Golf balls hitting the house. Golf balls hitting your car. Golf balls landing in your pool. Golfers retrieving golf balls from your yard. Golfers draining the lizard on your bushes. And so forth.
park the car in the garage, no pool, a tall fence with a gate to allow access for my golf cart, I don't see a problem....... bushes like to be watered

Even so, free golf balls is of no benefit to him if he doesn't golf. Unless of course he wants to open a business that sells used golf balls. And if that is the case, there are much more cost effective ways of obtaining them than purchasing golf course adjacent property parcels.

Do you guys still carry long irons.  I admit, I'm still limber and carry and hit a 2, 3 and 4 iron, but increasingly I see guys using several rescue clubs throughout the round.   Im guessing at some point I won't have that flexibility and torque for many more years.

Ugh. Disc "golf". 

When I see friends saying "I shot -11 today on the course" I do a double-take until I realize they're playing a sport that doesn't understand that "par" means excellence and therefore the disc golf scoring system is just PoA.

You don't have a 3 car garage with room for your golf cart?

Err... Better question. Considering how much you play golf you prioritizing keeping your car in the garage and leaving your golf cart exposed to the elements?

I carry [and hit] down to the 3 iron. I'm still able to get enough clubhead speed to get it up in the air.

Those that take it way too seriously play every hole as a part 3. So an 11 under by that metric would be insane. But if instead they are going by the par that the course recommends it might not be so hot, if there are a bunch of long, par 4/5 holes.

I took the 3 and 4 iron out of the bag years ago.  Tough to hit consistently and I hit the 5 iron as far as the 4 iron, about 200 yards.

I carried a 5 wood and 3 wood.  

I tried a couple different hybrids / rescues because they are supposed to be easier to hit well and more forgiving.  Couldn't make them work.

Went to a 7 wood.  It works.

This summer I got a 3 iron / driving iron from a friend.  This is for shots I need to keep low.  The 7 wood gets too much loft for some shots.

Punching a low shot out of trouble and under trees has always been tough for me.  the 3 iron helps.

I think I was at least 30 before I found out that people played disc golf "seriously".  I assumed it was just an excuse to go smoke pot in the woods.

Granted golf is just an excuse to go drink beer for 4 hours

But yeah, more seriously, that's my issue with disc golf. It seems like the scoring is designed to make you feel good about yourself. Golf is supposed to be frustrating. It's supposed to be hard. For a duffer like me, a birdie is an event worth seriously celebrating. Heck, on "real" courses (not my little exec course) I'm extremely pleased just to make par. 

I feel like disc golf, as a new sport, wanted to make things easy enough to keep from discouraging new people, which means anyone with moderate ability can destroy a course. Whereas with real golf, moderate ability and a bit of practice means you should aspire to play bogey golf.

I still do prefer to walk if possible.   I find cart golf leads to more lost or missing balls, as you never approach the ball from the same angle especially when you're cart mate hooked it when you sliced it.  Plus the logistics of staying away from the green.  People forget or lose clubs or you need that lob wedge and you grabbed the gap, while the partner has driven off.

I'd go crazy w the mowers all the time. And then ever listen to a guy change a hole location in the morning? If they are doing correctly  Its loud and happens before I'm awake. 
No problems with noise. New hurricane/UV windows (4 pane) negated any of that.
