Anyone ever not have anyone else to play with?

We are only 6 people in my town who play, and we only have a practice field, no course.

I practice alone alot.
 
Yea I kno how that is..I hardly ever have anyone with me unless my girlfriend wants to with me sometimes..
 
I've never played with anybody . . . . ever :-( All my friends act old (which they are if that think they are).

So I play normally in the mornings and meet up with others on the course at times but they are normally looking for their disc. I ALWAYS help look (I normally find them . . .fresh eyes).

I don't mind but I miss learning from others! It's tough when you are 30 years older then most players. For one thing they always think I must be good (since what old guy in his right mind would take up this sport late in life).
 
I wanted to chime in to say that I miss the days when I used to be able to get up early and throw by myself. I have the opposite issue. I only get to play once a week these days and although I love my discin buds, sometimes I wish they'd bail so I could enjoy the game alone. This may sound strange and I'm sure I'd wish I had folks to shoot with if I didn't have em. The grass is always greener I guess..

I think that makes sense. It's not an issue for me because I get a good bit of playing with others and by myself. Sometimes it's just nice to have the peace and solitude of disc golfing by yourself (for me at least).

I moved to Azerbaijan 6 months ago. No course anywhere near me. I found an old gravel pit that at some point may have resembled a field. 2-3 times a week I make a point of getting out to throw some plastic so I don't completely forget how to throw. It is always me and ONLY me.

I am working on getting a course installed and spreading the enjoyment of this game to people who have never seen a disc / Frisbee. Things take time here. Trying to explain the sport is more difficult than I would have ever imagined. On the plus side though, I am close to Europe and get to play some courses when I travel that I would not have ever had the chance to do.

Being in the SOLO mindset, I have tried to focus on some aspects of the game that can help me in the long run. My driving form and putting practice.

Solo or not. When I get some plastic in the air and it starts to ride the wind, I get a great feeling out of it. It's still enjoyable. :)

What takes you to Azerbaijan? Work?
 
I play alone now for the most part. I don't mind it.. Big groups slow you down.. Especially when you have a busy life.
