Essentially the only difference between disc golf and regular golf is the equipment. There are 18 holes on a course. Scott Odom tosses his disc to the 4th hole during competition last month. 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.
Mr. Graham said. 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.
