| Disc golf shares the joys
and frustrations of traditional golf. Instead of using clubs
to putt balls into holes, you throw specially designed flying
discs, similar to Frisbees® at baskets or natural objects,
such as trees or posts. The objective is to take as few shots
as possible over a course of 18 different targets. |
 |
 |
Trees and shrubs act as natural bunkers and terrain changes
make the game more challenging. Ideally, you have two or
three different discs (under £10 each) to negotiate your
way around these obstacles to hit the designated target.
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
and don’t forget your favourite putting disc!
