Hurt was getting anxious to get out the car and start his walk so I parked where we were, in the park, on the other side of town and Hurt and I set out walking. He was just as happy with this new location as he would have been by the river. He sniffed all of the plants, grasses, and rocks and peed on every tree, post, or stick that was taller than him.
You cant tell but that sign above the picnickers says no picnicking lol |
When Hurt and I turned around to head back to the car, that is when I saw the sign for Sedgley Woods Disc Golf Course. I had never heard of Disc Golf before. So, when I got back to the car I asked a young woman who had been hula-hooping (yes hula-hooping, you did not misread) if she knew what Disc Golf was. She was more than happy to explain it to me. She said Disc Golf was just like real golf except instead of golf balls and clubs you play with discs similar to Frisbees (but smaller) and instead of the hole being in the ground a metal “hole” basket like contraption hangs from the trees.

I have never heard of Disc Golf ever! Seems kind of fun. Also, really loving the quote from this post. Detours aren't always a bad thing 🙂
Debra Rutt says
I'd never heard of it before, but when I asked my 8 year old, he of course had told me he has played it. It looks fun!

I believe I do not have the hand-eye coordination for any form of golf! It looks like a pretty venue though!
Crystal says
I've played, and must admit I'm horrible at it! So glad you took the time to see the fun and beauty around you. It's there; you just have to be open to seeing it.
Carly says
I just played disc golf for the first time! I loved it!

Disc gold is popular around here. I haven't played it before, but maybe when it's warm I will!
Liz Mays says
Oh my gosh disc golf is so popular in Michigan right now. I remember the there were quite a few 18-hole courses around the MSU area.
Diana Elizabeth says
I have never heard of that game – but I love discovering new things by accident! I love going on detours while on vacation, you stumble upon awesome locations!

We played disc golf for the first time a couple months ago. It was a lot harder than I expected. Catherine S
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
I've played it a lot, actually. Down here we call it Frisbie Golf, though. LOL
Lindsey Paris says
I've been playing frisbee for years and hard of disc golf when I was in college. They had a course at the lake!
Rachel Ferrucci says
That sounds like so much fun. I think I may try to grab a basket and a frisbee and see about doing a hack disc golf game LOL
Colleen Beaty says
I had heard of disc golf before but never knew what it was. I learned something new today 🙂 Thanks for the great story!
Mental Mosaic says
I met someone who – get this – plays disc golf professionally! I thought he was joking when he first told me.
I thought that was the oddest thing until I met someone who made his living playing a video golf game! Always amazes me how obsessed people get with sports.

Yesterday during my vacation with family we went to the store and took a side trip to see a hobby train built that was one of the biggest on the West coast. Nice when you find something unexpectedly. I have not come across disc golf yet. Sounds fun!
Susan Silver says
We played it at UCI sometimes, but I never got into it. The only sports I ever liked were soccer and hockey.
chasingjoy says
Really Susan. I'd never heard of it before. I'd only ever seen people play frisbee
