Disk Golf Addict

             So I used to love Golf and I loved to walk.. I mean the golf cart Is fun when the turf is wet.. But I liked to keep an eye on my ball and head for it.. It was way off in the boonies,  always... Ha ha so
When I was in my 20's and some of my students introduced me to Disk Golf, I thought "no way there's actually have their on frisbee a for this". I mean we played when I was a little kid, but it was a whamooo* frisbee and we would find a nice big tree, or flag pole, Side of a house, and maybe a car if none was looking.. Ha ha ha
      Back on track.. When I found out there are 100's of course all over the US and they were free.... Awesome no more green fees, my Taxes have payed for this! Whoooo.. So I have played on an off through out my life.. Now I have Four boys.. Trying to have quality Time with 4 boys and not go broke , regular Golf was not the answer for that.. Disk Golf is!!!
     I  gave all my boys 3 disk this year for the price of one good around of Golf. A Putter, a fairway, and a Driver.. And we have been having fun.. So pumped that I was able to find a Great cheap practice basket on E-bay that's moveable ($79.00 even comes with the more disk) , and a great guy called Frisbeerancher who has disk at incredible cost...
    My youngest is 4 then 6, then 8, then 10... We have a blast..
So you can look up to sites.. DG (disk Golf) & PDGA (pro disk golf Assocation)  both of those sites will tell you where nearly all the parks are in the USA and even out side the states..
So if your looking for a way to Let go of some stress, spend some times with your kids that might invoke some laughter and some Oooo's an ahhhhhh's
   Check out Disk Golf and let the fun times begin!!!

                     Shot of the night! Totally fun!

Not just the Wagon but the map!

  I didn't just fall off the wagon, but i feel off the map too.. ha ha..
        how far off the Map did i go... it's been since June 16th since i have not done anything.. A year ago today I had lost 40 lbs and ran my first triathlon...
    A lot can happen in a year. I gained back that plus some. a total of 70 extra lbs in a year.. I joked that I swallowed a super model... Yeah 321 now... I can't really believe it ether.

Don't even know what to say, except for some how I feel my body has given up on me, even though I am still in it.

I am the midst of a quest personally, looking for desire & discipline  listing for God's voice for his inspiration and praying through.... Can't even put that into words it's  the start of a thought that never finishes it seems..

I am not searching for a blanket answer, I want a specific to me answer, one that speaks to who i am, what I should do,  What strength of His to I use, and how much of mine do I mix into...
 Yes I know..... I'm on a fence.... Or in a whole....

Physically just diminished trying to find away to start a fire. We all come to the points in our life I know, this just happens to be mine at this point in time. An I know that God will speak, just pray I am listing and don't miss what he has to say when he does..  Like this blog... Started it months ago, and finally just came back to it today.. I know it will come just don't know when yet. But. A change is coming.
 
       I know something has to change, awaken, catch on fire, or something... Maybe next year I will get to write about the 70 lbs I lost..

I also changed my blog title from "fatman to ironman" to just "the great red giant" ...
     Will I ever do an ironman some day, had you asked last year, I wold have told you, "half way there bring it on" this year I don't even know what to say about it anymore.

Things are going well, Family is Good Job is Good, just my body is in revolt.. Ha ha
    Have a great day guys. Thanks for your friendships. And hope to catch up with all of you soon.
