Maybe I'm Not Being Clear

The other morning I was going about my business and happen to be carrying a disc golf bag. This nice old gentleman approaches and the conversation that ensued went something like this:

Old gentleman: Excuse me maam. I'm not from round here. I'm from Georgia, so I haven' seen this yet. What is disc golf?

Me: Well sir, they have disc golf everywhere, even Georgia. It's very much like regular golf. You have different discs for driving, approaching, and putting, and there are special targets that you aim for with them.

Old gentleman:(after a confused silence): Do you have to hit them with your club?

I think maybe I need to practice explaining this better for the future.
