Does anyone here play Disc Golf?

What is disc golf?
It is similiar to regular ball golf but played with a frisbee-type disc made of plastic. The average disc golf course is between 5 and 8 thousand feet (about a mile and a half). The rules are similiar but instead of hitting a ball with a club, you throw your disc from the tee, then throw from your "lie", then putt out into a basket.

Whats so great about it?
First of all, it is very inexpensive to play. Most discs cost less than $10 dollars, and you can begin with one or 2 discs. Also, most disc golf courses are free! A foursome can play a full round of 18 in less than 2 hours.

Why play?
The best reason (for me) is that it gets you OUTSIDE in the open air, and gives you a great excuse to walk around a park for a couple of hours. It is also a great form of exercise. It is also a fun form of competition which requires skill of the body and mind.

All that aside.... i gotta tell you people, this is the shit!

I am 40 years old, and for most of my life I was very athletic, but have grown lazy and unmotivated as I've grown older. I can no longer compete well at the sports i used to excell at. This has caused me to give up on many of them, and my body has deteriorated as a consequence. Then i found disc golf. As a competetive person by nature, the sport has fulfilled the need to be active AND competetive, while getting me off the couch, away from my computer, and back into nature all for the same reason.
I have gotten back in shape in the last year, I have something to look forward to every nite after work, and am even thinking about entering tournaments.
I highly recommend disc golf to anyone who is looking for a great hobby. There are disc courses all over, and many more opening all the time. It is a sport you can play for life, and it never gets old or boring.
