It’s such a pleasure to read about your passion for sports cars and racing, Tom. Your trips around the globe pursuing this hobby are so well captured and well written (not to mention exciting!). Thanks for sharing!

My newest and incredibly inexpensive hobby is disc golf. I picked it up last summer and have been playing pretty consistently ever since. It’s a blast! I love the challenge, and I really enjoy learning about the different types of throws, different discs/flight patterns, etc. The best part is that most courses are free to play because they’re located in state/county parks.

My god, that’s actually a really great idea: low cost of entry, but high level of complexity, thus requiring significant practice to build skill. Darts might also qualify. Your suggestion is really helpful. Believe it or not, I’m also considering making jam ... jalapeño jam. But that’s very seasonal.

I think you might really enjoy it. You can find quality starter sets (a putter, mid-range, and driver) for $20-30. If you decide to pursue it, take a peek at the UDisc app, too. You can track statistics and find courses on their map for free. (Can you tell I’m slightly addicted? 😅)

Darts would be a great option, too. And my goodness...jalapeño jam sounds incredible. All worthwhile pursuits in my book!
