Disc Golf

It was only in the mid 40s yesterday and the ground was wet, but that didn't stop us from FINALLY trying out our new toys by playing a round of disc golf.

From "Winter" 2010


From "Winter" 2010


We played at the Wells Branch course, an easy 9-hole course not too far from our house. There were quite a few other groups out playing, also. And, we weren't the only group to put discs into the creek (which was high & chilly, and went right through our shoes into our socks.... not fun).

In the course of the round, I learned two things:
  1. It's been a LOOONNNGGGG time since I've walked very far! But, I made it with only minimal pain.
  2. It's been even longer since I threw a disc (and that was an ultimate disc, which feels very different in your hand than a golf disc).
But, it was a lot of fun, and moderately good exercise (especially for me -- with all the walking & coordination required).

Any other disc golfers out there? There look to be a ton of great courses around Austin which we'll have to check out!

  • There's a mini-golf course around the corner from my house, but sadly I haven't gone since the girls were born. (I even have a "driver" disc and a "putter" disc in the trunk of my car.) Maybe I'll get back out this spring.

  • That's great! Perhaps the girls will be old enough to go with you one day soon. :)
