My brother-in-law and I have been playing some serious frisbee golf this year. We try to make it to the courses in the area as often as we can. Frisbee also known as disc golf, is a great game that is inexpensive and a lot of fun. Anyone in any age group can enjoy this sport that is rapidly growing in popularity.
Lately mine and Lonnie's (brother-in-law) better halves have been complaining because we play too much. We try to come up with sneaky ways to get them to go with us, but it rarely works. We have tried the "Let's take Charlie to the park" scheme. It worked pretty well the first time, but has not been a great success recently. Our tactic yesterday was the "lets get snow cones and go to the park". That was a fail.
We decided to respect the wishes of our women and spent most of the day with them and our family. Lonnie and I had a major itch to throw frisbees so we went into the back yard to practice our throwing techniques. Lonnie launched a disc that landed behind the shed. While I was retrieveing the disc I discovered several small poles that would be great for targets to aim at. We set up one pole and took a few shots at it when the greatest idea in history came to us!
We decided to setup a full disc golf course in the back yard. We started with three holes and after adding a few tiki torches to the mix, we ended up with a full 9 hole course. Brilliant! We can spend time with our women and play some intermittent disc golf all in the same place. The course is much shorter and less difficult than a regulation course however, the pool and several large trees add a few hazards that we have to avoid. The women were very excited that we had come up with a solution to their problem. Atleast they acted like they were excited and happy that we had thought about their "feelings".
Lonnie and I were discing it up for several hours in the back yard last night. We almost made it through hole 7 when I had to put Charlie to bed. No problem. The convenience of our new course allowed us to be available for requests that we were summonsed for. We didn't have to carry a cooler for drinks, we didn't have worry about our shoes getting sticky in a run down porta potty and in a few days if we get hot we can jump in the pool. It is going to be a great summer.
Will someone please remind me to pull the poles out of the yard before my father-in-law mows? He may not be happy when he sees what we created in his backyard. Don't tell him that we ordered flood lights.
