Disc golf is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. It is played with similar rules to traditional golf, except players throw a flying disc from a designated tee to an elevated metal basket to complete each hole in the least number of throws.
There are many different types of golf discs designed to curve differently and to throw different distances accurately. They range fromdistance drivers, which are easier to throw far but harder to control, toputters, which are easier to throw straight but won’t go as far.
