July 31st, 2009 Disc Golf

I first played disc golf back around 1982. I have since played it far less than I play regular golf which is pretty infrequent. A few days ago I found myself out at Bryant Lake Regional Park a very nice 18 ‘hole’ course. We only had a chance to play 12?? or so before the sunset and it became readily apparent we would begin to lose disc’s. The next day I hit the 18 hole course at the Hyland Park Ski Area in Bloomington (conveniently located just a mile from work with a nice cafeteria that is open year round). This evening my throwing arm is pretty sore, the throw is far from perfect. After dinner I found myself browsing used discs at play it again sports in Burnsville. I picked up a Innova Tee-Bird and a Discraft Buzz for $8 each. Moir Park is conveniently located about a mile away however my 106th Street bridge is currently closed I have to take the long way around (as well as to get to my favorite parking lot on the 106th street bridge to access Central Park). So I am sitting here watching the line of non severe weather approach the cities from the West pondering setting up a few targets in my yard and placement.

I could put up 4 or so with two fairly long shots, well it still needs some work. I play about as well as I do golf… I enjoy it but, you probably wouldn’t want to play with me, drive by my house, park in my driveway, or be my neighbor.
