Combine the challenge of golf with the fun of frisbees, and you have Disc Golf! Disc golf is played much like ball golf but with discs that come in different molds that make a putter, mid-range, fairway driver, and distance drivers. Play begins with throwing from a tee box and completion into a basket. The number of throws it takes to complete the hole is the score for that hole. Learn the fundamentals of throwing discs and gain an understanding of how disc golf is played with rules provided from the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). All equipment provided, but bring your own discs if you have them; bring water, a hat and sunscreen. (14 max)
