Is that something like Ultimate (frizbee)?
Not even close. It used to be called Frisbee Golf back in the day when it was invented because they were using regular frisbees. However now the discs barely resemble a frisbee. Most discs have a beveled edge making them more aerodynamic enabling them to fly farther and faster. Golf discs are also more dense then a regular frisbee. Your typical Ultimate disc will be about 30cm wide and 175g. A Golf disc will be 22cm wide and 175g. You definitely can't play catch with them.Also they don't have as much float as a regular frisbee, they fall out of the air faster. A right handed beginner throwing backhand will have their discs fall hard to the left after a short flight. They require a greater rate of rotation to stay flying straight. (It is just not throwing a frisbee). To give a g

A right handed beginner throwing backhand will have their discs fall hard to the left after a short flight. They require a greater rate of rotation to stay flying straight. (It is just not throwing a frisbee). To give a good distance example. The furthest I have thrown an Ultimate disc is approximately 225ft. (50yd line on a football field making field goals). But a golf disc I have thrown 530ft. The object is just like regular golf. You have a tee box, fairway, hazards and a goal. However instead of a hole in the ground, we use a chain link basket mounted on a pole. You need to disc to stay hanging in the chains or resting in the basket. Most disc golf holes range in average from 270-500ft. With the mean around 340ft. Most disc golf courses are 18 holes, however there are a few that are only 9 and some that have more.
