5 Signs Of Disc Colf Commitment

Disc golf is an addicting, affordable and absorbing sport. The more you get in to it the more it starts to effect your mind. Here are 5 signs you are loosing yourself to the sport.

1. Score memorization

At the beginning it might be hard to recall your score after a hole. Partly it's because you have to throw so many times per hole. Mostly it's due to inexperience. After a while you can recall every throw of every player on your previous round.

2. Obsession

This can happen anywhere you go. A perfectly shaped hill or an opening in the woods that is made for your monster hyzer. If only it would be easier to carry that movable basket around...

3. Economy

This is the same effect that happens when you have to use foreign currency. You tend to convert prices to the currency you are most comfortable with. Parking fine 45€ = 3 discs, new clothes 75€ = 5 discs, birthday gift for the girlfriend 7.5 € = 0.5 discs.

4. Gear A

Disc golf gear A has a lot going for it. A plastic bag is cheap and has street credibility. Why waste money on a ridiculous looking disc golf bag and a bunch of discs your not going to use?

5. Gear B

The next step from Gear A. Your throwing technique is flawed so you start to blame the discs. "Oh maybe if I just had a tad more understable distance driver". The result is that it's getting more difficult to find the 5 disc you need from the plastic bag, so you upgrade.

6. Gear C

Gear C is the choice for disc addicts, over analytical golfers and disc golf pros. These days there are over 500 molds of discs available.

7. Sanity

This one happens pretty early on. You start to yell and make gestures to a disc like it's a living thing. You also buy a nice bag to make the discs comfortable and wash them frequently with warm water.

8. Battle scars

Sooner or later you are gonna get hit by a driver at full speed. A true disc golfer carries those injuries with pride.
