Before you commit

Disc Golf

  • Bushwhacking for lost discs in the rough would sour every round.
  • Throws that curve hard left no matter your aim would enrage you.
  • You want consistency now, not after years of reading flight.

Yoga

  • Shaking through a held pose and counting breaths would put you off.
  • You want it always serene, not sweaty, humbling, and uncooperative hamstrings.
  • Comparing yourself to the person on the next mat would discourage you.
