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:

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.
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

As of January 2022, there were a few important updates to PDGA rules. Last week, we covered the new OB relief rules. Today, we want to talk about the updated mandatory (aka “mando”) rules. The altered rules more clearly define the vertical and horizontal planes of the mando and what is considered “restricted” air space. These new changes related to the regulations found in rule 804.01 in the PDGA’s Official Rules of Disc Golf.

Today, let’s focus on the new OB relief rules for 2022. PDGA rule 806.02 has been updated to what many are now calling the “semicircle” rule. The primary change is that a player whose disc has come to rest out-of-bounds now has more flexibility where they can take their meter relief. You can read the full 806.02 Out-of-Bounds rule
The Mako is our straightest flying and straightest finishing mid-range disc. It has the flight characteristic of a putter, with the glide and speed of a mid-range disc.
A great performing disc that can take and hold the angle of release. Turnover shots stay turned over and hyzer shots stay hyzer. Excellent for staying on narrow fairways and threading through forests.

More about the stamp: A few years ago, artist Brian Allen, of Pennsylvania, started doing the tiki characters and people really responded well to them. He said the tiki characters’ creepy, yet silly features sum up his artwork as a whole.
