What is this sport anyway? Disc golf (also referred to as "frisbee golf")
is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however, players use a
flying disc, or FrisbeeŽ. The sport was formalized in the 1970s, and shares with
"ball golf" the object of completing each hole in the fewest number of strokes
(or, in the case of disc golf, fewest number of throws). Currently, there are more than
1,750 disc golf courses worldwide, with over 1,400 in the USA.
