What is this disc golf lol? I have never heard of it but always up for learning something new.

It's a game played like regular golf only with throwing discs ( think whamo frisbees ) normally there are baskets made of metal and chains to shoot for, but in the park these unofficial courses use stumps, rocks, telephone poles, etc .... as targets. A normal course is made of 18 targets, and a player tries to play the course in as few throws as possible. I'd be glad to teach ya Melissa !!!

Nice clip Bob!  The guy in the video, Michael Johansen (AKA The Dirty Hippy) is one of the best.  

Hey Kirk.  I love disc golf.  Started playing about 5 years ago and recently got more serious about it.  I plan to play all the time.  Ill be in Grant.  Supposedly Lake has the "best", or most established.  I think it has a basket or two.  Luckily for us at Grant, I have a portable basket.  I understand all of the villages have a course.  

On off days I might do some driving to play.  I lived in Bozeman for awhile and there are some real nice spots around.  Mountain courses.  

He's right tho.  It's like going on a nice hike and playing a game at the same time.  And most people pick it up quickly.  I suggest everyone give it a try this summer.
