Over the weekend I had the opportunity to watch some disc hurling in the Tulsa City Championship Series #2. Everyone was there bright and early on a cold Sunday morning to put their best disc forward and hit a few birds. The turn out was good and everyone seemed to be in high spirits, I was anyhow!

I am new to the tournament scene and wanted to see how things went down. I am what you would call a "casual" player and never really thought too much about competing. After Sunday though, my opinion of playing in a tournament has changed. I am anxious to get out there and test my skills against others. The tournament participants were all friendly and eager to talk to you about disc golf. The attitude seemed to be the same at the tourney as it is when I am out throwing at my favorite park. Well, maybe they were a little more serious, but for the most part everyone was out there to have fun.

I would advise anyone that has not been out to a tournament to do so. It is not intimidating at all. I felt like everyone was on an equal playing field. The players competed in classes, ranging from recreation to professional. I would also advise getting a PDGA membership to save some cash in tourney fees and more importantly to support the sport that we love!
