Flying Disc: Disc Golf

An individual sport, played on an 18-hole course

Disc golf is the flying disc variant of the game of golf. Instead of with a ball and (many different) golf-clubs this game is played with a frisbee or flying disc.

Players traverse a course making as few throws as possible in reaching objects placed strategically throughout the area. Many terms you will encounter in ball golf are also familiar in disc golf. For example: tee, hole, hole in one, putt, approach, birdie, par, drive.

Disc golf is often played in a public park where many obstacles such as trees and water are to be met. As such it is a recreational sport in the open air, for people of all ages and of all skill levels.
