Disc Golf Concepts and Terminology

Disc golf combines elements of traditional golf and Ultimate Frisbee. Players aim to throw discs into targets in as few throws as possible. The game is played on courses with varied terrain and obstacles. Players use different types of discs for different shots and must follow specific rules, including penalties for rule violations. Scoring is based on the number of throws, with terms like birdie and bogey indicating performance relative to par. Match play rules can also apply.
