Well, it only took two decades, but finally it appears that disc golf is in Calgary to stay. In our public parks there are two 9-hole courses and two 18s, plus several more tracks privately held.
I started playing disc golf in 2010, and since then I've played 2 rounds of golf (ball). It's not because I don't like golf - in fact I've been golfing since I was only a few years old and it runs in the family.
The wind is our friend! I kid not. I've always seen the disc as a wonderful way for us to interact and cooperate with our environment. "Don't like the wind? Take up shot putting."
