Personal Narrative: Disc Golf

The most important memory of Disc Golf for myself is the first time I had experienced a round with my brother Dylan. Growing up as a child I had always admired Dylan and looked up to him as a role model. Any idea or activity that had popped into his would usually be pushed upon me for trial. He always seemed to introduce me to ravishing new music and movies but this time was different. The game was Disc Golf and when it was mentioned, my body language portrayed the excited emotions I was feeling inside. Not only was I excited for the game, but I got to enjoy time with Dylan which had been rare around that time frame. That day gave me a different perspective on the game of Disc Golf and how it can change one's life and relationships with others for the better.

He proceeded to talk himself up, as I stood by and took mental notes of his feet position and arm angle. For a split second I had looked away and missed the throw, now I was stuck. Slowly but surely I made my way onto the cement tee pad and anticipated Dylan's input for advice, but it never came. Confused, I proceeded to think about my shot and where I wanted to put the disc. Thanks to my peripheral vision, I adjusted my shot accordingly to avoid the burly pond twenty feet off to the left. Confidence took over and I took my shot. The disc soared in a straight line which eventually evolved into a right to left flight pattern landing around two hundred feet away from the hole. Walking up to my shot gave me a sense of feeling I did not feel very often,
