Frisbee Golf Followup
Just wanted to say something that you probably already knew… I rock.
I’ve now played Frisbee/Disc golf at 3 of the 5 active courses in Las Vegas. Looks like the first course that I learned to play the game on, Red Ridge Park, is actually one of the nicest courses around. All the fairways are beautifully outlined by gravel barriers. All tees (starting point for each hole) have concrete slabs from which to launch your frisbee, and there are well illustrated maps at each hole showing the birds eye view and par for the hole. Three times now I have driven 20 minutes across the city just to play at that park because it’s a whole lot nicer than the other two which are 5 and 10 minutes from where I’ve been staying. It’s worth it for such a nice course.
But back to why I rock… I’ve noticed that my average is about 2-4 points under par for the 9 holes. That means I’m throwing my discs farther than average, and I’m putting with accuracy at the baskets. I can also see clear rough spots in the grass where people tend to pick up their frisbee after each throw as they progress down the fairway, and my discs typically land 15-30 feet past these rough spots — indicating that I throw my discs fly farther than the average player. And I’m not even using a specialty distance disc, just the one that comes in a 3-disc starter kit. That’s a nice feeling.
