I've only just edged into 40+. last weekend was the first rated round I had played in almost 10 years and I regretted it. I had backed away from DG (and this forum) for a while and it showed. My body feels different, started in my late 30's, but really notice it now. I could take a bath in icy hot.
I guess my main old guy complaint now is there's more people playing. When I got into this sport I really liked the fact I was by myself when I played a round of DG. Now there is always someone on the course. I was never really in the "grow the sport" camp. I'm not sure how the sport grew. I've heard that COVID gave people the opportunity to try it out. I don't know. I just know that now I have to deal with people. I do this to not be around people.
Oh and where the hell did all these new disc companies come from? when I started you had to drive three counties over just to find Discraft or Gateway. Thought Space Athletics? non over-molded MVP discs? Everyone has a signature disc? I remember the coup-d'etat for putting Avery and Feldberg on discs after only one worlds win.
Why are discs so expensive now? Why is everything out of stock? Why do I have to look at other people on the course?
I hate everything... just kidding, like all men of a certain age I'm frightened angry and frustrated but I'm self aware enough to have some humor left
not kidding I still hate everything
