  • Introduction
    • We are competitive, but not all of our friends appreciate the fine arts of tournament play and playing to win.
    • Some of our friends just want to hang out and have some fun.
    • Life application: know your audience
      • Communicate on terms that the audience understands
      • What if you don’t know your audience?
      • What is Natalfest/Disception
        • Started as a birthday gathering
        • Intention is to get some friends together and have some casual fun
        • 18 holes on your own
        • 18 holes with your doubles partner, chosen by singles placement
        • Overall winner is best total score and gets to sign/care for the trophy
        • What have we learned?
          • Advertise earlier
          • Expect people to drop – schedules change
          • Cost
            • Figure $5 per person for food
            • Leaves $15 for discs and prizes
            • (spoiler alert, this isn’t enough and you should either charge more or reduce to 1 disc per person)
            • Discraft misprint boxes are fun
            • Reduced disc rounds are fun
              • Trilogy Challenge

              • Learning the discs is easier when you only have two for a given round
              • Strategy for choosing your discs
                • Consider course layout 
                • Mid and driver, no putter?
                • Drivers only?
                • Will your desired disc be available at your “draft” position?
                • Product Reviews
