Disc Golf is a great sport for all ages. It has effectively no barrier to entry and is good exercise to boot - it's more or less hiking with a game sprinkled in. Here's hoping it continues to amass what seems to be growing popularity.

I started playing during the pandemic and now I'm hooked. It's more fun than playing real golf, and I used to do a lot of that.

Lots cheaper, too. :)

Depends how many discs you lose, including the ones you threw in a tree to knock another one loose XD

If you aren't losing discs, you aren't playing enough.

I glued a small buzzer, battery and switch to my disc in the beginning to help track it down.

The Doppler effect was pretty sweet when you let it fly :)

I've often thought about how one could rig up such a thing with either lights or sound, but without sacrificing the pretty carefully designed aerodynamic profile of the discs. Not sure how it'd be possible without molding it into the disc itself... :)

Disc golf tourism great as well. Very easy to throw a putter a middie and a drive in a suitcase and try a new course in a new town.
