FRUSTRATION at FALLASBURG in Lowell, Michigan!

[@hsabes400]

I'm a simple man. I see a TP video, I watch it, and I click like.

[@tossingplastic]

Thank you! I appreciate that more than you know!

[@Dennie21]

Woods golf is always the answer 🙂

[@tossingplastic]

I love it definitely! An open course is a nice break but they sure do get boring fast!

[@CoasterComedy]

No Way!! This is my favorite course and one of the closer ones to me. I'm so glad to see this course get the attention it deserves

[@tossingplastic]

@@CoasterComedy hope you enjoyed the video !

[@Colddemise]

This is my local course. It's quite tough, but really fun and pretty. Well maintained. Thanks for reviewing!

[@tossingplastic]

@@Colddemise it was a tricky one, especially on that first play through

[@stephenmcclaren3618]

Great as usual, keep 'em coming 😃

[@tossingplastic]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy them!

[@douggiefreshdg]

Very fair rating and review. Another great one in the books 🔥

[@tossingplastic]

Thank you! I always try to keep it fair!

[@averycochran4965]

Just found this channel a week or so ago. Been watching the vids since!! Love the content & your editing !! Keep it up big dog. I’m from Marquette myself so love the MI videos ❤️

[@averycochran4965]

And In regards to you’re hole 9 break, I’d say they need to constantly change courses (like changing the routes or shapes) yearly so they’re constantly seeing something new. They should also lower some pars to make scoring more difficult. I’d say instead of making holes just longer or more woodsy , do both.

[@tossingplastic]

@@averycochran4965 Marquette is beautiful! Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot. I'm glad your enjoying the content! I agree constant adapting is definitely needed!

[@evopowerboard]

Great walk through of my local course.. It's a humbling place but I love the way you approached it. Great job

[@tossingplastic]

@evopowerboard all about attempting to have fun haha, glad you enjoyed the video !

[@evopowerboard]

​@@tossingplasticHave you played Hickory Hills in Traverse City? That'd be a fun video

[@tossingplastic]

@evopowerboard no, but I want to go on a trip up north soon!

[@Tobbe_Hedin]

Nice video as always! The course looks a lot like many courses were I live in Sweden!

[@tossingplastic]

I would LOVE to play in Sweden! Thank you!

[@bushlite333]

Fallasburg is a great course, but man does it kick my butt. It has a special place in my heart even though I struggle bus through it.

[@tossingplastic]

I was surprised how much I wanted to play it again when I finished! It's an awesome course !

[@alanlundberg4534]

The thing I like about disc golf is that there are only a few simple rules. Since discs change with significant use, how about date stamping all discs, putting a maximum time limit on their use, and creating a huge secondary market for discs previously used by tour professionals. Or, making disc recycling the preferred and common practice. Plastic tends to live forever, and I do have some concern about manufacturing a million new discs each year that will likely last forever.

[@tossingplastic]

this is a very fascinating take! Forcing disc manufactures to use recycled plastic would be very very interesting! huh you had me look at this from a different perspective! Thank you!

[@HuckBuddies]

Check out Trash Panda Disc Golf. He gives new life to old disc 😊

[@alanlundberg4534]

@@tossingplastic I had several rules I had thought up, but I didn't want there to have to be officials watching everything because I like the way the sport is one where the players police themselves. I'm a freedom and liberty guy, and I think k the founders of the sport were too. Since it is a sport that is played in nature, I'm thinking pads and baskets should be the only marks on the landscape, and we shouldn't be leaving a massive heap of refuse for future generations to have to deal with. I wonder if biologically-based plastics like corn combined with recycling of existing petroleum-based plastics would set the sport aside as being culturally desirable.

[@isaackidder4448]

This main home course 10 mins away. Hole 10 you can go right side hook and it would be parked even with a heat zflx thank you for videoing this course!

[@tossingplastic]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a fun one to play!

[@postjazz1258]

"gnats" are actually a race of fairies that have long been under the control of the deep forest landsharks. the sharks send them out to distract and confuse prey increasing their likelihood of scoring that sweet sweet thumb meat.

[@tossingplastic]

HAha I always knew they were fairies but was scared to voice the truth. You have shown me the courage to speak out against the norm. Thank you!

[@kilo_turkey]

Nice round! If you make your way back to play again check out the 6 alt holes too. Also, Iona State Park, and smash park are a must play in that area too!

[@tossingplastic]

I actually got to smash the day it closed sadly! I've been eyeing iona state park! Thank you for the kind words!

[@kilo_turkey]

I herd they're doing some work to smash. Definitely worth the wait. I think you'll crush those long tees.

[@tossingplastic]

@@kilo_turkey I've heard nothing but good things about it! Thanks for the recommendations!

[@MicroandMomo]

Just played here for the first time on the shorts. Super fun course. Definitely will go back. They just worked on putting all new baskets in and they're fixing some of the t-pads because amateur worlds is going to be playing there. Lot of course cleanup. Definitely an awesome course.

[@tossingplastic]

I'm glad to here they are up dating it!

[@brandondeppert8589]

You should come play Madeline Bertrand in NIles MI . Its a steady ed original. NIce putter/mid course, all wooded. Love the content keep at it!

[@tossingplastic]

I'll keep that one in mind! Thank you

[@nolanmaryanski1023]

Loving the channel man, playing all the courses near me. If you make it back out to Southwest MI, you should check out Sand Ridge in Bridgman and Lake Arvesta in South Haven

[@tossingplastic]

I played lake arvesta and spoke with the course designer there! I hope to film that in the spring if the channel survives the winter! It's just a bit to much for me to handle solo right now plus I want to film when all the construction is done to really showcase it!

[@seanbinder8316]

Really loving your videos man I think you'll start picking up new subscribers for sure.

[@tossingplastic]

I'm glad you enjoy the content and I really hope to see the channel grow so thank you for the positive thoughts!

[@seanbinder8316]

@tossingplastic you got it I'm from Southwest Michigan so I've played some of the courses you have on your channel. I live in Milwaukee and am enjoying courses over here as much as back home.

[@PlainMoments]

I love this course and the content! Keep it up man! What mic do you use?

[@tossingplastic]

Thank you! I use a Rode wireless 2!

[@cmb6087]

I know it's a slighty older video, but I just wanted to thank you for being so cool man. I'd love to toss some plastic with ya some day. Hope you have a great weekend, can't wait for the next video.

[@tossingplastic]

Thank you so much! Maybe in the future we can!

[@jacobcorey6880]

classic course hell yea

[@tossingplastic]

It's a good one!

[@plugprod]

If we are talking about making courses more difficult, I believe Simon Lizotte‘s philosophy of tournaments having players being penalized via more OB and hazards in place so that bad shots hurt scorecards, and players are never rewarded from poor shots or choices. This IMNSFHO, and YMMV, and whatnot. Love your channel.

[@tossingplastic]

I'm not sure what these abbreviations mean but more OB can definitely mean more headache but possible !

[@plugprod]

@@tossingplastic "in my not so f$%^in humble opinion," and "Your Mileage May Vary" are the acronyms...

[@matthewmiller4616]

I'm against having tons of really long holes. I would have no more than 3 long holes. One dead straight, one dogleg left, and one dogleg right. The other 15 holes be very tight technical lines in the woods. Throwing a 200 foot hyzer shot through a bunch of trees is way cooler than seeing a wide open 400 foot shot. Long distance also increases chance of injury in the arm. Especially with 25+ full power shots. Smaller baskets are not a good idea. Instead make the area around the basket have obstacles like bushes and trees

[@tossingplastic]

Interesting! The arm damage i think is coming into play quickly similar to tommy john in the MLB! I don't think players would get behind more obstacles around baskets but would be entertaining to watch! I would love to see man sized bunkers like golf buy huge and force crazy putts!

[@carmaadams7804]

That looks like a tough first hole. For noodle arms like me 😂. Even with a noodle game, I don’t think OB is necessary. I think playing where it lies is part of the challenge.

[@tossingplastic]

It makes it a lot more enjoyable to just focus on the tree line and not out of sight OB!

[@ColesDiscJourney]

I have a noodle arm and I think the first hole is still gettable. You just need two nice shots back to back.

[@tylerhedlund7123]

This looks like a course I just tried to play today (I just started in May, missing a month for gallbladder removal, so it well poorly lol). I lean more towards woodsy for harder pro courses, though I know it's not always possible. I'm helping with a new course in the area that's meant to be advanced/pro level and it's got a good combo of distance and looots of trees in the way. The design is already there, I'm just a grunt work volunteer who can remove vegetation. The gnats (tons of different families with that name, but a few are interested in people) are likely after your sweat. Some will be going for blood (the no-see-ums), but they have tiny mouthparts and have a hard time biting us. But likely two different species.

[@tossingplastic]

Sheesh just get into the game and the gallbladder leaves the chat haha that's tough! I have heard of no-see-ums and the annoying/bad stories that come with them! Sweat makes sense! Where is the course you are working on located?

[@tylerhedlund7123]

@@tossingplastic no-see-ums are a huge pain! Even if not biting they tend to get into everything and area always in the way. The course is in Danville, IL. There's a nice little 9 hole at Kickapoo State Park, but a brand new 18 holer is going to be added in the next handful of years. As the course designer put it, it will be "punishing, but fair".

[@tossingplastic]

@@tylerhedlund7123 sounds awesome wish it was ready sooner haha!

[@johnshepherd6925]

Limiting how many discs they could carry would be wild! I'd be interested in seeing that 🤔

[@tossingplastic]

Very interesting concept huh! 5 per round??

[@johnshepherd6925]

@tossingplastic 5 molds? Or 5 discs total!? That's brutal 🤣 I was thinking 10 discs total but I think I like your idea more 🤣

[@GoodStarfish]

I love this course (my hometown) but gdamn it, it's a bast*** with the hungry, hungry landsharks aka trees and brush

[@tossingplastic]

@GoodStarfish oh yea, I actually played this one a few times and it got me haha

[@michellesmith3657]

Where is the Piwakawaka!?!?!

[@tossingplastic]

Don't worry it's safe but a very unique situation disc! Does not come out of hibernation often!

[@michaelfaber6904]

Are there short pads there?

[@tossingplastic]

Yes! They are perfectly placed as well! Enjoyable for all skill levels

[@20twenty_sti40]

Pro courses need to stop being played at boring courses like Ledgestone Temp course or Winthrop U. Where you have to manufacture fairways and OB via painted lines. Simply put, play harder, more technical courses and elevate baskets. Love watching you play these Michigan courses. You should make it up to Whiskey Hills (southeast of Ludington). And hit Flip City while you’re there!

[@tossingplastic]

I agree! It does start to feel a bit weird when the round seems mostly wide open with everything created artificially!

[@skyatomix1768]

how long it take you to get that stuff off after we found all the disc? 😂

[@tossingplastic]

About an hour, That was my excitement the next morning lol!

[@michaelfaber6904]

Make pro courses harder: Use green bunkers (like 10' deep to shape fairways) and create hazards along the course.

[@tossingplastic]

That would be entertaining and make some crazy shot shaping! Great idea!

[@Mattydisc]

Any reason you haven't done a vlog for Flip City?

[@tossingplastic]

There are a handful of top courses that I am saving for the spring! I don't want to do every single course that's close to home and I feel I can't showcase a course as nice as flip city with my current gear set up!

[@Mattydisc]

Right on! I look forward to it.

[@alanlundberg4534]

Let's do it again tomorrow!

[@tossingplastic]

I wish man!

[@davidherlein6068]

The gnats aren’t actually gnats, but very small, flying Leprechauns. They’re after your pot of gold.

[@davidherlein6068]

Also, I think disc golf is plenty hard. I know my drives are impressive, butttttt.

[@tossingplastic]

you set the new bar for banger drives haha! Have not laughed that hard discing in a long time lol!

[@RINGOMONJ]

I like the idea of limiting discs- pretty sure ball-golf limits clubs. But I bet the disc manufacturers would be against it as it would probably lead to lower disc sales maybe. (Or maybe higher because everybody needs perfect discs for each slot??? I dunno...)

[@tossingplastic]

interesting! I am unsure if ball golf limits club numbers, will definitely look into that! Would make for an interesting round with a disc limit!

[@RINGOMONJ]

@@tossingplastic Looked it up. 14 clubs in PGA. Might be an interesting number for disc golf pro tourneys. Although golfers rarely lose clubs mid-round like discs (unless they launch them into a pond or snap them over their knee in frustration- haha)

[@tossingplastic]

@@RINGOMONJ I will thank you!

[@natebell4764]

The nats want your salt and moisture, that's my theory anyway. Also I don't know this guy but I know this course. I think if I could throw the envy 300 feet I might score better. There are a few gap choices that I would change on 9 and 10 I think but otherwise you Plat it pretty similar to me aside from the power advantage.

[@tossingplastic]

I played there a few times, and pushing power got me in trouble. Filming I came in with the right mindset !

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

I think baskets need to go back to 1980 size .. i like woods more then open . A few open holes makes for a great place but trees is where this game was played.. and made.. i do like to get my katana some flight ... But i really just use the undertaker zone envy raptor fireball firebird malta roc3 luna roach dd3 force. proton photon. Defy anax leopard champion or drift .. my katana only comes out on 400+ open land

[@tossingplastic]

Interesting! I am unaware o the basket size difference from the 80's to current!

[@landonschmidt8761]

Come play the vines with me. Ithaca

[@tossingplastic]

I have not heard of the course before? Is it a good one?

[@SausageFPS]

Everyone always recommends this course to me, but i never tell them ive played it many times, and I think its kind of cancerous for a left handed player like myself. Just not a course id consider re playable, especially in Michigan where theres so many better courses worth the time. Kalamazoo and Battle Creek have better course selections. Oshtemo, Spring Valley, Robert Morris, Ridges, Vira. And Kiwanis, Begg park, Territorial in Battle Creek.

[@tossingplastic]

I was just in battle creak and rested some of those out!

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

😂😂😂 what do they want .....for real You can kill a 100 with your disc you can hear them connect but never do anything but land in the 👁️..and burn ❤️‍🔥 your shit 😂 I 🤔 think thats it... They want to make us go blind and there waiting to find the right man for the job.. the kamikaze

[@tossingplastic]

self destruct into the human eye haha! Thats a funny way to think about it!

[@cricketfilms1879]

the hole that was in your intro vids is a back left of teepad firebird forehand shot. I know its a garbage hole but i think its the shot lmao

[@tossingplastic]

nothing wrong with the occasional garbage hole haha!
