I have grown quite fond and intrigued by the sport. Just in my back yard, we have a world class Disc Golf course. It is a full 18 holes of fun. Disc Golf has all of the frustration of normal golf - with shots inexplicably hooking to the left or right, seemingly perfect puts dropping in and then inexplicably bouncing out the basket, and challenges of finding the right disc for the right shot. It is oh-so-sweet when you knock down a long range put, or when your drive does the elusive but much desireable "S-Curve" and lands close to the basket. The main difference between disc golf and 'club' golf, is that disc golf is free. The "drivers" cost $10 versus $200-$300 that you would pay for a decent 3-wood.
Here is the Kilborne Park Disc Golf map:
Talla knocking down a 15 foot put on the practice green:
At first, I just bought two discs. Since then I have bought an additional 10, and I have enough discs for 3 people to play with some variety.
Just about everyone that has visited the house now has played a full 18 rounds of frolf. Including my cousin Tom and my friend Joe. Joe picked it up really quickly, and I began to get a bit competitive when his drives started landing closer to the basket than mine. Ultimately, our games came down to who puts best, and I was able to oust him.
So far my best score has been a +10. My friend Nate has tought me a new technique called the Tomahawk, that I might implement to get it closer to par.
