and I have to give credit where it’s due–he consistently has damn good music to accompany his vids. As always, they’re best enjoyed in high quality. Be sure to check back for further updates to the Urban Disc Golf series.

I have to admit, Portland’s got it going on…

I’ve always had a good time when visiting Portland, but I think I really do have to attest that it is the best place for disc golf on the west coast.

Hole 4 at McMenamins Grand Lodge (the pub is about seventy feet to the left)

Not only do they have a great disc golfing scene there, with events happening pretty much every day of the week, but they’ve also got some fantastic places to play. A few of the notable courses are Pier Park (my all time favorite urban course), Dabney, and the immaculate Riverbend Disc Golf Course at Milo McIver State Park (currently the top ranked course on DGCourseReview.com). Most people, I think would agree with me that those three courses are the best in the immediate Portland area. More on I have to admit, Portland’s got it going on…
