Disc Golf

One sport that is up and coming is Disc Golf, which is played with miniature frisbees, baskets and courses of different terrain.
The discs are similar to golf clubs in that they are specially made for all different circumstances.  Some are made for people who slice to the left/right.  Some are made for distance, while others focus on accuracy.  Each throwing style has discs that are unique to that throwing style.
I enjoy using the Tomahawk throwing technique.  This involves throwing the disc like you would throw a tomahawk, or like a baseball pitcher throws a pitch.
Playing disc golf is very relaxing and a lot of fun.  Each week my best friends and I get together at a different course.  We've played just about every course in the area.  I never knew that there were so many different parks that housed disc golf courses.
The BEST part about playing is that there is virtually no additional cost, other than the purchase of discs.  You can get a starter set from Sports Authority or Dicks for around $20.  After that, the only time you have to buy new discs is if you lose one, which is fairly common due to the courses being heavily wooded in some areas.  Many experienced players own better than 10 discs though and have one for any occasion.  You have to be prepared to throw in tight spaces, to curve to the left or right, go for distance, or a combination of  these things.
Many people even bring their dogs to walk the course with them.  The dogs we see are so well trained and behaved.  I would like to bring my dog, but she's too young and would probably run all over the place and try to chase the discs.
