Disc Golf
Anyone enjoy this sport as much as I do? Easy for all ages, anyone can participate in a round of disc golf. Played just like golf but with frisbees called "Discs". You throw off the tee and try and make it in the basket (instead of a hole) in as little strokes as possible. You have drivers, mid ranges, putters, etc.... Its a great activity to do by yourself or with a group.
I am absolutely hooked! So any discers?

Oh man, I'm gonna have to get back out and play a round now. I have't played in a while, used to be absolutely hooked. 3-4 rounds a day on average.
Got any favorite discs? I'd be hard pressed to pick... Beast or Wraith for me. Both made by Innova. Really love my Discraft Predator as well, though.... |

I still remember when I first started out. Took me about 4-6 months of playing to even figure out how to throw it straight. Gotta be perfectly straight across your chest with a good snap to get any kind of distance.
I used to "raise" my arm somewhat near the end of my throw, like throwing uphill almost. As a result my disc would fade entirely too early due to fighting gravity. Played a course in West Virginia once. Absolutely insane playing on the side of a mountain. Lost 2 discs in the first 9 holes haha. |

Checkin in , I play a lil somnsomn. Im not competitive but I do know Speedy , the guy who runs the dghall of fame , and a few other semi-pros.
I enjoy the walk with my dogs and the companionship of a round with old friends and family. That said, Ive given away as many discs in me quiver to newbies as I have in there currently. Its fun to help spread the game around. I went out to San Fran a couple years ago and played like 3 courses for my first ever experience. Played GGpark, a lil 9 holer in santa cruz and my favorite , Pinto Lake, down in watkinsville , I think? Reaally badass course. I have one very similar 3 miles from me thats got major elevation changes, heavily wooded fairways and very leggy. I took my brother out on it last weekend and its the hardest one hes ever played. He wont stop talking about it. Planning a vacation , Im always looking for new courses to play while Im there. Ive probably played in 7 different states and havent found a course I didnt like. Im rambling , sorry - but um yeah I love it more than regular golf!

I just got out to play for the first time in about a year, yesterday.
I play all holes as a par 3 (on any course, doesn't matter) and threw for a 58 (+4). I'll take that. Almost skip-aced hole 1 too! Imagine that, an ace on your first throw after a 8-10 month hiatus. Still no aces yet, though.
