Thread: the Disc Golf thread

Any sport you can play while drinking a beer is civilized!

Only bad part...I have contracted poison oak more than once due to my drives sucking and stomping through underbrush et al.

lol. . . gotta watch out for that shit!

it's time to go hit the links. . . .



WOO HOO!!

Disc golf is great. We have about three good courses up in the Fargo/Moorhead area. In particular, there is one that kind of goes along the Red River in a valley area with hills, water and trees so it's especially fun. The one we have here in my hometown back in South Dakota stinks, but at least we have one. Disc golf is a sport I usually associate with the hippies, so it's kind of obvious what goes on during the festivities. Mellow out, chill out and toss them discs.

So one of my buddies didn't want to play Ft. Morgan (he had girlfriend stuff to do later...) so the 4 of us just played doubles at Badlands and after that me and another played a round at Birds Nest. A little windy, but nothing I'm used to playing in.

Doubles results....My partner and I lost by 1

Singles I won by 3


PEACE!!!

I'm not sure what the courses name is, but it's just off 6th ave parkway and Wadsworth. Just a small 9 holer and every hole is a birdie op....

Anyway we play there every now and then just for "Ace Ops". (Still have yet to hit one ) Hole 6 there is about 280ft from tee to basket. Well I threw a nice drive floated a bit started turning left when the wind took hold and sent it on a up a down journey until it slammed it right off the top of the basket!!! Only thing closer would have been to go in. Oh so close!!

Finished the 3 rounds -8 and "stomped the comp" which consisted of my buddy and another gent we met while playing. Whoo Hoo.


Next chance to play will be Saturday, but not sure where yet!



PEACE!!!

finally took some pics of the course that i play most of the time. . .

















here's dogfish on the course. . . .

this hole has pissed me off so many times. . . it's a pretty sharp downhill grade that dog-legs off to the left. . .





nice tight fairway here. . .

I went out for the first time in almost a year yesterday at the local park course. It's an 18-holer that winds through both a forest and a literal farm of wheat. Unfortunately, it had rained about 3 inches the hour before, so we only made it through about 8 or 9 holes when my shoes were ruined and I had lost a good driver to the current of a stream. Next week, though, I'm hitting the course when it's dry.

Excellent pics Cam!!!

What course is that? Where is that? I love that tight fairways and the trees!!!

I'm playing Lighthouse (The Cactus Course) tomorrow at 10:30 with 3 opponents..er..friends... Most likely we'll play dub's, but if we play singles I'm all over 'em!!



PEACE!!!

yea. . . it's no fun when you're sloshing through a few inches of mud to play-- especially if they don't have concrete tee boxes, and you're slippin' and slidin' when you're trying to launch your drives. . . i had a few rounds like that earlier in the spring. . .

it was in the high eighties with mad humidity here today, and i was about the only fool out on the course. . . gotta go when you can, though. . . .

it's hedges boyer DGC in tiffin, ohio. . . it's in a big ass park. . . . there are a few woods holes, but it's mostly mature trees and mowed grass, which is really nice-- very little rough to lose your discs in! there are a few elevation changes (nothing too drastic), and one or two where the creek comes into play, but only if you shank it (yes, i have thrown a few discs in there, and it's deep enough that they're gone if you do ). . . pretty easy course, but it's good for a beginner like me, and it's hardly ever crowded, which i love. . .

i never played the cactus course when i was out there-- enjoy your game!

i know i turn every thread into a pot thread.... But this is more well known as stoner golf or hippie golf... Invented by stoners, played by stoners. I played in college on the campus. Good times... Hit the bowl, throw a disc..... light the white-boy, throw another disk... good times

Reminds me of PCU.... jerrytown.... SWIRLIES!!!

Them disks are heavy... I knew nothing of the game before college... It only took a day to get me hooked... i have always sucked at golf... its been a couple years for me... thanks for bringing back the memories guys.....

i think i need to assemble the homies soon.... I know there are a couple courses on the beach out here

Up doing the earlybird thing here at work to make up a few hours, then I am headed to the course. I'm sure I'll play another course when finished with the first but "Either way it's a disc golf day!!!" Got the top down on the O||||O, got one bag full of discs, the other bag full of green and out on the course is where I'll be seen!!!






PEACE!!!

Al is the man
