Itinerary: | |||||||
Come out and throw a few discs! Disc Golf is similar to real golf but has a metal basket instead of a hole. The goal is to get your disc in the basket in the least number of throws. There are 9 holes at this course which vary from 65 to 134 meters in distance. While this event is suitable for beginners, you should be able to throw a disc/frisbee reasonably well to get the most out of this event. Golf Discs are recommended although Ultimate Frisbees-175g will work if you just want to check out disc golf. All other discs are generally unsuitable. We may go for coffee or lunch afterwards for those who are interested. Check out the following links: Alberta Disc Golf for more info on the sport. Info on buying discs: Disc Selection Help For New Players
