Whatever happened to my Rock N Roll?
Come in, she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm
disk golf is fun and cheap. regular golf is expensive and elitist... although that is changing... just to annoy the old duffers i like to leave big shoe prints and draw funny things in the sand pit... i once crashed into some guys cart. my cart the front right tire bent in causing me to bail the course in a hurry... i lived near by so i just hopped over a neighbors fence and scurried home in a hurry.
yes but it was the cheap college course and i had a free coupon for the cart. as a matter of fact it was the only time i used a cart. and i'm much more then a tad lazy... i'm full on lazy. after i rest i usually need to take a nap to recover from resting.
There is this married couple playing golf. As the man tees off something distracts him and he slices way right, over into the front yard of a house sitting beside the course. Well after his wife finishes teeing off they go to find his golf ball. When they reach the ball his wife suggests he take a drop shot. Noticing that that the windows in the house were opens he lloks through the house and he can see exactly were he needs to send the ball down the fairway. He looks to his wife and says, " I think I can make it through the windows and out the other side of the house and avoid having to make a drop shot. She says, "No I thin you should just take the penalty." He replies back, "I can do this". So he lines up aiming through the windows down the fairway and swings. The ball slings forward toward the opening, but goes slightly low and ricocheted back and hits his wife in the temple killing her instantly.
3 years later...
That same man and his new girlfriend are out playing golf when something distracts him and he knocks his ball in front of the same house. The windows of this house are open again, so his girlfriend suggests he try to hit it through the open windows of the house. The man immediatly responds with a strong, "No", he says, "something bad happened the last time I tryed that." His girlfriend filled with curiosity questions, "What happened?" He sadly responds, "I made a triple bogie."

I disagree. There are plenty of ways to have a good time on the disc golf course. Most of the places I disc golf you couldn't drive a golf cart because of the rugged terrain. Also, there are less crowds and less waiting for your turn on a hole. Sitting around waiting in a little golf cart sounds boring to me.
i tend to agree with you tired hiker... golf is on a mowed course and its full of crabby old men, while disk golf is usually canopied by trees and it in the shade and if you actually stumble upon fellow disk golfers you can usually take a time out for a burn session. i think the thing i dislike the most about golf is the people that play a lot take it way too serious... but whatever i do have some respect for the difficulty of the game.

Yes, I don't dislike regular golf, I just don't jive with most people who play it. It's like anything new or different to them is a threat so they have to talk down to it or make fun of it. Regular golfers are way too serious, not all of them, just in general. I loved in Jackass the movie when they would sound the bull horn right as people tee'd off, scaring them and making them screw up. They'd get all pissed an throw their golf clubs at Johnny Knocksville and his cohort. That was laughs! A disc golfer would have been like, "That bull horn is pretty funny man. Wanna smoke a bowl?" Fort Ord in Marina, California has the best burn session spots. The disc golf course is surrounded by abandoned bunkers from when the base was active. Some of the bunkers are unlocked and you can sit in them and do your thing.
amen... you sound like some of the disk golfers i meet when i play. here in florida we have lots of rain forest like jungle/swamps with a good canopy of trees and they are in the middle of nowhere... so we just do our "thing" while playing. as homer would say "woo hoo"
