Having read through the opinions on this thread, i find most of them to be pretty dumb personally. Particularly the voices advocating taking a hard line and telling your wife that you could be doing worse things so your wife can suck an egg. This won't do anything to address her concerns or do anything to reduce the friction between the two of you around disc golf. It might be satisfying to think about telling your wife off like this, but it won't give you what you want.
I think the starting point is a conversation with your wife where you communicate why disc golf is important to you and you want to keep it a part of your life. I also think it needs to be accompanied by an offer of compromise, something that gives her more of what she wants since your asking to continue doing what you want. Maybe your wife wants a night to go out with her girlfriends and you could offer to hold down the fort for a night in exchange for some hours playing. Maybe your wife just wants more time with you and you could offer to take care of arranging the details of date nights for the two of you in exchange for some time playing.
My wife has had some hard feelings about disc golf over the last few years although she tries hard to be supportive of a hobby that takes me away from the family for chunks of time. With 4 kids between the two of us, I know that meeting the needs of the kids and my wife are the first steps in getting to do some of the things i want to do.
This.why anybody would shack up with somebody who needs to control you and dictate what you are "allowed" to do just boggles my mind
if you aren't allowed to be you, who are you?

Talk to her and see what is really bothering her. There's more to it than what she is letting on, especially if it is not taking time away from the family. If she is against disc golf, try to involve her. If your kids like like, she might too.
