Get Rich Quick
The new series of Fortune Tellers on 大象传媒 Radio Scotland prompts me to point you in the direction of a money-making scheme. My recently posted a blog about disc-golf. Having never heard of this before, I was intrigued and asked her for more information.
She tells me:
Frisbee golf is like regular golf, except you play with frisbees (typically with special disc golf discs and not, like, ultimate frisbee discs or the normal kind you throw at the dog). There's a tee (typically a long, concrete space for an approach and launch) and the hole is really a basket you're trying to make your frisbee land in. The holes have a par usually clearly marked at the tee. The discs come in all varieties - long range driver, mid range driver, approach and putt, etc. (Typically a hole is 400-600 feet from tee to hole)
Basically, you walk around a park throwing a frisbee at a metal basket.
( It's really entertaining. Some people get very complicated about it, but basically you walk around a park throwing a frisbee at a basket. I got into it somewhere along the way in college. We had an eighteen hole course on campus and I hung out with some serious Ultimate Frisbee enthusiasts, so disc golf seemed like a perfectly normal thing to do for fun.
She adds:
The says y'all have three courses in the entire country. You probably could make a fortune. Because I hear regular golf is popular there.
You know, she's right. Not only does this appeal to Scotland's love of golf, but it appears to require minimal equipment and skill. I'm going to mention this to our sports department. Maybe we can even get a charity tournament going for this year's Children In Need appeal.
Anyone for disc golf?
