COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this course, we talk about the basics of Disc Golf. We go through the most common rules that we want to know when learning the game. We also go through some best practices and etiquette when playing or practicing disc golf. There aren’t too many rules to play by, so we strongly recommend abiding by them. Some rules are there to protect other players and some best practices are important to add to your game from the start.
We learn details about the most important equipment being the disc itself. We will go through the most common types of discs and talk about flight numbers and what they mean. We dive into different plastics and how they behave in different conditions. We also learn details about the target or basket and what the rules say about finishing the hole.
After this course, you have the basic knowledge of rules and regulations, and the most common tools you see when playing disc golf.
