Playing Frisbee

I am old school when it comes to playing frisbee. Growing up I remember throwing it around the park with friends and family. It was a fun activity.

Then I saw the dogs who can run and catch frisbees. That is pretty amazing.

A couple of years ago, one of my friends from high school came to Rockford for the weekend. His son was participating in an Ultimate Frisbee tournament out at Sportscore II.

That was pretty exciting to watch. it's kind of like soccer with frisbees.

Finally, disc golf is basically playing golf with frisbees instead of clubs and balls.

The first time I ever heard of Frisbee Golf (or Frolf) was on Seinfeld.
