  • I finally made it out to Borderland State Park Just south of Boston, MA. I've heard great things about it and even that it's the best course in the state. I decided to play a full round of 18 holes from the blue tees to the blue baskets. Only one shot per hole. A real round. Trying to talk you through my disc and shot selection.

      McBeth hasn't ever birdied every hole! He has had 16 birdies, a par, and an eagle... twice... but never 18 birdies (at least not in tournament play)
      Not that it matters, still the goat.

You show that you're human, extremely talented but human. Thank you for making this sport so much fun to watch.

    Most entertaining player in the world. I say you play one or two holes at random courses suggested by local fans. Everyone wants to see you mop up a certain hole at their home course. We all know you're a great player but the reason so many people watch is for those huge shots we can only dream of throwing. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

A quiet State Park, very scenic and empty & quiet during the working hours. Plus check out Granite Gorge Ski Resort next door. , Soon to be open for discgolf and all sorts of winter sport. and would like your thoughts. I believe it will become a real destination in the next few years. For you free food, beer and lodging.

    If you ever end up in Delaware There is a state park That the original designer was Ed Hendrick of the disc golf course at Cape Henlopen State Park with the Mach 2 original production type prior to the modern Mach 2 being what is the basket at the course, some are now mach 1 style due to the old inner set of chains removed on one or two baskets or never converted to the old original Mach 2 style.
    The original short tees for the course were put in, in 1978 with the then Mach 1 that the park added the second set of chains to be the old Mach 2 style of basket that was just a Mach 1 with added set of chains. The course is not really challenging but it has sand to walk on for 90% so to make the course more challenging it is best played before it gets cold and ground gets hard.
