I love playing disc golf. My friends and I play a more difficult variation of it though. Instead of throwing the Frisbee we hit it with a variety of specially shaped sticks and instead of a Frisbee we use golf balls. Other than that, it's exactly the same.
 
I've been playing for 20 years all over western Canada. I love it and have a private course we play all year round. Even in the snow.
 
I play a ton over the summer when I head stateside to visit family, but sadly I rarely get out during most of the year because there are no courses and very few open spaces to play a safari round in metropolitan China. There's also nobody to play with, and solo disc golf is like drinking alone - still fun, but not as fun as doing it with friends.

I did just pick up a new disc for the summer - an Yikun Jun driver. I bought a couple of their discs last year because they're the first China-based disc design company and I liked their Jun driver a lot for my arm, but over the course of 20-30 rounds over the summer my Jun beat in a bit too much and got a bit too flippy, so a brand new one in their premium plastic should get me through another summer or two while the old one can be used for some specialty shots.
 
Love discing, do it every chance I can get when I get time away from work and house work (AKA making beer). Try to hit some of the courses out of town on the weekends, but there's a course 3 blocks away from me that I play every other day. It's a small course, no holes over 170, so my goal for this summer is to ace every hole there. One down, eight to go.....
 
Sweet, I just saw this and am going to revive the thread. I too am a frolfer. First heard of the game 30 years ago. My buddy had a friend named mike, we called him a good wrench. That was a loving term in this small town, lived in a trailer outside the city and we would go there to play darts, hackey sack, and stuff like that. He was damn good at all. He was always up to some weird stuff. Building bongs out of watch cases and hobby pipe with pieces of a window blinds pull string. Anyways he played frolf and he took us to edora in fort Collins. I loved it. Ioved how we could play drinking beers, girlfriends and less talented people could play. It was awesome. I love how accessible it is. Always heard edora was a nice track and it is. Thanks for that course finder. Found it, and dillon lake, and jonny roberts in arvada.

Discs were cheap enough and we would play there throughout our youth. Edora was a big deal at time, olympic pool and rec center. We would go there to unsuccessfully meet girls and play dg. We had a course at my highschool that was just poles we would play. And i

would also play the csu campus course which is now gone. It was so cool. And they moved it behind the holiday inn dont know if its still there. And then my friends and i lived in the neighborhood across from edora park. So yeah we played it a lot. Ill share some stories later but great course.

Come out here and play in the mountains for example and you will see why you need a tomahawk. Its a critical throw. There was a hole at edora that was best played with a monster soaring tomahawk over the valley of trees rather than trying to thread the needle.

One of the funnest courses I played was in murfreesboro tn. It was carved right out of the trees. So cool and hard, but not like lake dillon near breck, those big pines suck up discs. Well happy frolfing, hope I get out soon. I have a friend who calls me, its like his peace time. I like being part of that.
