Sam and I played “disc golf” yesterday. For those of you who are not up on the latest sports, disc golf is like regular golf except you throw a Frisbee to a basket instead of hitting a golf ball to a hole. It’s fun, cheap, and good exercise. (I know of no disc golf course where you ride\u00a0your lazy butt around in a cart.)\u00a0<\/p>\n
The course we played yesterday was in the woods. There were little cleared paths along the route. I guess if you could throw really straight, you would be fine.\u00a0 Sam and I\u00a0are pretty new at it so we spent a lot of time in the weeds, mostly after bouncing the disc off a tree.\u00a0\u00a0We had fun anyway. \u00a0Whenever we would hit a tree, we would just pick up the disc and throw it again.\u00a0 We went through all 18\u00a0baskets\u00a0that way.<\/p>\n
When we left, the trees along the course had quite a few more dents than when we started.\u00a0\u00a0Our discs are now sporting a few more nicks, chips and scratches too.\u00a0 It’s all just part of the game.\u00a0 With determination, perseverance, and a good attitude, we made it\u00a0to every basket, finished the course, and went home happy.<\/p>\n
That was Sunday afternoon.\u00a0 Today is Monday, and it still feels like I am spending\u00a0a lot of time bouncing off trees\u00a0. . .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
