      Disc Auction For a Good Cause

      Disc Golf United - June 03, 2022

      USDGC Partner Dennis Lynn is auctioning some of his most collectible discs to help raise money for his son-in-law, Mike Bennett, who has inoperable cancer.

      More about Bennett: Earlier this spring, doctors discovered that Bennett, who is 35 years old, had cancer in his lower back. The cancer diagnosis, which blindsided the family according to Lynn, has left Bennett and his family with increasing expenses. Mike Bennett and his wife Ashley (Lynn’s daughter) live in Chattanooga, TN, and have three young children. Here's a picture of Mike and his family before the cancer diagnosis.

      Disc Golf Stamps: How They’re Made

      A Closer Look at Disc Golf Hot Stamps:

      Grab the closest disc golf disc to you. Chances are good it came with some sort of lettering or design that was applied with a hot stamp machine for disc golf. 

      For decades disc golf manufacturers have used the quick and effective hot stamp process to identify and decorate discs. The process has become so fine-tuned over the years that the simple designs of the early days have given way to today's highly detailed disc golf stamps. Cool disc golf stamps are everywhere. So let's take a closer look:

      Below: Here's an example of an early Innova hot stamp.

      New PDGA Rules for 2022: Completing the Hole

      Disc Golf United - April 27, 2022

      Changes to How the Disc Can Land in the Basket

      One of the more controversial PDGA rule changes for 2022 is not necessarily a new rule. It is technically a reversal to an older version of the same disc golf rule. It affects Rule 807, which is focused on “Completing the Hole.” Specifically, it has to do with how the disc can end up in (or on) the basket in order to consider the hole complete for any given player.

      Here is the amended PDGA Rule 807.B:

      In order to complete a hole with a basket target, the thrower must release the disc and it must come to rest supported by the tray or the chains below the chain support.

      The Old Rule

      In years past, this Rule 807 more specifically sta
