A wook that lived on my floor @ UConn used to play, always meant to join him for a round.

I wish there was a course in S.Conn... but the pdga.com only lists courses in UConn area.  I\'ve got a huge park across the street from my house... maybe I\'ll just make up a course.

The course that I played at was in Northhampton....very crappy course (I believe some person just got some money from the town for baskets "holes" and made it himself.  I hear that their are about 15 courses in MA, probably out closer towards Boston.  It\'s a very tough game to play.

Been playing since \'90. I have played on courses in Cal., Colo. Nev, and Arizona. My next trip out East has got to include a game. I have 4 discs I use all the time. Cobra, Eclipse ,Shark and a Rubber Putter. I love Disc Golf and we have one of the best courses in the state Morley Field(if not the nation) within a 15 min. drive.

found some more CT courses...

Fairfield, Connecticut  06430, United States  Fairfield University    
Manchester, Connecticut  06040, United States  Wickham Park DGC    
North Grosvenordale, Connecticut  06255, United States  
West Thompson Lake  Norwalk, Connecticut  06851, United States  
Cranbury Park  Southington, Connecticut  06489, United States  
Camp Sloper  Storrs, Connecticut  06268, United States  
Collegiate Park DGC  

I\'ve got to do some research about the course setup to see if that park across from my house would work.  Might even be able to get the park association to spring for the holes

I have friends who have played the Southington course. LOTS of trees, if I remember correctly.

You would have a blast man. Out here you can bring along a cooler and EVERY course seems to have just the right place to enjoy a nice fat boule. Not sure how friendly courses out there may be but the game is alot of fun.

Always remember this: You can\'t get it in if you don\'t get it up.
 It will help your Putting as long as you don\'t laugh.
