Disc Golf

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Any other disc golfers out there?

If so, let's talk about opinions on various equipment and throwing tips!

I'm expecting this thread to be as doomed as my broomball thread was, but I figured I'd give it a try anyway.

How does this work? After playing a game of Cornhole, I had some friends suggest that we play this. But, I had no idea what the fuck they were talking about.

Definitely sounds like a game for cornholers.

I went disc golfing at least once a week in college. It's the best stoner game ever. Haven't played in years, though.

My buddies and I still play a few times a month if we can. I'm not the best one to talk to about equipment or throwing techniques. I find all of my discs on the course, and I just throw em...Decent exercise depending on what type of courses you use though.

The rules are roughly the same as normal golf except instead of a club hitting a ball towards a hole, you throw a disc towards a "basket." The baskets are metal and stand about 5 feet high with the basket starting around 3 feet high. Between the top of this contraption and the basket itself are chains hanging down and curving inward from top to bottom. These slow the disc down so it can drop in the basket.

I find it much more fun than golf. Additionally, unless you are on a crazy-hard course and/or have slow players around you, it is much faster. It is also much cheaper. Most disc golf courses are free to play on, and if you are just playing for fun, you really only need 1 or 2 discs (cheap ones are around $6-8 each).

When you start taking it more seriously, you would like buy more discs with different flight characteristics for different situations, and then once you get enough discs you would probablu also want a disc bag. But even if you were playing with 15-20 mid-high quality discs and a decent disc bag, that all costs the same or less than a mid-range set of clubs with a golf bag... not counting golf balls and green fees.
