Rich is visiting this weekend and we wanted to find some fun, active things to do with him... so, we went Frisbee golfing today. We've played before - you just search around in your closet until you find an old Frisbee, dust it off, and walk outside. Then you pick an object within eyesight and state that it's going to be the first hole... a fire hydrant, a tree, whatever. Eighteen holes later you're done.
Things are different here. There are two, count'em TWO, professional Frisbee golf courses here. The "holes" look like this:
Each course winds it's way through the trees, around water traps, over hills and valleys, around clumps of trees. The course was really pretty.
Before starting, we drove over to Wal-Mart to buy a couple of Frisbees. We were SHOCKED when we saw the display. There are more than fifty kinds: drivers, putters, mid-range faders, experimental driver faders, an all-around disc. And they all looked different than a normal Frisbee. They were heavier and flatter. Of course, they cost more than a regular Frisbee. We were planning on buying a couple of cheap Frisbees and ended up spending $70.00 on discs.
That's okay, we're planning on being here for a long time and when you come to visit us you can play too!
