I love the fact that I just won a bet from a friend saying that no one from sweden is in top 10 in the world, so except that the site came in handy for me I loved the interview with Val! Keep up the good work!
Just getting into Disc Golf at the age of 49 and enjoying learning about it. Read the articles on Dave Feldberg and Val Jenkins, found both good material. Thanks.
I just stumbled on to your website a while back. Its very cool. One of my goals is to get my name on here.
My first reason to come here was to read your interview with Feldburg. This was an awesome interview. I could tell the interview was conducted by a disc golfer. I the read the interview with Val Jenkins and was equally impressed. Immediately I added your site to my Google Reader and I look forward to more excellent interviews and professional coverage of the sport I love. This is exactly the kind of coverage disc golf needs!!
Jerrod
This site has it all, excellent interviews, up to date stats, and information about topics that can’t be found anywhere else (like the Wii disc golf game) Keep up the great work!!! BTW I clicked on your advertisement for Poorboy Discs and they have awesome deals!!
1000rated is so well laid out and easy to find recent info- as someone with a journalism background it makes me happier than flex shots with a new Monarch to see the depth of interviews (done the right way and not just treacly fawning) and sensible layout.
You’re staying true to the name and keeping your focus tight on rounds & ratings - not just the people who shoot them but adding the designer’s perspective is great too, would like to see that continue with other designers.
new to the game @ 49. Found the articles w/ Dave Feldberg and Val Jenkins interesting reading as I try to learn about disc golf
Love the in-depth interviews (particularly Feldberg and Val). I think the content you are adding and will add in the future is a big deal to get me (and others) to come back. A very dynamic and professional website.
I first came to the site because of the Dave Feldberg interview. For some reason reading that article got me excited and I had to run out and play 27 holes that night. I think I even improved my throwing a bit thanks to some of Dave’s answers. Now you’re on my RSS feed and I’ll be checking out every new article.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
You guys posted a message on the Louisville Disc Golf board and I thought I would check out your website. I read the entire article on Dave Feldberg and his success story working through the ranks of the amatuer competetion into what has become now the 2008 World Champion. I must say this is a real inspiration story for all upcoming Ams, and boy is there a lot of them. Keep it in the fairway.
First found 1000rated through a posting on discgolfreview.com. The interviews with Dave Feldberg, Val Jenkins, and most especially Steve Dodge, showed a passion for disc golf that I’ve almost never seen. And to be honest, they were better than anything I’ve ever read in any previously issued disc golf magazine. I can’t wait to see what other content 1000rated provides. Roc or Buzzz it straight up the gut.
Love the website found it through a link on milehighdiscgolf.org after an AM shot a really hot round one week and since then have been checking in every day.
Read the Borg interview last night in it’s entirity and loved it.
Great site…Keep it up!
Peace
I first visited this website when it was nothing but names of 1000 rated players and the almost made it 900+ players. Now, I get on this site daily to see news, videos, interviews, you name it. Site has everything, not to mention great links to a ton of other cool & useful sites! Oh, and how I would love that Xcaliber with the Vibram Open stamp! Best thing I like about this site? Giveaways like this one of course! Hope I win
I found my way to this site from a google search, can’t remember the query exactly but after browsing around and seeing the Feldberg interview I immediately bookmarked it. Killer site, good luck on growing it. I need more discs to fill up my bag, so pick me.
This is the one and only site where I actually feel proud to be a disc golfer. This site feels like ESPN or CNNSI! The interviews are actually real interviews with questions that matter. If a lamen asks me for more info on the sport I will send them here. Great work!
Just looking to see what you guys have written about new European Champion mr. Ville Piippo. Keep on good work.
I heard about this site from the grapevine. Word spreads pretty fast on the course. I really like the whole ratings system. There maybe a couple flaws but i think its amazing to keep track of how people are shooting across the country. That said, this is a great site that provides awsome indepth interviews and stat updates. My weekly fav is the “hot rounds” section.
Favorite interview was the Feldberg interview. No joke, that was one of the most insightful interviews I have ever read about disc golf. The emphisis on the push putt and the true way to throw an effective hyzer. Dang. I’ve been around the sport a little over 6 years and haven’t hear those two perspectives. The site rocs.
Above all, I like this site because it gives recognition to the guys with the hottest rounds for each week (1000+ rounds). I hope to get that good and be recognized one day!
I came to this site for the Dave Feldberg interview and instantly bookmarked it after the first question. The interviews are great and the recognition of 1000+ players is a great idea. I look forward to checking back soon.Keep up the good work.
I like that fact that you are quick to update and change things on your site to make sure they are as factual as possible. Keep up the great work with the site and keep writing the enjoyable articles.
Gotta say I love the coverage of individual events the best. Keep up the good work, I’ll keep telling people how great the site is.
I love that the website shows the top 1000 players, it just gives me something to aspire to, haha. Plus I love the disc golf coverage on the home page!
I would have to say the interview with John Houck about course design is my favorite read so far. The site as a whole has tons of info and good articles. I think its a great site and look forward to seeing where it can go. Thanks
Ryan
I love the articles you guys do. The interviews are so good. And more extensive than any i’ve seen. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
I came to this site to get an idea of what the top players see as the future of the sport - to hear about the way they see disc golf courses today and the visions they have for the future. I’m really intruigued by course design..
I wanted to read the Feldberg article. I have told several of our local club members about the site. I like to improve by reading indept instruction. When releasing a disc and wanting to change the angle of the disc, how much is wrist angle change and how much is arm angle change? Keep up the good work.
Freakin awesome site to all involved, I love the articles that I’ve read so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing more!
went to search the site just because of the name and then have been watching on and off since…
Keep it up
You guys rock !!! Love your articles .
I have really enjoyed all the interviews I have read on the site. Most specifically, the one with Feldberg regarding his experience at worlds. Tons of information, not only about the tournament but tips for us regular guys in general.
Insightful interviews, more in-depth coverage then elsewhere. I too enjoyed the Feldberg post-Worlds interview, how it suggested practical next steps.
Keep it up.
Great site. Thanks!
Enjoy the articles, especially reading about the up and comings. Easy to navigate……keep it coming!
Awesome website!!
Good promotion
I like the webpage design work that 1000 rated disc golf has brought to the sport. Nice graphics and great layout. I like the look on people’s faces after they have seen the sites that Brian has designed. Going about it word of mouth, with a successful product is the way to go.
Congrats!
Thanks for the help with the Illinoisopenseries.com Site, it is great.
i love disc golf , the eagle is the best disc ever…
Love the website! From the interviews to the up and coming events and player info. Great stuff! Can’t wait for more.
You fellers are doing a bang-up job. Layout is nice and interviews are well structured and informative. I enjoy that yall also list players rated between 990 and 999….perhaps providing a little incentive for those that are almost there. Thanks.
Bookmarked! Another disc golf site I’m going to check daily.
Say your post on http://www.discgolforegon.com …..good. interview with Feldberg
Came here to check out the list when you guys first went live, came back for the interviews. Keep them coming! Lots of interesting information.
Looks like things are coming along nicely for 1000rated! I like the concept, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. Congrats on a successful launch!
cool to see a lot of my Florida buddies on the list, I basically play with everyone that is on the list from Florida, really inspires me to get to the top, I’m liken the layout of the site and the articles you have are some really good ones, this site is a great thing for the sport its a great idea keep up the good work, I’ll admit, the reason for entering the site was the discs giveaway, that was a great idea too’
I have injoyed the Interview with John Houck.
Great interveiws and some really good ideas on this website. The people working for this website obviously know how to attract the every day disc golfer. Looks like a good future for sure. Thanks
Your interviews with the likes of Feldberg and Jenkins are top notch. Well done!
smell that fresh plastic!
As a new golfer and being completly addicted to the coolest game on the planet. I enjoy the news articles the most. I like also seeing there are quite a few Canadians gettin close to the 1000 club also. Im keepin tabs on em
i use the internet only for disc golf related sites,social e-mail and a little shopping.
What an amazing promotion. I came to this site in search of some detailed disc golf instruction and have since come to the site looking for world championship coverage.
You guys are one of the first to put disc golf into a well designed layout and should be commended.
John Houck’s article was a great find. Feldberg’s interview was unique In terms of readership. Look forward to more of the variety that this site is demonstrating n hope it rubs off on all of us!
I came to this site for the Val Jenkins interview.
I came to the site to see how many 1000 rated players were on here. Its nice to see you guys getting a lot of attention.
Wow you guys have come a long way in such a short amount of time!!!! I was able to check out 1000 rated just browsing one day. I came upon this article through disc golfer R us tho.
“hey they’re athletic” (we played some college sports and stuff) “but they’re not Michael Jordanesque you know?”… truly just motivating. Dave Feldberg could not have said it better. You guys bring it !!.. no doubt about. I love the in depth interviews about not only the amazing tournaments they play in, but the questions into who they look up to and their opinions on upcoming players in the sport. All in all .. the way you guys bring disc golf to the readers. Dave’s answers motivated the hell out of me. Your site is one of my first “Go to” sites of the day. Thank you.
i like the interviews you posted with feldberg and jenkins, and how the web page is setup. in all you have a good thing goin on. keep it up.
Just what disc golf needs! Professional web design, positive promotional ideas, and FUN STUFF! Thanks for the contest and best of luck - KEEP GROWING!
I like the fact that you are posting on our forum here in Springfield, Illinois. It helps keep both sites alive and well.
http://www.discgolfclub.org
Liked the norwalk tournement review because I played in it and the perspective was great. Plus knew the winner.
Awesome job and keep it up.
Greetings from Augusta, GA, love the site. Your interview with the Wii game developer as well as your great interview with world champ Dave “Borg” Feldburg have been quite enjoyable. Please continue to bring us excellent disc golf coverage.
First checked out the site after playing the Green Mtn Open. I have checked back a few times and like what I see. Great interviews with Borg and Val!
Great interview with Dave. I like the videos you guys put out. I cant wait to see some of the full lenght ones. Keep on with the interviews. Its awsome to hear what the top pros have to say.
Eric
Love the interviews. Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed the interview with Feldberg, In particular his thoughts on moving from a upper 900 rated golfer to over 1000 and what he focused on during that time. Great stuff.
The Dave F. article was fantastic.
Looking forward to more articles like that.
I really liked the interviews with Val and Feldberg. Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good stuff Brian, I’ll be in touch soon!
I’ve enjoyed the interviews especially the Feldberg one.
I’m in the process of designing a new course in coastal Texas and found your interview with John Houck helpful. This is my first visit to your site and I’ll be back on a regular basis. Great job!
Awesome site.. Great job all around!!!
Cool site, well designed
I think the Interview/player spotlight is what Ive liked best so far. I’ll keep coming back now that I know about the site. good luck on the drawing everyone
Great site, thanks!!!
Great website! Very intuitive layout. I particularly like how easy it is to check up on the guys that are at the top of our game. I don’t anticipate being there any time soon, but it is still fun to follow the best of the best. This site makes that very easy to do.
I enjoy the club listings on this site most of all, but i also like to go to the sponsor links as well for product reviews and shop online.
Great site. I like all the interviews and ratings of diffrent disc golfers. I realy liked the interview with Dave Feldberg, and the fact that your giving away 20 free discs makes me love you.
Keep it up. You rock! Keep Throwing.
-Chris
I recently read a long interview with Feldberg. One of the greatest disc golf pieces I’ve ever read. Thanks and keep it up!
I first came to the site to see the Feldberg interview. That has to be one of the best disc golf interviews I have ever read. Dave really took his time to give complete answers with true depth. There’s a lot in that interview for up-and-coming golfers (and us old guys) to learn. Thanks.
The ratings lists are a lot of fun. Who’s at the top, who’s on their way up - neat stuff.
Keep up the good work!
Great site!!! Player interviews are great. Thanks!!
Great site cant wait to read more interviews!!!!!!!
This is pretty cool , I can keep track of some of the top players in the sport or courses .
Great site. I enjoy checking out the hot rounds each week and the articles are top notch.
I like the list of all the top rated players and even the top rounds. It gives us something to shoot for. It’d be cool to make one of the lists eventually
I really enjoy the in-depth articles with top players that you’ve published so far. I bookmarked the site immediately after my first visit. Keep up the good work.
my friends who are just finding out about disc golf, i just direct them to this site, has basically everything ya need to know, i love the interviews and updates to ratings, i like to be able to compare my rounds with others!..
keep up the good work.. this website has everything!
I dig the site. I dig the pictures. Keep up the good work!
All this info in one spot, who can’t love it? Dig the interviews (especially the Wii one). Keep up the great work!
So, far I like what I see, everything is clear and easy to navigate. The articles are well written and interesting.
I hope to see my name on the Am Hot rated rounds next week.
Keep up the good work!
Solid site. Really enjoying it!
Thanks!
Been playing disc golf for about five and a half years now and love how i can still learn new and useful tips that really help my game out by reading all of the interviews and stuff that are available. very awesome!
I ended up here for the Feldberg interview. Really one of the most informative and thought provoking pro interviews i have read. Keep up the good work.
Hi guys, congrats on the site. I really enjoyed the interview with Autonomous Productions, the game developer working on the Wii Disc Golf game (I can’t wait for it to come out, Big Beach Sports is ok but not as authentic as it could be). Keep up the good work!
Sometime during this summer, I got the idea of creating a website with news, interviews with golfers, and other interesting articles on various aspects of the game. My idea was to build a common platform/portal about discgolf in Denmark in order to help promote the sport over here.
The other day I stumbled on this site, which pretty much embodies what I want to do!
It sure inspires me to get my own site up and running - thanks!
The recent David Feldberg article was very well written. Really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for the site.
I like this site because it is highly entertaining to read cool stuff about disc golf! Cool it is…
Thanks!
wow Great article on Dave Feldberg and giving away free discs. I will make it a regular stop on my web visits. Also great article on the the up and coming Wii disc golf. Can’t wait for this. I think the Wii format will just be perfect for this.
Dooood, how come ive never noticed this site before!?!?!?!?!? 1000 rated is the shiznizzle, they have interviews and videos that ive never seen before. ive been here for about 2 hrs now just reading. Nice job getting this website to be successful, i know i will spread the word about this site. By the way nice feedback on the wii disc golf game.
What a cool site!!!!!!! Great articles from the up and comings, keep up the good work. Long live Disc Golf!!!!!!!!!
I first heard of the site through the Rockford A-tier giveaway where 1000rated paid one players entry fee to the event. I thought that was very cool. I then proceeded to browse the site.
I think the thing I like most if about the up and coming 1000 rated players. Interviews with the people whose names are not big yet, but may be a force soon.
I like the fact that the top golfers get recognition for everything they have accomplished. I hope sometime in the near future I’ll be giving an interview here as well. Where were you guys last year?!? Besides, this site isnt based on sponsors, but a collaboration of all the best golfers and the up and comers. ROCK on 1000rated.
I really liked the Feldberg article… Really got me thinking about what potential we all have…
I also like the way you guys cover local and national news stories. We have had some things going down lately and Chico and it would be greatly appreciated if you could post some of our local stories.
Also, is there any chance of adding our Chico web sites to your links page?
http://www.chicodiscgolf.com/TheOutsiders/index.cfm
Thanks, and like I said before… this site is great…..
Mark…
The Outsiders Chicago has been added to the Clubs list.
Thanks!
I really enjoyed the Feldberg interview as well. His description of his round with Kenny Climo and how he learnd the difference between a stall shot and a true hyzer may well have changed my game a bit . Excellent website.
Love the site for the in-depth interviews and articles. I think knowledge is the best thing to past on to players, both new and vets and this site provides that. Having the option to go to a “preimium” site and discuss Disc Golf is a wonderful thing.
What a great website. I really enjoyed all the articles and have even learned a little something about this game. I hope to have my sons’ names or even my own name on here someday day! Keep up the good work!…Manny
hey now,overall the site is tight.Interviews are informative.Enjoyed John Houcks interview on his achievements within the sport of “frisbee”.Keep up the great writing ,reporting of disc golf.Random is defined;to select a member from a group whom all had an even chance of being chosen.Peace
I am a total disc golf addict and when i am not playing this fills the void i feel inside. i can only play so many rounds a week. keep updating the site and ill keep coming back to support the greatest sport ever invented. i reaaly enjoyed the article on paul ulibarri and his handling of bad rounds because we all know they are going to happen
thanks
i have a true love for disc golf…ive been playing for 15 yr and started a mobile disc golf store this year….i go around to courses and tournements in the area selling discs ,bags, stickers, drinks, ect…. its great…mark twayn once said if you take a hobby and turn it into a career youll never work a day in your life… for me its about promoting the sport and getting new players hooked on it…if anyone gets around to virginia beach come out to bayville disc golf course and we will play a round or two
This site is sweet because you help promote other up and coming disc golf websites. I am a good friend of Pete Crist, and am also mentioned in his interview, as one of the students that loaded up and headed out to Hudson Mills (not Highbridge) every day after school. Thanks 1000rated.
read everything you’ve published… this site is about to blow. the stat compilations and weekly updates are a great thing. the only way this baby of yours won’t continue to grow is if you miss a week with the updates. don’t get lazy… we’ll keep coming back.
compile an annual list of hot rounds or keep a readily available, searchable list of best rounds ever. peace, sirs.
I am new to the sport of disc golf and find myself looking for anything and everthing about the sport. I love reading reviews and articles about pros, courses and tournements. I came here via a link from another disc golf website to read the article on Feldberg and I will be back again and again. All the best with the site.
Great Site. I can’t believe I I haven’t heard of this site before! Keep it up!
Love the articles and lists. It is fun to read how different players use different discs. Keep up the good work!
First I heard about some interview on 1000 neverheardofit dot com. Then another.. then another. Quick reputation… keep it up! Love the site. The interviews have been excellent, the best reads in a while.
Cool site!!! I discovered it from a link on dgreview.com, and have loved it ever since. I especially enjoyed reading the section on a “true hyzer” in the Feldberg interview.
I first heard of 1000rated on the Disc Golf Review forum. Most recently, I’ve enjoyed the interview with Dave Feldberg. It was quite interesting to read his comments on what he feels is a real hyzer shot and his take on the whole “Nikko situation” made me shake my head AND laugh.
I also enjoy the tips and disc selection ideas I pick up from this site. Keep up the excellent article and interview skills.
Best DG Interviews ever. Great coverage and a good read. Sweetness.
Another nice Disc Golf site, Hoping the good exposure on the web starts to hit other types of media.
Sweet, I have never been here before, but there is quite a lot of nice info here! Thanks!
Thanks for the opportunity!
You guys did great interviews with Dave Feldberg, John Houck and Val Jenkins…I read them all and they are great. You are doing an awesome job, keep it up.
I love the in depth interviews of prominent disc golf figures. Keep up the great job!
I enjoyed reading the Feldburg interview. I also enjoy the giveaway!! Woot!
The interview with Feldburg really was great. Thanks.
First time I visited was by clicking a link to the Feldberg interview, the best DG interview I have read so far. I enjoyed it so much that I linked to it back on the DGR forums. Cheers and keep up the good work.
I’m shocked that Si had any mention of disc golf, although an actual article would be nice…. someday.
Hi guys, congrats on the site. The interview with Feldburg really was great. You guys rock.
.http://www.myspace.com/codorus_disc_golf
I got referenced to this site for some good reads and interviews and I am loving it so far. Thank you for putting some effort into the site I love it.
I enjoyed the article on Val Jenkins. I’d like to motorboat it.
Loved the interview with Feldberg, Look forward to reading more interviews from this site.
Sweet site! Keep up with the good articles! I play with several members of Discraft’s team, and it’s neat to be able to keep an eye on their stats without having to keep multiple pages open to the PDGA’s website.
The interview I’ve read (especially the Val Jenkins one) are great. I think this site is truly a standout among the DG sites I’ve seen. I’m looking forward to watching the site and it’s content develop.
Site looks great and I greatly enjoyed the interviews with Feldberg, Jenkins, and Houck. Keep up the good work.
really nice interviews, keep ‘em coming.
I’ve enjoyed reading the different articles and interviews. It’s really given me a whole new perspective on the sport. It’s also good to see interaction between so many people on a common topic. Great job and keep up the good work.
I liked the article about discgolfscene.com. I all ready signed up and am gonna be promoting my tourny there
I liked reading the “Up and Coming” section - it really breathes new life into the sport and highlights some of the “future stars” that are out there. I look forward to seeing the next few this site highlights. Great job on covering the future of our great sport.
An equally good read was the section “Low current rating to High rated round difference” - now to me that is awesome to see - even though the players mentioned there have low ratings it is good to see them getting some of the spotlight when they threw those hot rounds! Coverage like this will make this site an even bigger success!
The first time I visited was for the Feldberg interview, second time was due to this contest. Now Im planning on being a regular. I love all the info and content on this site. Keep up the great work everyone.
Throw 18
I love the National News page. Let’s me know where I can point friends to disc golf articles that made “non-disc golf” news.
Thanks for getting the inside scoop on the wii game w/ your interview and keep up the good work.
Cool site guys. Gotta parrot some of the comments above and say that I love how lower rated players can get some recognition for a hot round. So far so good. Keep it up!
I like the depth and quality of the interviews. Hope to see some videos/clinics with 1000 rated players in the future.
Met Ulibarri this weekend and started off letting him know I read his interview on 1000rated.com! Thanks
I’m a disc golf addict and I’m okay with it! 1000rated is an excellent disc golf resource! This is my new central hub to my disc golf fix! Get the latest and greatest news here.
‘Alternative’ Sports Go Mainstream is my topic of choice to talk about. I can not wait for the day where I can turn on the tube and get my disc golf fix from the comfort of my home watching the pros play on a weekend afternoon. Disc Golf needs to be accessible by others to increase the popularity of the sport and there is no better way than to get a few big tournaments for view on the television!
Great interviews on a great site!!! Lots of good info, good way to waste time at work.
Thanks,
Tom
Thank you all for the work!
Interviews good, best to you, and many more ideas/inspirations.
The Feldberg interview got me interested in your site and I really like the idea of belonging to an elite club where you have to earn your way in. Keep up the good work.
I’m relatively new to the game and your articles really help me troubleshoot and correct some issues in my game. Thanks for all the valuable info.
What? Interviews, Player spotlights, recent news, PDGA tournament results and player statistic links!!! What else could a disc golfer need? This site is what the disc golf community has needed for a while and this resource will be on all my friends favorites! Thanks for what your doing and please keep it alive! You got my support!!!
For me, disc golf isn’t just a hobby. It’s the air I breathe and the wind beneath my wings. Being out on the course on a sunny day with a soft breeze is spiritually enlightening. When I launch my driver, I truly believe I can fly…that I can touch the sky. There’s nothing like waking up in the morning and being greeted by my pink disc bag, like a loyal dog needing to go for a walk. Thank you, disc golf site. With you, I never feel like the green is far away. You saved my life, and 3 strokes off my game.
The first thing I ever read on the site was the recent interview with Dave Feldberg. I enjoyed reading his perspective on Worlds this year…since there was so many rumors flying around about his battle w/ Nikko it was nice to be able to hear both sides of the story. I also liked the fact that he talked about specific skills he feels a player needs in order to get to the top level and discussed how he went about getting there himself. Made me realize I need to work on my push putt
I enjoy the look and feel of the website, as well as the focus on the best players, and how they got there. I wish we had had ratings 20-25 years ago. I think I might have made the list then. Oh well !
Continue the great work you’ve been doing. 1000rated.com gives me a new place to look at while I have some “down time” at work. Your interviews are a great read and give some non-touring players and idea of what it’s like to be a touring pro.
I look forward to seeing the growth of 1000rated in the future.
I think it is amusing that Avery Jenkins is listed twice on the 1000 rated page.
That is what brought joy to me on this site
Whoops. So is Markus Kallstrom. Our boss is going to kill us!
Just kidding - we’ll fix it here shortly…
Well I would have to say that multitude of giveaways it seems that happen almost monthly.
I like the fact that this website gives stuff away!
The first article I read was with Mr. Dodge, the second was about the Wii game. I love how in depth you guys get, it usually takes me two to three times going back to the site before I finish an article (don’t want to get in trouble at work). Thanks for all the hard work!
I like the huge links page that allows me to spend way to much time browsing though tons of sites about disc golf. WAIT A MINUTE…I don’t need those sites, I’ve got 1000rated.com now!!!
I love that you are giving away free stuff! Lots of cool info and articles on here. Nice job, guys!
Good stuff! and FREE STUFF! I just started to check it out, and I’m diggin’ it.
awesome interviews … keep up the great work !!!
Good news updates and content.
And cool name.
I really liked the information on the new Wii Disc Golf game that is slated to come out sometime in the near future.
I was told by a a friend to check this site out and read the Feldberg interview. This site is everything you want from a disc golf website. I’m going to be a regular here for many years to come. Keep up the good work.
I love this website!! But one of my favorite parts of the website is how you have tons of disc golf clubs listed and there website. Now I can talk to someone in the area before I go play the course. You guys rock!!
The Dave Feldberg interview is one of the best I’ve read for any sport.
Thank You and Good Luck with your new website.
I’ve got it bookmarked!
As a sports journalist, I realize how little media coverage the sport of disc golf gets, and when it does, how most of it is poorly done. This Web site does a good job of keeping the public informed of up-and-coming disc golfers, such as Paul Ulibarri and others. Keep up the good work!
heard of this site through a friend in brooklyn. here in NYC we don’t get out to play much but I try and keep up with what’s going on. This site has it all. Love the Feldberg article, and the WII game article too - when that comes out I will have to buy it. thanks…
The interview with Dave Feldberg was excellent. He mentioned several tips and throwing principles that let the average recreational player (like me) inside the veil of the elite dgers thoughts about top-notch golf. I’ll be checking 1000rated.com regularly.
Grew up in the states, but have been living in Germany for almost 7 years. what a relief this new site is compared to pdga.com - Not surprised people are flocking here to read articles and get some tips. Never have I considered signing up for the PDGA until now.
Another note is that 3 random people I’ve played casual rounds from at the courses here has mentioned either a Feldberg interview or the John Houck one. I didn’t even know about Mr Houck unitl I read the article you guys wrote. Thank you very much for educating me on a number of things and good luck times 10
Love the site!
Found some good articles and videos that I had not seen before on the “National News” page. Good stuff.
After attending the 2008 Bowling Green disc golf tourney I used you site to try and find out about Eric Mccabe . He is one fantastic putting machine. Plus your advertisments for places to buy discs kick major butt.
You all have more information here than all the rest combined.
thanks
I saw a link to the John Houck interview, which was well done and informative. I have checked back since then and have enjoyed the content. The recent article on the IOS A Tier is a good example of spreading the word about some different things going on in disc golf. Good work.
Recently heard about this site. What really hooked me was the post-Worlds Feldberd interview. There isn’t anywhere else on the net with such thorough interviews of top disc golfers. Keep it up.
So far I like the variety of information, the site’s easy to navigate, and content is top notch. The Feldberg interview opened my eyes to a few things I hadn’t thought about. Good work.
I love this site because they are giving away a sweet gift package. I learned about this site because of the giveaway. good job guys
Thanks for all you do to promote this fantastic sport!
This site is awesome. You guys have great coverage in the world of disc golf.
I can’t believe how much this game has grown. Do you think it’s reached the “Tipping Point”?
I love how you have great write-ups on the up and coming players. Keep up the great work!!
I love the site because not only is it probably one of the best composed sites for disc golf with a level of professionalism that shall help to drive disc golf strongly to higher levels. That is why I really enjoy all the references to ‘national news’ section.
This is a pretty cool site, some good interviews and other things. Keep up the good work and congrats!
Found this site link on the pdga discussion forums.. To be 1000 rated….one day hopefully…Come on down to Austin, Tx and play with some big dogs!!
Peace and Plastic Y”all !
I have enjoyed this site because you have really gotten your name out there quickly since starting. By giving away an entry into an A Tier event, you quickly were recognized as a site to visit. Thanks!
I really like the Dave Feldberg interview. It was great seeing him describe his rise from a mediocre player to the best in the world.

I really enjoyed the Feldberg article. Probably the most in-depth and original article I have read to date about disc golf. Keep it up!

great site with interesting interviews. Keep up the good work.
Love to see who’s shooting hot rounds each week. Love the interviews too.
Keep up the good work!
More interviews with architects would be great! This is the best web site for disc golf news.
Thanks!
It’s great to see interviews of up and comers, like Ziggy, who being that most of us are not >1000 can relate too, while we can still hope to be >1000 some day.
Nice job on the site! Love all the interviews!!!!
The website is awesome! I love all the information you guys have. Its no wonder you guys are doing so well, and good luck in the future.
I love the layout of your site and I’m glad to see contest popping up. I hope this site grows because there are not many really “good” disc golf related sites out there, we need more like this one is striving to be.
Hope I win the free shwag!
=P
sweet site! congrats and what not
Cool site - One day I will be in the 1000 top rated - right.
Noticed the site, haven’t had a chance to look around much yet, but what I’ve seen so far looks good.
Sweet site!
Great Site! I love the player interviews.
I love the National News section. It’s great to see DG mentioned in various articles from around the world.
I really enjoyed the Feldberg article! I also love reading all the up to date info here first!
I likes the interview with VAL and the up and comming section is a nice touch
I love the site! I need those discs! =)
With the USDGC coming up this weekend I enjoyed reading all of the recent news and the pieces on Dave and Val. Can the World Champ take his second USDGC?
I think just maybe.
PS: Go Kris (20020) and Will (29064)!!
Great site, wish i was 1000 rated!!!
Love the updates on the news section. Always a great source of disc golf info. The interviews are first class, and a great way to size up your competition or your role models from afar. Thanks for your hard work!! Awesome site!
Great Site. Very informative, I like the the club listings, that should help players looking to travel and play as well as new players looking for local play..
good luck to me!!!
This article, http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/03/disk-golf-green-sport.php, is very timely and is a great one to put before Parks and Rec. Departments. Also, it great to see recognition to one of the most colorful up and comings in DG Nikko, from St.Louis. I have been following this kid since the late 90s. I admire his passion and I have utmost respect for his Uncle Dave of Gateway Discs.
A very unique and interesting site all around.
I liked the hot rounds sections. Especially having a section for the ams that shoot 1000+ rated rounds where it figures the difference from their rating. Gives me a goal - to get on that list.
making me wish i was 1000…
also you are giving away some discs
I enjoy the videos and the interesting articles. I am new to disc golf and its nice to see other players techniques.
A member (post #223) of the Jackson Area Disc Golf Club just posted a link to your site on our forum so I checked it out. It is now in my Favorites. I’m still getting my feet wet with it but what I’ve seen so far is great. Enjoyed reading the interview about the Wii disc golf game that is development.
Nice site! Great find!
I am fairly new to disc golf (~6 months). Just learned about the site and disc giveaway. Look forward to reading through the archives.
I liked the 1000 rated and the links to all of the disc manufactures. It is also very cool that you are giving away 20 discs. Nice website!
Entertaining articles.
I thought the interview with Mitch Sonderfan was good…though I suppose I might be a little biased! Love the site, fun to check out who posted the best rounds in the previous week, and the interviews truely are top notch. Keep it up!!
