Disc golf can be played from school age to old age, making
it one of the greatest lifetime fitness sports available.
Specially-abled and disabled participate, giving them the
opportunity to take part in a main stream activity.
Because disc golf is so easy to learn, no one is excluded.
Players merely match their pace to their capabilities, and
proceed from there.

The Professional Disc Golf Association,
with over 20,000 members, is the governing
body for the sport, and sanctions competitive
events for men and women of every skill level
from novice to professional. In 2001, there were
385 PDGA-sanctioned events across the world
involving over 30,000 players and over $800,000
in professional player winnings. |
Today, there are over 1,750 permanent disc golf courses around
the world, with over 1,400 of them in the United States. The annual
rate of growth for disc golf courses is approximately 15%.
