I have played ball golf for almost 40 years. Took it pretty seriously for a while. Never got really good, but got to the point that anything over 80 was disappointing and broke par for 9 holes several times.
Now after 2 years of playing disc golf I already enjoy it more. Ball golf got to the point that it was work and I am determined to not let disc golf turn into work. I like keeping it a feel sport. I am working on my technique a bit, but I do not want to get as tied up in technique as I did in ball golf.
I am playing my first tournament in February. I like competition. I like to score well. I want to improve. But I want to develop my own game. I want to learn about the physics of disc flight and understand the techniques to produce certain shots. But I do not want to get myself confused by too much mechanical thinking. I want to be a feel player. If that limits my scoring potential, so be it. Fun is priority #1, scoring is only an objective to the extent that it contributes to priority #1.
I like a lot about disc golf, but the number one thing I like about disc golf is the people. I have yet to meet a disc golfer I do not like. All very cool laid back people who are fun to be around. Great community!!
