Who is into Disc Golf?

Me. I played earlier today. I'm older so I'm not long off the tee but when my approaches are on (which they usually are) I can still score well.

I started playing Disc Golf in January. My friends and I are hooked. Any other players here?

Do you bring a couple tall boys of craft beer and some weed each time you play? They have a disc golf course around the local soccer fields and the smell of weed isn't uncommon.

I started playing a bit over a year ago. I suck but damn it’s fun.

I play with some dudes that have been going for years and they’ve shown me a lot. I just don’t have time to get out and practice like I’d like to.

Been playing for a few years. Great way to enjoy beautiful park and weather. Plus the discs aren’t that expensive and there isn’t any kind of fee to play

I play. I didn’t play much this summer, though. Too hot to enjoy it. My friends and I will probably start playing again in a couple weeks.

I picked it up about 3-4 years ago. Never thought it'd turn into the addiction that it did

I help run a group of about 75 guys in Baton Rouge

We play all the time. A bunch of us are going to Little Black Creek, MS next week

It’s a great chill sport

Is there beer involved?

It's fun but way too hot this summer

Been playing for 22 years. Was introduced to it in my junior year of high school. Played very casually for about seven years until I found out there were leagues and tournaments, got into those pretty heavily for a while. Peaked at a pdga rating of 1010. Then tournaments started filling up way too fast and soured me on them, haven’t thrown a rated round in over 8 years now. These days I prefer a more casual beer league type setting, unfortunately where I live now that’s not an option, and even though I was a founder of two leagues where I grew up I have a hard time drumming up support for a more casual but still competitive league. Everyone here has gotten too focused on score and not the “fun” aspect. Or they feel I’m stepping on the local sanctioned league’s toes and don’t want to rock the boat.

the comraderie is fantastic- used to travel a lot for work and would bring a few discs. Could always count on meeting new people at the course that were willing to show me around, always friendly as can be. Also took my wife out to a course a couple hours away and she was shocked at my lack of concern in regards to theft or crime, when I’m normally reminding her to follow basic rules like don’t leave your purse in the damn car in plain view.

It’s a damn shame that more municipalities don’t recognize how much return they can get for the relatively small investment when building a decent course. A neighboring town just spent $200k building a bmx park that nobody uses yet could have spent a tenth of that on a phenomenal disc golf course that would bring in people from across the state and many other disc golf “tourists”.
