Ever since my sister introduced me to it, I've loved playing. I'd imagine it would be doable for most paraplegics and possibly some quads, too.

Here is a picture of me at a disc golf course a few years ago.

So that's how it's played! There are plans for a course in my neighborhood and I had no idea how it worked. Thanks for the pic!

I love the piney woods, believe it or not we do have some here in Texas.

I played for years, but am still pretty stiff when it comes to being able to twist my core into a spring. But, am looking forward to throwing again.

Ah, yeah, I don't have the ability to twist that way because of the rods attached to my spine, so when I throw the disc it is all arm strength. It doesn't go as far as if I could do it the proper way, but I still have fun.

I finally have a video up of me doing one hole at a disc golf course. =)
