Every spring and summer on trips to favorite parks in my area, I witness teams of disc golfers. It's very interesting to watch and takes more concentration and patience than I possess, but seemed like a great unique way to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise!
One of the beauties of the game is its simplicity. Most parks have disc golf courses set up, although you might not know it. There's little to no equipment needed to play on the course, minus the Frisbee. The game is similar to golf in that participants take turns trying to land their Frisbee closest to the hole, sometimes a designated plot of land or an elevated container.
Disc golf is great for people of all ages, and upper and lower body coordination with aerobic exercise and mental and concentration skills. Avoiding obstacles like trees and shrubs provide the same excitement as do sand-traps and water for golfers.
