Disc Golf: An Introduction

Japanese name: ディスクゴルフ入門

Materials

How to play

  1. An adult sets a short course of 3–5 holes with clearly defined successful targets. Check that nobody is ahead.
  2. Throw from the start one at a time. Nobody walks forward to retrieve until everyone has thrown.
  3. Subsequent throws start where your own disc stopped. The farthest player from the target throws first while others wait behind.
  4. Finish a hole by landing in the dedicated goal or hitting the agreed target. Record the number of throws.
  5. Lowest total across all holes wins. Initially set a cap, such as 6 throws per hole. Everyone plays the same holes.

Ways to adapt

Younger primary school children: three short holes. Older primary school children: five holes.
