Why track your disc collection
Disc golfers collect without trying. A few rounds in, you have duplicates, beat-in copies, a stamp you never throw and a disc you lent out a year ago. Keeping an inventory solves real problems:
- Packing the right bag. Knowing exactly what you own means choosing discs on purpose.
- Telling copies apart. Two copies of the same mold in different plastics or wear levels fly differently.
- Buying smarter. You stop buying a disc that does the same job as three you already have.
- Selling and trading. Weight, plastic and condition are the first things a buyer asks.
- Lost discs. A photo and details make a disc much easier to describe if it goes missing.
What to record for each disc
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Mold and brand | The design, and the flight numbers that come with it |
| Plastic | Grip, durability and how fast it beats in |
| Weight | Heavier tends to be more stable in wind; lighter is easier to throw far |
| Condition | Wear changes flight; buyers expect an honest description |
| Photo | Identifies the exact copy, color and stamp |
| Bag | Where the disc is right now |
Condition is worth describing consistently. Many players and sellers use a simple 1 to 10 scale, where 10 is unthrown.
The Disc Shelf in My Disc Golf
My Disc Golf, the app I built for disc golfers, keeps everything on the Disc Shelf: every disc with photos, plastic, weight and condition.
Alongside your own details, the app includes a database of thousands of PDGA-approved discs with their speed, glide, turn and fade, plus interactive flight charts for different arm speeds, so you can see how each disc on your shelf is meant to fly. If those numbers are unfamiliar, disc golf flight numbers explained covers them.
Bags: from collection to course
A collection is what you own; a bag is what you carry today. My Disc Golf supports unlimited bags, so you can keep:
- a full bag for your home course,
- a light bag for casual rounds,
- a windy-day bag full of overstable discs,
- a tournament bag you do not touch the week before.
Each bag shows what is in it and what is missing. The Flight Matrix lays the bag out by flight, so gaps such as “no overstable driver” stand out. For how to fill them, see disc golf bag setup.
Tracking wear over time
Updating condition as a disc gets beaten in tells you which copy is your straight one and which is still overstable. Overstable vs understable discs explains why a beat-in disc turns more.
Images to sell or show off a disc
When a disc is up for sale or trade, or you just want to show off a rare stamp, My Disc Golf generates clean, ready-to-post images. Good listing images, together with weight, plastic and an honest condition, answer most buyer questions before they are asked.
In your language
The app is available in 18 languages: English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Estonian, Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian, German, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. It follows your device language. Disc golf has its own vocabulary (hyzer, fade, putter, midrange), and each language uses proper disc golf wording rather than machine translation.
Free and PRO
My Disc Golf runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later and has been maintained since 2021. The app is free to download. PRO, available monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase, adds GPS-measured throw distance, distance-training sessions, and throw history and stats.
