I was looking through some old computer files when I stumbled across this one. It gave me a good laugh...again. It looks like I'm a disc golf addict 13 times over! (#1, 8, 9, 10, 13, 18, 24, 38, 41, 49, 53, 55, and 57)

Enjoy!

"14. You accepted a job relocation to another town on the basis that a course was in the area."

Been thinking of relocating to a small town and my only criteria is that it has a course nearby.


Hi my name is John and I love to throw plastic at metal.

I haven't actually moved because of DG, but there have been a couple of business trips that I agreed to only after checking out which courses were nearby.

I know a disc carrying dog named "Steilly"!

I love the list!

62. ...you get complimented on your disc golf tattoo.

I like the one about letting your imaginary friends tee first. I don't have any imaginary friends (they all left because I never lost an imaginary tournament), but if I did I'd make them adhere to standard teeing order rules.

[General Scales]

63. The only thing you do when you work is type blurbs on blogs and forums about how much of a disc golf addict you are.

My name is Stu and I spent 500 on lost plastic last summer. Only 150 this year...so far.

[zippyboy]

I love #13.

My name is Mitch, and my home course is Trojan...

[JMan]

I like #62 because I do get complements on my DG tattoo

63. If you have thrown with your off hand because you couldn't stay away for the week to let an injury heal.

[Toby Puttzinski]

64. When you'd rather disc golf than sleep-- working the night shift and forgoing sleep several days a week to reach disc golf delirium.
65. When you have a basket at work, and you stay up for half of your night shift to practice putting for the tournament the next day, and sleep the other half so you can get through the next day.
66. When you still live at your parents house, have no job, and spend at least eight hours each day at the course.

the first two are me...

[Toby Puttzinski]

67. When you give out mini's for wedding invitations.
