Disc Golf is the sport of throwing a disc (a.k.a. Frisbee) from a specific location to a target basket, and it is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. The sport has been around for decades, and over that time, there have been many unique variations developed by players in their own backyards and parks. Many of these games are no longer played, but some have become popular enough to be standardized into their own variants of disc golf.
Below are seven strange ways to play disc golf:
Disc golf is a great way to enjoy the outdoors with friends, family and co-workers. However, there are many weird ways to play the game too.
5. Outtakes – Make a few silly rules for the group to follow. For example: You must throw left handed on every other hole, jump 3 times before throwing or only throw discs that you find in nature (no discs allowed!).
6. Chopped – Combine two of your favorite game variations and play them together! Here are a few ideas…
1) CTP + 9’s: Play a round of 9’s but make all 9’s count as CTP’s.
2) Par + High/Low: Play a round of High/Low but only keep your high scores on par holes and your low scores on bogie holes.
3) Stroke + 9’s: Play a round of 9’s but count each hole like its stroke play (like golf). The person with the lowest score wins!
7. Speed Disc Golf – Speed disc golf is simple and fun! Just play through a course as fast as you can while keeping track of how many strokes each person takes! The first one back to
I first learned about Disc Golf when I was at a new years party and some people were playing it outside. Basically all you need is a Frisbee, which almost everyone has, and a Disc Golf course.

1. Play with mini discs
Mini discs were originally used as markers when playing doubles or other formats where partners would alternate shots until one made it into the basket. The mini was tossed on the ground where the previous thrower’s lie was and the next player started there.
This evolved into a game called “mini-marker,” where teams of two would alternate throws at each hole with their putting putters or mid-range discs until they made it into the basket with their mini disc. If you’ve got an empty field nearby and want to practice your short games when there aren’t any baskets handy, this is a great way to practice without having to bend over and retrieve your disc every time you miss a putt.
2. Play using only one disc
I call this variation
