Anybody here play? I'm just getting into it and it's quite a bit of fun. Not only that, but I found out you can dye your own discs with Rit Dye! I have a few ok discs but just finished my favorite tonight.

Hell yeah, man, I try to play every single day during the summer. It's a great sport and a great time.

I haven't played since I was a kid, but I loved it back then. I've finally got my 6 year-old throwing a frisbee straight, it's time to find a course near me.

That's kind of personal
Never heard of this game....how do you play?

It's a lot like golf but with shorter and in most cases more wooded holes. The discs vary so you get different distances and curves out of them and you try to get them in the basket just like you would try to hit a golf ball into a hole. If golf is a walk through a field which has you stopping to hit a ball every so often, then disc golf is a hike through the woods that has you tossing a frisbee. Here's a basket....

Disc golf is one of the modules for the mixed group in Physical Education at my school, but I'm in the boys group so I don't do it. Always fancied giving it a try though.

I've never seen anyone outside of Canada talk about Ultimate. That's one of the reasons I miss highschool. My sisters on the team this year though so I can watch them play. Great game

I used to play Ultimate on the Mall in D.C. between the Capitol and the Washington Monument every Sunday... great fun game, usually followed by copious beer drinking
