From Glen: Disc Golf on Sunday

Check out the video!

Donna, Annie, Jarrett, and I decided to hit the links this past Sunday for a rousing game of disc golf. "Disc golf?" you say. Why yes - disc golf. Donna and I have been playing this off and on for the past year or two, neither of us are really that good. It's just an excuse to get out and walk around over at Winged Deer Park and spend some time outside.

It's a pretty simple game, basically golf with frisbees. The goal is to get the disc into the basket within a set number of throws (normally 3 - 4). The course at Winged Deer is in the woods so there are natural hazards (trees, briars, rocks, trees, squirrels, sink holes, trees) that you want to avoid. As you can tell from the collage of Annie and Jarrett - some people are less successful at this sort of thing. At least we got to appreciate the beautiful foilage as we played; sometimes we got to appreciate it from really up close too.

Also, as you can tell from the video, this game requires concentration, skill, finesse, and grace. Each of us worked our magic with the frisbees, hoping that each throw was as good as the last. Well, as can be expected, after nine holes of intense competition, battles of mind and will, strategy and disinformation, the blistering contest resolved into its inevitable conclusion - I kicked ass. Final score: Glen - 33, Jarrett - 37, Annie - 60, Donna - 71.

I rule.
