You try to complete each hole (basket) with the fewest throws

The Professional

Disc Golf Association had the following description of disc golf.

 

?Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however, players use a flying disc, or Frisbee?. The sport was formalized in the 1970’s, and shares with “ball golf” the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest throws). A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target which is the “hole”. The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets; the most common is called a Pole Hole? an elevated metal basket. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive throw from the spot where the previous throw has landed. The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Finally, the “putt” lands in the basket and the hole is completed. It is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages, male and female, regardless of economic status.

No expensive equipment to buy

 

Check with a local sporting goods store for disc for the game or use your old Frisbee. A flat disc does seem to work better than a frisbee type. If you get into the game and like it, there are higher quality disc designed for different distances and conditions.
