July 9th- Frisbee Golfing (or "Disc Golfing")

            I was prying my brain trying to think of what I can write for my non-textual reading. Then one day I figured it out. Frisbee golfing! Or Disc golfing whichever way you would like to call it. I prefer Frisbee golfing because it’s a Frisbee. Anyway back on my reading of the game, I realized before I decide to throw my Frisbee, I must first “read” my surroundings! For example when I walk up to the patch of cement to get ready to throw, first I glance around to see the obstacles that I must get by. Whether it be a tree, a creek, or even a person I must carefully read what could possibly affect my throw. Once I figure the obstacles out I then prepare my stance and my hold on the Frisbee. Most of the time I throw it underhand because I get better distance throwing it that way, but then again depending on what my reading on the surrounding obstacles were, I may need to throw it over-hand. Now even though I say all this I am not a pro Frisbee golfer, at all. Even if I read my surroundings, I will more than likely still hit that darn obstacle. It never really occurred to me that I was reading surroundings when I went out to play. Once I realized this it’s actually surprising to me how much things can be “read” that’s non-textual. If I weren’t in this class it would have never occurred to me that’s what I was doing!
