What is Disc Golf?
Ever been to a park and seen metal baskets with chains hanging in them? You probably stumbled onto one of the 6,652 disc golf courses located all across the United States. Disc golf can be summed up as throwing plastic discs from a tee pad into a target basket in as few strokes as possible. There are hundreds of disc mold options that each have unique flight characteristics and additionally there are many different ways of throwing a disc (forehand, backhand, tomahawk, thumber, roller).
