Gentlemen, ladies, tonight I will sleep happily.
Today marks quite a milestone for me.
I had always ranted and raved to my fiance about disc golf, she had always shown an interest, probably stemming from her history with ball golf. I always told her I was going to bring her, and she always said she was going to come with.
Today was the day.
It was about noon, a nippy 45-ish degree day, sunny, slight wind, we had the course to ourselves. I figured I'd bring her to a course that lacked thick woods or nasty obstacles that could have made the experience poor. I brought her to O'brian in woodridge. Honestly, not the greatest course, and there was goose **** EVERYWHERE, (IT IS NOVEMBER. THERE HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY SUB-FREEZING NIGHTS. WHY THE HELL ARE THEY STILL HERE!?)...No big deal, though, I ran her through the motions, gave her a few quick basic footing and grip tips.
First throw, up and up and up, normal for someone new. But damn, I never would've guessed she would catch on as fast as she did. Through those short 9 holes I had her attempting backhands, forehands, hammers, the works! A few putts she had were real slammers, made me sweat a little bit
She's already laid claim to a few of my discs that weren't my main loadout...
150g DX Aviar
150g DX Shark
172g Star Valkyrie
She's a small little monster, barely 5 foot, pretty skinny(~115lbs?), so, she doesn't have huge power, but kickboxing hasn't made her weak, so, I'm indifferent, should she be throwing these off the bat? I started with a valk and an aviar, but after learning the stats on these compared to whats out there I'm thinking that there might be better out there for her to get her footing.
Regardless, I've read some stories on here about significant others frowning upon the sport, rolling eyes, etc.
I consider myself blessed
She doesn't get upset about me going too much, but rather us not going enough!
