I wanted to get out today but I had to get my girlfriend's car running so she could get to work on time. By get her car running I mean watch her jump it.
I can't wait to throw though. I'm no good but I love to play.

What the heck is disc golf and what am I missing out on?
I've always wanted to try all of these hippie sports: frolf, disc golf, ultimate frisbie. 
Disc golf looks pretty fun.

You by specialized disc and literally it's played like golf. Discs can be bought second hand for $5-10ish, new ones run $10-$30. They make putters, midrange, drivers...etc you name it. It's neat because you can buy discs that are tiedie, neon colored, pictures on them so you can really customize your playing equipment. It's cheap as most courses are public and free.

Just get a midrange. You don't need 9 discs to play. I only have a midrange. It's nice not to have to carry a bunch around.
You can get more later if you want.

i play but suck at it. seems the more i try to get better the worse i get too 
theres a course right by my house, historically its the second disc golf course built in the US or something, but its nothing compared to the ones ive seen up north. santa cruz has a 27 hole that just blows it away

I've been out about 2 or 3 times so far this year. I've been busy with college, but I will be getting out there more. Love the sport.

I used to bring a bunch out with me when I played, but now I really only use my favorite driver for all my shots. Like bryguy said, it's nice to not have to carry a bunch around!

I stumbled into a disc golf course the other day just out looking for a park my daughter and I could hang out in and kill some time. We ended up following a group of dudes around watching them play because she was so fascinated.
I admit, it did look like a lot of fun.

Such a great sport for all ages and skill levels. Depending on how young your daughter is, they make miniature discs, too.

I carry a driver and putter...sometimes a midrange, but IMO a driver and putter is all you need.

Problem is when you drill your driver dead into a tree and it chips the fuck outta it...It never flies the same again
