DISC GOLF THE WORLD OF
“One of the great features disc golf shares with traditional golf is that they are both played in beautiful settings.”
Disc golf can be played from school age to old age, making it one of the greatest lifetime fitness sports available. Specially-abled and disabled participate, giving them the opportunity to take part in a mainstream activity. Because disc golf is so easy to learn, no one is excluded. Players merely match their pace to their capabilities, and proceed from there. The Professional Disc Golf Association, with a member base of 40,000+, is the governing body for the sport and sanctions competitive events for men and women of every skill level from novice to professional. Permanent disc golf courses are found in countries worldwide.
Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however, players use a flying disc, or Frisbee® The sport was formalized in the 1970’s, and shares with “ball golf ” the object of completing each hole in the fewest number of strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest number of throws). A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target which is the “hole”. the hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets; the most common is called a Pole Hole® an elevated metal basket. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed. The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Finally, the “putt” lands in the basket and the hole is completed. Disc golf shares the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether it’s sinking a long putt or hitting a tree
halfway down the fairway. There are few differences, though. Disc golf rarely requires a greens fee, you probably won’t need to rent a cart, and you never get stuck with a bad “tee time.” It is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages, male and female, regardless of economic status.
Many city parks have golf courses already set up. Most are free to play as often as you like. Disc golfers who do not have the benefit of a permanent disc golf facility in their area often “make up” courses in nearby parks and green spaces. One of the great features disc golf shares with traditional golf is that they are both played in beautiful settings. A nine-hole disc golf course can be established on as little as five acres of land, and a championship caliber 18-hole course on thirty to forty acres. Disc golf courses can coexist with existing park facilities and activity areas. The ideal location combines wooded and open terrains, and a variety of topographical change.The need for more courses is constant, as the sport continues to grow in popularity. The PDGA has created resources for the design and installation of new golf courses, to ensure their success in the community.
HOW
“Disc golf provides upper and lower body conditioning, aerobic exercise, and promotes a combination of physical and mental abilities”
The question of how to throw a disc varies so much that to give an exact is almost impossible. So what i detail here is how to generally throw a disc golf disc. When you throw a disc you place your index finger under the lip, and your thumb goes on top of the disc. You draw your arm back towards you till the disc wraps around and taps your shoulder. Turn your body with the turn of your arm, and with one sweeping motion extend your arm out. When it becomes straight, then let the disc go. The finger will give it that spin that is needed to make that disc fly. When you throw a disc this way it will veer to the left midway through the flight. If you throw it directly straight,and directly flat, it will first veer to the left, and then veer back to the right. This is the coveted “S” curve. The secondary way of throwing a disc golf disc is to grasp it by the your index finger under the lip, and your thumb goes on top of the disc. But this time, you are going to let it flop over the back of your hand and you are going to pull your arm back the other way, away from your body this time. When you pull it back, your arm will naturally hook up, that’s ok. Now to throw, let you arm come down the natural ark and bring it flat as the disc is sitting away from you and your arm comes down to a 45 degree angle pointing away from your body, but the disc is being propelled in a forward motion. When you get it flat and your arm is fully extended, let the disc go. When the disc is thrown this way it will go straight and arc to the right. If thrown right it will arc back to the left and then again you have that “s” curve. Many people will get even more power with a running throw. They take about seven steps back, and run to the end of the throwing “run”, then twist out of the throw. When they let go of the disc, they have all of the potential energy of their forward momentum, mixed with the forward throw. This will give a longer
flight, and a longer glide. there are some who debate as to whether this works or not. The physics are there, but the longest throws have been clocked by people who haven’t run.
WHERE
Now that you have learned to throw a disc, learn how to play the game, choose the right disc, and go play some Disc Golf EVERYWHERE.
WHY
The ongoing fitness boom finds more and more people taking up recreational activities in an effort to improve health and quality of life. Disc golf provides upper and lower body conditioning, aerobic exercise, and promotes a combination of physical and mental abilities that allow very little risk of physical injury. Concentration skills increase by mastering shots and negotiating obstacles. Players of limited fitness levels can start slowly and gradually increase their level of play as fitness improves. Scheduling is also flexible; a round takes one to two hours, and may be played alone, eliminating the difficulty of scheduling tee times. And as in traditional golf, disc golfers find themselves “hooked;” increasing the likelihood of frequent participation. Disc golf offers year-round fitness, even in rain or snow. Perhaps the greatest attribute of the sport is the expense - or rather, the lack of it. A professional quality disc costs less than $15, and it only takes one for basic play.
