Disc golf

Disc Golf is a game based on the rules of ball golf, but using Frisbee like discs. The discs are thrown towards a basket, which serves as the hole.

Disc golf is scored in the same manner as ball golf. Each throw is added to your tally. As with ball golf each hole is given a par rating.

There are a wide array of discs, divided into two basic categories: putt and approach discs, and drivers. There are several classes of drivers intended for different distances. Mid-range drives tend to be the most versatile discs, and are very good for beginners. For longer drives there are many variations of long-range and extra long-range drivers.

Stability is one of the most important disc properties when choosing a disc. There are three stability classifications, based on the behavior of a disc when thrown using a level right-handed backhand:

Understable:

  An understable disc has a natural tendency to curve to the right during its flight.

Stable:

  A stable disc will maintain a straight flight path.

Overstable:

  A disc that tends to curve to the left.
