Disc Golf Can Turn Your Walk Into a Workout
This surprisingly fun sport changes a stroll in the park into an afternoon adventure with a flying piece of plastic.
Until a few weeks ago, the only thing I knew about disc golf was that I probably wouldn't like it. I'm great at throwing parties but awful at throwing anything else. But in a recent bid to spice up our humdrum family walks, I took my kids to a nearby park, which, it turns out, has a disc golf course. That was my first surprise. My second surprise was that I loved it.

飞盘高尔夫可以把你的散步变成锻炼
这项令人惊讶的有趣运动将公园里的漫步变成了午后的探险，而需要用到的探险利器仅仅是一片会飞的塑料。
直到几周前，我对飞盘高尔夫的唯一了解是我可能不会喜欢它。我擅长举办派对，但不擅长举办其他任何活动。但最近为了给我们单调的家庭散步增添趣味，我带我的孩子们去了附近的一个公园，结果发现那里有一个飞盘高尔夫球场。这是第一个惊喜。第二个惊喜是我喜欢它。
