I've been D-golfing since 1993 & I can't stand how there are way to many know it alls! Every where I go throw all I here are these two words with disc golf that I don't like money & how far can you drive?!? Every one want to make money off disc golf charging for everything even how to teach the sport how sad "I will always teach for free & never join open division I did have 886 rating & still played am division🐢✝️🥏
It’s funny watching this documentary now 7 years old. In the last few years it has exploded! I was lucky enough to have a friend teach me how to play 15 years ago. I love this game more every day.
I just found disc golf about two months ago and I am absolutely hooked. We only have one small course about a half hour from my house, but the guys I play with have convinced the local parks department to set up another course 10 minutes from me and two others are being discussed by the rec department now. We play best shot doubles every Saturday morning and have a little putting league every other Wednesday evening after work.
I just accidentally clicked on this video but was immediately pulled in. My fam was back in SoCal right before Christmas and met my cousins for a round at La Mirada on a very rainy day. Chatted with a father and son right at the start, talked about not caring about the rain to discover they were also from wet Washington 😂 (only saw 2 other golfers the whole time). We so enjoyed this course and all the flocks of crazy colored birds and pelicans in the pond, and had no idea this was one of the OG‘s! Thanks to this video for giving me history that enriches our experience. My brother straight up parked that hole shown at 12 minutes 15 seconds. Even before watching this, I also thought, what a gem of a place! Just the day before we played La Mirada, my dad was bragging to my brother and I that unlike us, he had still never lost a disc. Well, the next day he threw a Roc (borrowed from me) forehand approach, landed on the hill, and rolled all the way down into the drink kerplunk. That water isn’t deep, but opaque and we didn’t find it 😜
Im so glade i found this video i grew up down the street from La Mirada park i remember seeing the baskets riding my bike growing up as a kid i moved to Tulsa Ok 6 years ago and 1 year ago was introduced to disc golf and fell in love i cant wait to come visit home and play this course for my first time
I like disc golf, even i am not yet very good throw straight. Started by getting +12 total on a 9 hole course. Nowadays is always -1 or 0 all the time. Took about 1 1/2 months of almost playing every day to get to this level where i am now.
Just got started this year at 35. So far no sport has better suited my lifestyle. It's so nice to be able to finish my night shift and have my pick from about 6 different courses near my commute. All without having to worry about tee time reservations and fees. I should have started years ago.
New to the sport, July 2020 is when I decided to learn how to play seriously and wow! What a wonderful sport it has everything including exercise, I’m hooked for life, just can’t stop thinking about it. Thanks for the documentary, very excited to see where the sport goes in the near future.
I understand now that the transition from a common Frisbee into discs that's basicly putter, midrange, fairway and distance driver, with different TURN and FADE, must be a preeeetty significant change!!
I fucking love disc golf and I cant believe it took me this long (I started playing the year it came out lol) to see this doc but bravo folks this was great. I am currently struggling with a heroin addiction and disc golf is the only thing that makes me want to stay sober!! So thank you to everyone who makes this sport/hobby/stress reliever great!! I'm going to go pro eventually I've just gotta keep practicing and continue to stay sober!! Y'all are the shit lol thank you truly!!!
This is awesome!! I just started playing a lot! check out my drawing of a basket on my friends private course! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-APaVRXSqOrc.html
DAD: We have been playing about 3 months with my son aged 11 pictured and younger son aged 5. In about 3 months my youngest has gone from 142 shots on our local course to 98 today. Whenever we go anywhere the first question is: "Do they have a course near by?" great family sport for people of all ages. We regular see a gentleman in his 80s on our local course too.
If anybody is ever around the state of Kentucky, please consider coming to Edmonson County and Warren County. 10+ disc golf courses in the area. We really love our disc golf here! Great video by the way 😁
What they were saying about not having an athletic backround, but still enjoying and being good at disc golf is 100% true. Im a scrawny short skinny drama kid who cant throw (let alone catch) any kind of ball to save my life. But you give me a disc Ill put it anywhere at all for you, I love this sport so much and hope to one day be good enough to really compete professionailly.
One of my local courses is one of the oldest in the country, huntsville alabama Brahan Springs course made in the early 80s and we hosted the 1997 world championships. I've been wanting to get the course more exposure it's such a great course
I moved to california 3 and a half years ago and hadnt played since I moved. La Mirada is the second course I played out here and now I play it nearly every day. I had no idea the history behind this course. They dont lie when they said that this sport helps you become a better person. Between the drive to get better and the people like Jase that Ive met I feel as if disc golf is my new addiction. Funny enough I was out there on fathers day and a bunch of guys in fancy innova polos walked up. I jokingly said "nice shirt, where did you get them?" ( I secretly wanted one). They told me that they work for innova. we joked around and they gave me advice on what and how to throw. Later on I find out that I was talking to Dave (basically the inventor of disc golf).
Great documentary. Shame there was not more representation of women and juniors however. One of the great things about disc golf is it is for everyone!
To bad Innova set The DG image back by sponsoring Anthon again, and if he is who DG players look up to I think DG still has a long track before it can be considered a professional sport. let's all get drunk and run people down with RVs hurray #Innova
49 years for me. We threw through tires buried upright in the ground in 1970 with Wham-os. My how the sport has grown. I hope I am found dead on a course with disc in hand at over 100 years old. Thanks for this inspiring post.
