My wife and I live in Arizona. At the time I got started playing disc golf, we lived in Prescott area and had a condo in Scottsdale since I had to go into the Phoenix office part time, the rest was work from home. So I would leave home after dinner on Monday, stay in the condo, work in the office Tuesday, and drive back home. One day, we were both at the condo for a weekend and took a walk at Vista Del Camino in Scottsdale (Home of the Shelly Sharpe and Memorial). My wife asked what those metal baskets were for....I said "Frisbee golf, but no one really plays that anymore". This was Jan 2019. In my behalf, we rarely saw anyone playing the course. But then it happened, we walked the park on a Friday and the course was jam packed! Turned out it was the Shelly Sharpe tournament. Now being a ball golfer at the time, I knew to not disturb players when they are throwing. But there was a group waiting on a tee pad for the fairway to get clear. So I started a conversation with them and found it was the Shelly Sharpe tourney and one player suggested I go to Spinners On the Green (host of the two tournaments) and get a used putter and midrange (I wish he had suggested a starter pack, but can't go back in time). I did that and found there was a course in Prescott (Watson Lake Disc Golf Course). Went up there and ended up meeting the folks from the Prescott Disc Golf Club and joined them. Been hooked since.
If it weren't for just happening to take a walk the day of that tournament, I may never have realized how huge the sport is and may still be playing ball golf.
