So you've heard about the popular Frisbee golf game over the past 40 years. Now it's your turn to have some fun playing disc golf.

Steps

1. 1 Find out more about this game. Disc golf is a sports game that became very popular as soon as it was developed in the late 60's. Californian George Sappenfield realized that golf would be much more fun to play with a frisbee disc and opened a target area for children. A year later, Seppenfield presented his invention to other frisbee players. They also brought this game to the University of California at Berkeley. The game quickly became popular, and in 1970 a permanent playground was established there. In the meantime, standard targets were built on the east coast and the game got more serious. Now there are disc golf courses all over the United States, everyone can get into a wave of insanity.
2. 2 Find a disc golf course. In the "Sources and Links" section, you will find a site for searching for such sites.
3. 3 Buy a set of discs. Usually the initial set consists of Driver, Mid-range and Putter disks. You can get them in several places. There are specialty shops in some of the fields, and in several of them you can rent discs. However, this is the exception, not the rule, so it is better to find a store nearby (for example, Dick's or Sam's), or buy online. For example, on the Innova Discs or Discraft site or on any other site that you will find in the "Sources and Links" section.
4. 4 You can come to the court shortly before the start of the game to walk around the field and see where the targets are. It's much easier to play this way because you don't have to do any scouting during the game itself.
5. 5 Gather your friends and enjoy the game all together. On many sites you do not have to pay for the use of the field, you can play as much as your heart desires; all at the expense of lost disks, and they MUST be lost in the end.

Tips

• The number of pairs depends on the distance of the holes. This is usually par-3.More pairs can be encountered in tournaments where there are very long distances to the holes.
• Disc golfers are very friendly and helpful. Feel free to ask for permission to join and freely ask them for help. The sport has a spirit of 'helping newcomers' and the old-timers are kind enough to help newcomers get into the game.
• These discs, in addition to specially designed 'floats', sink in water. Therefore, stock up on discs if you do not have floats and are going to play near a pond.
• The fewer throws, the more points. It is much easier to summarize if each hole is counted as a par-3. Just count the number of shots for the whole game and subtract the number of holes multiplied by 3.
• Trees and lush vegetation also contribute to disc loss, so don't be too discouraged if you lose your favorite driver; discs usually cost no more than $ 20, so it is easy to find a replacement even with modest financial resources, some retailers sell used discs at a discount.
• Work on your throwing style. There are tons of ways to throw and you just need to find the one that suits you. The most commonly used drive is called the backhand. The forehand is also common. There are also Tomahawks, Thumbers, Rollers and vertical throws.
• Learn more about disc golf to play better.
• Collect discs of different sizes and types to diversify the game.
• This game is great for students who want to have fun with their friends and not spend a lot of money, because most of the courses are free.
• If you are on a limited budget, then you can get by with a set of driver and pattern.

Warnings

• Try not to throw your discs into trees, because they will get stuck and it is very difficult to find even bright Frisbees in dense plants.
• Your hand WILL BE TIRED. To prevent this from happening, play 9 holes the first few times and take breaks to rest your hand.
• YOU WILL LOSE DISCS. This is what every disc golf player faces. To minimize losses, buy bright discs and track their flight path.
• Try not to throw your discs on asphalt or other hard surfaces, the plastic deforms and flies worse.
• Do not store your discs in high temperatures for the same reason above.
