WHAT IS DISC GOLF?
Disc golf is, in simple terms, golf played with frisbees. The sport is usually played on a course with 9 or 18 holes (upstanding baskets), and involve a nice mix of walking outdoors, socialising and strategic play. The discs that players throw come in 3 main types with names related to ball golf (putter, mid-ranges, and fairway drivers). Each disc has a unique flight characteristic, and there are hundreds to choose from. Therefore disc selection, throwing technique and throwing angle generate interesting strategic decisions.

EQUIPMENT
You'll be able to borrow discs at most of our events to give the sport a try. Alternatively, René from our local disc golf store Schiibelade offers rental discs, and always glad to give helpful advice on a Starter Set, provide coaching, and run events. Disc golf discs cost around 20 CHF each, and you generally only need 1 or 2 to get started (1 putter and 1 mid-range). No other specialist equipment needed.
