The NewsHouse reporter plays a round with Central New York Disc Golf Association members.

They play in anything except rain. Rain makes for muddy shoes, and worse, muddy frisbees. I mean, discs.

“These are discs, not frisbees," said Eric Trippany, president of the Central New York Disc Golf Association. "Discs are heavier, smaller and flatter.”

To a pro, the distinction between disc and frisbee is as important as the difference between a footbag and a hacky sack: one is for kids; the other is for men.
