Catch the buzz at the Hippodrome!
College kids. Disc golf. Warm sunny weather. What could be better?
Over 60 college teams are headed to North Augusta, SC to compete in the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships at the Hippodrome next week. We at Killer B Disc Golf pro shop are happy to be in the middle of it all, especially now that we have these sweet trophy baskets on display. Wow!
Innova dropped off the trophy baskets for the past six champions yesterday. So nice! What school is going to take home top honors next week? I’m rooting for my alma mater, UMass, who is making their first trip to the tourney!

- John Borelli is the owner of Killer B Disc Golf pro shop at the Hippodrome and worked on a new course today.
Hott Shott has returned to Killer B Disc Golf at the Hippodrome in S. Augusta, SC for the second year in a row.
Hott Shott developer, Pete May, has made a few tweaks to the format that we are testing out for him as he prepares to take this extremely fun putting game nationwide in 2013.
Week 1 saw the return of several 2012 Hott Shott winners, plus a handful of newbies, and we had some fierce competition from the first putt. This Wednesday should bring even more people, laughs, trash-talking, and good times. See you there!
For more on Hott Shott, check out our league page at killerbdiscgolf.com or follow us on Facebook.
- John Borelli is the owner of Killer B Disc Golf pro shop at the Hippodrome. He lost his new favorite disc today in a huge patch of pricker bushes.
Ribbons are your wintry friend.
We all know that a lot of disc golfers don’t stop playing once the snow starts falling. But do you know how to you find your disc in the snow?
Here’s one way that worked great for me from a practical how-to article I wrote a few years ago. Pictures included!
What works best for you?
Feel free to share, but please give Killer B Disc Golf credit or link back to the original post. Thanks and enjoy!
We get a ton of snow here in the upper peninsula of Michigan and last year two of us played without and two of us used ribbon. The two of us throwing untagged discs really didnt have any issues. but I did get to see how well this works. shiny metallic red ribbon seemed to be the best. and it didnt seem to mater how deep the snow was the ribbon magically floats on top of the snow. I could see this being more useful in heavily used courses where the snow is greatly disturbed which makes it a pain to find where you disc went under.
I just played my first round using ribbons in a foot of fluffy snow last week. It limited driving distance, but it was definitely worth it in terms of being able to actually find my discs. Simply taped about a three foot Christmas ribbon to the top of the disc, and it made finding discs super easy.
Buy a ticket and be one of Aspen’s Angels!
Our dog Aspen is excited that several of the top players in the game have donated something to add to our Grip EQ bag fundraising raffle. We have received autographed discs from Nate Doss, Valarie Jenkins, Jeremy Koling, and most recently Paige Pierce. It’s great to see the Grip-sponsored players stepping up. Thank you very much!
If you’d like a chance at winning a new Grip Eq bag filled with goodies, get your tickets now!
Thank you to everyone who has already bought tickets too!
It helps to have a putting partner!
A few days ago I did some practicing putting with my nephew dog, Gryphon. Who knew he was such a good helper? Good dog!
This video is on a mini-viral spree on our Facebook page and has been viewed and shared by hundreds of people and was shared on the PDGA FB page too.
Gryphon hasn’t become a YouTube sensation yet, but I’m sure he will need an agent soon!
Make someone’s New Year great by winning them a new Grip Equipment disc golf bag and help us raise money for Aspen’s Angel Fund. (info)
Tweet it up with #aspenangelfund and @killerbdiscgolf. Then Facebook and Instagram (@killerbdiscgolf) the crap out of it!
Thanks and good luck!

We had a great time this past Monday at Killer B Disc Golf Shop in Augusta, GA as we welcomed back our locals who participated in the 2012 World Championships in Charlotte. This group of golfers included two newly-crowned champions, Pro Legend Pete May and Advanced Grandmaster James Elkins!
FOX54 sent over a reporter and she interviewed Pete, James, former World Champ Chuck Hornsby, 9th in the World Josh Childs (Pro Open), and 5th in the world Aaron Doyle (Jrs Under 16). It was a lot of fun!
Look for the story to air Thursday or Friday. We’ll keep you posted!

We at Killer B Disc Golf in Augusta, GA are thinking about starting a morning disc golf league. What works in your area? Do you play in one?
I have a feeling there are a lot of 2nd- and 3rd-shifters who are missing out on the fun of league play.
Let me know your thoughts and tell me what works well in your area. Thanks!
Post your answers here, on the Killer B website, or on our Facebook page.

I play in two leagues…. interesting formats for both… one league has 3 rounds a week start times at thrus – 5 hours before sun set, sat noon sunday 11. shotgun start…. the other league lets you show up Wednesdays between 330 and 530 and just play your round with who ever is there and then u turn in your card…both work but personally i like the latter, you just have to have someone willing to give up a large chunk of time to sit there and reg ppl….
Have you ever thrown a disc that landed in an absolutely crazy spot? Or maybe it tombstoned the ground or stuck in a tree like an axe?
We’ve started to collect photos of all types of crazy landings at Killer B and need your help to grow our collection.
Be sure to include your name and a brief description. Here’s one to get you started:
Don't mess with the Havoc! Sliced this one into a rotted log at league Sunday.
