There are a lot of other words that people use to describe the things that happen on the course.  Words that are not in the dictionary, or in the general vocabulary of disc golf.  I&#8217;ve collected some interesting terms from other players, and from what I&#8217;ve read other players use them.  I&#8217;ll share the common ones, and some better ones that I didn&#8217;t find so common.<\/p>\n<p>I had a wonderful story sent to me two years ago.  A new player went to play a tour with his father, and there was a reporter and a photographer on the course from the local newspaper.  He asked if you could take a couple of photos of a story they were doing on disc golf.  The man said sure.  The photographer took his position about 50 feet from the edge of the lane;  The man evaded his drive and hit the cameraman&#8217;s yard in the chest with his driver.<\/p>\n<p>So awkward and funny now, but no one really wants to do that.  I love this story because it shows exactly why everyone wants to get better.  I&#8217;ve combined the terms I&#8217;ve learned over the past 30 years of playing golf.  Terms that will make you feel like you know what other people are talking about.  Disc golf is one of the fastest growing sports in the world.  One of the main reasons for its popularity is that players of almost any age can play.<\/p>\n<p>I play with guys half my age and I keep beating them.  I am 62 years old and in good shape.  I know old people who still play.  There are no restrictions.  If you can get around the course, you can play.  If you haven&#8217;t played before, you should.  If you are playing now, keep playing.  It&#8217;s a great exercise, and it&#8217;s a great way to socialize.  As far as sports go, they are also very inexpensive.  You can start with just three tablets.  driver, mid-range and batsman.  For just $30, you can get started.  Most of the courses are free to play.<\/p>\n<p>Common disc golf language <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <b>witty <\/b> Get the disc into the basket on the first shot <\/li>\n<li> <b>Heizer<\/b> Release the disc with its edge closer to your body and higher than the other edge. <\/li>\n<li> <b>Anheuser<\/b> The outer edge is higher than the inner edge. <\/li>\n<li> <b>unstable<\/b> The disc wants to go into the ground when you release it.
