Another hobby that I’ve picked up recently is disc golf. If you’re not familiar with disc golf, just think “frisbees” instead of a club and ball and baskets instead of holes. It’s a lot of fun and it gives me an excuse to get outside and get a little exercise.
Courtney from work gave me my first real introduction to it at Avent Park here in Oxford, where there are nine holes. We also have a nicer 18-hole course at the university’s intramural fields. I’ve also played at Coachman Park in Clearwater, Florida, when I was down there on business at the beginning of July.
Tishomingo State Park, near my hometown of Belmont, has two courses that I’d like to play, and there are several courses in and around Tupelo. Several of the other state parks have courses as well.
I’m still not very good at some (okay, most) aspects of disc golf, but I’m improving. For instance, my driving could use some improvement in both accuracy and distance.
It’s been too hot to play much lately, and I expect Liam will curtail my playing to a large degree for a while. However, it won’t be too terribly long until Luke can follow me around the course.
