We’ve seen a parkour on our way to town, so bought a discs set, stopped and played on the way home. Honestly, it’s 50/50 if it’s real dull or not. But, I’m keeping the disks!

(Though I’m not gonna become like the guy behind us. He carried a suitcase full of them, vertically stacked in foam slots. While each time the process of picking a disc looked like open heart surgery, and picking the right one was a matter of life or death with zero margin)

    I play with a friend who has played for decades while I have barely played for a year. The fun is that like regular golf where most of the distance is a drive amd walking, and the putting is the only real pressure part. I trimmed down to three discs because I’m still not very consconsistent.

    But we play for the exercise so it definitely falls in the dull umbrella. There is also a league where they do practice a lot and make some amazing shots where the exact disc does matter.

      Its a good sport to have access to on road trips or when traveling. Three disks pack down pretty small and courses are usually much more interesting than a ball golf course would be and a hell of a lot cheaper. Usually in parks or other natural places.

          I hate to be “that guy” but a Frisbee and a gold golf disc are similar, but very different things.

          I wouldn’t play Frisbee with a golf disc except maybe a floppy putter. Even then, discs require being snapped and thrown harder than a Frisbee, so speeds are higher and they have a different flight pattern.
