Favorite disc? - My favorite disc is a Roc. It is the most comfortable and versatile disc I have. How many aces? - I do not have too many aces, especially for how long I have been playing. I had two aces at Embshoff and one at Woodland Mound in the mid-90’s and have had a dry spell since this year where I have hit #11 at Heritage and #3 at Wilson Park. I did have a fallout on the uphill #6 at Burnet a couple of years ago, which would have been a nice ace. Any special memories from disc golf? - I have met so many wonderful people and have countless joyful memories over the past 16 years through disc golf and Ultimate Frisbee, which I play with several other disc golfers. I love the 19th hole after a good night of league. The friendships I have gained through the sport outweigh any single event or experience. One funny event was spending a weekend with Pete and Karen Caldwell back in the late ‘90s at a tournament in southern Kentucky. Pete was zooming the car through a dirt field next to the campground not realizing there were random ditches. Luckily, he slammed on the brakes just before we ended up in one of them.  David’s outlook on disc golf is one that disc golfers of all levels can emulate.  Advice? - Advice I would give to new players is focus on control. Distance means nothing if you cannot control it. Long toss with a putter or practice mid-range. If you do take your game to a high level, don’t ignore beginners or other players that look up to you. Always be willing to cordially give advice to those that ask. Every big dog was once a pup! Leagues run throughout the year and are a great way to get experience. The players are a good bunch of people who are always willing to help beginners. If you’re interested, check out the information under the Wednesday Night League forum.      Liz Fri, 16 Jul 2010 01:41:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:30 http://www.cincinnatidiscgolf.com/Home/tabid/36/ctl/ArticleView/mid/647/articleId/2/2010-New-Years-Opener.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.cincinnatidiscgolf.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=36&ModuleID=647&ArticleID=2 http://www.cincinnatidiscgolf.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=2&PortalID=0&TabID=36 http://www.cincinnatidiscgolf.com/Home/tabid/36/ctl/ArticleView/mid/647/articleId/2/2010-New-Years-Opener.aspx The results are in. PDF Results Congrats to Jim Ferrara, the new Winton King.
