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

[Romans 5-8]

You know you are addicted to disc golf when you position your computer/eat all of you meals in a spot in the house so that you can see the mailman through your window because you know there might be a goody coming. You already checked the tracking 40 times, but still that doesn't stop you from looking up at every car that passes because it just might be your lucky day.

When the mail truck does finally pull up you hide behind the blinds, anxiously peeking through while holding your breath hoping that they will start walking towards the front door.

When they don't bring your treasure, you go play disc golf to vent. When they do bring your treasure, you go play disc golf to celebrate.

Ha! Yea, that might be true, but after reading many horror stories of shattered discs I am reluctant to throw my favorite discs out in the freezing cold. My discs are no strangers to trees

I don't think new stuff cracks. I have been throwing a Big Bird roc all winter long without anything happening and that's older.

A guy posted his buddies shattered FR Boss on Facebook a few weeks back, newest non dx disc I have seen shattered.

Any way, you know addicted when you have crusty white plastic around your lips, a la Dave Chappelle.

You tell your girlfriend she needs to mow the fairway and clear out the underbrush on that hole.

 

[BirdieMachine]

You hear the name Salient and LOL.

You tell your girlfriend she needs to mow the fairway and clear out the underbrush on that hole.

And you didn't get slapped?:|

 

[JedV]

You cut your hand with a knife and the first reaction isn't "that hurts", it's "Omg can I still throw?"

The answer, thankfully, is yes

 

[Romans 5-8]

When you do the doorframe exercise and your wife knows that is your "alone time."

 

[MooTaters]

Doorframe exercise:

 

[Romans 5-8]

You know you are addicted when:

You are so excited about your new bag that you take it over to your mom's house, give her a rundown of why the bag is so awesome and show here every single feature that it offers.

 

[Stardoggy]

When you find out you're going to SC for work for two days, and you book a flight for 6am the day before so you can hit courses there....and then you spend 4 work hours figuring out which courses to play.

 

[Phenn]

Living at an apartment means the mailman used to leave me a note to pick my discs up the next day at the distribution office. Inevitably, this means getting my discs a day after they arrive.

Now the mailman knows my name, and knows that if he has a disc shaped package, I'll be waiting at the mailboxes when he shows up. Still haven't convinced him to try disc golf though.

 

[Nasty Nate]

You tell your girlfriend she needs to mow the fairway and clear out the underbrush on that hole.

:clap: hahaha that made me laugh.

...when you rip half the flesh off your fingertip and create a new grip so you can still throw.

 

[Monkeypaws]

Not funny, but when you can't sleep at night, and there are worries on the horizon, and disc golf is your happy place to reduce stress and relax and maybe get to sleep.

It has helped me through more than a few rough nights.

(My life is good, I just tend to worry.)

 

[Basshunter]

...when you've started carrying an extra bag in your truck in case you run into a friend you can talk into playing a round.

Well, OK, I actually have a DG hit list...friends and acquaintances I want to turn on to DG. The bag is to give them no excuse
