But, do you know how many frisbee golf courses there are in Arizona? There are 16. "Surely you jest!" says you. I speak the truth, that is all. And the truth is, I live on one of those golf courses. The frisbee kind, not the Tiger Woods kind.
Do not underestimate the seriousness of the frisbee course. My friends, today I gained an education on the importance of plaid shorts and wrist wraps. I live right next to one of those 16 courses and I don't know what in the world those guys out there at my little park do for a living. But they are out there, fighting the elements, sweating and walking and golfing. Imagine with me:
A park full of grown men carrying around backpacks full of frisbees. They go in groups of two to six or so. They are athletic and young. No, seriously, they are. Most of them anyway. They are tan, sportin' the sunglasses, well dressed, and they mean business. Well, as serious as a group of men yelling "ACE!!!" can be I guess. They are poised to make the throw. They have a "stance" and plenty of technique. They are professional frisbee golfers. And there are A LOT of them. Enough to have an association (The PDGA) and tournaments and vocabulary.
Words like mandos, preferred flight path, and over-stable. Believe it baby, then go get your frisbee. The pretty pink one.
"ACE!"

Yeah. The way of the disc. Dig it. Someday, we're all going to have to figure out how to talk food out of the ground again, and I guess these guys will be - well, like, maybe good seed casters. Or something. I wonder if they think they could trade the plaid shorts for eggs. Like, they must be some kind of investment in the future, wouldn't you think? Plumage, maybe. Come and get your productive male RIGHT HERE ladies!! Some day, I'll catch up with all the blogs . . .
oh, i miss you! keep catching up.....i love reading your comments!
I live on a golf course too! Oh my gosh we have so much in common!!! There are professionals on mine too. They have this tournament called the Serious Horiticulture Infamous Tournament. (Get it? My bad.......)
What they do is kick horse biscuits and see who can kick them the farthest and try to get them to roll into gopher holes.
Misty, We all understand now why you moved to Arizona. Law school??? Yeah, right. It was for the eye candy in the backyard!
Disc golf....that may be my new favorite. I've heard of it before, but never played. I love playing frisbee so it should be something I could handle.
