Disc Golf is hella fun and incredibly chill. It’s a drinking sport! Usually free to play, and you only actually need a single disc, which costs about $10, and will last every throw up until you lose it!
In three years, I went from a consistent +9-18 bogey player, to occasionally shooting under par (-3, -1, -1) and getting birdies. I’ve gotten one ace! I’m not saying I’m that good, I play with absolute turkeys who throw -8, and drive 500 feet.
How to Play (the fundamentals)
Tools - you need one disc, the best single disc is a Midrange Driver.
Envs - a basket, or a Disc Golf Course with baskets, to shoot at
Process - for each hole:
- Drive: Throw the disc straight and far from the pad.
- Upshots: Usually either a short drive, or a long putt.
- Putt: Use putting form to throw the disc straight at the basket.
Upgrades
You only technically need one disc, but a putter is pretty important, and once you can throw your first disc far, get faster discs to increase your skill ceiling.
- Putter - As soon as possible.
- Fairway Driver - Once you can overthrow your midrange.
- Distance Driver - Once you can overthrow your fairway.
