Well, my son and I played our second round of disc golf ever this weekend. Mineral Springs/North Park last weekend and Lakewood this weekend. We've both played a little ball-golf, but I don't have the deep pockets to play it much. Disc golf is so much more interesting, and affordable, we've found out
One thing I've been impressed with so far is the helpful players we've encountered. At North Park we were helped a good eight times or so finding tees and holes. What a maze! We had a good time though and surprisingly walked away with our disks.
Lakewood was a lot of fun. Not as crowded as I had feared. We parked in the west (lower) lot not knowing there was another lot that was situated at the first hole
We played off a map from the web, only later to get confused from what we later learned was an out-of-date map. Our confusion must have been pretty obvious. We met "Rob" at 14 and he asked if we'd like to play on as a group. He was very helpful as well as being a very inspiring player. We managed to finish 15 without dunking a disc in the pond, then finished at 18 and bid farewell to Rob and thanked him for the guidance and time. I'm sure we'll bump into him again since learning he was a local.
So we're already planning for next weekend's DG adventure, thinking about the next "magic" disc to buy and perhaps watch a tourney match or two! We'll most likely meet some of you on the courses as well and looking forward to it.

and borrowed one of the maps posted on the bulletin board which helped a ton!! I really enjoy the challenging obstacles but I think my son is not as enthusiastic about the course.
