Frisbee golf is a favorite pass time around here. Not only is it incredibly easy and fun, but it's great exercise too. Our good friend FennFenn got us hooked three summers ago...and we're still going strong. E is extremely good, his longest throw to date is about 200 yards.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Frisbee golf, here are some basics:
1) In Frisbee golf, you use Frisbee golf "discs," not Frisbees. Believe me, there's a huge difference! There are lots of different discs to choose from...varying styles, weights, purposes, etc. There is also a "putter" disc that is to be used when close to the wicket.
2) The Wicket (or Basket or Hole) is where you aim to throw your disc. Landing in the wicket = completion of that particular hole or round.
3) Each hole has par. E is notorious for getting par or one throw under par. (Yeah, he's good!)
4) There are specific paths you are to follow when throwing your disc (mostly around trees, etc.) in order to remain "qualified" for a round. This is often easier said than done.
5) The Tee (or launching pad or pad or cement thingy) is where you stand for the first throw of each round. There is a red foul zone on the tip of each tee. (E is practicing his putt, but you can see the tee at his feet.)
6) Pretty much anything goes by way of how you choose to throw your disc. The more creative your throw, the better (or at least MORE ENTERTAINING)!
We keep our discs in The Jeep, always ready, always prepared. So, if ever you're in town and want to play a round of our beloved Frisbee Golf, all you need do is ask! :)

YEAH! Frisbee golf is awesome. I used to play a lot of Frisbee golf and Ultimate (sorta like football played with a Frisbee) back in the 80's and early 90's. I have nothing left but good memories and one 185-gram Frisbee. Good times!
Frisbee Golf Fun, huhuhuhuhuuh.

Thanks for letting us play frisbee golf with you, even though we certainly didn't present any kind of 'threat'! We lived it!
