Playing the 7th Oldest Disc Golf Course in the WORLD! Tom Monroe Memorial in Huntsville, AL

[@StraightUp_Mikey]

Hey bud, Huntsville native here. You definitely got attention because of the camera. Me and my friends play this course all the time and no one ever honks. However this is an area where city workers and police officers take their breaks. It was fun to watch you on my home town course and knowing what was a good shot and what wasn't. I hope the next time you or anyone else visit the North Alabama area you go and play Sharon Johnston, it is a nice little gem that everyone will enjoy.

Thanks for the recommendation, I haven't been there yet and not sure where I'll be getting to next. It's always good to hear which courses people like! What in particular makes this one so good, in your opinion?

[@StraightUp_Mikey]

@ if for no other reason it’s a beautiful course, it’s quiet and out of the way. But it plays as a good mix of a bomber type of course but make sure you place your leg shots right other wise putting can be tricky. Same can be said for another course in the area called Sunshine Oaks. Also I believe both were designed by Levone Wolf.

I’ll second Sharon Johnston, it’s a beautiful and challenging course. Hole 17 on a pretty day is the most scenic hole in the area. Hard to convince me otherwise.

[@brianlmoon]

It's right around 18 acres. It's amazing how well Tom made use of that land. So many courses that size are just the same shot over and over.

[@tossingplastic]

The trees are laid out well for it! A gem in the city for sure.

PDGA #13318 here. Was lucky to learn the game from Tom Monroe and other old school hall of famers.

[@tossingplastic]

No way, that is incredible!

[@discinthemitten4928]

Hole 9 break was cool, love the history lesson.

[@brianlmoon]

A little more about this course. It's the busiest course in Alabama according to UDisc. And it was host to the 1983 and 1993 PDGA World Championships. I have been playing since 1996. The only changes are a loss of trees due to pine beetles in a couple of spots which you can probably tell. There are some wide open areas that were not there when I started playing.

[@tossingplastic]

Oh wow. I hope its able to maintain, it really is a solid one.

[@jumpman83]

More history for sure, man. Hope you had a good time in Huntsville!

[@tossingplastic]

Great to hear you are into the history. I hope to get great response for it.

[@toddcannon1293]

Love the history, and your coverage of this really special course. I'm old enough to have a low number but, I think I can probably take the "prize" for newest number at #297192. Just started my official journey, wherever it may take me! Thanks Hunter!

[@joshuaspicer7676]

Heck yeah! Good for you!

[@steveleamont]

Always love the videos brother!

[@tossingplastic]

I'm encouraged to hear it, thank you!

[@michellesmith3657]

The TP Envy has been clutch!

[@InspireHustle247]

I can see your channel getting a million subs. You are doing great

[@carmaadams7804]

I don’t have a offers but I’ve been playing about 2 1/2 years and still can’t get enough! It’s rough being winter and dark so early. This course looks like a fun one, those tall straight trees are fun to try and avoid! I love how you make your rounds interesting for us while you showcase so many courses. It’s very inspiring for me and feeds my ambition to travel! Thank you for the great content!!

[@alanlundberg4534]

Dang! That wind was something. It was just pushing the branches all over the place.

[@tossingplastic]

It was terrible honestly.

[@alanlundberg4534]

Beautiful putt on 18. I hope you found a warm place to edit.

[@JeffAnderson1964]

People now a days just enjoy being A-holes at any cost. I'd get pissed!!! You've been a great teacher of the history of DG. Had a day off and played round in the mitten last Friday. 2 inches on the ground and 19 degrees. Busted out the hand warmers. Best day out in a while. Looked like a really fun course. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

5 digit here #73768. Those southeastern courses are charming! I hadn’t heard of Tom Monroe until now, hole 9 break was awesome story time! The honking is almost expected half the time with the drivebys… but I would agree the double tap was uncalled for 😞 Got out and played with the gorgeous weather in the Midwest and really had that rust caked on! Keep grinding and enjoying the van life!

[@joshuaspicer7676]

PDGA #275610 here. I've been playing since 2017. Never thought I would be good enough to join my friends in competition. But I took the leap this year, and ended up getting a MA4 win, getting sponsored, and going to the state championship! Didn't do well in states, but it was awesome! Also got a MA3 win in an unsanctioned tournament with my best round ever, -10. Very short course though, multiple holes were under 200ft. Can't wait for the 2025 season!

[@tossingplastic]

The competition can make us play better and humble us when we don't. I'm glad to hear you took the leap, congrats on your MA3 win!

[@joshuaspicer7676]

@tossingplastic Thank you! And you're correct about competition. It's always humbling!

[@Cristopher1976]

Tom used to say Lavone Wolfe #580 was the reason he didn't have a single digit pdga number. Lavone was procrastinating so Tom went ahead and sent off for his number. #fore

[@ToddsDiscGolf]

Been playing since the summer of ‘23 and have no pdga number. Just played my first tournament recently but it was part of a local unsanctioned series. Don’t plan on joining pdga if I can help it.

[@alanlundberg4534]

It would just be horrible if that city worker had one of his valve stems get loose, fall out, and get lost somewhere. I've heard that it happens -- it's just weird. After the second time, it would likely become my project for the day.

[@tossingplastic]

hahaha! That would be tragic.

[@matthewmiller4616]

I've played some pretty dated courses but nothing super old. Putting on mach 1 baskets is not exactly easy

[@ToddsDiscGolf]

That city worker was definitely out of line and would piss anyone off but who knows maybe honking in peoples backswing is the only joy he gets in his life so let’s give him a pass 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mdrisley]

I sincerely appreciate the stuff you endure in order to entertain and inform us. Thanks for not letting the A-holes win. I’m glad you sunk the putt at the end. You deserved it. 🦩

[@tossingplastic]

It seems the wind has been the worst this year from all my time playing, no matter where I go. Thank you for that! A good putt is a great reward.
