Why should I play?
The ongoing fitness boom
finds more and more people taking up recreational
activities in an effort to improve health and quality of
life. Disc golf provides upper and lower body
conditioning, aerobic exercise, and promotes a
combination of physical and mental abilities that allow
very little risk of physical injury. Concentration
skills increase by mastering shots and negotiating
obstacles. Players of limited fitness levels can start
slowly and gradually increase their level of play as
fitness improves. Scheduling is also flexible; a round
takes one to two hours, and may be played alone,
eliminating the difficulty of scheduling tee times. And
as in traditional golf, disc golfers find themselves
'hooked'; increasing the likelihood of frequent
participation. Disc golf offers year-round fitness, even
in rain or snow. Perhaps the greatest attribute of the
sport is the expense - or rather, the lack of it. A
professional quality disc costs about $10, and it only
takes one for basic play.
And, of course, there's
the sheer fun of the game - no matter what your age or
skill level! Play disc golf - the sport of the future! |
