This guest blog post is by Hunter Stanford. To only say that the Wells Branch Disc Golf Course got its engine re-tweaked for high performance leaves out the aesthetic changes. But to say that the course got itself an expensive facelift ignores what’s under the hood. With 18 baskets as opposed to the previous nine, […]
Hold My Beer: Mug Muscles Start-Up Launches Exercise Beer Mug
This guest blog post is by George Hillhouse. Growing up in Alabama, one of my favorite sayings was, “Hold my beer and watch this.” In fact, if that’s not the State Motto, it ought to be.

In a couple of ways, this image embodies the misconceptions around the […]

This guest blog post is by Hunter Stanford. Wells Branch is a course your grandfather would approve of. No bells, no whistles and it isn’t here to prove anything. Rather, one might consider this disc golf course to be a straight-shooter. Maybe you’re still scratching your head. My grandfather doesn’t even know what disc golf is. To be clear, the […]
