Frisbee Golf

I went out on Sunday for the first time this year and played all 24 at Lincoln Ridge (used to be Banklick Woods). I always keep score tournament style, which calls for each hole to be played as a par 3 instead of the posted pars, and I ended up at 4 over. Not bad at all for the first time out in 7 or 8 months. I had a fantastic drive that led to a birdie on #12 - it's a big wide open flat hole, 365 ft out. I'd guess my drive was around 345-ish.

 

Side note: My throwing arm is still killing me today... :lol:

 

 

Anyone else play?

Here's a view from the tee at #12.

Never played but I want to really bad.

I don't play as often as I would like. I'm not nearly good enough to post that score, but it's still fun.

My score certainly wasn't hurting since Lincoln Ridge is kind of a regular haunt for me. When I get out on the less familiar courses in the area, my score generally suffers noticeably. Also, as I understand it, it's just like regular golf - the more you get out and do it, the better you get. Once it gets to be good weather out, my friends and I will usually arrange a day of the week where we have a standing appointment at Lincoln Ridge, something like 6:30 on Wednesdays. Whichever guys make it there play. It's a great way to unwind - especially when somebody's toting a cooler of beers instead of a bag of discs.

Where do you live around Kentucky? I love getting out and introducing folks to the game...

I usually play at Banklick anyway (I haven't been there since they started calling it Lincoln Ridge). I used to play a lot more often a few years ago.

Just look for the truck parked in the front yard grass.

haha, actually today my 2 trailers are parked in the grass behind the barn, the trucks are in the drive way, but the one of the mowers is on blocks.

I've never kept score tournament style at Lincoln Ridge. I've always played whatever the par posted, first time there this year about a month ago I threw a -11 on all 24 holes. Not sure what they would equal with the tournament scoring. I love that course and have gotten very good at it.

[MJAlltheWay24]

I love playing out at Idlewild, but its rare my friends want to play that course...very tough.

[jahearme]

I don't play, but supposedly there is a new course in Mt. Sterling that is nice and very difficult. It's at Botts Park on the by-pass.

[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

Well if any of you guys are interested in playing some time, just shoot me a message on here and we can meet up somewhere and play...there's only like 30 courses around town, haha.

I've seen the discs at places like Dick's and Play It Again Sports...but curious, how many of them do you actually need/use? If someone was just starting out, what would you suggest as "must haves"?
