I love to Dilf with my friends. Shot my first par round at a course finally this year after a decade of playing. Also have come so close to a few aces.

Need to learn to proper throw a drive and not side arm tho at some point

the coverage of disc golf has gotten so much better, it is super entertaining to watch. you can watch the best four-some play nine holes in like 30 minutes.

the culture is really warm and welcoming from what i can tell

should probably rethink this post because i am white cis male and i have always treated it as a solo sport and use it as me time.

i was going at least once a week for years and going out of my way to find new courses but decided to punish myself for not having a job last year by not playing so it's been way too long.

Always wanted to make a thread for this but was too timid and thought it'd be embarrassing

I grew up in the Midwest where this shit was popular early on and used to drive past one as a kid, wondering what the weird baskets were (in a park notorious for potentially apocryphal "parking")

My friends played it at college and I thought it was the doofiest thing, but once we all graduated and moved back home they'd go play in the middle of the day before we all got jobs and moved away, such that it was clear I'd have to tag along if I wanted to hang out. Of course it was amazing and I got hooked. Bought a thousand discs and got decent at it.

Cut to a decade later and the economy crashing and I'd just lost my cushy publishing desk job and I found myself absolutely despondent and hopeless. Ran into an old weed dealer at the grocery store and dude could see how weary I was and forced me to do bong rips and ride my bike to the course with him. It was a epiphany of many types, realizing that I could actually enjoy life even without being anchored to a steady living.

I took it too far as I'm want to do, eventually riding to the course in the morning, playing 36 holes, riding home for lunch, then riding back to play 36 in the evening. I never got all that good but I got in insane shape and just the constant keeping myself busy made me not just free from depression but also completely detethered from the ratrace workaday existence. Ended up getting a job at a sweet bar through people I met there and all in all those two years seemed like a bonus college party life without the debt or obligation.

I look back and laugh because I could've, you know, worked toward something more lucrative or deeply fulfilling but goddamn if it wasn't some of the best times. I eventually stopped playing and had a kid and a more stable life but sometimes think about selling all my shit and going back to the disc bum life.

When we bought a house a few years ago it just so happened that one of the states best courses is basically in my backyard so I've tried to pick it up again. It's so fucking fun. And free. And man you definitely meet some interesting characters out there. If you're ever looking for weed in an unfamiliar area a disc golf course is not a bad place to look.

I should make a thread about that dealer, named Roy

We look almost identical and I would often get mistaken for him places. He got a job selling Subarus eventually using the same tactics he'd learned slanging buds, making tons of cash but still selling weed before it became legal and the market cratered. He bought a huge van with all his earnings and moved to Mt. Hood to be a skibum and eventually instructor. Fell in love with this ridiculously beautiful french woman who moved him to the French Riviera and now his Instagram pics are just landscapes of crazy beautiful markets and mountain peaks and his dogs.

Some youth pastor tried to get me into disc golf in high school and I was like "my dude you don't get it, I can't throw a frisbee" and he laughed it off like I was joking and handed me his "driver" disc or whatever and I launched that thing straight into the swamp bordering the fairway, never to be seen again.

I was bad at disc golf...it was mostly just an excuse to have somewhere to go to smoke weed in high school.

i use dgcoursereview but there might be some better resource i'm unaware of

you can pick up brand new 15$ discs at sporting goods stores or online but there's probably a place or two you can get used discs for free or close to it

Low cost entry point. Most areas have a course or two nearby. Nature. It's totally banging.
