Whats the longest you've been unable to play?

[freakinwizzz]

I've been out for almost 2 months now and i'm going insane due to what i think is a pulled back muscle. i've been to a doctor and physical therapy and i'm still not 100%...just curious how long other people have been out of the game

I have been living in the armpit of disc golf territory in Illinois. Since July, unless I want to drive at least 45 minutes, all I can do is putting practice and field work. So, I know your pain. Not being able to get off work and go play a round sucks so much!

I think these past 3 weeks were the longest I've gone since I began last May. I finally got out to the course yesterday, and had my best round ever.

I think in the two years I've played I haven't taken more than a week off. Most I've played consecutively was about 3 weeks in a row with around 30 rounds in that time span.

I'll go a week or two regularly...

If I go a week without playing I feel like my soul is dying...

I'm with the O.P......I've been disabled for 6 weeks, and will be for a least a month more, and it's driving me nuts. I have gone out and putted a bit on 1 leg a couple of times.

For several reasons, even when I can't play I can't get away from disc golf, which makes it all the worse.

In 2004 I had shoulder surgery. I didn't pick up a disc for 5 months, and was functionally down for several more. When I came back, I was much more tolerant of bad play, because bad play beats no play at all.

I had to go a few days recently due to back pain. In the 7 years i've been playing i can't recall ever takin more than 5-6 off. Addict!

At least you can use that time to catch up on writing reviews.

I'm at 3 months right now due to a car accedent. And it is driving me insane!!!!

 

[Titanic_Sinks]

I've missed big chunks of time, sometimes as much as 8 months. Lately, it's been due to moving where there isn't any disc golf scene, but previously it's been for blowing out my knee. I've done that a couple of times, although it's always been doing something OTHER than disc golf. It always starts a long road to recovery.

Tendinitis in my throwing shoulder had me out for two months in 2011. I didn't throw at all for a month and took a month working my way back up to playing strength so as not to make it worse.

My form was somewhat improved after the comeback... otherwise, it stunk!!!

 

[UncleSweat]

Didn't play at all last winter. 3 months.

 

[Thomas437]

Longest this year has been a week, I live right between two courses so coming up with an excuse to go throw a few holes is pretty easy.

 

[StoneWallKid]

I lived on Oahu for a year. It was 3 months before I figured out there was a league that plays once a month at a temp course. So 3 months, then once a month for the remainder of the year unless (god forbid) something came up and I had to miss a month.

 

[mashnut]

I've had several 2-4 week forced breaks, but nothing longer than that in the last 5 years.

 

[Old Bassman]

After a groin muscle injury I did not play at all for 2-3 weeks after that I would drive for 2-3 holes and then play from my friends drives.

My worst time not playing was with the death of a lifelong friend. Between hospital time and funeral and greiving; 2 weeks of not playing.

Just lost another lifrelong friend.

Play disc golf!

I just moved back to Texas after a 2 year stint in western Arkansas. No courses within 60 miles, I might have played 2 rounds in those 2 years.

On the plus side, I've forgotton some of my bad habits and I feel I have been able to start over with a little better form than I had before. Its also exciting sifting through all the plastic releases I've missed.

I had vertigo in August and September and early this month. Put me out of doing anything for the whole time. I nearly went insane. First thing I tried to do was DG, and I was still woosy and probably shouldn't have been there, but I was in need of getting out of my house.

I am working on it. I'll get to you eventually. It's like a top 110 count down, I'm getting started on number 100.
