Where disc golf and ultimate frisbee enthusiasts play!
Disc golf has been rapidly growing across the globe since the 60’s, with more than 2,900 official disc courses in the United States, alone.
To some the sport is known as Frisbee Golf, to others it is known as Frolf. Regardless, it is the same game with the same purpose. Similar to traditional golf, there disc golf courses are set up with 9 to 18 “holes”. However, in disc gold these are referred to as disc golf baskets. A few other similarities are the par system of scoring, as well as the different “tee boxes” serve the various skill level of players.
One of the things that is very dissimilar to traditional golf is that disc golf is much easier to pick up. So, it is fun for everyone, including the beginner. As long as an individual understands the basics about how to throw a frisbee, then they will enjoy the game. As players get better and more serious about the sport, there are several disc golf throws as well as disc golf techniques that can be learned and perfected.
Now, there are disc golf rules that must be learned and followed, but they are not too complicated.
Last, those who are new to the sport will probably be surprised t know that 100’s of disc golf discs to choose from. It is very different from Ultimate Frisbee which is always played with the same 175 g disc. In fact, there is a lot of disc golf equipment that is standard in the sport. Most players have disc golf bags that carry several frisbee golf discs. The disc golf bag that I like best, is one made by innova that can be strapped to your back like a back back. Discraft also makes good disc golf bags. The hardest thing is becoming familiar with the several types of disc golf discs. Innova disc golf equipment is by far the most popular. Innova discs are the leading discs on the market. The Innova disc that I like best is the Star Boss, which came out as an improvement to the Champion Boss. From Innova, you can also buy a custom frisbee, or personlized frisbees, tailored to your style. It is becoming more common for players and companies to come up with their own frisbee logo. Another thing becoming popular are a lighted frisbee. Obviously, the cool thing about a light frisbee is that they allow you to play at night. Most of the lighted frisbees are use for Ultimate Frisbee.
In summary, whether you call it disc golf, frisbee golf, or frolf… I love it!
