BUFFALOKIE Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 It's kind of a thing down here. I am pretty damn good. I had not played in several years, but a couple of weekends ago my best bro and I played. I can still chuck it as far as anyone. I need to work on my short game though. Is disc golf popular in your area?
Chef Jim Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 In my area we call it Skeet Shooting. Then again I live in Oakland.

It's fun and free. There are 10-12 courses in tulsa County. All at public parks. On 4/5/2017 at 12:23 AM, Chef Jim said: In my area we call it Skeet Shooting. Then again I live in Oakland.

Captain_Quint Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Yeah, Ive heard of it. Only bad part about disk golf is breaking the news to your family that youre gay.
RaoulDuke79 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 I used to play several times a week back in the day. Played for the first time in years last fall. Still got it baby. Was a little sore a few days later though.

Captain_Quint Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 God damn.... If I ever use the word 'frisbee' in a sentence, will the closest person just shoot me in the head?

BTW the subject is Disc Golf. Not frisbee. Edited April 5, 2017 by BUFFALOKIE

Augie Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Is there a beer cart? It was a thing in Sarasota, FL. Not a BIG thing, but a thing. My kids learned in NC summer camps, I think.

You can't use use terms like: Kleenex, Q-tip, Aspirin, Duck Tape, Band-Aid, Formica, Crockpot, Play-Doh or 4merper4mer either

Been playing pick-up Ultimate for about 10 years and am pretty solid at it, though nothing like the club players. When I finally quit playing ball around 40, I tried a couple times to go back to Disc since I used to be a pretty good handler and short area defender when I was younger. But damn, when your legs are finally gone there is no amount of cheating that can keep you competitive ; - ) You just make sure you enjoy the hell out of every second of it, JR.......

teef Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 i've never played, but i know there are course here in rochester. if i'm not mistaken, i think the disc gold "national championship", or whatever they call it, was held here. i could be making that up though.

707BillsFan Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Quite popular here in Sonoma County. I don't play, but I see a few courses along the hills where I hike. On the weekends the courses are packed.
Cereal Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 There's plenty here in Rochester, as others have stated. Basil Marella in Greece is my home course - very wooded. I enjoy running the wide-open (but relatively short) Ellison Park course. Since I play Ultimate, I also have (at least so far) refused to adopt real disc golf discs, instead playing with a "lid" (lid = Ultimate disc, the Discraft Ultrastar). I played club ultimate in college, and I still play club on fairly competitive teams (not elite), as well as the leagues here in Rochester.

No chance I could run with you fellas now. I would like to watch a match, but I'll stick with a stroll through my local park. I guess that's what disc golf boils down to for a lot of folks...it's stress free competition. A little more athletic than shooting pool or bowling, LOL.
