Birdie-  1 under Par.  Each course designates each hole as a certain number Par.  When a player throws their disc in one number less than the suggested Par, the player counts that hole as a Birdie.

Double Eagle-

Drive-  The first throw of each hole is the Drive.  On most disc golf courses, there is a tee pad or tee box to stand in, place for a step or two and a sign post for the par of that hole and a map showing in which way you through to the basket.

Driver-  The suggested disc golf disc to start each hole with.  Players choose a Driver to drive with, it gives the most power, is designed to travel the farthest.  A strong drive can set you up to Par the hole or even throw a Birdie (1 under Par), or even better, a Double Eagle, or Albatross(extremely rare)

DROT-

Eagle-  (Double Birdie) This is a throw 2 under Par, and much enjoyed by players that consistently throw under the disc golf course's suggested amount of throws it should take to get your disc into the basket.

On August 28th, 2011 the State of Vermont and parts of New Hampshire was ravaged by Hurricane Irene. Thousands have lost everything and are displaced or unable to leave their homes.  Over 200 bridges have been destroyed and 5 historic covered bridges in Vermont are gone.  Whole towns are stranded and others are unreachable by main roads.  Electricity is said to be out for weeks in some parts of the state of Vermont.  Railroad beds are destroyed and in places the tracks are hovering over thin air where there once was land.  The cost of the damage to the infrastructure of Vermont is astronomical, and most of the folks who lost their homes did not have flood insurance.
