 Eric and Dusty at the CR course, specifically, The Bowl Hole Disc Golf, also referred to as Frisbee Golf (and I've even heard the term "Frolf"), is rapidly evolving to become the most-played sport in Humboldt, especially among the students.

Manila course is a close second because of its natural beauty, but loosing discs there is pretty much a given.
