Disc (Frisbee) Golf at RTL

[unicycle6869]

I know there are a bunch of Ride The Lobster threads, but I wanted to start a new one to tell people to bring some discs so we could maybe find some free time to make up a course somewhere and play a round or two. We might all be too tired to play but if it happens it happens! So if you like to play, bring a disc or two and we'll see if we can find a day, place and time. Might even play a couple days if we have enough interest! Reply here if you are thinking of bringing some so we know who to contact if we play and also to see if there is enough interest (although you only need two guys to play a round).

See ya'll in less than a week!!

Somehow I (almost) always seem to miss out on these disc golf events. I think the Centurions will be occupied with the eating and sleeping competitions.

I'll be bringing at least a lid (175gm ultimate disc) to play catch with, along with its many other uses. Unfortunately, the only basket course in Nova Scotia is in Amherst, NS, which is all the way in the NW corner, hours from any part of RTL.

As the Maestro said, though, the world is your disc golf course. Maybe play between awards and party on Saturday?

Maybe we can get some ultimate going then? I'll bring a disk too.

Maybe, but I doubt I'm bringing my cleats.

i'd love to have a go if someone brings a spare....

According to http://pdga.org/course/courses_by_city.php?id=2991 there is only one course in Nova Scotia - and it's not near the RTL course. But don't worry, we never travel without at least a few discs!

Here's a very recent article about the course: first in Nova Scotia: http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/ArtsLife/1059496.html

Who needs cleats, you're bringing a unicycle!

Hello people,
I'm from NS and though I haven't uni'ed or been invovled in a while, since RTL was coming up I figured I'd check out the forums again to see the buzz. I'm from Antigonish which is where the 4th stop for this uber-trek will be, I believe. Its true there is only one course in NS, in Amherst (though we just had a demo here and there may be one here (Antigonish) by the end of the summer).

However we do have a bunch of Ulty players who are usually always keen for a game. We generally meet once or twice a week with 10 to 15 guys sometimes up to 20 and just play a couple hours. Its pretty informal, usually barefoot, not overly competitive and just a solidly good time. I may be leaving for Alberta this week but if not I'd be down for getting a few guys out to play on the Thursday evening you folks are here, if you're interested and assuming you are not too tired. Even still not many things are more relaxing then just tossing around. If I'm gone I'll tell some other guys and get them to show up. It actually sounds like you guys will be landing for a welcome ceremony right at our field.

Also I'll probably be bumming around (disc in hand) anyway. It'll be cool to meet all of you guys. I was going to participate but it came down to school being too busy for me to train, and its in my backyard so I've always had a keen interest in this event.

If you guys have any questions about Antigonish (coloquially known as the Nish) or NS in general don't hesitate to ask. There is indeed no better spot to be in the summer.

Frisbees and unicycles, wow. What a perfect combination.

Jamey, you are not allowed to do anything where you might risk spraining an ankle!!

Where is the field? We'll try to make it.

Hey! Quit jacking this thread with your "ultimate" whatever nonsense.

This is about disc golf. The only thing meant to catch a disc is a basket.

You guys with your running and jumping... what's wrong with you? Why spoil a relaxing game of golf?

[nathan]

Yes Maestro8 you're right. But remember LA Muni weekend '06? We managed a pretty fun game of disc golf with no baskets at all! Just bring a driver or two and a putter and we'll have some fun somewhere in NS.

No problem Jim! I wouldn't dare to play utlimate as it could result in an injury but I don't think anyones ever been hurt playing disc golf? Well, maybe by getting smacked in the head by one...

BTW-I saw the doc today, took xrays and he said I'm good to go!!!!! Looks like I just barely made it to ride in this thing, talk about cutting it close!!!!!!!!
