I've been playing discgolf for about 20 years.  For a while, I was playing in PDGA tournaments and making a few thousand a year for throwing plastic in my spare time.  Back in the day, when I was buff and a veteran player, I could throw about 400' with accuracy when conditions were right.  I could throw over 350' without fail.  My chronic back trouble and only playing five or six times a month has degraded my skills. 

Now, I never get those 400' drives.  I mostly throw 330' now too.  I can still put together a really good round, but I played in a tournament with some pros not too long ago and they handed me my ass.  I was having an off day and it was the first time I'd played a night tournament too.  I was still clearly outclassed.

Today, I picked up a disc and threw it 450'.  The very next thing I did was pick up another disc just like it and throw it 450' and have it land right next to the first one.  I left my coffee cup and walked to retrieve my discs. 

When I got to my discs, I decided to try an into the wind shot back towards where I started from.  I took aim at my coffee cup and flung the disc at it.  The disc hit the ground in front of the coffee cup (450' away), covering it with dirt and skipped over it.  This presumably save my irreplacable "NPR President member banquet" stainless steel coffee cup from total destruction.  I threw the second disc at the coffee cup as well.  If I destroyed it, I'd still use it.  When questioned I'd say, "I hit it with a frisbee from one and a half football fields away."  But this disc kind of hooked to the left and landed 30' to the left of the cup.

With ten minutes of practice, I was hitting hand grenade close to targets at 300', 350', 400', and even got a couple discs 500' or so.  The world record longest hole in one is 580'. 

I was not throwing the disc in a traditional fashion.  I usually fling the disc with my right hand backhanded across my body.  I sometimes throw the disc overhand like a spear to heave it over trees instead of around them.  If you do it correctly, the disc will fly over the trees, land upside down and skip further along the ground towards your target.  I usually throw this shot with my thumb on the top of the disc.  This is called a 'tomahawk' throw.  These guys are doing it here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7ZQbxrr1v8  you might want to skip forward four minutes or so.

I flipped my disc around so my thumb was on the inside rim and my index finger was on the top.  I was using this bizarre disc made by the aerobie flying ring people called an 'epic.'  If I gave it enough rotation, I could make the disc do an entire barrel roll, end rightside up for a regular frisbee throw, and continue to fly 200-300'. 

So to be clear, I'm throwing a frisbee overhand, 50' up in the air, it does a complete barrel roll, ends up in the proper orientation for a frisbee to fly about 200' down the fairway, and continues to fly towards the hole.  I can do this with chilling precision and accuracy.

I was in a giant park who's sports fields had just been aerated, so nobody was on them.  I was humming these giant, looping shots back and forth across the soccer fields one on top of the other.  People were pausing in their play on the swings, walking their dogs, or yelling at their kids to watch me.  I could hear people talking "What the heck is that?"  "Is that some kind of boomerang?"

I'm going to be the fucking annihilator on the course this weekend.
