While David listened to farming lectures I played disc golf with my sister Faith and her family. She's professional. She's won tournaments! She plays like 3 times a week and her trunk is FULL of disc golfs. She's even in the Chains Movie. If you watch the minutes on the trailer, she's at 1:58-2:05. So, I thought "If I only have one day with my sister - I'm totally going to play disc golf with her."
In high school, we always played frisbee with my Dad out on our lawn. I'm a decent frisbee thrower if I say so myself. So when I thought of disc golf I figured...no big deal. You throw a frisbee into a basket. That sounds easy. Little did I know that it takes intense skill, technique, strategy and power! Check out Rob's aggressive form here (my brother in law).
I took one of Faith, but I think she deleted it when I wasn't watching...
Here's my pathetic attempt at throwing my disc golf far and straight....mine curved left and landed in a grove of trees where we had to hunt for it. This spot is called "Top of the World." It overlooks Santa Cruz.
We were at De Laveaga Disc Golf Course which happens to be "one of the most highly rated disc golf courses in the world. It is famous for its inspiring natural setting, as well as for its uncompromising challenge."

Kaylee, my niece throws a pretty good side arm.
Rolling your disc is an actual technique used by pro's. Orion is practicing it here ;)
So...that was disc golf.
