Disc Golf |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Disc Golf uses flying discs which are similar to the Frisbee, but are usually smaller and more dense. The discs are thrown towards a target, which server as the "hole". The targets can range from objects, such as trees and poles, to metal baskets with hanging chains to catch the discs.
Disc Golf if played in a similar manner as ball golf. The inital "drive" is taken from a designated tee area. Each subsequent throw is taken from just behind the spot where the disc came to rest. Each throw is added to your tally. As with ball golf each hole is given a par rating. A common strategy for a par-three hole, as in golf, would be drive (long throw), approach (mid-range throw to the "green"), putt (short throw into the basket). Your hole is scored when the disc has come to rest in the basket of the target or when it hits the designated part of an object if there are no baskets and it is an object course.* |

My discs. The center one & the one on the right were given to me by my brother for Christmas in 2005. The yellow one was a disc I found on a course... like ball golf, hazards claims many victoms.
There are many different types of Discs. The left one is a Long Driver, the center is a Straight Driver & the left one is a Putter (which is a lot like a typical frisbee). |

At the Carrol Marty Disk Golf Course, here in Ames Iowa, there is a path from the 15th Hole to the 16th Holes Tee that goes through the woods. We discovered this trail had been lined with Bottle Caps stuck into the dirt the weekend of March 25th, 2006. The next weekend we played at that course again & we brought some Bottle Caps along to contribute..... |
