All about Frisbee Golf

Disc golf or Frisbee Golf shares the joys and frustrations of traditional ball golf and uses much of the same rules and terminology. Instead of using clubs to putt balls into holes, you throw specially designed flying discs, similar to Frisbees into disc golf baskets. The objective is to take as few shots as possible over a course of a number different pole holes.

In traditional golf there are sand bunkers, in disk golf, trees, shrubs and the natural topography make the Frisbe golf game more challenging.

Different discs have different flight characteristics, which are necessary for the wide variety of shots needed during a round. For example; some discs fly fast and long, others slow and straight, some turn left, some turn right.

Professional players carry disc golf bags with their Frisbee golf supply of a large number of discs. Beginners may only carry one, two or perhaps three Frizbee golf discs on a round to negotiate their way around obstacles to hit the designated target. The important thing to note is that you don’t need a great deal of disc golf equipment to enjoy the game making it fantastic value.

There are obvious health benefits of disc golf and it the great thing about disc golf is anyone can play.

There are hundreds of disc golf courses in the USA, mostly in public parks. There are also courses in Canada, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Sweden , Finland, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Norway and the UK
