The ongoing fitness boom finds more and more people
taking up recreational activities in an effort to
improve health and quality of life. Disc golf
provides upper and lower body conditioning, aerobic
exercise, and promotes a combination of physical
and mental abilities that allow very little risk of
physical injury. Concentration skills increase by
mastering shots and negotiating obstacles. Players of
limited fitness levels can start slowly and gradually
increase their level of play as fitness improves.
Scheduling is also flexible; a round takes
one to two hours, and may be played alone,
eliminating the difficulty of scheduling tee times.
And as in traditional golf, disc golfers find
themselves "hooked" and, thus, increasing the
likelihood of frequent participation. Disc golf
offers year-round fitness, even in rain or snow.
Perhaps the greatest attribute of the sport is the
expense — or rather, the lack of it. A professional quality
disc costs less than $10, and it only takes one for basic play.
And, of course, there’s the sheer fun of the game — no matter what
your age or skill level! Play disc golf — the sport of the future!
