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

[Olorin]

...you stop at rest stops while traveling and you can picture what disc golf holes would be like there.

 

[Olorin]

...you get on DG message boards at all hours of the day and night.

 

[magictenor1]

Amen to that.

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

...everytime you have to walk any distance at all, you are plotting the best shots to get there.

...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.'

Thanks for the laughs, you rock man. I'm always checking the wind, I'll add.

.....If after checking the wind you instantly think of a hole that would be good to play.

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!"

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)

I'm guilty of this one for sure.

 

[JR Stengele]

Own over 85 discs, three bags, one basket (eventually two), and still want more............

I know I got it bad, because everytime I see a nice open field or some land with trees, I think " that would be a cool spot for a Disc Golf course". My wife is getting tired of my saying that.

I also think about Disc Golf all the time. I need help.

…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.

 

[DiscGolfJunkie]

I knew when.....

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....

That's how we do it in Texas

That is a great story!

It's been done!

The World Record for the Highest altitude throw (from the WFDF World Records):
8,825 m by Christopher Pizzo (USA) at Mt. Everest, Nepal on 10/24/81

Donovan, these lists are great! Thanks for the laughs. ;>)

 

[Midnightbiker]

Is the diaper understable or overstable?

I think I found a listing on the stability of the diaper:


Difficulty 4
Speed 0
Glide 0
High Speed Stability 0
Low Speed Stability 0

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.

 

[kette_master]

...you are driving to a tournament and looking at the other vehicles around you, try to guess who else is heading that same way - even though you are still miles away.

While my In Laws were visiting(Meaning I couldn't go to the course) I was in the backyard with my putters, alternating between the Beware Of Dog sign and the Everlast on my heavy bag! 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.

Wow bro, that is funny. I wonder what you dreamed she was doing?

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.
