Mission Statement

Worm Burners is a disc golf blog for the masses. We are not here to make you better at disc golf or to provide you with the skills to be great at disc golf: we admittedly lack those skills ourselves. Rather, we three dudes are here to promote the playing of disc golf by all. Disc golf is quite possibly the greatest use of free space and plastic that one could ever create, and it's our goal to help you to understand it.

Where to begin? Well, disc golf is quite inexpensive. At the very least, you need a single disc, which you could find for $7 at a sporting goods store or 7-Eleven. Most courses are free to play, meaning that the initial investment in a disc or discs is all you need (as long as you don't lose a disc in the woods or a river). Disc golf is a good way to exercise. It's like taking a good walk, while occasionally taking a break to throw a 150 gram piece of plastic. You can work up a pretty decent sweat playing disc golf, so it's certainly a viable method of exercise. Most importantly, disc golf is fun, and that is why more people need to play this game.

Before I proceed, I must clarify that disc golf is not good for one thing: meeting women. The only time you will see a woman playing at your local course is if she is with a male friend or a husband/boyfriend. Spotting a solo-woman at a disc golf course is the equivalent of seeing a sasquatch riding a unicorn toward a leprechaun's pot of gold. It is the rarest of rare occurrences on the disc golf course. The fine folks here at Worm Burners will be ever vigilant in trying to spot the lone disc golf female.

In the case that you've come here with a thorough understanding of disc golf, do not be worried. This blog will certainly feature enough to keep you interested. We plan on posting a number of features to both entertain and amuse both beginners and long time players. Interviews with dudes? They will be here. Interactive features that encourage reader interaction? You bet. Synopses of rounds at our local courses? YES! There will be something for all disc golf players to enjoy.

If you have come here hoping to improve your game and to become a world-class disc golf player, then prepare to be disappointed. Even so, we encourage you to stay and take a look around, as we're sure you will all find something to your liking. We plan on providing frequent, varying posts to keep all readers completely satisfied. We welcome your feedback, as we strive to truly represent disc golf for the masses. Worm Burners will become the premier destination for promoting the enjoyment of disc golf.

It goes without saying, finding a group of women playing disc golf is as rare as stumbling upon said Sasquatch wailing away on his guitar with the unicorn on keyboards and the Leprechaun rocking it out like Bonzo on the drums.

Sasquatch plays a Flying V, if you were wondering.
