Writer Disc golf, an innovation combining the beautiful scenery of a nine-hole golf course and the unpredictable launches of a Frisbee disc, has been a popular sport among students for about 10 years.
Students find disc golf a relaxing outdoor activity.
Part of the appeal comes from needing no experience to play. Participants play the game by throwing a golf disc into the target, typically a steel basket over which chains hang, in the fewest amount of throws possible. The player starts by driving from a designated tee area and continues toward the basket beginning each shot from the spot where the previous throw landed. A successful putt places the disc inside the basket. Disc golf is considered by some to be a very competitive sport.
