NEFA DISCussion

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.

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.

682- a great reason to swear at inanimate objects, the ones you throw and the ones growing in front of you.

# 681 - Watching that drive fly through the woods just as you planned
# 680 - Smashing a 45 ft putt
# 679 - Loving the outdoors 365 days a year

#658 - That 90 of my friends would pay money to come hang out with me in the Adirondacks this weekend.

#679 The chicks
#678 The Haze
#677 The flick's
#676 The way's

#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.

673=420

A little early T, but I guess it's 4:20 somewhere.....

#672: taking a break from staring at a computer screen (for a few hours atleast)

671: Taking frustration out by punching those trees in my way.

#670 Puring Alleys
#669 Drinking a good beer with your buds in the woods
#668 WINNING!

#667 I can do things with a disc(sometimes anyway) that I would never be able to do with a golf ball


Alright...who's got #666

#666 Going on a Disc Golf Discussion board and being able to post number "666" because the number is cool.
#665 The Competition
#664 The Camaraderie

#663 - The feeling just before you hit (another) ace.
#662 - Flat Top Rocs

#661: Flat-rock (is) tops!!

#660 Finding a new route the 116th time you have played the same hole

#659 - Money Rhynos
#658 - Champion Money Rhynos

657: Because wandering around a park aimlessly with a 6-pack would be wrong.

656# Works the Glutes.

#655 Thinking about Doug's glutes.

#654 - Learning to emulate John G's short drives and low scores... still working on the low scores part

#653 You can play 3 rounds with someone on a beautiful Sunday and then forget they were even there.

DEWSH

#652- going to anywhere in the world and playing that course there.
#651- learning this sport at 13, thanks Redd Brothers

#650 - Getting away from the wife and kids (whom I love dearly and love even more when I get back) and getting some exercise while at it!

#649 - Having a message board that is not blocked off by work's firewall and giving me something to goof off with at work!

#648 Playing up at 5000ft and throwing Valkyrie's like destroyers

I'm with you Titan but this probably should be reason #420....or #1.

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?

Very well said. I second this...

Agreed. Leave it to Titan to get me in trouble.
