What's
Disc Golf? Disk
Golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however,
players use flying discs. The
sport was formalized in the mid to late 70's, and shares with "ball
golf" the object of completing each hole in the fewest number of strokes
(or in the case of disc golf, the fewest numbers of holes). A
disc is thrown from the tee area to a target which is the "hole" or
"pin". The "Pin" is an elevated metal basket especially
designed for catching. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must
make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed. The
trees, shrubs and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide
challenging obstacles for the golfer. Finally the "putt" lands in the
basket and the hole is completed. Disc
golf shares the same joys and frustrations of traditional ball golf, whether
it's sinking a long putt or hitting a tree half way down the fairway.
