Activity: Disc Golf
Location: Richmond Hill Course, Asheville, North Carolina, USA
Discs: Discraft Comet
Disc Golf is a great sport. The Richmond Hill Course will give your legs a workout and empty your water bottles before your through. Today I played the entire course.
I didn’t do as well today blowing my previous +2 on the front nine away with +7 today but I followed it up with mostly par through the back 9, resulting in a total of +8 not bad for my 7th game ever. (btw: my buddy and I had been shooting +19 or so in Cranbury)
There were quite a few people playing the course today, Mother’s Day 2009. I played through with a nice guy from Greenville before joining two locals for the last 11 holes. I didn’t hold them up too much 
and definitely enjoyed the camaraderie.
There are several really positive things I can say about this sport so far;
• The people along any given course are really cool.
• If you miss a drive, you still have a good chance at par.
• Tee to basket is likely to be a rugged walk in the woods.
• Each course seems to have a 420′ hole.
• Throwing a disc perfectly through a bunch of trees is awesome.
• No matter what, it’s all about being outside and having fun.
I enjoyed playing the Richmond Hill Disc Golf course while visiting Asheville. I met some nice people along the way. The course is challenging… or from my perspective, thrilling. I guess the only thing missing was something the four of us talked about while waiting for a party of 8 to clear the line: A disc golf concession stand staffed by hotties in bikinis.
Though a garbage can or two along the way would be helpful, I should note that this Asheville course was 99.9% litter free which contrasts dramatically with the disgusting state of Cranbury Park Disc Golf Course in Norwalk, CT.
Thanks for such a nice course and kind reception this visitor got while visiting North Carolina.
