Why I Play


I play because each round feels like the first round I ever played..

I play because it makes me feel young..

I play because "one more hole" often turns into another eighteen..

I play for every fan I have, and every fan I wish I had..

I play because someone was kind enough to build this course for me..

I play because that *someone* was a lot more people than you might think..

I play because I love the competition, even if only with myself..

I play because my discing family and my real family are one and the same..

I play for those that aren't able to, and because someday I'll join them..

I play because there's nothing more beautiful than a disc flying the way I meant it to..

I play because nothing else in the world matters when I play..

I play because there's nothing I'd rather do, and nowhere else I'd rather be.

For fun and to enjoy a day outside in the hopefully peace and quiet of a park.

I play because I love mosquitoes and losing $20 bills in water holes.

Thanks Bob!

The "alternate" why-I-play's are good, too. Keep those coming..

I play because it's cheap and requires less time than softball and powerlifting, and my job doesn't give me much time for any sort of leisure.

I play because I have 200 discs that need to be used.

Haha! Similarly, the line:

..there's nothing more beautiful than a disc flying..

was once:

I play because these baskets don't ace themselves.


It didn't really fit in with the tone of the rest of the writing / line length / flow / etc.

I play because I love going to a place where nobody bothers me.
