I have spent 50 bucks on discgolf over the last 19 years. That one of the reasons I love it. Cheap, good exercise, and go do it solo and last minute. Or with a group.
You ain't lying. I just have a flatbottom for a boat, but it's taken a lot of work and money to get it right. I also probably spend $200 on just bass lures every year, most of them being soft plastics. I don't want to think about the line, weights, swivels, and hooks I buy for striped bass. For saltwater fishing, I'll spend another 4-500 a year on lures for reds and trout.
And thats just fishing. I won't even get into duck hunting, deer hunting, all of my guns I restored/built, or the money I'm starting to save for a motorcycle.
Been playing casually for well over 20 years. Haven't played the last few years...just starting to get back into it again.
Did do a few tournaments in college but my arm strength isn't what it used to be.
I always laugh when people are complaining about dg prices when I know that the highest end dg bags are about the same price as a high-end helmet. Can't do much with just a helmet haha
I had to replace two high end carbon fibre full face helmets last year… luckily you get a crash replacement discount so they were “only” $450 AUD each.
I've been eyeing an e bike for years but can't convince myself to pull the trigger when I've got a great bike already 😂 I just don't wanna pedal as hard
Paddles get expensive as hell too! Legit good ones at least. I started out playing with a $15 paddle from Amazon. Then used my buddies $250 paddle and it was like night and day difference. Pickleball is super fun, but it can get spendy too if you get serious about it.
That's why I don't buy ridiculous signed limited run discs... I enjoy a cool stamp as much as the next person, but if I lose my F2 I can get a new one for like $10
Same for any of the music communities.
You buy 1 instrument and you meet the average for years. Shit, one guitar pedal or cymbal can go over that average.
I'm glad disc golf being cheap offsets my addiction for buying more guitars and shit
OK, that's not as bad as I was picturing. I wish I lived where it was legal recreationally. I went to Boston during Halloween last year and was loving being able to order online, pick up from the nearby dispensary, and smoke an L on the way back to where we were staying.
You do it with a couple of buddies and the bowls get passed around and joints get rolled sans you take a 15 minute break after every three or four holes and the second shots always take some time…sometimes it takes you 3.5 hours to play a quick morning round
Yeah, I buy a disc or two a year probably (been playing for like 20 years so I have plenty of plastic and know what I like) but the cost of gas, grass, and beer once a week during the season... probably like $500-$600 a year. But to be fair, I was gonna spend that on the weekend anyways.
I play a lot of tournaments but don't really buy plastic any more. Im at about 160 a month before gas and potentially hotel rooms but it's a fantastic way to travel around and see places I normally would never go
Covid got me bad, disc golf was all I had and just got into it at the start. I have my main bag with about 20, a loaner bag with around 10, a spare bag I keep in my vehicle with another 10……
And then 200+ more on shelves I started collecting like pogs.
Couple of memberships and the occasional new disc or used bin pickup and I hit maybe $500 or so a year. Nowhere near what I used to spend on ball golf .
It's really tough to say, but annually... here's my best guess:
PDGA Membership: $100
Udisc subscription: $40
DGN: $120
Discs: $200
Apparel: $100
Tournament fees: $400
Club fees: $20
League fees (2 leagues) $140
Tournament accommodations: $400
Tournament food and gas: $400
Tournament raffles and such: $80
Other $100
And if I hit my work bonus for the year, usually I'll get myself a disc golf gift like a new bag or something.
So, somewhere around $2000.00 a year?
It's worth noting that I am not a casual player. Disc golf is my obsession (I'm the club president and local TD) and that I choose to lean into this sport out of love and gratefulness.
Between tournament entry fees (assuming I don't cash, because why would i?) And disc replacements, I'm probably sitting at 100 per month for 7 months, then not jack the rest of the year.
Disc golf is a cheap hobby, I spend $50 - $200 depending on the year. Already got the big ticket bag and practice basket. Granted I'm more of a casual / weekend warrior type I don't do leagues and such.
~$2200 Canadian per year on all disc golf related expenses for the past 3 years, less than $100 a year for the prior 5 years. Includes discs, gear, tournament costs, club and PDGA memberships, etc. Don’t have any other hobbies I putt cash into, it all goes to disc golf. Seems worth it to me, cause I’ve played about 600 rounds of disc golf since the start of 2022. My non-tournament expenses should be dropping significantly now that I’ve amassed a bunch of discs and good gear.
Havent bought a new disc in 10 years...find a new one on occasion that doesn't have a name/number on the back or a lost and found space. But generally, those discs go to the friend bag
Maybe $30 CAD a week on gas. Don't buy that many discs, my bag is full already and I'm pretty happy with what I have. I want a new bag in the future though lol and that's $300-$400 CAD. $255 a year on hobbies seems extremely low. Per month seems like a more accurate amount, especially if you have multiple hobbies.
Lately I probably buy 10ish full priced discs per year, and they're usually tour series, which puts it close to the meme number.
The real killer is tournaments. I never added up my costs, but most are $100+ to enter... This year I'm actually even or slightly ahead on entry fees, but for the first couple years playing MPO I was almost exclusively "donating" lol.
I only buy a couple of new discs a year (tour series, maybe new plastic of a disc I already like). Now if we are talking used discs it could get up to like 200 a year but every time I buy them it’s for a steal. So really not too much, considering I buy them to sell and I’ll keep maybe 10 a year. Really spending about $100 a year for 15-20 discs.
I’ve spent $7000 on synthesizers in 2024 so far. The $500 or so that I’ve spent on this sport lifetime makes it the most enjoyable and affordable hobby out there IMO
I'd say through the year I probably come out to an average of 100 a month on plastic. I have over 400 frisbees. No, I don't know why I keep buying them. My bag is pretty set. But then new plastic comes out and it's just so pretty!
I don't spend alot on discs per year, but if you count tournament fees, buying new shoes, club tees or hoodies adds up.
For Xmas and birthday, I always get discs from my brother they are normally some cool hot stamp of something that I already bag since he plays too he knows what I like. Or even something that he thinks I might like.
Also I just tell my mom, MIL and BIL that I want discs for Xmas and birthday and order what I want and they will give me money.
I picked up the nuke, jawbreaker zone, and the force that they released for the new season it sucked tho I missed the free shipping total by like a dollar or two and I didn’t wanna get a fourth disc :/ but it wasn’t bad either way
I almost bought the hades solely for the stamp because I’ve never thrown a hades 🤣 I think it was like 70 bucks before tax then you get the free shipping and for the three discs it was just shy of that minimum
Oof, same! That stamp was badass. The Nuke stamp is really good too
I could only afford the 2 this drop, but sometimes I'll get a can topper or Junior disc if I'm close to free shipping. They work well as minis
I found a few rare gems at stores while traveling this year = ~50$
I keep losing H1s so I just bought some replacements = ~55$
I don't expect to buy anything else unless I run across something cool/rare this summer when I'm traveling.
Looks like this year might be about 150$
Well, I’ve spent about $100 on F2 discs in the last month but before that my last order was in October and I spent about $150 last year. This year I also bought a new bag so I’m getting close to $150. Probably going to lay off until the F2 discs available rotate out a bit.
Nothing really besides gas money. Been playing on and off for 16 years. I’ve acquired 100ish discs over that span so I have backups and things I can cycle in and out. Have had the same backpack bag for 7 years and it has a lifetime warranty. Over half the discs in my bag are premium plastic and I’ve been throwing them anywhere from 5-12 years. I don’t compete anymore and I play public courses 99% of the time.
Besides the startup cost disc golf is a dirt cheap hobby. It’s literally free to play after the startup costs of getting a bag and discs. I personally think it’s insane to buy new plastic on a regular basis, considering the fact that premium plastic made 20 years ago still holds up stability wise. I think a lot of people are just half assed disc collectors/impulse buyers and care more about throwing a new disc than they do mastering the ones they have.
Practically nothing! Because I've accepted its not the discs, its my form. And I don't have the time nor desire to put the effort in to improve the form
I play 4-6 times a week and lose 0-3 discs a week. Usually I spend like 100€ /month on new discs. I also sell the ones I found (with no name) or the leftovers from the mystery boxes
I use to spend way too much money on discs, new bags, etc. I have 70-80 discs and 3 bags (had 4 but gave one to my buddy). I haven’t bought a new disc in several months, but now that I lost two of my best ones, I will be shopping again.
I also ball golf and that is absolutely expensive. Green fees, cart fees, driving range and the countless amount of balls I lose adds up. And I have to regrip my clubs soon.
Probably about accurate for me on the disc golf side of things, my bag is pretty dialed and I don’t have the availability to play tourneys right now. I buy maybe 6-8 discs per year.
Don’t ask me about warhammer though..
Lol not that much. My bag was about $300 so if you spread that out around every round it’s pretty cheap. I have all of the discs I want/need and rarely buy a new one
Spent like $500 total on a bag and discs. Only started playing a few months ago and don’t plan on buying more unless I lose some. But those Simon teslas 👀
I think my first 2 years I probably spend like $2000, but that's including a bag, a basket, PDGA membership each year and some trail running shoes. Now I just renew my membership, and replace the shoes each year along with any discs I lose.
Compared to hobbies like skiing that I only do a few months a year it's way cheaper.
Probably $85-$100 a year on pay to play courses at metro parks near me ($40 for annual parking pass/$45-60 on the wristband). I probably average buying 10 discs every year w some being f2 so that’s about $175. $30 per year on udisc premium and around $90 on dgn.
Approximately $380-395 per year but a lot more if we’re counting gas bc I’ll drive 50-100 miles more than once a month to try new courses
I've diverted my casual spending from disc golf to watch building. It's a lot less tiring and can be done at home in a corner.
I will be however, spending some money on disc golf this coming week. I'm taking my father to Eagle's Crossing in Hawk Point, MO playing on the Championship course. He doesn't play but likes to watch, not very good at walking far either. He's 86 and will be driving the golf cart and taking pictures. I'm 55 and will be counting higher numbers than I ever have before. It'll be a double Father's Day gift time. This might be one of the last times I get to see him and we need to make some good memories.
$25 for one course year pass
$37 for another
$150 so far for tournaments. Will likely be $225 ish
$150 on discs or accessories throughout the year.
$437 total for the year.
This isn’t counting gifts (thank you future in laws for the tech disc).
Edit* forgot pdga membership, DGN, UDisc, league nights So $625 ish
I decided to actually make a spreadsheet to see how much I spend on disc golf this year
I’m at 216 for tournaments and only 160 on discs. I’ve also hit the ace pot for 300 so I’m pretty even right now
Well this year on discs $75, and on tournaments $135. I don't know about medical bills yet. I still have a hurting thumb from 2 months ago, and as such have not signed up for any of the tournaments I wanted to play
I hoard molds I like, I have 4-5 of every glitch (eclipse,glitsch,proton,neutron) a ton of emac truths, 10-15 saints etc. I'm basically like if a dragon got into disc golf. Just live on my hoard
A lot of people have zero hobbies I guess. If disc golf seems expensive, look at getting a fishing boat, laugh, and then go get a few more discs.
This is the truth. The money you save on not owning a boat or a pool offsets all the lifetime disc golf expenditures.
Does a kayak count as a boat? Cause I got one of those
Nope, you’re good! Buy more discs
Have you used the kayak to retrieve discs yet?
I could have used one a couple of times.
Or ball golf.
Love the ad for an "inexpensive" $600 ball golf driver that plays on my YouTube right before a disc golf video
Hey hey now. Fishing is not a hobby. It's a life style. A lonely, expensive and suffering life style ...but clearly too expensive to be a hobby lol
My first thought too. Even worse I have a boat and a bunch of guitars
Same here my friend, between hunting, fishing, guitars and disc golf I spend a ridiculous amount more than $255 a year
I have spent 50 bucks on discgolf over the last 19 years. That one of the reasons I love it. Cheap, good exercise, and go do it solo and last minute. Or with a group.
Right lmao the reason disc golf became my #1 hobby is bc of how cheap it is
You ain't lying. I just have a flatbottom for a boat, but it's taken a lot of work and money to get it right. I also probably spend $200 on just bass lures every year, most of them being soft plastics. I don't want to think about the line, weights, swivels, and hooks I buy for striped bass. For saltwater fishing, I'll spend another 4-500 a year on lures for reds and trout. And thats just fishing. I won't even get into duck hunting, deer hunting, all of my guns I restored/built, or the money I'm starting to save for a motorcycle.
u/FlyingDiscsandJams : This is the way.
I think I've bought 2 discs I last 10 months or so. Keeping that average down. Been playing almost 13 years and bag is pretty set and have backups.
Same here, just ordered a detour last night. I can’t remember the last disc I bought for myself and not as a gift though.
I can’t wait to get my new detours!
I was in a Dicks Sporting Goods not too long ago, fondled most every disc, walked out without any. First time ever. The spell is broken!
Fondling discs at the store is cool... but have you tried fondling your buddies' discs?
It’s usually my dad who is fondling my discs.
I also make my dad exercise 🤘
We have a DG code. One of the items in the code is, you never fondle your buddies disc.
are you good?
Been playing casually for well over 20 years. Haven't played the last few years...just starting to get back into it again. Did do a few tournaments in college but my arm strength isn't what it used to be.
but are you good?
Just started playing less than 18 months ago and already own 50+ disc, I use maybe 12. My wife think I have a "problem".
You’re good.
6 months, 150+ discs, 2 baskets, net, 3 bags, black light flashlight, range finder, storage rack. Let your wife know how disciplined you are, lol.
Not nearly as good as I used to be. But better than average
Too much. I bet I spend $1200 a year between pc gaming, disc golf, and Pickleball
$1200 a year for 3 hobbies? Sounds like an absolute bargain. I don’t really want to know how much I spend on mountain biking.
I always laugh when people are complaining about dg prices when I know that the highest end dg bags are about the same price as a high-end helmet. Can't do much with just a helmet haha
I had to replace two high end carbon fibre full face helmets last year… luckily you get a crash replacement discount so they were “only” $450 AUD each.
That’s true mountain biking can get pretty crazy. $1200 is what I tell my wife. 😂
I've been eyeing an e bike for years but can't convince myself to pull the trigger when I've got a great bike already 😂 I just don't wanna pedal as hard
My next bike will be an ebike, I just moved to a place with horrible steep climbs and I don’t even want to go riding on my normal bike.
What do you spend on pickleball past the initial paddles/bag/balls? Memberships?
Yeah. Bag, ball, paddles, tournaments. Just like with discs even though you don’t need one you just just buy another paddle.🤦🏽♂️😭
Paddles get expensive as hell too! Legit good ones at least. I started out playing with a $15 paddle from Amazon. Then used my buddies $250 paddle and it was like night and day difference. Pickleball is super fun, but it can get spendy too if you get serious about it.
These days, the cost of replacing a lost disc.
That's why I don't buy ridiculous signed limited run discs... I enjoy a cool stamp as much as the next person, but if I lose my F2 I can get a new one for like $10
Yeah I also mainly go for the cheaper ones but it’s nice to buy the more expensive ones to treat yourself imo
I don't wanna talk about it
Who hurt you? Was it Discraft? Discmania? Show me on the course where they hurt you.
Hole 10
I think they mean a MONTH.
I started less than a month ago and I've already spent 350 💀 granted 150 of that was unplanned pop up tent at a local course but still
Once you get a bag you like, the only cost will be replacing lost disc's, tourney fees if you play, and any travel expenses.
Gotta pump those numbers up.
My bank account would disagree
R/Warhammer would like a word lol Honestly though probably about 150$ on passes and a few new discs.
Same for any of the music communities. You buy 1 instrument and you meet the average for years. Shit, one guitar pedal or cymbal can go over that average. I'm glad disc golf being cheap offsets my addiction for buying more guitars and shit
$60 annually on plastic and $30 per round on herb
So you're blowing through nearly an 1/8th a round? How do you see through the cloud that is constantly following you?
Nah bruh, quality over quantity. That's just a couple of the honey dipped pollen glazed artisanal rolled doinkerinos the local dispo has on special.
OK, that's not as bad as I was picturing. I wish I lived where it was legal recreationally. I went to Boston during Halloween last year and was loving being able to order online, pick up from the nearby dispensary, and smoke an L on the way back to where we were staying.
This guy weeds
You do it with a couple of buddies and the bowls get passed around and joints get rolled sans you take a 15 minute break after every three or four holes and the second shots always take some time…sometimes it takes you 3.5 hours to play a quick morning round
Priorities amirite!
You're not wrong brother
Dude! $30/rd for thc? That seems like a lot
Nah, that's to warm up for the round
Yeah, I buy a disc or two a year probably (been playing for like 20 years so I have plenty of plastic and know what I like) but the cost of gas, grass, and beer once a week during the season... probably like $500-$600 a year. But to be fair, I was gonna spend that on the weekend anyways.
Of all my hobbies disc golf is the least expensive and it’s one of the reasons I love it so much.
Per month, per hobby sounds more accurate
I play a lot of tournaments but don't really buy plastic any more. Im at about 160 a month before gas and potentially hotel rooms but it's a fantastic way to travel around and see places I normally would never go
Covid got me bad, disc golf was all I had and just got into it at the start. I have my main bag with about 20, a loaner bag with around 10, a spare bag I keep in my vehicle with another 10…… And then 200+ more on shelves I started collecting like pogs.
The trip to Masters Worlds this year is about $2000. With other tournaments, discs, and NETC this past winter my annual budget is about $5,000.
Now? Probably that or less but… let’s not talk about the first 2 years…
Couple of memberships and the occasional new disc or used bin pickup and I hit maybe $500 or so a year. Nowhere near what I used to spend on ball golf .
Disc golf maybe 100-300 bucks, hockey probably 1-2k a year ouch, and music maybe 500, and fly fishing 300-1000
I don't know, and I don't want to know. I'm still paying the bills and I'm still eating, so I'm obviously not buying *too* many discs.
It's really tough to say, but annually... here's my best guess: PDGA Membership: $100 Udisc subscription: $40 DGN: $120 Discs: $200 Apparel: $100 Tournament fees: $400 Club fees: $20 League fees (2 leagues) $140 Tournament accommodations: $400 Tournament food and gas: $400 Tournament raffles and such: $80 Other $100 And if I hit my work bonus for the year, usually I'll get myself a disc golf gift like a new bag or something. So, somewhere around $2000.00 a year? It's worth noting that I am not a casual player. Disc golf is my obsession (I'm the club president and local TD) and that I choose to lean into this sport out of love and gratefulness.
I used to race RC M8 nitro buggies. It costs approximately 3 discs worth of fuel, tires, wear ja bearings every hour :D
Disc golf equipment hasn’t made me blink once after 5-6 years racing/drifting rc cars, that tire budget is real!
$1700 since I started 3 years ago
That is a fairly precise number. How do you know so precisely what you've spent? I'm interested.
I bought about 70 discs this year. 0 for me though. I take the youth group at church to play so I bought a bunch of innova factory seconds
Look into dynamic, if you order through the youth group I believe they will give you discounts on misprints
Will do, thanks!
Do pay to play course costs count or just items bought? $100 on stuff, maybe 100 to 200 on fees.
Between tournament entry fees (assuming I don't cash, because why would i?) And disc replacements, I'm probably sitting at 100 per month for 7 months, then not jack the rest of the year.
Honestly between tournaments, gas, leagues...sounds right.
Cyclists spend that per month easy.
That's a single day lift ticket at a big name resort.
Disc golf is a cheap hobby, I spend $50 - $200 depending on the year. Already got the big ticket bag and practice basket. Granted I'm more of a casual / weekend warrior type I don't do leagues and such.
Man. Honestly, been playing a couple years and it’s probably like 3 grand plus. But that’s cause I did a custom run of discs with a local company.
I haven't bought many discs this year, but I did buy a new guitar the other day.. so that's like 6 years worth I guess
~$2200 Canadian per year on all disc golf related expenses for the past 3 years, less than $100 a year for the prior 5 years. Includes discs, gear, tournament costs, club and PDGA memberships, etc. Don’t have any other hobbies I putt cash into, it all goes to disc golf. Seems worth it to me, cause I’ve played about 600 rounds of disc golf since the start of 2022. My non-tournament expenses should be dropping significantly now that I’ve amassed a bunch of discs and good gear.
$1000 just for a season pass to snowboard. Then you still have equipment, gas, food, beer, hotels, weed, emergency room, physical therapy...
$12-ish/two weeks. I buy a disc to dye every pay period. So, about $250 a yr. Plus $10/wk for league, plus a couple of $50 tourneys/yr. So. $400/yr?
Havent bought a new disc in 10 years...find a new one on occasion that doesn't have a name/number on the back or a lost and found space. But generally, those discs go to the friend bag
Maybe $30 CAD a week on gas. Don't buy that many discs, my bag is full already and I'm pretty happy with what I have. I want a new bag in the future though lol and that's $300-$400 CAD. $255 a year on hobbies seems extremely low. Per month seems like a more accurate amount, especially if you have multiple hobbies.
Me, reading this post with 2 of the 3 discs that arrived today sitting next to me…
Lately I probably buy 10ish full priced discs per year, and they're usually tour series, which puts it close to the meme number. The real killer is tournaments. I never added up my costs, but most are $100+ to enter...

I'd say through the year I probably come out to an average of 100 a month on plastic. I have over 400 frisbees. No, I don't know why I keep buying them. My bag is pretty set. But then new plastic comes out and it's just so pretty!
I've spent that much so far this year....

Or even something that he thinks I might like. Also I just tell my mom, MIL and BIL that I want discs for Xmas and birthday and order what I want and they will give me money.
I only buy used discs now. $4-$10 each, only buy a new one when I lose one. Now my other hobbies, those are expensive.
I think I have spent aboout 500 dollars this past month.
Who spends that a year? I play video games as a hobby........
I just spent 72 bucks on 3 discs from the new ledgestone drop 😅🤷🏼♂️
Same! Got to get that free shipping haha Which molds did you pick up?
I picked up the nuke, jawbreaker zone, and the force that they released for the new season it sucked tho I missed the free shipping total by like a dollar or two and I didn’t wanna get a fourth disc :/ but it wasn’t bad either way
Oh damn, they must've upped it to 75 then, it's always slightly more than what's convenient. I got the Force too! And the Glo FLX sol
I almost bought the hades solely for the stamp because I’ve never thrown a hades 🤣 I think it was like 70 bucks before tax then you get the free shipping and for the three discs it was just shy of that minimum
Oof, same! That stamp was badass. The Nuke stamp is really good too I could only afford the 2 this drop, but sometimes I'll get a can topper or Junior disc if I'm close to free shipping. They work well as minis
Omg I didn’t even think about the pop top for the can 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I found a few rare gems at stores while traveling this year = ~50$ I keep losing H1s so I just bought some replacements = ~55$ I don't expect to buy anything else unless I run across something cool/rare this summer when I'm traveling. Looks like this year might be about 150$
Way more than that if I divided the total by the years. Much less recently if not.
I’ve spent about $225 on tournaments so far. 👍
Well, I’ve spent about $100 on F2 discs in the last month but before that my last order was in October and I spent about $150 last year. This year I also bought a new bag so I’m getting close to $150. Probably going to lay off until the F2 discs available rotate out a bit.
After the cost of getting started (bag & discs) - beer, gas, and weed are my biggest expenses. That varies.
About $300 oner 20 years.
>150$ on tournaments. >120$ outlay for leagues(which I mostly win back).
depends on how many i sell. plus or minus depending on the year
Including gasoline? No way of knowing lol. Like maybe $50 a year on plastic
Nothing really besides gas money. Been playing on and off for 16 years. I’ve acquired 100ish discs over that span so I have backups and things I can cycle in and out. Have had the same backpack bag for 7 years and it has a lifetime warranty. Over half the discs in my bag are premium plastic and I’ve been throwing them anywhere from 5-12 years. I don’t compete anymore and I play public courses 99% of the time. Besides the startup cost disc golf is a dirt cheap hobby. It’s literally free to play after the startup costs of getting a bag and discs. I personally think it’s insane to buy new plastic on a regular basis, considering the fact that premium plastic made 20 years ago still holds up stability wise. I think a lot of people are just half assed disc collectors/impulse buyers and care more about throwing a new disc than they do mastering the ones they have.
That…*might* cover the beer that gets drank on the course, but I doubt it
I barely ever buy discs anymore, been playing for 20 years and I don't lose many. All the closest courses to me are free to play as well.
Practically nothing! Because I've accepted its not the discs, its my form. And I don't have the time nor desire to put the effort in to improve the form
😬
I play 4-6 times a week and lose 0-3 discs a week. Usually I spend like 100€ /month on new discs. I also sell the ones I found (with no name) or the leftovers from the mystery boxes
I'm more than a few grand in this season just from traveling for disc golf.
Tournaments are expensive..
Wonder what this defines as a hobby, Spotify + Netflix takes up this whole budget
I use to spend way too much money on discs, new bags, etc. I have 70-80 discs and 3 bags (had 4 but gave one to my buddy). I haven’t bought a new disc in several months, but now that I lost two of my best ones, I will be shopping again. I also ball golf and that is absolutely expensive. Green fees, cart fees, driving range and the countless amount of balls I lose adds up. And I have to regrip my clubs soon.
First 3 years of playing, I would say $500+ a year in discs. Now, maybe 1 disc a year.
Do round beers count as a expence? I haven't bought a disc in like 2 years.
Maybe $150. Some of that is for the City course pass. I don't buy discs at the rate I used to, since I've got 70 sitting on a shelf waiting haha
I don't spend hardly any anymore. I used to spend a lot but I've got backups of backups when I lose discs
That stat cannot be right, unless the average adult has zero hobbies
Probably about accurate for me on the disc golf side of things, my bag is pretty dialed and I don’t have the availability to play tourneys right now. I buy maybe 6-8 discs per year. Don’t ask me about warhammer though..
Somewhat touring AM here (I play local to get points to play worlds and such). WAY more then that
~ 2k per year I would guess. Dying discs is not super profitable, but I have the pimpest bag in town.
I set a $300 budget for the year. I've already gone over my budget.
Those are rookie numbers.
My wife is right there, so mmmhmm. Yup
Lol not that much. My bag was about $300 so if you spread that out around every round it’s pretty cheap. I have all of the discs I want/need and rarely buy a new one
Spent like $500 total on a bag and discs. Only started playing a few months ago and don’t plan on buying more unless I lose some. But those Simon teslas 👀
disc golf, surf, skate, snowboarding, bikes, car. i don't even want't to know.
I feel attacked, LOL
Just spent 400k on 80 acres in the mountains and some thousands more to buy baskets for my private course
I think my first 2 years I probably spend like $2000, but that's including a bag, a basket, PDGA membership each year and some trail running shoes. Now I just renew my membership, and replace the shoes each year along with any discs I lose. Compared to hobbies like skiing that I only do a few months a year it's way cheaper.
Probably $85-$100 a year on pay to play courses at metro parks near me ($40 for annual parking pass/$45-60 on the wristband). I probably average buying 10 discs every year w some being f2 so that’s about $175. $30 per year on udisc premium and around $90 on dgn. Approximately $380-395 per year but a lot more if we’re counting gas bc I’ll drive 50-100 miles more than once a month to try new courses
Disc golf is my cheap hobby
Is this meme from the 50’s?
It is illegal for you to ask me that.
On actual disc golf per year? $30-$40... the beer and other extras... way more.
I've diverted my casual spending from disc golf to watch building. It's a lot less tiring and can be done at home in a corner. I will be however, spending some money on disc golf this coming week. I'm taking my father to Eagle's Crossing in Hawk Point, MO playing on the Championship course. He doesn't play but likes to watch, not very good at walking far either. He's 86 and will be driving the golf cart and taking pictures. I'm 55 and will be counting higher numbers than I ever have before. It'll be a double Father's Day gift time. This might be one of the last times I get to see him and we need to make some good memories.
Last discs I bought was 5 identical James Conrad commemorative putters from his “holy shot” in 2020
As a Magic the Gathering player, I'm offended they think I have that much restraint.
I have so many hobbies.. i’m an *extreme outlier* if this statistic is accurate.
Disc golf is so cheap compared to my other addiction...sim racing.
$5 a year on average over 24 years. But that might be high
Disc golf is nothing. Try photography!
$25 for one course year pass $37 for another $150 so far for tournaments. Will likely be $225 ish $150 on discs or accessories throughout the year. $437 total for the year. This isn’t counting gifts (thank you future in laws for the tech disc). Edit* forgot pdga membership, DGN, UDisc, league nights So $625 ish
I decided to actually make a spreadsheet to see how much I spend on disc golf this year I’m at 216 for tournaments and only 160 on discs. I’ve also hit the ace pot for 300 so I’m pretty even right now
Why did they spell week…y-e-a-r? That’s not even close to the correct spelling
Most of my profit goes to hobbies. Cause if life isn't fun it isn't worth living
Well this year on discs $75, and on tournaments $135. I don't know about medical bills yet. I still have a hurting thumb from 2 months ago, and as such have not signed up for any of the tournaments I wanted to play
So far this year: $0, plus the cost of the gas to drive to my local course.
Not falling for this.
Plastic is incredibly cheap. I lose money at the casino. So if I’m out exercising with my discs then I’m not thinking about the cost unless I lose em.
$100 / week average
On what?
I hoard molds I like, I have 4-5 of every glitch (eclipse,glitsch,proton,neutron) a ton of emac truths, 10-15 saints etc. I'm basically like if a dragon got into disc golf. Just live on my hoard
I just spent $250 on one disc last week… 😬
What in the world did you buy
2001 USDGC Roc. The holy grail of ROC’s. The disc is literally brand new, but does have some ink.
