David Bell admits his love of disc-golf is more like an obsession than a hobby, and it shows. Here, exclusively on examiner.com, David shares more than you ever knew or wanted to know about the sport that has taken the Baltimore area by storm.
This season I am trying to get out and see a new course every weekend. Today, Saturday April 19th, a few friends and I are jumping in the hybrid and traveling to Calvert Road Park.
Calvert has 18 concrete tee's. 16 of which are under 300 feet. Does not sound too difficult but we will have to see where the obstructions lay. If you were to care, maybe get some shots taken of yourself for the blog; I'll be wearing a neon orange (well I guys more warmer colored than neon) jumpsuit- No, just kidding. I'll be wearing an orange shirt with bluish shorts. Give me a holler by name and I'll snap a shot.
Go out and enjoy the day with a fluent huck! Look for pictures to come and a review tonight or tomorrow. Depends on how the post golf festivities treat my liver- well sobriety.
Any cool bars around here? - Not too waxed in the College Park Scene.
I'll be setting up an email address to filter disc golf scene responses in the next couple of days. SO drop a comment till then and I'll respond with a new entry like with our new found golfer, Hooker.

Patapsco Park: Hole 12I as well, had Saturday plans for Codorus State Park in PA. Bypassing this plan Patapsco was the bad weather fall-out; 2nd choice. I was skeptical of the forecast from hearing it would rain through the first Tuesday of May. Scores... Read More Topics:

10% chance of precipitation. 30%: Doesn't seem like much of a difference but apparently this 20 percent warrants a vicious thunderstorm image. The hour drive to Cordus Park might not be the best idea today: Very disappointing.Cordus Park's... Read More Topics:

So many courses to choose from when not confined by weekday travel time. As mentioned, a new course will be discussed every week. Pennsylvania was mentioned as a worthy trip for disc golfing, during the enlightening 18 at Scaboro. The objective was to... Read More Topics:

A round of golf- how long will it last? Last night I squeezed 18 into post work play, arriving at 7:15pm. A lost disc pushed our Druid departure past 8:30pm- not bad. Light was a little forced meaning the final holes were lit by an eye's adjustment... Read More Topics:
