Going out with your friends and shredding the field will get almost anyone out to play Ultimate Frisbee, but what do you need to make it a success? Though preparing for the sport is remarkably easy, there are some things you need to bring to make your Ultimate Frisbee excursion a success.

How many times have you thrown a frisbee around in a friendly game of Ultimate? The sport has been around for more than fifty years now, and it’s getting bigger all the time. From humble beginnings in 1968, Ultimate Frisbee has proven to be one of the most popular games you can play with a disc.

Similar to putting, there are so many ways to get to the basket; it comes down to disc selection and the athletes’ preference on what is the most comfortable style for you.

All types of physical activity have their benefits, whether it’s keeping your heart pumping or relieving some stress after a long day. Others enjoy the endorphin rush after a good game of basketball or soccer, while still others like to keep their physique in top condition. No matter what the motivation is, there’s something to be said for playing sports.

If you’re asking yourself if you can play disc golf, this blog’s for you. That’s right – we’re talking specifically to you. No matter your age, level of athletic ability, occupation, or how much money you have, you can play disc golf. Don’t believe us? Keep reading.

Here we are, approaching the winter months, and you see some jerk writing a sonata in the snow. You mean to twist your face to show putrefaction, but it’s cemented into place by the frost. Nothing save the ice-cold wind at your back moves you from the place you’ve just been frozen to the ground.

Most disc golfers are pretty well-versed in how the sport can help to create community and can make some major differences in your health, but one less talked about benefit has to do with the environment. Disc golf is certainly considered a green sport, as the negative impact it has on the land around it is virtually non-existent.

Don’t we all wish we could be 24 forever? The amount of energy and resilience that younger players bring to the field in ultimate is astounding. When you’re out there, you tend to feel invincible, until you get injured. Unfortunately, as fun as ultimate can be, it’s exceptionally hard on your body.

It seems that every sport or club around the world, no matter what the activity might be, tends to bring its own lingo to the table. If you’re an established part of the group then you know what others are saying, but imagine the confusion of hearing “disc golf-rich” if you’re not well-versed in the disc golf community.

Instead of sweating your brains out and engaging in exercises that push you to your limits, consider using disc golf to start your own fitness journey. The great thing about this sport is that anyone can play, so even if you have some weight to lose or are recovering from a serious injury, you can reap major benefits.

If someone asked you to list the brands who manufacture golf discs, no-one would blame you if you only mentioned companies based in the US and Europe. But did you know there’s some great plastic flying down under in the land of the long white cloud?

You stare at the wall, one eye twitching. You feel your body begin to tense as you breathe in and out slowly. “This one’s for the ladies,” you say under your breath, and throw the disc. It ricochets off the wall and into the disc golf net. You pound the air and look around you: no one saw. Of course.

Exercise is key to maintaining a healthy physique and feeling your best, but what do you do when you’re pregnant? Surely pregnancy is either a great excuse to sit on your butt or a regrettable action that comes with just a little heartache.
