DISC GOLF AND THE SQUIRREL

So Friday July 5th my husband and I got invited by a couple of  friends who are also recent newly weds  to go play disc golf before the fireworks. We thought it sounded like fun so we said yes and headed to the park. After explaining how to hold the Frisbee for the best distance possible we started the game. (I should mention one of our friends is a disc golf pro) Anyway we start out and in the first through both I and Allison hit a tree that was only 15 yards away from the starting point.... Yes we are good aren't we!! 

We do get better....kind of. While only Guy (the pro) is staying mainly on target the rest of us are on occasion off hunting in the trees and undergrowth for our Frisbee  But as I was a fist timer, Adam(my husband) and Allison who have played a couple of other times we did get better as the game wore on.... Or so I thought I was. About the 8th "hole" out of the 11 we had decided to play it was my turn to throw so I did and off it went in to the trees that were dotted down the hill we were throwing down. As we headed down the hill to throw again to get closer to the hole, I went to find my Frisbee.... This is where the squirrel comes in. 

You see when I threw it off into the trees he must have been in the tree that my Frisbee  went through before falling to the ground. Well he wasn't in the tree anymore.... He was laying dead right next to my Frisbee  Quite  surprise and shock to find him there. Any closer and he would have been laying on or under it!! YES, I know it takes talent to hit a squirrel your FIRST EVER game of Disc Golf. Some people have that talent and other just are not as gifted in the area of Frisbee throwing to achieve this. My dad says I need to challenge myself and go for the flying squirrels next time instead of the ones that are sitting still on a branch. I told him" I would go for the challenge next time." I am excited to try this game again and hopefully we can play with them on some what of a regular basis.

....................Okay so I SHOULD tell you this one little bit of information before I post this.... Yes we played disc golf, Yes it was my first time, Yes it was lots of fun, Yes there was a dead squirrel, NO let me repeat that NO I did not kill him. My Frisbee landed almost on top of his dead body though as it was laying there. But it is a great story to tell!!! Stay tuned for our next adventure!!
