Disc golf

New to the sport and I absolutely love it. My dad got me into it but he can’t play as long as me and none of my friends play. I’m going to keep trying to ask around but I’m tempted to play some rounds by myself

I’ve never played disc golf, but most every day I skate at a skate park surrounded by a disc golf course. So while I’m skating, I see all the disc golf bros out there, and I’ve learned so much just from watching y’all. So much I didn’t know. Different discs? Whoa, but also, like, duh, once I thought about it? Little rolling disc golf bags? That must be overkill, no wait, it makes perfect sense. Love the unofficial unspoken disc golf bro uniform of t-shirt, khaki shorts, bucket hat. It’s hot af down here in the Deep South, but y’all still come out & sweat it up to do something you love. I feel that. Disc golf bros just chilling while doing something they enjoy that involves way more precision than I initially thought. A little Bluetooth speaker, a drink, maybe a smoke. When there’s a big tournament, I love how y’all show up with homemade custom carts & stuff, total enthusiastic nerdout. It’s so cool how y’all account for all the obstacles and wind and directional changes when making your … uh, shots? throws? Idk. Kinda makes me itch to try it when the weather is cool. Anyway, gonna go get my skate on, and I know I’ll see some of y’all out there. Keep it up, disc golf bros. Y’all got some silent cheerleaders out here.

My best friend, and frequent course buddy, passed this morning.

If you hit the course this weekend, throw a bomb for Calvin...the less accurate, the better.

Also...Fuck cancer.

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who expressed their condolences. I spent the day at my friends house helping his wife host as friends dropped by. She heard my phone notifications and I told her about this post. Throughout the day, every new notification turned into a chorus of FUCK CANCER. I know she had such an incredibly hard day, but you all helped her find a bright side.

I think we all deserve to flex a little bit if we've achieved something cool in disc golf, or have an awesome disc golf related story that only us folks will understand.

I've noticed lately that I can throw a slightly under stable disc 300+ feet standstill. And I don't think many people I know would be impressed but I think it's a pretty solid feat.

So with that said what's your disc golf humble brag story?
