[DiscFifty]

I didn't see any threads for us old timers, so I thought I would start one. lol.

I've also started a FaceBook Page here:

I started playing mainly as part of my weight loss program, but now I'm addicted to this sport! Problem is, my mind wants to play more than my body does. lol...

I am old too, don't facebook. Can't text or call either, don't cell phone. Got a landline, don't really answer that either. Dang, I am old. :doh:

There sure are too many types of Discs from which to choose nowadays...

You know you're old when you have trouble lifting your 138g disc :doh:

I call it the Advil division of disc golf.....we watch the young kids throw and then mutter to each other about how we used to be more flexible..

Welcome and ......ahh.....I forgot......gotta go take a nap

43 but my nephew tells me I have the back of a 60 year old. Waiting for multiple sets of teeboxes to enter the sport like ball golf.

If there's going to be an old fogey thread, I want it to ban any talk of practicing to improve your game. I practice to slow the decline.

...we watch the young kids throw and then mutter to each other about how we used to be more flexible...

Understood, but I'd change that to, "...mutter to each other about how much easier that shot is with a roller." Kids.

A couple things to remember, guys ... 1) We gotta stick together; together we're a force, alone we're just some old guy wandering around the park; and, 2) Brains over brawn; we can out think the kids (see reference to rollers, above). Throw smarter, not harder!

It's hard to even get my disc up anymore. :\

Hello to all us 'seniors' out there. I was recently lamenting the fact that, as a high schooler, I was able to start a new sport, be sore for a day or two, then just get into the groove of it. Now, at 52, I'm sore after every multi-round day. Oh well, I'll still keep throwing! :thmbup:

 

[Old Bassman]

I wil be turning sixty in November and am glad to play this game when ever I can. (More often than I should)

 

[Curtis_Valk]
