This is great and all but I just don't see the attraction in disc golf, let alone spend $200 for a disc. Buy a set of golf clubs and let's go golfing for real!

I can play a round of discgolf for nothing.
A normal disc costs $10-$15.
So for under $50 I can have all the equipment I need and can go to pretty much any course and play...FOREVER.

That's a pretty small investment for years of enjoyment! I usually just ask clients to golf so that it's free as well. However, it can be costly at $40-$60 per round of 18.
I get the idea of throwing the disc and trying to par a hole. How do you 'putt' or finish the hole? Is the hole enlarged?

Have you ever tossed a real disc? The feeling is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> swinging a golf club
And no one here is paying $200 for this (at least I hope not!!)

No hole at all.
There is a basket with chains you are trying to get the disc into.
There are multiple kinds of discs that all do different things.
The most simple breakdown is Driver, mid-range, and putter.
(Top to bottom, Putter, Mid-range, driver)
But each of these categories has it's own set of discs.
Some are "over stable" some are "under stable". This affects which way the discs want to fly through the air naturally (hook to the left or right).
People also have different throwing styles. Forehand, backhand, tomahawk, roller, etc.
That's the other cool thing about discin'...Anybody can play!

I'm intrigued! Sounds like it can be a bunch of fun. Thanks for the explanation! I won't give up my regular golf game but I will be looking at trying some disc golf in the future.
I was a disc golfer before I became of ball golfer. Love 'em both. Gotta say though...Disc golfers, as a whole, are a lot friendlier, approachable and down right cooler than regular golfers. Most disc golf courses that I play have a "Green Mandi" hole and most regular golf courses do not.
Cheers and Happy 4/20!!

What's a Green Mandi
There's a disc golf course in Port Washington, WI that has a table in the woods... in this table, someone carved a pipe into it, so you can smoke out of the table... pretty cool!

On some disc golf courses, there is an obstacle called a "mandatory", a tree or telephone role etc that you must go around on the proper side. A Green Mandi is a hole where you must take a hit of weed BEFORE your tee shot. Most often, if you didn't happen to have any or a tool to burn it in, others would help you out. just one of the great things I love about disc golf.

Pizza box is what they shipped in. I am not kidding. Came home tonight and my wife asked how I ordered pizza cross country.
I hope it makes it past my office mailroom okay. They might send it to the cafeteria instead and the poor disc is going to end up being used as a plate :fp:

You just needed to resize the image .
The Pearl Jam display box or the Pizza box?
Pizza box is what they shipped in.
I hope it makes it past my office mailroom okay. They might send it to the cafeteria instead and the poor disc is going to end up being used as a plate :fp:
Everyone else's pics are better than mine so I'm not gonna post mine. I like this art on a disc! Maybe next time on an Ultimate disc?
