What are these chain covered things in the park?

We went biking in a park on the other side of town this afternoon and saw these things all over the park. I'm baffled at what purpose they serve.

Frisbee or disc golf

Torn Rose · 2009-12-13, 05:12 PM

Pretty fun game if you have the right crowd, same thing as golf but with frisbee's/disk. The chains keep the disk from hitting the pole and bouncing out, you want it in the basket.

The one time I played I about got bit by a tortoise I didn't see... I swear he jumped from no where!

Cleo · 2009-12-13, 05:13 PM

I never even heard of it but I found the Wikipedia page on it after you told me what it was called.

Thanks for solving the mystery.

WTF dude, do animals just like to bite you.

I'm pretty sure that you are the only person that I've ever heard of that got bit by a tortoise. Was it a really slow bite?

Torn Rose · 2009-12-13, 08:10 PM

Yeah, something about my charm makes animals want to bite or lick me.

I had lost my disk in some dense bush and was looking for it when I stepped next to a "rock" and saw a beak come at my leg but i was just far enough away to avoid the bite. It was pretty good sized, biggest I've seen in that area by far.

Now when I was 12 and walking in a creek and almost stepped on a snapping turtle... well, that would have been bad had I not seen him first...

yeah yeah I remember those, my buddies, back in my late teens use to go to the park where those were at and play frisbee golf all high as hell - LOL, and in high 80 degree summers it wasnt to fun

MeatPounder · 2009-12-14, 01:00 AM

So that's what they are for!!!!

I knew they weren't put there for what my girl and I used them for.

Wow, I had no idea what it was, thanks for the enlightenment

Disc golf is a VERY fun game. There was a really nice brand new course that got put in near our house when I was 5-6, I wonder if it is still around, I think I'll have to take an adventure next summer and see if that course still exists and play a round. Fond memories playing there with my dad when I was little.

John-ACWM · 2009-12-15, 10:22 AM

A game I hear about for the 1st time.Sounds like a lot of fun.
