Winter Disc Golf Apparel
For those of you that brave the snow during the winter months, what exactly do you wear to combat the snow and cold? Personally for me, I wear Under Armour cold gear tights and top, Darn Tough merino wool socks, a dri fit long sleeve, and short sleeve, followed by jeans and a warm hoody. I also wear an Outdoor Research baklava hat,mittens, and gators. This winter I’m looking for a warmer layer that goes on top of my base layer. I’ve talked to a couple friends on Twitter, @playrecords and @inourdr and they recommend Marmot wind proof shell, and Patagonia base layers. They also recommended North Face pants instead of jeans.
I know this topic get’s brought up every year, and gear changes from season to season. I’m curious to see what all of you have to say on the subject.

2012 Bowling Green Amateur Championships
This was the second year my Fiancee and my buddy and his wife made the trip from Michigan to Bowling Green, Ky for easily one of the biggest Am tournaments of the year. The weather was absolutely amazing! I don’t know if you could of asked for better weather for the end of March. The temps were in the high 70′s to low 80′s the whole time with the wind only being a slight issue on Friday.
HB Clark and his team of volunteers go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time down there. The courses are always in pristine shape, no litter, graffiti, manicured fairways, and great baskets as well. If you are on the fence on this tournament please come, you won’t regret it! From the players package to the players party at Wha-bah’s Steakhouse’s with the final 9 located on the property. Most people come for the fly mart on Friday night where vendors and people can sell their merchandise. This year Discraft introduced Titanium plastic, which everyone flocked to. Eric McCabe was there to sign the new Titanium Buzzz SS’s as well.
Most vendors also hosted mini one round C tier tournaments at most of the courses before, as well as some BYOP doubles! Innova also has a longest drive contest that was one by Michigan’s own Tony Mitchell with a throw of 540′. Vibram held a CTP contest using their Ibex mid range for a spot on the test team. Another nice touch down there is if you win your card you receive a special prize. Do yourself a favor and head down next year, you won’t be disappointed! Here is a link to a couple more photo’s from down there.

Becoming certified — now on RattlingChains.com
Today on RattlingChains:
I take a peek and give a personal account of becoming a PDGA Certified Official, dealing with rules, questions and other things I encountered. Originally written for a personal blog in September, I’ve tweaked it slightly and brought it to RattlingChains, considering it’s a blog about disc golf and all!
Do you have any information for vendors? I would like to have a booth at the market at World’s but I do not know who to contact.
