Hello DTube and Steemians!

It's Friday, that means date night! Next up is Creative Date #42 Frisbee Golf, from my book entitled 101 Creative Dates: ideas, tips, and personal experiences from the life of a hopeless romantic. I love creative dates. It is fun to come up with a new idea or put a twist on a classic idea and take a girl out and have fun. I had all kinds of ideas and personal experiences with dating, so I made a book about it and recently published in on Amazon. I decided to post each chapter of my book for free here on Steemit, but if you would like to buy the book you can find the link at the bottom. Don't let "Netflix and Chill" be the default for your dates! Married, dating someone, single, there is something for everyone!

Frisbee Golf

A great group date idea that blends athletics with conversation and fresh air is Frisbee golf, otherwise known as Disc golf, which is the proper term for it.
Frisbee golf can be played on the beach or basically anywhere that has open space. There are actually parks out there that have a legitimate Disc Golf course, which consists of Metal Baskets that serve as targets. You can also just set up cones and try to hit them with your Frisbee.
First, you set up the course by putting the cones or objects in different locations around the park or beach. If you lucked out and are playing on an actual disc golf course, then you won’t need to set anything up, you will just need your discs. Next, you have a starting point where you will throw the Frisbee. The object of the game is to hit the obstacles in as few throws as possible. You throw the Frisbee and if it doesn’t hit the first time, then you pick it up where it landed and try again, setting up the course so that the distances vary from long to short. If played in a group date scenario you could compete as teams. Maybe you could mix it up for each hole, too, like on one hole you have to both hold and throw the Frisbee, the next hole, maybe you have to throw it between your legs or over your head, etc. Have fun with it.

What you need for this date:

You need a Frisbee and cones or objects to use as the “holes,” an open location to play in, or you need to find a disc golf course and bring the special discs, which you can buy online or at places like Big 5 Sporting Goods. This date is really cheap, maybe even free if you already have the equipment, and is fun for the whole group.

My experience with this date:

I have played Frisbee golf and Disc golf a bunch of times, on the beach and in the park, with big groups. After dinner one evening, I took my date to the park and we played some disc golf. She had never heard of the game, but since she liked playing miniature golf and ultimate Frisbee she was intrigued when I described the game to her. We had a blast searching out our targets and letting the discs fly to their intended destinations, which can be a tricky feat at times. The disc doesn’t always want to go the direction you want; sometimes it has a mind of its own and decides to curve the wrong way and land even further away than where you started. Yeah, good times, if that happens to your opponent. My date got a bit frustrated, but had loads of fun. She just needed a bit more practice, like most new things we try. It was a great first date activity. It gave us time to talk as well as have some friendly competition.
