Curious if any of you degenerates play disc golf? I’m pretty new to it. But super addictive so far.
Only been playing for a few weeks… But so far. Been a good time
I have been improving… But it aint easy. Just glad it’s cheap, tons of walking and lots of sun! 
This is just your way of finding out who you can buy pot from, right?
There’s a nice course near me, but I’ve never once seen anyone on it.
Disc golf was pre-iPhone era
They still use walkmans and beta tapes in Canada. So this is very unsurprising to me.
I play all the time. Its a great way to get outside for long walks while playing sports that are technical.
I help run the MI amateur states tournament.
Each year I give out 100+ discs to kids at the local elementary school and I built kids tees at the best local course.
I started playing during covid and it stuck. A lot of people played because everything else was cancelled and then stopped. But I love it.
Also - MI has many of the best courses in the country. One north of Muskegon in Shelby is called Flip City. Was top 10 in the USA for a long time.
you got me curious.
hard to believe that it was only 18 years ago (2007) for the first iPhone.
Disc golf actually got going in 1976, thirty years before that.
I vivdly remember my son showing me what he was doing on an iPhone, in about 2008 or 9, camera- gps, etc. I thought he was a genius. I was still on Nokia’s and Qualcomm’s.
I absolutely LOVE disc golf. My friends aren’t much of golfers, but we can all get out and disc golf. Here are the reasons I love it:
It is seriously the best thing if you can start playing and find some friends to play with that you can compete against. When I am stressed at work or with family stuff, chucking a hunk of plastic through the woods can really do the trick to help me feel better. If you have never tried it, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Download the Udisc app and find a course near you. Go to a play it again sports and buy some cheap used discs, or (my preferred method) go to a course that has some ponds in play and go fishing for lost discs in those ponds.
Good stuff brother! Been really enjoying it.
Where have you been playing? Are you a metro detroiter or out of towner?
In northern Ontario! Come October this will be me. 
I have never played… but the people I knew who played it were definitely addicted to something…. 
Nature and exercise!
Oh and lots and lots of weed man!
I play real golf but never seriously. I play to hang out with friends, drink beer, and trash talk. I enjoy it. I’ve played in a couple of hoity-toity charity events through work. The last time my caddy was caddying for me after caddying for Peyton Manning, or so he said. I consoled him on the downgrade. He was a funny guy though. Good sport about shagging my shanks.
I don’t mind actual golf. But the dress code and prices to golf are outrageous. I can play disk golf naked rocking a mullet! Plus I hit the Wendy’s drive thru on the way home for the Joe Cullen special! 
I’ve never tried disc golf. I never really cared for frisbees though. Except throwing to my dogs over the years. That’s always fun. Dogs are fast.
Any tips for a backhand that slices a ton on drives? My distance aint bad. But slices like crazy to the left especially on long throws. I’m sure it’s technique related. Shorter throws got a lot more control and accuracy.
Really enjoying it though… Even got a couple birdies yesterday. And of course multiple bogeys.
Quit throwing it like Lamar…
That is either an angle issue or your disc is too overstable.
Angle - you need to throw the disc flat. That takes time and technique. Start throwing with less power and really focus on flat because the disc is a wing and if you tilt the wing it goes that way.
Disc selection. Discs can be very overstable - they go left hard on a right handed backhand. Or discs can be understable which means you can actually get a right hand backward to turn right throughout the flight. That is called turn or flip.
So you need a disc that has a negative number for turn.
Some discs will be -1, -2 -3 or even -4 for turn. The more negative, the less it wants to go left on a right hand backward and the more it will “flip over” and go right instead. Downside is they are finnicky in the wind and will flip all the way over and become a roller.
So get a disc that is very understable and that will keep it flying in the air much longer. As you gain power and technique those discs will become too understable for you and then you go try discs with less turn. But at the beginning, you want easy to throw discs.
Light weight, high turn.
Thx a lot brother. I appreciate the feedback. I think I just throw too hard. Cause with less speed my accuracy is much better. But those long par 3’s and 4’s are my nemimsus 
I only have 2 discs though… Perhaps I need to upgrade? Both weigh 173 grams. I have even played with Ultimate frisbees but that was so difficult in the wind. Still fun though.
I’m not looking to buy a bunch of discs…but if you bought 3 or 4 what would they be and why? I don’t really understand your -1 and - 2 points. Probably why I still suck. Lol
@Kool-aidCornbread including you too cause you might help
