When someone asked me recently what I'm into I didn't have answers. Existential crisis aside, what are some good hobbies/interests for someone in their mid thirties to pick up?

Disc golf. Most cities of moderate size have a course somewhere around and most are free to use. Can get started with 1 disc, about 10 to 12 dollars for a putter, all you'd need to start, or get a starter set of 3 discs for about 30 to 40 bucks at most sporting goods stores.

I've been addicted to disc golf for a decade, and while I'm still not very good, I still enjoy every single round so much.

There's so much benefit to squeeze out of the sport:

  • hiking
  • humility
  • healthy competitive spirit
  • self control
  • decision making
  • sight seeing

Disc golf changed my life, and I hope others find their way to it too
