Using discs (or frisbees) and baskets you can play \u201cDisc Golf\u201d, the newest eco-friendly golf game, at a price within the reach of all. Let\u2019s find out how it works, why it is more ecological than traditional golf, and where you can play it in Italy.<\/h2>\n

Have you ever heard about \u201cchildren games\u201d that are recognized as an\u00a0official sport<\/strong>\u00a0and that have their own championship? This is the case of \u201cDisc Golf<\/strong>\u201d, a variety of traditional golf, in which you play with discs (or\u00a0frisbees)<\/strong>. You will need neither any particular equipment nor huge meadows which are strictly preserved. All you need is; a disc and lots of baskets to get the disc in the hole. The ground where you will play it can be either a meadow or a desert or a forest, you can actually play it anywhere.<\/em>
\n F<\/em>risbee is really loved when on holiday on a beautiful beach or in the mountains, but not a lot of people know that frisbee is an official sport and that there are several disciplines<\/strong>, which are practiced all over the World.<\/p>\n

The discipline that we are going to focus on today is called \u201cDisc Golf\u201d, which is pretty recent<\/strong>, it was first played in the 70s in the States and yet not well-known<\/strong> in Italy. Its rules<\/strong> are similar to those of golf<\/strong>, there is a starting line, a basket at a certain distance and in which you will try to get the ball in the hole with the least number of attempts.<\/p>\n

Frisbee and its popularity<\/h2>\n

The most incredible thing about frisbee is its ease of use<\/strong>. In fact, playing frisbee does not require a wide plane ground. If you have already picnicked in the mountains<\/strong>, you would know that when the ground is sloping, playing football results to be kind of hard, and don\u2019t forget to go for your ball that goes down so quickly! You do not have to worry about this because playing frisbee in these places will not be impossible.
\nOnce you learn how to throw the frisbee<\/strong> you can enjoy your new experience, playing at long distances and trying new ways to start the game.
\nThe only problem is that the game doesn\u2019t give its players the chance to do a challenge<\/strong> but only exchanges of frisbee, and this could be considered as the main cause of getting bored after a while.<\/p>\n

Disc Gold rules<\/h2>\n

Firstly, it is necessary to stress the fact that you will not need any particular equipment to play it, you will only need a\u00a0disc (or frisbee) per person<\/strong>. The rules are easy, if you already know how to play golf you know it all! The aim of the game is to get the disc (or frisbee) in the hole<\/strong> of the baskets with the least number of attempts<\/strong>. The person who wins the game has to get the highest number of shots. The first attempt will be from the starting line, called \u201ctee<\/strong>\u201d, then you have to move further and further behind. Once you succeed in the shot, you have to change the basket, which will be located at a different distance.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
