I've been getting way into disc golf over the last month ever since I went down a namesake youtube rabbit hole in early May. Bought some discs and have been slugging it out at the local course. It seems less consistent than ball golf, the wind has a huge impact on a throw, which I find takes some of the pressure off. It's great fun, and the price barrier is super low. Would definitely recommend anyone to give it a shot. A am very excited to watch the first round of the PDGA world championship tomorrow.

I've been playing since 2007ish, and the highlight of my "career" was playing in a PDGA tournament in Idaho. I got 3rd place in the amateur division (the lowest there is) and didn't stop grinning for a week! Have fun out there, it's a great sport

I started playing about a year ago during the pandemic and it's been a really fun and cheap way to get outside, play a casual sport with friends or even solo. I also highly recommend watching a tournament on JomezPro[0]. They do day-after post production of tournaments and their videos are absurdly high quality for the size and scope of their team. They really seem to take an iterative approach to their product and UX and are seemingly just an indie shop who blew away the existing competition over the years while innovating regularly. Even though they're not 'hard tech' I view them as startup-like and a blueprint for video/media companies of the future. As mentioned in the parent comment, the PDGA world championship starts today (first video tomorrow!) and that's a great way to jump in. You can watch live, but I find the post-production far more consumable. Watching old tournaments is honestly enjoyable too. Very calming to put on in the background while working.
