Multi discing

Occasionally when playing or babbling about disc golf will encounter someone who does not understand why I use multiple discs ranging from those curious to one person who could not understand why I would not let his son keep one of my discs that he took from the middle of a fairway. ( I needed to threaten to call the police before he gave it back.)

Last weekend was a great example. I played a tournament on two different days on two different layouts at the same location the second day was windier than the first. For the event, 19 holes were used in each round.

For the championship layout that was used for round one, I used 13 different discs for my first shot. 14 times I needed a fairway shot designed to advance the disc and used 10 different discs for that and used 5 discs 13 times for an approach shot. 18 total discs were used.

Since the second layout was easier and the wind was up, there were a couple discs I took out of the bag and replaced with ones designed for higher winds. Since many holes on the easier course are less than a full shot, I used 14 different discs (including my putter) to tee off on a hole. There was only one time I needed a fairway shot and used 5 discs for the nine approach shots and those shots used a disc that was also used off the tee so there were 14 total used including three that were not used for round one..

Between both days, I used 21 different discs for the event.
