Disc Golf Monday

Monday is Jared's day off during the week, and yesterday was his first whole day off that he's had in the past couple of weeks! VBS ate up his day off last week, so we thought we'd do something fun together yesterday. Jared loves disc golf, so we went to the Highland Hills Disc Golf course in North Wilkesboro.

And whoa, my Rainbows were a bad choice! We had so much fun, but neither of us had on good shoes for the course. We weren't quite expecting the rough terrain and all the hills.

Every disc golf course I've been to (grand total: 1) was fairly flat, in a wide open field. It never occurred to me that disc golf would require spiked hiking boots, but perhaps I will be investing in some!

The steep hill to get to the first tee!

On the first hole, we learned that one of Jared's throws equals about 3 of mine. He might be a little stronger than me ;)

The sign says - "Hole #3 - up hill." I think they just spelled "mountain" wrong. Don't let the steps fool you - they stopped about halfway up and we were on the top of the mountain by the time it was all said and done!

There was a pretty stream on the course! I took a break on holes like this one, for fear that I would toss my disc into the stream and Jared would break a leg trying to get it out for me. Just looking out for him, of course.

Thank you, Bojangle's!

I didn't play on hole 16, either. It was conveniently located beside these huge things that were covered in "WARNING - HIGH VOLTAGE" signs. It became painfully obvious that I need disc-aiming practice, and I didn't feel like getting shocked yesterday. Or...ever.

Jared's best shot! Good job, hubby!

My best shot. Not even kidding - it lodged straight in to the log, which was easily 15 feet off course. It's okay to be impressed.

We had so much fun sweating and sliding down hills together. We were about to go to bed last night and we were discussing how fun the course was, and Jared said, "Next, we have to try the one in Ashe County!" He did that course once, and said it's not quite as intense as the Highland Hills course. Still, I think I'll be finding some hiking spikes for my flip flops :) I love taking new adventures together!
