The Disc Golf Guy - Vlog #6 - Cracked Plastic Tournament and Disc Resting on Top

The Disc Golf Guy shares his insights and expertise at the Cracked Plastic Classic Larry Lebond tournament in Cazoo Michigan. This vlog marks the 6th installment of The Disc Golf Guy's video blog series. Join him on a balmy day as he navigates the short, technical, and wooded course reminiscent of courses like Manaa or Sandy Point Resort in Locka Flambo, northern Wisconsin. The Disc Golf Guy provides rule clarifications to help new players understand what counts for a valid putt. He addresses questions such as when it lands on top versus resting on top, and whether it's supported by the basket's contraption. The Disc Golf Guy also shares his experience with the Camu Basket Cases' event, which has been running for over 12 years. With over 10 years of attendance under his belt, he knows the course like the back of his hand.

Join me at the Cracked Plastic Tournament where I face off against fellow players in a battle of skills and epic shots!
