One of my favorite things to do is go disc golfing. We live in Oregon, and the countryside is absolutely beautiful. I think my favorite thing about disc golf is simply the opportunity to be outside and be active. The sport requires very little endurance. As a matter of fact, my wife would argue that it is not a sport at all. She calls it my hobby. As it is the only semi-athletic thing that I am even remotely good at, I will continue to call it a sport.

A buddy of mine from college who lives in Eugene turned me on to the sport about four years ago. I looked up a couple of courses using our Oregon internet and went and played nine holes by myself. I was immediately hooked. I have since found several other guys who live in my area who also disc golf and we have become very good friends. Occasionally my wife will become annoyed when I go off on a weekend disc golf trip or play with the guys for a couple of hours on a Saturday. However, I continue to remind her that there are far worse hobbies I could have taken up, to which she just smiles and rolls her eyes.
