I never thought that Disc Golf could be viewed as a sport for geeks, but I suppose it is completely possible.  After all, I am a geek and play disc golf on a daily basis, so why wouldn't other geeks get into the sport?  Wel an author at Wired.com has written a sweet little peice about the sport and can be found At This Link .

To quote from the original article):

I would not have expected disc golf to be a geekish sort of activity -- it involves fresh air and sunshine, it was never featured on Star Trek -- but a surprising number of my geek friends have discs. Not as in "I have a promotional A&W Frisbee in my closet" but actual, official, PDGA-approved disc golf golfing discs.

(Yes, PDGA. There are professional disc golf players. I know, I know. I imagine they think the same thing when they hear there are professional video game players.)

I suspect the official expensive discs are part of the appeal.

Purchasing precision-engineered, high-tech versions of things most people get out of yard sale quarter boxes is part of the geek lifestyle, or "geekstyle." There are dozens of discs with various aerodynamic properties made out of a variety of exciting materials.

Some are even named after fantasy characters, like the "Orc." Imagine trying that with golf clubs: "This driver is called the Nazgul 3000. It's a great club, but I wouldn't use it near a water hazard! Heh, you see, because of the magic elf horses in the river. When the hobbits were ... hey, come back!"

The other part of the appeal is Tron.
