Getting bored of posting selfies and pet pics on your Instagram page? The 50 Putt Challenge is here! Brought to you by @brad_disc who started the competition on Instagram a couple months ago. Can you beat his score of 46/50 shots made in the basket from 15 feet away? We want YOU to submit your video for a chance to win your very own custom putter.
How to set up the 50 Putt Challenge
This is not as hard as it seems to set up and you certainly don’t need 50 putters like @brad_disc. You can use one, and keep getting it after every shot. First, set up a basket in the corner of the room, or yard. If you don’t have a basket, take a bucket and tilt it sideways on some sort of ledge. Be sure that whatever you choose to use for a basket, is the correct height (around 3ft tall). Now that we have everything set up, have a friend film you, or prop your phone up and film yourself putting 50 times from 15 ft away!

It’s that time of year to start planning Graduation Parties. Whether you’re graduating from High School or graduating from College, it’s pretty typical to throw some sort of party for family and friends to celebrate your success. Typically, these parties consist of family and friends gathered in you backyard or party hall, eating hamburgers and discussing how old you’ve gotten and how proud everyone is of you. How sweet…What if, you mixed it up and hosted a party on a disc golf course! You could separate everyone into teams and have a friendly competition surrounding your cake and hot dogs. Here are some fun ideas to make this Disc Golf Graduation Party a reality:
Setting Up
Okay, so you’ll want to find a venue that allows for this graduation BBQ-style disc golf tournament. I suggest, going to your local disc golf course, and asking if it’s possible to host a BBQ there. If not, you’ll have to create one yourself, which is not hard. What you’ll need to do is find an open field, park or backyard. You can design your own course, numbering each hole. If you don’t already have baskets, there are ways to get creative to make your own. If you want to get professional, here are some PDGA quality disc golf baskets you can purchase. Once you have the course set up, work on creating a homebase for food and drinks. A white party tent, picnic tables, or BBQ would be a great idea for setting up the party. That way, everyone can meet back for drinks and cake after the match.
Custom Graduation Disc Golf Discs
Something that would make this party truly unique is designing custom disc golf discs for the big game. Something that showcases your successful year, or even just a great photo of your graduating class. Another idea is to make a custom disc trophy, for the winning team. You can decorate discs and write “Pete’s Disc Golf Graduation Party Tournament Champs!” There are so many cool ways to decorate your disc golf discs to make your party super memorable.

Personalizing has been a trend for decades. Whether it is writing your initials on your lunchbox, or putting holes in your jeans a certain way. Making something personal is adding that special touch to something that’s yours. Now that we have the technology to make any product personalized by the click of a button, the possibilities are endless! It’s 2019, why buy brand named products when you can create your very own brand? Personalized disc golf discs are blowing up in 2019 and here’s why:
Personalized Discs are the Future
As disc golf continues to grow as a sport, like any other athlete, it is crucial to determine what your style is. Sydney Crosby likes to play with a CCM hockey stick with minimum to no curve, Pro soccer player Lionel Messi swears by his orange and blue cleats. What will your style be out on the course? Maybe you have a couple signature colors you can upload to your discs. Or maybe, it’s a certain animal you want stamp on your discs. Personalizing your discs will help you distinguish your self as an athlete!
Personalized Discs for the Team
Most team sports have jerseys with numbers and sometimes last names printed on the back. If you’re on a Ultimate Frisbee Team or Disc Golf team, do you have any sort of team unity gear? A huge trend in the disc industry for 2019 is getting team names or personal PDGA numbers on discs or frisbees. In the future, all discs will have some sort of personalized touch to it. Get a head start and design some discs for your team!
Ready to Put Your Trademark or Logo on Your Own Custom Disc or Custom Frisbee?
Create Yours NowPut Your Own Trademark or Logo on a Disc or Frisbee
Designing your own trademark is a great way to make a name for yourself out on the course. It’s almost like creating a brand! There are many creative ways to design a trademark and once you have it finalized, you can brand all your gear! If you already have your own company trademark or logo, spread awareness and put it on your disc or frisbee! You can get a bunch printed to give one to all your co-workers and put on a tournament! Here are some creative ways to incorporate a logo on to your disc or frisbee:
Re-design a Trademark of a Famous Fashion Brand
We often get submissions of disc designs which include copyright images such as, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Supreme (just to name a few). While we’d love to print them, it is highly illegal. A creative way to get the same look, is to tweak the logo and Photoshop your own initials or name into these famous brand logos. Replace Louis Vuitton’s famous LV print with your own initials, or write your name in block letters with red box around it like Supreme does. There are many ways to get the same look while staying within the laws of copyright.
Create a Tag Line as your Trademark
If you don’t want to use your name or initials, tag lines can be a great substitute when creating your brand. Something short and catchy much like Nike’s tag line “Just Do It.” Jon Paache, a FlyDisc Team Member created one for himself which he prints on his discs and gear. It really set’s him aside from other players and gives him the confidence and professionalism on the course. The tag line “Retired of it all” is Jon’s trademark and words he lives by on and off the course.
Use different Backgrounds
If you’re printing multiple discs with the same logo, use different backgrounds to give them all a unique look. You can choose from solid colors, or a color fade, or even a fun pattern from our backgrounds library. If you aren’t feeling the designs we supply, you can upload a background from the web to put your logo over. Whatever you choose, your disc will look great and you will feel great knowing you designed it!
Check out how we put our logo in black or white on top of some backgrounds from our app’s free background library here as some examples. These were designed easily in less than 2 minutes! It really is that easy, so go for it!

Create Yours NowTips in Designing your own Custom Discs and Frisbees
When designing your own custom discs and frisbees, there really aren’t any rules. That’s the beauty of being an artist! You can create anything you’d like and call it art. For some people creating and designing is fun and easy, while for others, it can be stressful and aggravating. The goal of this website, is to make players happy with what they throw. We want Disc Golfer’s, Ultimate Players, and even casual beach throwers to look down at their custom disc and smile with joy, as they throw something THEY have created. So here are some tips in designing your custom disc or frisbee:
Use Pictures
Choose fun photos to upload on to your disc. Your disc will stand out from the crowd with personalized photos. Using our customizer, you can literally upload any photo from your phone or desktop, to your discs! Just make sure they are nice quality and high resolution. If you’re not really a picture taker, not to worry. We have an extensive library available with various photos to choose from or you can choose from the web. Pictures are a great way to customize your disc because it shows your personality and interests. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Personalize Your Custom Disc
Large corporations, and their brand names are everywhere. They essentially control how we buy and what we buy. Custom discs and frisbees give you the opportunity to break away from sporting a brand name. We urge you to create your own brand! Personalize your disc by writing your name on it with our unique font library! Create a logo for yourself using your own initials! The opportunities are endless when you design your own disc. Whatever you do, make it YOURS.
Have Fun with it!
There is no pressure in disc design. You can upload as much or as little as you want to your disc. Have fun and play around with our tools in the customizer. You will be amazed by what your are capable of creating. Design a few and save them to your profile. You can always go back and tweak and redesign. Can’t wait to see what YOU can create!
Custom Discs on the Course
There is nothing quite like playing disc golf with custom discs you designed yourself. There is something special about personalizing sports equipment. We think it’s better luck to play with something YOU’VE designed. Here are some pro’s in using custom discs on the course:
No More Disc Mix-ups
Have you ever played disc golf on a crowded course? Have you ever gone to fetch your red Dynamic Discs Fuzion Sheriff only to find another competitor reaching for the same one? It’s actually pretty common for players to have the same discs, after all, there aren’t many disc golf manufacturers in the world. Designing your OWN discs, makes this awkward situation nearly impossible. Creating a custom disc gives you the power to stand out from the crowd. You can design your discs however you want using our customizer. You can even print your name on it! Or, upload a picture of your face on it! However you choose to design your disc, it will be ONLY YOURS.
Intimidate your Competition with Stylish Custom Discs
Imagine walking on to the course. You have a bag full of brand-name discs, all basic colors. Your competition walks on to the course and sets down their bag. They take out discs with their own logo they have created. All of the drivers, midranges and putters have a variation of their OWN logo. They have built their own disc golf brand. Before the game even starts, they have won. Creating your own custom discs and playing with them on the course gives you confidence and definitely some “cool points”.
Be Unique!
Custom Discs allow you to express yourself through art. If you’re not really the creative type, there are tons of options you can use to create a custom disc in our customizer. Having a custom disc on the course will set you aside from everyone else. No matter how you choose to decorate your disc, it will be uniquely yours.

Pop the Question with a Disc!
Imagine; it’s a beautiful summer day. You’re in the kitchen packing a delicious picnic for you and your significant other. You bring wine, cheese, grapes and chocolate. You both head outside and walk to the park hand in hand. You get there and she starts unrolling the blanket and setting up the spread. “Go Long!” You tell her as you pull out a frisbee. She jogs backwards as you toss her the ultimate with four words on it. “Will You Marry Me?”
