Frisbee Golf is an excellent team building activity, and a fun group activity for children and adults alike. It is destined to maintain its cult following just like other off-beat sports like broomball or hacky sack.

Disc golf (sometimes called Frisbee Golf) is a disc game in which individual players throw a flying disc into a basket or at a target.This game is similar to traditional golf and uses much of the same rules and terminology. Disc golf has no rule concerning how many discs a disc golfer can carry. Disc golfers must have a supporting point (usually a foot but can be any part of the body) on the playing surface within 30cm behind the front edge of where their previous shot landed (if inbounds) at the point their next throw is released. Disc golf doesn't have "hazards" as defined in ball golf.

Frisbee golf has overcome its reputation as a game associated with hippies and hemp, and bases its appeal across a wide spectrum of students. Frisbee golf rules are simple and easy to learn. Frisbee golf rules also take place on a special course designed just for frisbee golf. Frisbee golf rules do not specify how you must throw your frisbee.

Players who throw with a great deal of snap should throw over stable discs, whereas a player who doesn’t throw with a great deal of snap should throw under stable discs. Attacks are made in two ways: by throwing a disc in play into the opponents' court in an attempt to have the disc come to rest within that court without ever having touched out-of-bounds, or by causing both discs to be touched by a player or players on the opposing team at the same time (called a "double"). Players may not run while holding the disc. Players throw a Frisbee by flicking the wrist, so that the disc spins as it sails through the air. Professional players consider around a 200-250ft shot to be an approach. Players finish a hole by hitting a target with the Frisbee.

Frisbee golf is similar to traditional golf and uses much of the same rules and terminology. Frisbee golf is a free way to spend time with friends, get exercise and enjoy nature. Frisbee golf is a fun sport that just about anyone can participate in, and is a lot of fun to do. "To me, Frisbee golf is one of those sports people of all ages can play, whether they're competitive or not.
