Let's bring this back! And make it a monthly contest! We'll post the best pic and story from each month!

I was at my home course playing a solo round before Christmas, had just holed out on #4 with a birdie and was feeling great about my round.  As I walked to the tee for #5, I ran across Chuck Norris.  Surprised that a celebrity of such stature would be on MY course, I approached him (NOT from behind!) cautiously in hopes that maybe he was actually playing a round and could give me some pointers.  As I got closer, I noticed that he wasn't disc golfing (as evidenced by the pile of unconscious bad guys strewn about).

"Nice job, Chuck," I said, pointing to the crooks as he simultaneously hog-tied 4 of them, "and thanks for keeping the course clean." 

Chuck glanced over at me, obviously wanting to get back to his crime-fighting endeavor, and said, "Nice Frisbees," and pointed to my bag.  As soon as he did that, all of my discs shattered into hundreds of pieces.  "Sorry, kid," he said.  "You really should get some high-quality rubber equipment, which won't get destroyed as easily when I point at it." 

"Rubber discs?" I asked, confused.  "I thought all discs were plastic?"

Chuck removed the shoes off one of the thugs, tore the rubber soles off, rolled them into a ball, and fashioned them into a beveled-edge disc.  "Try this," he said.  "But I won't always be around to get you new equipment, so when you need high-quality rubber disc golf gear, go to my friends at Vibram and tell 'em Charles sent you."

A while ago, my brother and I were out designing the layout for a course we are trying to build near my house. We were out one day clearing and playing a few of the holes.  I pulled out my stingray on a hole that is a twenty foot wide tunnel, 250 feet long, and a hook left to right. I threw my shot a little close to the side, caught a medium sized tree hanging over the edge. I wasn't sure, but I thought I had seen the disc go in two different directions at the same time. When I got up there, I saw one piece five feet to the left of the tree, and the other piece five feet to the right. I was amazed, but the first thing I thought was, which one do I play from? I went out a got a summit that I now use for all of my flat to turn over shots. I now have three Vibram discs, and love them all.

We went to Steeplechase park in Kyle, TX. On Hole 11, I threw orange sunny roc and hit the tree. It cracked ! It was in January and 40 degrees. I had it with me for few years. I heard lot about Vibram. I decided to try out firm x-link ridge. I tested couple of times. I loved it and replaced the roc and it holds a long line and unbreakable! Thanks so much!

It seems odd that of all discs a soft putter could be "broken," but this Soft-Banger GT has definitely been through it all. For the longest time it served as my go-to short range putter, and for occasional "floating" upshots. Well, seems that while floating down Hole 9 at Z Boaz, it caught a limb in a scrub oak. I ran down to shake it out of the tree, but noticed it was pierced all the way through! Had to climb up to recover it, even though I haven't used it since. Decided it was time to try a new putter, and since then the Vibram Summit has filled all of my close-range putting needs and many other kinds of shots that I keep discovering!

My Sonic already had a small hairline crack in it, but a solid tree whack split it right open.  Brittle plastic, Michigan winters, and errant throws on a heavily wooded course = time for a new disc.  The solution: a Vibram Ridge.  Despite my propensity for hitting trees, I think it would be impossible to damage my Vibram.
