Many of those who will participate in these events at the Games do so just because it's their favorite pastime. Essentially the only difference between disc golf and regular golf is the equipment. There are 18 holes on a course. The object is to get the disc in the polehole in the fewest throws. Like a golfer with a wide selection of clubs, most serious disc golfers have an average of 12 discs they carry for every situation.
Novices usually begin with one disc.
There is a laid-back, fun atmosphere surrounding the game. It is a competition relatively new to the sporting world. A noncontact sport, its players are both defenders and receivers. Seven-player teams try to throw the Frisbee to a player in the end zone of a field smaller than a football field for a goal. Like many of the sports in the Georgia Games, both male and female players of all ages participate in ultimate Frisbee.
