do any of you guys play.. its a really really fun sport if your unfamiliar with it
the rules are just like golf. and the course is just like a golf course. except instead of shooting into a hole. its a basket

and instead of using clubs and balls. you use. disc golf frisbees

the sport is a great way to get outdoors. and its really fun once you start getting good at it.
just wondering how many of you guys play. and if you do. you should post pics of your local courses

this is the course i played yesterday. frances e walter dam... its a nice course. but not nearly as nice as the other course in the area
the picture above is the drive into the course. usually im taking a few hits off the bowl when we are driving past that photo
this is a photo of hole 2 at frances e walter dam.. the box is where u shoot from. and up and around the trees to the left is where the hole is

i lost one of my discs on that hole yesterday. i was pissed. luckily i found a new one while looking for the one i lost
the other park nearby we have a disc golf course at is called hickory run.. the course is just beautiful. and its great cause their are trails everywhere. so you can just pop off and smoke a nice pipe at a waterfall like this

anyway. i highly recommend you guys who dont play disc golf. start
edit*

heres a great intro video
these guys are playing at my favorite course

Looks kinda fun, but I'd rather play regular golf.

regular golf is fun as well
but you have to pay to play regular golf
disc golf is free.
that is a plus.
YESSS! i had no idea anyone else played! i picked this up like 2 years ago, and it is a blast
my buddies and i get out and play at least once a week

yep. that sounds just like me. we play once or more a week depending on how much i am working
great to hear that you play. u should post some pics of your courses
I've tried this couple of times, was fun indeed.
There's only one course in my town but apparently they are building (/have built?) another course this summer.
yeah we're kind of lucky here, there are 3 courses within about 10 minutes of my place, and then some other real good ones out near where i went to college
i've been doing a lot of traveling to check out some courses that pennsylvania has to offer. there are some awesome ones
i used to play this alot with my dealer,found it strange at first but a fun sport
