thocation

A thocation is a portmanteau blending the words "throw" and "vacation." It describes a holiday or trip that is primarily undertaken to engage in the sport of throwing, such as disc golf, javelin, or hammer throw. Individuals who participate in thocations might travel to specific locations known for their excellent facilities for these activities, or they might attend tournaments or events centered around throwing sports. The concept emphasizes the sport as the central motivation for travel and leisure, distinguishing it from a general vacation where a sport might be a secondary activity. Thocations can range from casual trips to dedicated training retreats or competitive excursions. The popularity of sports like disc golf has contributed to the rise of this niche travel trend. Enthusiasts might seek out renowned courses or venues that offer unique challenges or scenic environments conducive to their chosen throwing discipline. The planning for a thocation typically involves researching locations, accommodation, and the specific sporting events or facilities available. It represents a focused approach to combining personal passion with travel experiences.
