Over a year ago I discovered disc golfing at a local park here in Bloomington and have been impressed by the sport. It's much more physical than golf, getting one out and walking in a park or down hiking trails, and it's much more eco-friendly in that the playing course does not need watering and much extra care. In comparison to the golf, it is much more of a working-class sport - the very opposite of uppity. The only cost is that of the discs; most of the courses, around 87% says Wikipedia, are free. Even better, the courses use the natural environment for obstacles and don't look so aesthetically false like in golf.
Here are some related links to the sport:

The picture above is a course I found difficult in Eureka, Illinois, which on many fairways was like throwing down a forested hiking trail. The courses here Bloomington, while having trees, are more open.
