Got a casual one here. “Disc”overed the sport (see what I did there? lol) in March 2019 thanks to extra time provided by Covid (blah). I just turned 50 and WISH I had found it earlier in life so my body could handle it more easily BUT…my family and I still enjoy it.
Can’t break more than 350 on a drive to my knowledge…sure my form could use help…not much of an Xstep there…but I can be fairly accurate.
Probably play more like every other week around work schedule.
Like you…can shoot par fairly regularly unless I play on a more difficult or really long course.
Love to watch a pure flight on a disc…whether I get lucky and throw it or watching somebody else do it!
This is a great thread to me! Twisted Raven, I love your arsenal or whatever you call it. It’s really cool.
I became a frisbee fanatic like……50 years ago. I was pretty good but there were no disc golf courses—at least not in my neck of the woods. I played whenever I had a partner. I had a really awesome frisbee dog—German Shorthair named Rusty who could tune out the rest of the world as long as there was a Frisbee in my hand. I could throw a disc a long ways in those days but couldn’t out-throw Rusty. My younger son introduced me to disc golf a few years ago. I enjoyed it but arthritis has limited my ability in my old fart years. I think I would have been quite the addict in my better days. Like I said, I think this is a really cool thread!
Dang, I haven’t played for like 40 years, but I don’t remember using more than like 3-5 frisbees…
I do remember coming home with different ones than I left with sometimes though
Are each of those different discs used for particular situations, sort of like the different woods and irons in a golf bag?
I’ve thought about playing a course, but never got around to it. Brings back memories, though, of the first time I tossed a disc; I was maybe 8 years old, on the beach next to the fort in Key West, with a couple of older fellas. For several mornings in a row we’d toss a Frisbee or a Whiz Ring (sort of like Aerobie, with open center) and then play cribbage.
