What is Disc Golf?
Disc Golf is setup very similar to a game of Golf. Instead of hitting a ball with a club, you’re throwing plastic discs through a course attempting to land them in the baskets, like the image above.
While this simple goal may seem easy at first, you’ll find that practice and regular play to learn how to throw the discs will make for a much easier time! Combine this with all the different types of discs there are to throw, and you’ve found yourself in a very deep sport that rewards knowledge of both the tools at your disposal and yourself!
The best thing about Disc Golf? It’s incredibly affordable! Discs themselves run anywhere from about $10 to $20, a fraction of the price of some other sport equipment. Also, unlike regular Golf, most Disc Golf courses do not charge a fee to play on them, making it one of the easiest and most convenient sports to go out and play!
Disc Golf is one of the most rapid growing sports in the world and we are proud to be a part of it!
