I just started playing and Love it. It's free mostly except for your disc purchases and it's great exercise for a 41 year old like me. Low impact great scenery and it only takes about 2 hours for 18 holes.

A buddy of mine is really addicted to it... plays in tournaments and such. One of the parks near my house also has a disc golf course on it [img]smile.gif[/img]

So... two hours... what score? ;)

We call it frizbee golf here, and I must say, I suck at it LOL. Now, if it were a tree hitting contest, I'd be golden! ;)

My dad actually does it professionally. He says it's great, but he injured himself this one time and had to take a break. And when people asked him why he was limping, he got to say, "Nothing, it's just the ol' frolf injury."

how did he hurt his leg playing disc golf?

That's what I asked my mother when I found out about it. I guess when you're a 50 year old smoking diabetic, it's easier to injure yourself playing disc golf than you might imagine.

WTF is disc golf?

THIS is disk golf

And is it popular over the pond? wierd... :eek:

we have about 1400 courses in the US and about 300 in Europe. If you go to youtube you can see a lot of instructional videos.

I typically score 4-6 under par but these are relativly easy courses most holes are less than 125 meters but the course I usually play is loaded with trees, Ladyzekke you would like it. You really need to be accurate.

As you get older it is easier to blow out a knee when throwing a backhand "normal frizbee toss" do to the torque you generate when planting your foot and twisting your feet, that's why I throw only forehand or sidearm tosses it is much easier on my body.

If you haven't tried it go do it it's fun.
