Remember September {Disc Golf}

We've been meaning to try out the local disc golf courses that Gregg has hunted down for a while now.  What's a better month for disc golf than September, I say!  We've tried three so far, and have had a blast at all of them.  The fall colors are just an extra special added bonus to the thrill of almost beating your husband at something (even though he's the one lugging the baby around on his back while throwing a frisbee at a target up to hundreds of yards away).  Even Cal and Sam seem to enjoy tossing a disc into the basket every once in a while.  Start 'em young!

First up: Snowbasin

3 September 2016

Can't beat those views!

Leaves changing that early up there!

The highlight of Snowbasin's course, for Cal, is
the fact that this super awesome playground is
right there, too.  So of course we had to make a stop
or two for some climbing and sliding and bottling
the boy.

Next one: Solitude (so not exactly local like I said above, but it was on our (yes, roundabout, scenic) way to visit the Blanchards in South Jordan one Saturday morning.  And it was lovely.

17 September 2016

We didn't ride the lift to the top and play down like the normal
people do.  We just wandered up the service road for a while,
then played the last 5 or so holes down.  This one was a bit more
advanced (understatement) than the others, but we still had fun.

Big Cottonwood Canyon is glorious!

They're my favorite.

We did have to wait our turn to throw because we
got behind a group of hardcore players (packed dozens
of discs in special packs and could really throw 'em!)

The last hole looked down over the village.

It was pretty spectacular.

Lastly (for September, anyway): North Fork Environmental Center
20 September 2016

This one was much more to our skill level
(meaning we could get par or even birdies on the holes)
which really boosts the confidence and fun level.

I liked their clever little hole names and maps.

This pic absolutely does not do the beauty of that area justice,
but you can get a bit of an idea.

It's located right up next to the base of Ben Lomond
Peak, so the sun sets super early and we played in
shadows even though it wasn't that late.

Happy golfers, that's us!
