Disc Golf

Disc golf is a fun outdoor sport. It is like regular golf, but you throw a flying disc instead of hitting a ball. The goal is to throw the disc into a metal basket with chains. Players try to do it in as few throws as possible. Disc golf courses are often in parks and forests.

How It Is Played

A disc golf course usually has 9 or 18 holes. Each hole has a tee spot where you throw from and a basket you aim for. Players use different discs for long throws, short throws, and curves. The player with the lowest number of throws wins. It can be played by one person or a group of friends.

Why People Love It

Disc golf is fun because it is free or cheap at most parks. You only need a few discs to start. It is a great way to get outside and walk around. Kids and adults of all ages play it. The sport is growing fast, and new courses are being built every year.
