CAPiTA Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Frolfing = my new obsession This sport is so awesomely sweet and I'm sure a bunch of you play it. It seems like it would be a very popular pastime in the 12oz community. For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past couple of years, (below info taken from disclife.com) Disc golf is a lot like traditional "ball" golf, except players use specially made plastic flying discs instead of balls and clubs, and throw them for 'par' at an above-ground target instead of a hole in the ground. There are different types of discs used for different purposes, much like ball golfers use different clubs. The object of the game is to throw a golf disc into the target, typically a "Pole Hole®" basket (a steel basket over which chains hang), in the fewest number of throws. The player begins by 'driving' from a designated tee area and continues toward the target, throwing each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed. Finally, a successful 'putt' sends the disc into the target. The most satisfying sound a disc golfer can hear is the 'ching!' of a disc crashing the chains before dropping into the basket. Most disc golf courses consist of 18 or 24 holes, and you'll find some nine-hole courses too. Holes lengths vary, but generally fall between 150 and 500 feet each. Trees, shrubbery, water and terrain changes offer plenty of hazards to avoid, and it becomes very possible to lose a disc in areas with thick growth, tall trees or deep water. Fortunately, discs retail between $7 and $12. http://www.provo.org/parks/Parks/Disc_Golf/Course/Photo_4x_scenic__9_large.jpg'> ^Basket (your objective)^ http://www.disclife.com/imgs/discs2.jpg'> ^Putter, Mid-range, and Driver (top to bottom)^ http://www.discgolf.ca/disc%20golf%20canada.jpg'> ^The definition of Disc Golf champion^ So, who plays?

MrChupacabra Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 i played for the first time the other day, it was pretty fun despite the fact that i was using someone elses putter the whole time. Chances are i will play a bit this summer since we have a handful of nice courses around here and its pretty laid back and fun to do.

Don't Panic Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Golf sucks, and the addition of smelly hippies and frisbees will not help. *In fact, it may just be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeforAnEYE Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 My friends and I growing up used to play this, and we also played off the roof, over the wire, over the light with those madball things, the foam balls with the faces on them.

Drue_Down Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I used to play all over Chicago Area and S. Wisconsin. I lived right down the block from the best course in PHX area, but I just moved. Hopefully I still play as much. (I'll have to drive, which = less beers now) My problem isn't cold weather, it's the heat. Try playing a desert course on a rocky foot hill when it is 115 degrees. I gotta get on the course at 6am to not die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drue_Down Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Is this similar to Ultimate Frisbee? Other than hippies/trustafarians playing... nothing. It is like golf, but measured in feet instead of yards. Disc golf hole is about 3-400 feet. Golf hole is about 3-400 yards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim540 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I used to smoke way to much weed and play disc golf. Now I don't smoke anymore and don't play either. hmmmm...... Funny thing was whenever we could get anything we couldn't find any dope we would always go to the course and find roaches under he picnic tables there.
