Disc golf

Before children my husband and I would play 18 holes of disc golf. Late months of our twin pregnancy 3 holes. With the babies in stroller -and with some breaks 6-9 holes. Toddlers on a cool April morning 3 holes.

A Saturday morning drive past one of our favorite disc courses and we had to stop. It was actually T. who dragged the disc bag out of the closet after overhearing his mother say,"maybe we should bring the discs along just in case."

Disc seems like a fabulous way to get kids outdoors and trekking around.
The boys love to try to toss the discs. They enjoy carrying them and the clank in the chains is worth each holes' walk. Serious players might not like that occasionally the boys may pick up a disc without placing a marker. On occasion my caddy S. did not agree which disc I should throw and I would have to use a driver rather than a mid range or putting disc. But disc golf is a great family sport. It doesn't cost to go to most of the courses around Seattle. The discs can be collected over time. And although disc courses do require maintenance, unlike a regular golf course the lawns do not need to be manicured and trees add to the challenge and beauty.
