I have three kids all under the age of 4. Needless to say, I've changed many diapers over the last few years.

...so...

You know your addicted to DG when you pretend the wet, rolled-up diaper is a putter and the trashcan is the basket. :D I've become a dang good diaper putter. :rolleyes:

I was playing at middle park in bettendorf ia the other day and i found an empty pizza box. If you got twice par on any hole the next hole you had to pllay with the pizza box. My rule and unfortunately i was the first to find out how hard it is to play with a pizza box.

Texconsinite

Even better if theres still pizza inside the box, so you at least have a snack, yumm yumm. Like carrying the beverage cooler after scoring highest on the previous hole. In both cases, you lose and win at the same time!!!

I once hit a moving squirrel that ran across my path. It was about 40-50 ft away and I had a disk in my hand and let fly as a reflex. Nailed it. The squirrel rolled over, sat up, shook itself, and ran off.

You know your addicted to DG when...

...all your broken dishes are replaced by discs.

...you've determined there's enough light before sunrise to start your round.

...you have to buy new socks each week, because last weeks looks like dirt. (wear black socks)

...the backseat of your car has nothing but discs and sunblock...And both are seatbelted in.

...someone asks you, "what's in the bag?" while leaving the grocery store and you start replying with the name of your favorite driver.

...someone asks you to pass the butter, and they get hit in the face with your putter.

...you run up to something and you start throwing in a last second X-step.

...everytime you step outside you begin by checking the wind direction.

...your new catch phrase for something cool just happened is now, "CHING!"

...animals, insects, and fictional characters all have correlating weights and colors.

...tye-dye does not make you think of clothes anymore.

...you use the word anheiser while giving directions. Everyone else is thinking "Beer?"

...someone mentions 'candy' and you start talking 'plastics.'

You know you're addicted to DG when...

you actually have paid some scavenger $5 to buy back the same disc that you lost last week.

you carry a snorkal and fins in the trunk of your car, just in case you lose your best disc in the water hazard.

the term "UFO" refers to an arrant disc buzzing by you, just missing your head, and all you can think is, "Was that a Champion Disc?"

you confuse the brand, color, size, and name of discs with condoms.

you attempt to call someone a derogatory phallic name and it comes out "Disck Head!"

you forget a "road roller" is actually an engineering vehicle used to compact soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt.

you have searched Amazon.com for a sports comedy featuring disc golf.

you just have to go up to the guy in the 'Cow Pie Throwing Contest' and demonstrate how he should be holding and throwing it to gain distance.

you recommend using the mini disc, when your girlfriend can't find her IUD.

you get your food tray at a restaurant and you practice the power grip on it.

you have to explain to your girlfriend that a "thumber" is not a sexual thing.

you've replaced your cars fuzzy dice with a hanging mini disc.

you've had to tell more than one person, "THAT IS NOT A GRILL!"

Donovan
05-29-2008, 01:59 PM
You know you're addicted to DG when...

you hear any song on the radio with "Breaking the Chains" in the lyrics and you instantly start thinking about the long putt you made once.

catch yourself standing in your cube at the office practicing your shot with an imaginary disc (just like the idiots who do it with imaginary golf clubs. Yeah, you know who I am referring too.) ;o)

you have actually taken a brief moment to considered why they didn't call it Basketdisc (basketball) instead. (Of course we all know that the baskets didn't come until later.)

the phrase "chain smoking' has nothing to do with tobacco.

you have put a disc in your hand for no reason but to just touch it.

you are waiting in line for food with an empty plate in your hand and you turn it over to look at the design to see with way it might turn if you threw it.

you start wearing Kangol hats, because they look cool like a disc on your head. ;o)

…at a sporting event where everyone is chanting and doing the tomahawk motion, you start showing the guy next to you how their fingers should be to gain some distance.

…someone tells you about how they just picked up a used red Stingray and you are dumbfounded that they were referring to a Corvette.

…your computer background has discs displayed on it.

…you own or considered having a custom mini made out of something other than plastic.

…sucking on a piece of hard candy, you try to shape it into a disc. You are even more of an addict if you take it out of your mouth to look at it.

…people in your family can explain to others what disc golf is, even though they have never played themselves (shame on you for allowing this to happen).

…you are considering climbing Mt. Everest just to try and break the world record for the longest disc throw.

I was picked up for traffic warrants and I spent the entire time in jail planning how I was going to win the next tournament shot for shot. For 3 days I SWEAR I completely planned how I was going to play the round, and I went out and executed exactly how I planned for the most part.

Most people are begging and pleading to get out of jail but I just took time off work and relaxed and planned how I was going to finish 1st out of 24.


Finished +1 by the way....

Yes it has, but could they beat it if they jumped a little higher, or threw it from a ladder? Gotta keep thinking higher than the mountain. ;)

Thanks so much bro! Now, if I can only find an artist, we could put this in a small paperback book just for fun and sell a few. Not going to get rich from it, but it would be a great gift for other players. All artists please reply. ;)

The other morning I was accused of talking in my sleep, which is not uncommon for me. However I’m told that most of the time it never makes any sense I just say words that either don’t mean anything or that don’t logically go together. This morning my wife said I woke her up and I was telling her that “she was going to hurt the course if she continued doing that.” If that’s not a sign that you’re addict to disc golf than I don’t know what is.

MY Father In Law asked my Wife, "Why is he playing Frisbee by himself?" I had to correct him, Not Frisbee, But Disc Golf. I think thats a sign of my new addiction.

Okay here is my story. I am going Nashville for a bridge tournament this weekend and I am taking my wife and daughter. I am thinking about staying an extra day so I can play disc golf but that would cost about $300 because I would need two hotel rooms. Then it hit me. I could save the $300 to go see my daughter later this summer, stay two nights at the Lake Cumberland lodge and play more rounds than if I had an extra day in Nashville.

you read these "you may be addicted " lines,identify with almost all of them and then think "I gotta go hit the course - NOW !"
the only other one I would add is - you wait all day while it is pouring down rain and wait for the slightest break in the weather and then even though the skies are still dark and cloudy as long as its not thundering and lighting you hit the course and are glad the tees are concrete (as opposed to mud)

You know you are addicted to disc golf when you:

1.own the license plate "DISC GOLF" in your state
2.inherited tons of land in 1980 from your parents and make it into a personal 24 hole course
3. install elongated cement tee pads on said course
4. spend 14 hours a week mowing said course, maintaining it alone
5. live on the course
6. let other disc golfers CAMP on the course
7. make the course public, accepting, but not requiring, donations
8. create and give away custom scorecards and map
9. try and greet EVERY player that plays
10. Is named Bill McKenzie who owns Flip City Disc Golf in Shelby,MI


...just had to get this one in cause I don't think any of us will come close to his personal addiction. Thank you Bill.

Correction, you know you're addicted to Disc Golf when...
anytime it starts pouring rain, you immediately throw on an underarmor shirt and a swimsuit, and head out to your local course, hoping it keeps raining because you know then you won't have to wait to tee off. (then proceed to shoot your best round ever for that course)

Thats how I roll:cool:

How can I play them all in one weekend?".

2. You come on this site and give a course a bad review because the grass is waste high but your own lawn has not been mowed in weeks because all you do is work all day and then play DG.

3. You ask your kids "Who wants to go to the park?" and all at the same time they say "not me".

4. Everywhere you look you envision potential pin placements.

5. Your family and friends are secretely planning an intervention.

6. You always know what time it gets dark.

7. Your wife gets mad at you when you watch the weather.

8. You have an extreme love / hate relationship with the wind.

9. Your boss writes you up for spending too much time on dgcoursereview.com but you don't even hear him talking because you're looking at his Colorodo wall calendar and thinking "that would be a great place for a course".

on a vacation with your wife, in Colorado, in early April, you get up at 5 something o'clock, leave her sleeping in the hotel, get in your rental car, see that the temperature is a balmy 34 degrees, drive to a new course, and start your round before the sun comes up, ALL, so as not to disrupt the vacation plans with the wife.

I've done something similar many times (but maybe not so cold). Once, after a full day at Disney World, I snuck out the next day before dawn so that I could get in an Orlando course.

I am a new member to this forum, as well as a new enthusiast to disc golf. I have only been to my fairly local course 3 times now, in which case I played 9 holes my first time (then it got too dark so we had to call it quits), played 36 holes my second time, and 54 holes my third time. And I haven't stopped thinking about it ever since.

Regardless, today at work a box of proofs for some brochures I just designed came in. On the top was some crumpled up paper used as padding to protect them in shipping. I took the paper out and it was almost the exact same size as a disc. Sure enough, I gripped it, turn, then flung it towards the trash. Unfortunately I missed...but I think I'm justified to claim that the "disc" was fairly "warped".

-I played between 72 to 90 holes today even after the first person I brought to the course had a seizure and I had to call 911. After getting him to the safety of his family I was immediately back on the course for the rest of the day.

That was the gateway disc. Then followed more and more frisbees, you know, different weights, bigger diameters until I saw my first free-style competition. Then we did all the tricks, tapping, juggling, you know, the usual stuff. From there it was a small step to Ultimate. We started hearing about disc golf, throwing at trees or signs or other things. By then it was too late, I was a goner. I spent more and more time out in the woods, throwing discs at baskets, getting lots of fresh air and exercise, just enjoying life on the disc golf course, you know what I mean doc?

I am a psychotherapist by trade, working mostly with adolescent boys. I have found that kids are much more willing to talk about issues when doing something else (drawing, playing catch, building something, etc.). It takes away the implications of "therapy" if you are doing something else and just talking. I often take boys out disc golfing, and have conducted lots of meaningful sessions while throwing the discs.

Good call, born:)

You know you're addicted to DG when...

It takes you an hour to drive 12 miles to your local course because of freezing rain and snow, witness two 360s that end in gaurd rail destruction and see another two cars off the road, backwards in the ditch, just so you can play 18 holes.
I did it today. One of the wrecks was because a guy thought me and the cars in front of me going 35 miles were idiots, so he gunned passed me, fishtailed, spun around and slammed head on into the concrete highway divider. He was completely sideways on the interstate with a semi coming right at him. I thought he was dead. The semi's trailer slid sideways, but the driver managed to stay in control and bring it to a stop. (he was ok, btw, he hopped out of his demolished pick-up truck cursing and kicking.)
I got to the course thinking I'd have the place to myself. I was so excited and thinking about trying to learn sidearm, practice rollers, and other such experimental stuff you wouldn't normally do on the course. I'll be damned if there weren't 35-40 other half-frozen discflingers out there smiling.
I love this sport.

You broke your glasses this morning, and can barely see the computer screen, but you know this site well enough to navigate it without being able to make out anything too well.

Even though your glasses are broken, and you can't see the basket from 20' away, you ssay oh well i know the general direction of the course and the baskets so I'm playing!!!!

If after the steaks are on the grill at your mothers 60th birthday party you are sent to the store to get some ice and discover a 9 hole course and decide to play a quick round. If an hour later you are still trying to find the #9 tee pad because you spent 15 minutes helping somone find a disc that they lost after you accidentally talked in their backswing.

True story. This is when I knew I had a problem. I caught hell but that was one of the most memorable round of my life.

you have to work at 330 and play the three hours before work. You get off at 11, and then a work crisis keeps you on call and from sleeping till 4 am. You get out of work again at 730, after 24 hours of no sleep, all the while the seasonal sickness has fully manifested itself. You decide that before going home and getting your 5 hours of sleep before going back into work its a good idea to play two rounds by yourself in 40 degree weather. (In a city that gets 125 degrees in the summer 40 degrees might as well be below zero). and then even worse, before getting to sleep you check dgcoursereview and write this ridiculous and likely incoherent post.

As you're driving down the road, you look at the trees and imagine a fairway and think about how you would throw that 'hole.'

As you're driving down the road, you pick a target, and as you approach that target you mentally go through your bag selecting which disc you would use as you get closer.

i just stuck with my wraith the whole round, but it didnt really matter which disc, because it never ended up anywhere near where you were aiming. some shots would go up to around 50 feet in the air, then come down to about 5 feet then right back up to 50 all before hitting the ground. my roommate had a drive that went about 30 yards forward, then about 50 yards back ending up 20 behind us. it was a lot of fun. i won the round with a +8 on a course where i usually score -6 or -7. the scores ranged from +8 to +22 lol.

When you drive by your home course every day on your way to work and look to see if anyone's playing...and if someone is you pull over and watch a few of their throws from a distance.

Yesterday when I did this at 8:00am it was 35 degrees, raining, and windy as could be. There was a guy out there playing a round in it. That's what I call being addicted to disc golf.
