So a friend came to visit a couple weeks ago from PA. Actually he and his girlfriend who is my wife's friend from college. He's got this huge bag full of discs and is talking about finding a local course to play. I'm clueless about the sport, but I played many hours of catch frisbee as a kid and there is a course a mile from our house. So we go and play a round. He gives me a beat-up DX Wraith, and I just imitate his windup as best I can, and I'm getting good distance. Not 300' or anything, but easily making 3's from the short tees. I was instantly hooked.
My sessions right now are mostly putting and driving range, just repetition, getting a feel for which discs I like, figuring out angles, etc. Then I'll play 7 or 8 actual holes on the course, throwing multiple discs off the tee if no one is behind me, and 10 or 20 putts from different elevations and distances. Just messing around, getting a feel for the game. Really having a blast. I'm 44, and really regret not taking up the sport 20 years ago.
This is my collection so far. If a weight isn't listed, UPS hasn't delivered it yet. I went a little nuts reading up on discs and ordering from Amazon and the Innova store, but I'm definitely done for now. Out of these 20 discs I want to get down to about 10 in my bag for actual rounds of golf, then I'm sure I'll probably look into different weights and plastics of those same discs.
My best disc right now is the Leopard which is why I ordered a second one in Star plastic. Some of these will be thrown for the first time today, like the Buzzz, Cobra, Impulse and Stratus.
