What is disc golf?
Disc golf is a fast growing outdoor activity that can be enjoyed by everyone. Similar to golf, the object of disc golf is to complete each hole in as few throws–or strokes–as possible. Instead of using golf clubs and a golf ball, disc golfers use a flying golf disc to traverse the hole. Each hole starts with a teeing area and is completed once the disc lands in the “hole”, which is a disc-catching target. While disc golf can be played with just one golf disc, the discs are designed to fly with different characteristics. Different discs can be used to hook and curve around obstacles, roll on the ground, or fly over trees.
Who can play?
Disc golf is an affordable sport that can be played by most everyone. It can be played from school age to golden age. Golf discs can be purchased for around $10 and with free to play courses in all 50 states, its accessible to everyone! You can buy discs at Play It Again Sports in Goleta or online at InfiniteDiscs.
