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.
