any of you guys into Disc Golf?

I've always loved to play regular Frisbee and hacky sac. I consider myself a pretty good thrower and have some neat trick catches.
My buddy introduced me to disc golf and it took 1 round to realize it's a completely different game and I have a long way to go.
I've been playing once a week for around 6 months and starting to learn the ins and outs.

anybody here play regularly?

My Brother plays and is very involved with the Sport, He's got a huge collection of rare Discs. He's also probably in a small group who plays and doesn't smoke weed ha ha.

I call it Weed Golf or Stoner Golf. puff puff pass.

How does one admit to enjoying one of those three things without outing themselves as a pot smoker?

haha, I don't smoke weed (anymore). But the stereotype fits. Every other time we play you can get a whiff of weed. Most guys don't even hide the fact they're smoking up.
We joke around about us being seasoned triathletes, and watch dudes who do bong hits for a living, 135lbs, just rip discs twice as far as we do. 2 weeks ago we got the red eye, cracking voice "you dudes can play on through, we're going to sit on the bench and have a little smoke first".
All that aside, it's fun and a great break from work and training. Nice to get out of the house in colder months.

I played it for a bit in college, but like golf, it went a bit to slow for me.

LOL, exactly what I was thinking! When I played Frisbee golf that's all it was; beer & weed. Although now that I'm a real golf addict all it is beer & cigars.

I played a few times while in school at Gainesville. It's a stinky game but quite fun actually. I play a lot of real golf these days for half the year and didn't know if frisby golf still existed.

I've played golf since forever. We started playing disc golf too to bring our group of friends together because everyone didn't play golf. Haven't played in several years. Good thing is you can be a pretty large group and also use the foursome format of golf. Brings the stakes up.

It was 35 degrees yesterday and the course was packed. We played 36 holes in about 3.5 hours. No beer, no weed. My core is a little tender today.

Ive been playing for about a decade now. Up until Christmas this year I have only had one disc. Santa brought me eight new discs and a bag for Christmas. Can't wait for the weather to warm up and the snow to melt!
