How many people have played disc golf? How many people love disc golf? I haven't noticed a DG presence here on the site yet, so I'm trying to establish one.
there seems to be a inherent dislike for the sport. well, i play! i love the game! and i play anytime i can!! i've been looking for locals to play with
i play in the rain, at one of the parks around here where theres a lot of trees to keep somewhat dry, but its kinda lonely cuz everyone else thinks thay'll melt in the rain.
I am an avid disc golfer, and am lucky enough to have many well designed, well maintained courses around me. Of course winter is the off season and I'm going to suck for a while till I get my throw back. That is of course if it ever fucking stops snowing here.
That said a lot of people dislike it because though it has a much more forgiving learning curve than actual golf, your still going to be terrible for a good while.
OMG i have been looking for a disc golf thread on SG for days! We need to start an official group! Anyhow, i am also an avid disc golfer. I took a disc golf class in college as my PE credit and was totally hooked. Since i live in cali, the birthplace of the sport, i have had the opportunity to play many different courses. Ive played tons in Monterey Bay where i went to college (we had 2 on campus), and also tons in and around southern cali where im originally from. I lived in Indiana for a while and played a few courses there too. Its amazing how big yet how niche this sport is. There are courses pretty much everywhere. We should seriously try to get a disc golf group going..anyone down?
yeah ultimate is way different... but just as fun!
disc golf can be tricky to get the hang of. I looked like a damn idiot for the first few months I played haha... but once you get what it's supposed to feel like when you throw correctly, it's like riding a bike...you don't really lose it at least for me.
