Understanding Disc Golf

Many people the world over are lovers of golf. With that said and understood you may be a person who does love and enjoy traditional golf. Additionally, you may have heard of disc golf … but, you may now know exactly what is meant by disc golf.

Disc golf is also known as Frisbee golf or frolf. Disc golf is a game that is played based on the same rules associated with traditional golf. Disc golf players actually refer to the traditional game of golf as “ball golf” to differentiate between their own versions of the game.

In disc golf, flying discs - which look like Frisbees - are used to further the game. However, the typical disc used in disc golf usually is smaller and heavier than a typical Frisbee. In the game of disc golf, the discs are thrown at a target. The target at which the disc is thrown at during the course of disc golf is known as a hole.

In point of fact, when playing disc golf, the so-called holes can be objects such as trees or poles or nearly anything else. In addition, disc golf can be played nearly anywhere at any time … and, in addition, by anyone at all.
