Disc Golf

Disc Golf is an interesting sport that not much people know about.

A knol by David Moran offer an excellent guide to disc golf sport.

What is disc golf? Here’s how David explain about it:

Disc Golf is a sport in which the object is to throw a disc (a smaller sized frisbee) into a basket in as little stokes as possible. Quoted from the PGDA (Professional Disc Golf Association), “The object of the game is to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest number of throws of the disc.”

Disc golf, which often refer to frisbee golf, is considerably different to the original sport of golf, but share a similar concept – to reach a target in as little strokes as possible.

Disc golf sport involves the disc, with the following types:

• The driver – less accurate, but great distance with curvy flight path.
• The mid-range disc – more accurate, more straight flight path, but less travel distance than the driver.
• The putter – very accurate, but is usually used within 10 meters to the hole.
