I have been playing since the late 80's. Those 'young whippersnappers' totally piss me off when they out-throw me.
: )
Seriously, though, it is encouraging to see so many young adults, children, and women out playing Disc Golf.
A friend of mine has been teaching his son to play ever since he could throw. His son is 9 years old now, and has been picked up by DYNAMIC DISCS to be sponsored as a PRO.

The the long drives in Disc golf are at least as complex a maneuver, as a drive in regular golf. I tried to imitate them, but simply lack the coordination. Nine years old (or younger) is probably a good time to learn those moves. I’m a few decades past the best-by date. Regardless, it’s a fun game, even if you’ll never be a pro.
