Practice basket at Little Mulberry Park in Dacula, Georgia.

Who knew Georgia had such a strong disc golf scene?

Seriously, though. Who knew?

Back in Texas, there were more than enough courses within driving distance of San Marcos. I routinely spent time on Texas State University’s 21-hole tract, Steeplechase Park in nearby Kyle and on occasion, Circle C Metropolitan Park (which features two holes that are more than 800 feet in length).

Once I moved to Georgia, I bought some new discs — mainly because my old ones had seen better days and were overly friendly with jagged rocks — and searched Google for nearby courses. I couldn’t believe my eyes: They were everywhere.
