I have heard of disc golf. I discovered this 40+ year old sport from a friend of mine two years ago. We have been playing together for the past 2 years. I live in northern NJ and have played approximately 15 different courses within a 75 mile radius of my home town of Parsippany. I certainly am not a great player. My average score on an 18-hole par 3 course is 75 and can still flaunt with low 80's on occasion especially if the course is long or extremely challenging. I throw primarily forehand as I have not been able to maintain much accuracy with my backhand.
Your post caught my eye because my wife and I are considering retiring to The Villages in a few years. One of my concerns is the ability to continue to play disc golf in locales nearby. So I am glad to hear there is one in Ocala.
I think it is a great idea to suggest that The Villages put in a disc golf course. I agree that it will catch on. If I do decide to move there I certainly will get involved in achieving this. I am currently assisting my friend with getting a course put in in Rockland County, NY where I grew up.
