You know you've definitely passed the newly wed stage when your husband gives you a Christmas gift that is actually for him. This was the case last December when I opened one of my gifts on Christmas morning to find a set of frisbee golf discs and a nice carrying case. "WOW! I didn't even know I wanted to play frisbee golf."
This spring, Paul happily broke out the discs and began watching tutorial videos online. Come to find out, it is rather hard to land a frisbee in a goal 300 yards away. He's learned things like the hammer throw, skipping, rolling, and the difference between a putter and a distance driver. I tag along to the disc golf course and make futile attempts at hurling discs down range. Things are only complicated by the fact that I am now 7 months pregnant. Let's just say in a sport dominated by college boys who haven't showered or shaved in 3 weeks, I stand out.
In all honesty though, it is great to go out and spend time with my busy husband. In a couple of months it will be much harder for us to go out and do whatever we want. Every moment we can find to spend together should be treasured, and for me that means getting sideways glances as my belly and I launch discs across a park.
Paul and the trusty hound ready for some disc golf:
Olive loves to retrieve the disc after it has been thrown. This is good if you want a "do-over," but not so good if the throw was awesome. However, you can't complain about a dog who wants to retrieve things for you and drop them at your feet.
Ohh the concentration!
This is blurry, but it's the only example me throwing. Seems Paul and I both suck in our lips. Whatever helps, right?
haha sounds like a good time! I didn't know that there was an actual course you could go to to play! oh and I love the pic of you throwing it!
ReplyDeleteDad found out about a month a go, from a guy who came to Utah to do some work for him, that Utah is actualy one of the biggest frisbee golf states there is! The guy brought his bag of discs and played a few times while here. He was really excited to be in Utah and play here. Guess it goes to show ya how stupid we are about our own state!!!
