WARMUP: Mosey around park to the side parking lot. SSH LBAC Merkins Mountain Climbers
THE THANG: Disc golf! We started on the fields. Lunge walk to your first lie, bear crawl to each lie until you sink your putt. We multiplied high scores by low scores to get the number of burpees to do between rounds. – 1st hole, straight away in the open, roughly 270ish feet: 3 x 6 = 18 burpees – sooner set the next basket behind a pole and garbage can, roughly 250ish feet: 3 x 4 = 12 burpees – FNG Cheesehead set the next basket out in the open, roughly 260ish feet: 3 x 5 = 15 burpees
Mosey up to near the pizza hut pavilion with a basket set on the playground behind one of the rock structures. No exercises, just 1 more hole for fun.
Next we made a circle around a basket and started 12ish feet away. SSH, going around the circle attempting putts. After every two rounds, 10 merkins. Take a step back for each putt you sunk. 5 or 6 rounds of this.
MARY: There’s no Mary in disc golf.
MOLESKINE: Welcome, Cheesehead!
For those new to the sport, there are 4 main characteristics of golf discs: – Speed – less how fast it will fly and more how hard you have to throw it to make it fly like it should (we were throwing with 3s, 4s, and 5s) – Glide – how much carry the disc will have – Turn – how much it “turns” with the direction of your throw during the initial portion of flight (to the right on a backhand throw) – Fade – how much it falls out at the end of its flight (to the left on a backhand throw) There’s also a 5th characteristic: how much the thrower projects misguided trust onto a disc based on its aesthetic awesomeness And a 6th characteristic: how much the thrower stubbornly keeps using a disc to fly in a pattern it was not intended for
ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Holy Smokers – Spring Fling
