My favorite thing about this Disc Golf course is how wide open it is. While there is the occasional tree, there are few pricker bushes or streams to avoid. Since I’m still a disc golf novice this made it much funner for me since I didn’t spend any time trying to find my disc in the kudzu or pricker bush after. I found that each hole was laid out very well and it was easy to find where you’re going next. Some other courses I’ve played required me to constantly look at a map. This course had arrows that pointed you in the direction of the next tee.

All in all it was a very productive way to spend an hour and a half. There were picnic benches so I could bring some lunch. I did get in some excerciese today so a day playing Disc Golf is certainly better than a day in front of the TV, especially after the not-so-healthy dinner I had on Friday night.

Disc Golf is usually played in a park, and it is common to have obstacles in the way. This might consist of a big tree right in the center of your shot, or a stream running parallel with the hole. Down south Disc Golf is made more difficult by the wealth of Kudzu in most parks. This makes it easy to lose your disc as you play. For this reason some of the most popular Disc Golf Frisbees are bright in color.

I’ve been using the Amateur Disc Golf set which is made out of a heavier plastic than the more expensive variants. I’ve been thinking about upgrading to the Champion Disc Golf line, however so far my discs have worked fairly well for my skill level. I’ve recently found a number of videos on YouTube that offer training advice on playing disc golf. After watching a few of them I feel like I have much more knowledge of the sport. There are a number of Disc Golf Courses in Atlanta and the surrounding communities so I have no problem finding somewhere to practice.

This sport is an excellent choice for me on those hot days when I just don’t want to get out and exercise. Sometimes its just too hot to hike, job, or Rollerblade in Atlanta so Disc Golf allows me to walk a few miles in total around the park the Disc Golf course is located in. It also give me a pretty good upper body work out as you have to throw the Frisbee pretty hard to get it to fly 300 feet. I know it sounds silly, but most people usually have sore arm and chest muscles after their first few games because it works muscles they’re not used to using.

I highly recomend this sport to anyone who enjoys the outdoors. It gets out out to some places you may not have visited otherwise and it gives you a good workout too!
