Or download this guide as a PDF: The Basics of Disc Golf: Ultimate Guide for Beginners<\/p>\n<p>Disc golf is a fusion of the most popular sports in the world: basketball, volleyball, and handball.<\/p>\n<p>Irishman Alan &#8216;Fluff&#8217; Kennett invented disc golf in about 1999** when he was a student at University of California, Berkeley. He initially developed the sport as a way to make money in his apartment complex but it has since spread to almost every state in the US and several other countries.<\/p>\n<p>The basic idea of disc golf is simple: throw a flying disc at a basket and you get points. The first person to score 100 points wins the round.<\/p>\n<p>The games are fast, with players throwing their discs as fast as they can to start the game and then quickly trying to catch up. It&#8217;s both an individual and team sport &#8211; for two-person teams a player must throw it before the other can return it &#8211; so it&#8217;s very competitive.<\/p>\n<p>Disc golf is played on courses that are usually slightly larger than a soccer field but smaller than an open field or football pitch (around 90 meters) . . .<\/p>\n<p>Learn the basics of disc golf. It&#8217;s a great way to spend the day, even if you don&#8217;t play it very often.<\/p>\n<p>You can have fun and exercise, and not worry about the weather or traffic. Also you can learn about the rules and basic skills at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Disc golf is a sport for people who have never played sports before. It is a fun sport with great recreational value, especially if you are a beginner. Disc golf has been around for more than 40 years and is growing in popularity every year. Disc golf is played in the United States, Canada and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Disc golf was formally recognized as a sport by the United States Disc Golf Association (USDGA) in 2002. The first official disc golf course was designed by Paul McBeth and Jay Morrish, who were also responsible for designing courses in Redwood National Park and elsewhere in California. The first official championship was held at Marlborough Hills near Washington DC on March 22, 2003. The tournament drew over 150 players from around the country to compete in the event.[1]<\/p>\n<p>Disc golf is a great sport and it is growing in popularity. I think that one of the reasons that it&#8217;s growing so quickly is simply because it is new and not many people have heard of it yet.<\/p>\n<p>Disc golf isn&#8217;t just an interesting sport, it also has a lot of potential as a business. For example, there are over 100 disc golf courses around the world that charge people to play there. If you were to start your own disc golf course and make your money from fees for playing, not just from advertising then you could potentially be making a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to keep in mind when starting out with disc golf is that it can take a while to become very good at the sport. It may be hard to get people to come and play your course if you&#8217;re not very good at disc golf, but it also takes some time for players to learn how to properly throw discs. There are many people who are interested in disc golf who aren&#8217;t very good at the sport yet. So you might want to consider offering lessons to teach those beginners how to get better at disc golf. However, you probably won&#8217;t be making much money from doing this unless you charge a lot for your lessons.<\/p>\n<p>Disc golf is a relatively young sport.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1960s and &#8217;70s, it was called &#8220;golf on a disc,&#8221; and that was basically the extent of its popularity. But then in the 1980s, everything changed. The sport started to grow exponentially. By now, there are over 100 golf courses in the US dedicated solely to disc golf. More than 50% of them are located in California.<\/p>\n<p>Disc golf is played on a court. The court is shaped like an L and has a basket at each end. A disc is thrown at the basket to get it out of the way, and then it&#8217;s shot back into the basket again to get it out of play.<\/p>\n<p>You can think of this as like a game of &#8220;duck-duck-goose.&#8221; You throw a rock at a rubber duck so that it floats away from you, then you run after it until you catch up with it, and finally you kick the rubber duck into your own basket.<\/p>\n<p>The disc itself is not used for throwing or catching; it&#8217;s just used as an object to knock other things out of your way or as an object for you to kick into your own basket. In fact, we call discs &#8220;putters&#8221; because they&#8217;re meant to<\/p>\n<p>Disc golf is amazing. It&#8217;s like a combination of Frisbee, baseball, and chess.

And best of all, it doesn&#8217;t cost anything.<\/p>\n<p>You can easily get started by simply buying a disc and throwing it around at home or in the backyard. However, you&#8217;ll quickly want more than that.
