It's sort of underground. I didn't know anything about it a couple of years ago. Now I play all the time. 
Just read up on it. www.google.com

Definetly a fun game.
I play both real golf and Disc Golf.. I dont think Ive ever seen anyone else but stoners playing ever.
Id like to get serious with the game sometime though. Play in competition like I do real golf.

That site has tons of info on discs, technique, etc.
Ima sidearm thrower, too. They say that on average maybe one in ten players throws sidearm, but half of our club consists of sidearms. Something in the water around here.

The really good players won't limit themselves to sidearm or forearm. To them it's just like doubling the amount of discs in your bag.

True, and we've got a fair number of people who throw both ways. My backhand sucks, so I usually drive with a sidearm. Then I go backhand for my upshots, because my midrange control with a sidearm isn't very good.
It sucks to play with pros and baggers. I mean, you learn a lot, but watching someone make a 550-foot drive just makes me want to cry. I will never have that kind of D.

Playing with pros is fun, but the baggers need a curbjob. Lamers can't even compete at their own skill level because they know they'll get crushed.

I'm usually the navigator. But there's no such thing as a bad game of golf. I have a good time and get my exercise. I'm lucky to have a nice course close by the house and lots of cool people to play with.
Twice a year we play Hillbilly Disc Golf: we all get our baskets together and convert this guy's pasture to an 18-hole course with lots of wooded shots on steep rocky hills. It's a brutal game, made even tougher by the fact that everyone gets smashed while we're playing.

I have 5 or 6 in my bag, two of the same putter, and I rarely use more than the same 3. I accept your challenge.

I usually stick to just one. Too much hassle carrying a bunch of shit around.
And to the people who are still confused. You use "discs", which are like smaller, heavier frisbees (not very good for playing catch). Different discs are called drivers, putters, etc... based on their weight and shape and whatnot. There are a series of holes like in regular golf, but instead of a hole in the ground it is a large, metal basket. It's not really much more complicated than that. I prefer to play skins, so I don't have to remember a bunch of big numbers.

I always play with just one disc. I drive either sidearm or backhand, and I'm above average at both. There are several different courses here, and some are less stoner friendly than others. One is a course all over a mountain, and it entails quite a lot of hiking to complete 18 holes. In the summer, it's almost completely devoid of stoners. It's just too steep for that.
Others are more shady and low lying, and those are where all the stoners go. I prefer the mountain myself, as it's like a nice hike in nature every time you play. I've gotten a little too good at it though, I can't find anyone to really compete with. It's hard to improve when everyone else is below your skill level. So if any of you are out in the Montana area, shoot me a pm.

That's all I carry as well. A driver, mid-range, and a putter. No need for anything else really. Plus more than three tend to just get in the way and you end up loosing just by forgetting it somewhere or dropping it while walking.

Looking for a lost disc while your stoned can prove to be quite the adventure.
