Frisbee / Disc Golf
Kentwood Park Memorial Bench | The park has the largest disc golf course in the area
A good frisbee is not cheap. It has to be adequately weighted, can self-balance mid-air after you throw it away, and has good aerodynamics so that it doesn't fall too fast or deviate from the path.
After a few days of frisbee-ing, my right arm really hurts. Oh I also played pickleball on the third day!
Frisbee in Teams
7 on 7. Oh man there was a lot of running, I'm filling my whole weeks exercise quota in an hour.
It's basically football but with a frisbee, and the goal is to catch the frisbee in opponent's goal box.
Pickleball
I don't know how this gained such popularity, especially among the older folks. Badminton is clearly more fun and aggresive to me!
In the fancy basement court in Research IV building. I went there >10 times. I also did my yoga sessions there lol. Love the drawing on the wall!
Spike Ball
This monday, when I was about to leave. Some of them will play till sunset.
Weekly events on Meetup, ~30 people meet on the huge Big Field at Dix Park. We play in the shadow, from afternoon to sunset
I was surprised that people remembered my name, even though I only went once before the last time.
6/24/24: I won my first 2 games! I joined late so other people are exhausted (they play from 4:30 to sunset, I played from 5:45 to 8). The 2 games were the last 2 before I left. I did try to apply tips other people taught me and I feel I'm getting better instead of deadweight lol. My teammates clapped my hand hard and it hurt.
Lacrosse
It was hard but seems very fun. I plan to practice it next time someone brings the gear.
Chess Club
Go Club
I'm so bad at this game.
Lock Picking
The art of physical penetrating against locks of all kinds.
See NTIT: Lock Picking.
Running
I ran 3 km in just 20 minutes, and I was shocked that I could do that!
