🥏 Learn Disc Golf
Disc golf is a flying disc sport where players throw a disc toward a target, usually a metal basket with chains. The aim is to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws.
The sport is easy to learn and is played on courses set in parks and natural environments.
🏁 The Basics of Disc Golf
Disc golf is similar to traditional golf but uses discs instead of balls and clubs.
Players:
• start from a tee area
• throw the disc toward the basket
• continue throwing from where the disc lands
• complete the hole when the disc lands in the basket
The player with the lowest total number of throws wins.
📏 The Course
A disc golf course is made up of multiple holes, usually 9 or 18.
Each hole includes:
• a tee area (starting point)
• a fairway (playing area)
• a target basket
Courses often include trees, hills and obstacles to increase difficulty.
