For this Fun Friday of Summer Break month, I want to share an activity that I enjoy in my spare time. Disc golf, sometimes called ‘Frisbee Golf’, is a fun, inexpensive sport that you and your whole family can enjoy.
Disc golf is very similar to the game of golf but doesn’t require a lot of equipment.
Instead of using a ball and clubs, disc golf uses a Frisbee-like disc. The object of the game is to throw the disc from the tee and get it in the ‘hole’ on the green. The ‘hole’ is actually a basket, marked by the pin. Like golf, you count up your consecutive shots for each hole and the lowest total score for the course wins.
In doing more research on the sport, I was amazed to learn that the sport is very popular. There are disc golf courses all over the country, seven 18-hole disc golf courses in my area. Disc golf even has its own professional association called the Professional Disc Golf Association and a professional tour called the PDGA tour.
So next time you’re looking for a new activity, try disc golf. It is a social sport that will give you some exercise and test your motor skills. But most importantly, it’s fun.
