Disc golf is a game played with a Frisbee or disc instead of a ball. The object of the game is very similar to traditional golf or "ball golf" as disc golfers call it. The golfer tries to get the disc into an elevated metal basket in the fewest number of throws. The sport has gone international and courses can be found in many different countries. There is also a petition to make it an Olympic sport.

Disc golf was recognized and formalized in the 70's. Since then many courses have popped up all over the United States. Most of the courses are free to play and unlike traditional golf there are no tee times. To find out where there are some courses near you try going to Professional Disc Golf Association's Course Directory.

Disc golf is a great sport because it promotes good health and does not require a lot of money to start playing. You can buy a disc or even play with a Frisbee from your garage. More experienced players like to buy discs that allow the golfer to throw further and harder than a traditional Frisbee allows. There are several types of discs that one can use while disc golfing.

There are drivers, putters, mid-range, and specialty discs. All discs also have different speeds in which they can travel with the drivers being the highest speed and the putters being the slowest.

  • Drivers are used from the tee position for maximum distance off the tee.
  • Fairway Drivers are used when you need long accurate throws after your initial driver throw.
  • Mid-Range discs are used for a variety of different situations depending on the terrain.
  • Putters & Approach discs are used for short controlled throws.
  • All discs are not created equal so check out the plastics, ratings, and design of each disc to ensure that it will work properly for you. If you are a first time player, pick a few starter discs that will be easier to throw. These discs may not have the distance or speed of the more advanced discs but they will keep you on the course and closer to the disc golf basket also known as the pole hole.

    Best starter kit for frisbee golf?(Disc golf?

    I am new to frisbee golf and am wandering if I should just buy a lot of 7 or 8 discs off of ebay or if I have to buy a special kit? I understand there are drivers putters etc. So if I buy random discs I will not have drivers mids and putters. I am looking for well priced quality discs and your oppinion on the ebay Idea. Thanks.

    I would get the discs at a store. You can visually inspect the edge of the disc to be sure it is not worn out or chipped.

    If you are just starting, get a putter, an approach, a mid range, a fairway driver, and a driver.

    I like:

    Putter - Innova Aviar
    Approach - Innova Aero, Discraft Breeze
    Midrange - Innova Coyote, Discraft Glide
    Faiway Driver - Innova Leopard, Quest T-Bone
    Driver - Quest Scream DT, Innova Roadrunner, Gateway Diablo DT

    You will find that each disc will behave a little differently. Pick one of the above and learn to throw it, then work on the others.
