I have one but it's presently in storage. For the last couple of years, though, it lived in my trunk so I could set it up in various places. I've definitely eyed up a lot of the parks within a 10 mile radius of home to see what kind of shots I could practice at which ones! I'll be pulling it from storage and have it back in the car once my wife is done moving her office in 2 weeks.

There’s a few collapsible ones I’ve looked real hard at. But at the 80-100 mark they’re just expensive enough to keep them out of range for my dumb impulse shopping.

Yes, we live less than a mile from a little league field / park so we will take it down there in the late evening when everyone is gone and set it up at the end of the parking lot, which gives us enough distance to practice throws. We throw one way at the basket, then turn around and aim at the car. Which, tbh is probably not the best thing to aim at!

Decided to go back out today. This time at the nicer looking course about 25 minutes away from my place. Will report back.

Yeah, looks like the disc golf is on the same land as the golf course. We'll see how intertwined it is. The place I went near my in-laws had several holes criss-crossing the golf holes so you had to stay alert, but everyone was very respectful so it worked well.
This place I'm going today looks like a solid notch up. Longer holes too. Anyway, I kind of got the bug last week so I want to play again. Convinced my daughter to come along too. Got a tee time at 3pm local.

So really nice course, much harder than the other one I played near the in-laws last week. Beautiful day out and solid exercise going up and down those hills in the end.

My arm and shoulder generally held up, but damn my legs and glutes are so sore this morning. That course yesterday was a solid hike.

Played that little 9-hole pitch n’ putt on Saturday. Super fast course, but forgot how challenging a cross wind is. Unrelated, I also learned a valuable lesson about discs and concrete (they don’t like it).

Incidentally, I wanna go ahead and reaffirm the Innova Leopard for a fantastic beginner driver. My armspeed isn’t up quite enough to do the kind of damage I’d like to with a distance driver, but man that’s a nice disc to throw off the tee.

I'm friggin' AMPED for Worlds this week!
While I think it's going to be Buhr, Dickerson, or Isaac Robinson that ends up taking down the MPO title, I would really really love to see Matty O finally get his first big win on this, the biggest of stages.
Over in the FPO I think Tattar is pretty much a lock to double down on the crown, and I'm good with that, but I wouldn't be upset of Scoggins manages to ride the momentum from last weekend into an upset victory here.
DISC GOLF!!

Disc Golf Network will be streaming it live, and is a paid service.
Jomez Productions will have next day post-produced coverage of the MPO and FPO lead cards for free (with ads) on YouTube

So I’m thinking about signing up for a monthly disc sub because all of my hobbies involve round plastic things in the mail.

Unrelated I bought a spare Leopard last night. It was neon pink. I say “was” because I no sooner got the envelope open and heard an “OMG IT’S SO PINK” from across the room and now I guess my gf has a new fairway driver.

I'm just throwing mids and putters to get used to things, but my go-to's so far have ended being all pretty much pink. The only fairway driver in my bag is an Underworld (that one's blue), but a pink Leopard would go well with the set.

Funny how that works. I have a weird number of orange discs through no fault of my own.
