                                                                            Vibram in the bag

                                                                            Firm Ridge - This is my go to putter.  It has great rigidity and doesn't beat in.  With the Ridge, I  don't need to change my putter three times a year because the characteristics change.  It has extraordinary grip for a smooth release and chain grabbing ability.
                                                                            Firm Summit - I use the Summit for long putts and intermediate approaches.  The summit extends my putting range because it holds a long straight line with minimal fade.  I can count on it for intermediate approaches because it has a consistent release and holds a line.
                                                                            Firm VP - I use this for flick and hyzer approaches and as a wind putter.   Putting into a raging headwind, it gives me confidence because I can count on it to hold a line.  It is a beefy overstable workhorse in my bag.  This disc can take a beating, it's bulletproof.
                                                                            Firm Ascent - I use this as a control driver and for longer approach flicks.  Ideal for wooded courses because I am confident with the release and line it will replicate.   The grip and rigidity make it ideal in any weather situation. 

                                                                            Disc golf tips and advice

                                                                            Don't pick a up a disc unless you want to have fun. Practice putting, driving and approaching. Find a field and try different things. Identify your areas to improve and focus your efforts on these areas. Be confident when you throw and be strong enough to deal with any consequences. Have fun when you play and enjoy your surroundings.

                                                                            Favorite disc golf courses

                                                                            Maple Hill, MA - Challenging mentally, no time to feel comfortable or take a break.
                                                                            Warwick, NY - Many variations.
                                                                            Wickham Park, CT - Home course, well manicured and a big arm's paradise.
                                                                            So many great course I haven't played yet.

                                                                            Vibram Open - A lot of fun things to compete at and so many friends to catch up with.

                                                                            Favorite disc golf story

                                                                            Picture

After shooting a course record 49 on the Maple Hill Whites, Gregger backed it up with a 63 on the tweaked Maple Hill Golds, good enough for a 12 stroke victory.

                                                                            http://forums.nefa.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8075&

                                                                            Picture

                                                                            Cool facts from the event:
                                                                              1. He shot a couple of 1020+ rated rounds
                                                                              2. He got second his last four events and is very happy to finally walk to the podium a winner
                                                                              3. The trophy that he won is a disc that he dyed for the tournament!

                                                                            Well done Greger! Here's a little front page love.

                                                                            2/19/11 - Team Vibram's Greg Wintrob partnered with Jack Nickel to take down the Buffumville Dam Doubles Charity event put on by David Stidham (center). They won by six strokes and possibly made it look a little too easy. Rumors are flying that they may have set a new course record of 48.

                                                                            Well done Greg and Jack. Keep up the great golfing, stay healthy, and stay warm.

                                                                            Greg is pictured on the left and swears his Vibram shirt is under the coat. Thank goodness he is at least stylishly sporting his Quabaug / Vibram head gear.

                                                                            2/13/11 - He followed up the victory with a second place finish with partner Jack Nickel at the Tolland Dubs, part of the New England Doubles Series. Jeff Cahill and Sjur Soleng got the win.

                                                                            All in all, 90 holes of disc golf, a first and a second, and the cheesy grin that we have come to know and love never once left his face. A great weekend Greg!
