    I still have not truly accepted Frisbee/Disc golf as any sort of correlatable activity that mimics or embraces Golf as I know and love it. I am all for people doing whatever they find to be a fun pursuit and time well spent (with same extreme exceptions most tolerant people what would be having and suches. Never played it - don't plan on it - hope the players are having great fun though of course.

    Today - exploring a local Portland course that is alleged to have a certain small bridge over a certain little creek where all players must cross to enter the start of the fairway on this shorter length Par 4 golf hole.

    Not all who pass experience the issue, but many golfers where being mocked by a self-proclaimed Troll who resides in the rock wall on the south of this said small bridge as what was mentionables up before - I thinks, no I didn't so know I am. The usual Troll torment is a tug on the shoelaces by a quick unseen hand - however, if one locks onto the spot that it seems the Troll reached up - there will be  pair of eyes that stare-hard at each golfer. One eye is green, the other is light blue. That there would put me of my lunch, my game, and maybe a little paranormal panic and such. Then after locking eyes and not breaking the stare this Troll mutters the same phrase to all:

    "If You Want Safe Passage - Pay Your Toll To The Troll"

    That's the checkmate for those who stand ground that long and the lot of them just open up their wallets and drop 5 or 10 dollar bills down below. Wow - I apologize for getting off topic but everyday that Troll squats under that bridge he grows stronger and everyday that I am not out their challenging him to a gentlemans duel, I grow weaker. Did you know Troll spelled backwards - "Llort" - is a known name of a Class7A-Beta Alien Cargo Spacecraft used to facilitate the colonization process?

    Ok - So.....FootGolf.....Wow....Really?
    Need a break after floating off-topic and ranting - be back to finish this.

    Thanks for listening - I needed to taklk about it.
    Sincerely, I am Yancy

    Great vid Stobsbee.

    The course they filmed it on is called Bridlington Links....a beautiful course, I've played it a couple of times and was there earlier this year.

    It can be a stinker when it's blowing but catch it on a calm sunny day, and with 4 of it's holes played on the cliff edge with sea and town in the distance.......superb!
