Disc Golf is played much like regular golf, but
instead of trying
to hit a ball into a hole, players attempt to
get discs into a
basket in the least amount of throws. Similar
to clubs in ball
golf, there are different discs for each shot.
There are
hundreds of discs available on the market which
generally fall
into three categories: drivers; midranges and
putters. It is
recommended that you have one of each to start
although one
could get away with just a midrange (such as a
'Buzz') in the
beginning. Frisbees are usually not suitable
as they do not fly
far enough but they'll suffice if you just want
to give the game a try.
Click Here
for a view of the course layout. This is a
9 basket course with 18 individual tee offs.
We will play the full 18 hole course. There is
no charge to play.
Beginners are more than welcome but
basic
throwing skills are helpful in getting the most
out of the game.
If you participate in sports such as softball
or Ultimate frisbee,
you should pick the game fairly easily. Games
will be very
casual and scorekeeping is optional.
The goal here is to simply have fun while
enjoying the great
outdoors. Everyone should bring their own
discs but if you're
a first timer who just wants to give it a try
before investing in any equipment, we generally
have extra discs available to lend out.
