reason number...

Post by Tom Fisher »

while playing a beautiful round of disc golf sunday morning with john giampapa and chris p, john chimed in after 9 holes and said something along this line...

"reason number 685 why i love this sport, i can come out here on easter sunday with a few buddys, smoke a cigar and have a blast"

best part of that phrase was the fact that i have never heard johns other 684 reasons why he loves this sport. so in good spirit lets start from 685 and work our way down to number 1.

thanks john, heres to you pal!

684: It gives walking in a circle through the woods purpose and plenty of emotion.
Sometimes I wonder, "Why is that disc getting bigger?". Then it hits me.

Speaking of John G.

I've played two rounds of Disc with John (he was in my foursome both rounds at the KOH tourney last year), and he was the first person to contact me with congrats after my win in that same tournament this year...so reason number 683, is making new friends with like minded crazy bastards that also love nothing better than throwing plastic in the woods on Easter Sunday.

#675: That spending 15 hours of a weekend busting your hump to make your course better is the best hard labor one could imagine.
#674: This labor of love is even more satisfying than having an ass-kicking round.

Or not listed on the public portion of the forum. Why do you guys think the stereotype exists, on the Clemson Tiger Board the other day, someone posted that Clemson had come in 4th in the country in the Disc Golf Championships, and the first thing out of someone's mouth was, don't you have to be stoned to play that game?
