Misc: Urbandale 17 Year Old Gannon Buhr wins United States Disc Golf Championship
- Thread starter Farnsworth
- Start date
This isn't some minor league tournament. This is the best of the best. One of the guys he was playing with on the final day is basically the Tiger Woods of disc golf. He went head-to-head with some greats and outplayed them all.
KOK, GD, BF = all the same. KF and Iowa fans are the real problem. Kansas>Iowa State>Iowa.
People who aren't stoned play disc golf?

That is insane. All are very talented.
Definitely. Unlike real golf, I have a fighting chance for pars and birdies with disc golf.
I used to be hard into disc golf before I had the money for real golf. There are a ton of good courses around Des Moines.
Disc golf is great cause it's free. Plus it's challenging.
Ewing in Des Moines proper; walnut ridge in saylorville or pickard in Indianola if considering the greater metro area. Big creek is nice if you’re looking for less of an ass kicking.
Several great courses in the CR area including one that is being remade/designed to be a tournament level course (was destroyed in the derecho). The area disc golf club has been very active in making improvements to the area courses.
I have heard nothing but great things about Wildcat up by Urbana as well.

I feel really lucky to be in the CR/IC area for courses. IC has 3 really good courses: Peninsula Park, Altmeier, Sugar Bottom. Wildcat Bluff in Vinton is my favorite course, I just make sure I'm there by 7am to beat the crowds. Shaver in CR will be really nice when it's complete. I'm a big fan of Vets park in Dubuque too.
I figure at the worst you're getting a 2-3 mile walk in and fresh air.
I casually played (more so in the past than I do now) and was in a tournament in DSM with Gannon a few years back when he was probably 13-14 years old. He destroyed the (adult) amateur field. Incredibly talented, and not surprised he's doing big things now.
2nd biggest tournament of the year besides Worlds, one of four majors for the tour. The first tournament of the year Gannon lost in a playoff where he led going into the final hole, pretty awesome to see him finish the year getting his first big win at the final major of the year. Tour championship starts today!
