Disc golf is an easy, accessible version of golf typically played at free courses, accompanied by user’s choice of beer and weed.
Disc Golf discs
The discs don’t matter nearly as much as you might think, seeing people walk around with big bags full of 20+ discs. You really only need 1 to start (a putter), but you can add faster discs as you get better at throwing.
- Putter - Mainly for short distance accuracy shots. Getting good at putting within 30 feet is one of the best upgrades any player can make for their game.
- Midrange Driver - Easiest driver to throw, can get 300+ feet.
- Fairway Driver - Harder to throw, goes farther than midrange.
- Distance Driver - Very hard to throw, but can go the farthest.
When I was new to disc golf, I just stuck with a Putter and a Midrange for a long time, playing with only those two discs and getting really good at throwing the Midrange far and straight. Once I could do this reliably, I added a Fairway driver to my bag, and have only recently added a Distance driver after throwing a few sub-par games.
