PLASTIC DREAMS


An early anniversary gift to myself, since I bought it at the end of January—a Discraft Stalker extra long range driver disc. Semi-translucent red Elite Z plastic with white stamp, 167 grams.

Today is the one-year anniversary of my first round of disc golf. I didn't get to wander out onto a course today, but I did reminisce about what an awesome year it has been for throwing plastic.

*I started out averaging in the mid-80s for eighteen holes and now play an average of 65 for the same.

*My collection of discs has expanded.

*I have figured out which discs work best for me. Driver: Discraft Avenger SS. Midrange: Discraft Buzzz ESP. Putter: Latitude 64º Sinus SP.

*I am now working with my new Discraft Stalker, which flies very similar to my Buzzz midrange discs. Hopefully, it will work into becoming one of my "go to" drivers.

*I have been able to play with a lot of people, including many people I have introduced the game to.

*I have been able to play a number of great courses—White River, Fort Steilacoom, NAD, Crystal Mountain, Horning's Hideout.

Here's to another year of running around through the woods throwing plastic discs at the chains of a metal basket!
