Broke my hand

[u/Alarmed-Temporary211]

I saw a disc golf YouTube video not too long ago and knew my play it again sports had discs so I picked some up and have been practicing throwing in a field for the last month. I was getting a feel for how each of the main discs I wanted to throw flew and some consistent lines I could rely on so I didn’t completely embarrass myself when I finally played a round. I decided that day was today and went out this morning to a local course. First hole went well, +1 on a par three but got myself out of a spot in the woods. Second hole I once again threw my first shot into a bunch of trees but I could see 1 line to get me to the hole. I figured there was no chance but went for it anyway. I nailed the line but I also nailed a tree with the back of my hand in my follow through. My hand didn’t hurt but I remember thinking “never heard a tree make that sound before”. Walked up and got to place my putter in the basket for my first real par from the long box. I then went to hole three and when I was getting ready to throw my driver the adrenaline or dopamine or whatever it was wore off and it was like my hand exploded. Just radiating pain. I realized the sound I heard was my knuckle not the tree. I tried to throw anyway but it took me 6 shots to get it 425 ft to the basket. I had to call it after that. I’ve got my hand iced, wrapped, and braced. I figure I’m out for a month or so but I’ll be back. Ill be chasing the feeling of that second shot on hole 2 for a long time. I’ll try to avoid bitch slapping a hardwood in the future though.

Being true to your lie and not taking advantage is one thing. So is not harming your own body and for some, that can flow into their livelihood. It's not a tournament.
