Disc Golf: More than just a trend

Tee at hole 4 at Reed Park, Michigan

Disc golfing has been around for a long time, but it wasn't until the last decade or so that the past time began making headway as a sport and not just a hobby. In fact, the Professional Disc Golf Association is making sure that everyone has a chance to get to know this great game. Other non-profit community groups, such as Disc Golfers of Michigan, are solely dedicated to promoting the sport in their community, and encouraging people to get outside and try new things. You don't have to be a top tier athlete to play disc golf, but at the same time the sport is a great workout.

Socially, disc golf is an excellent game to play with friends and family. Hanging out at the disc course is a great way to make new friends, too. In fact, Disc Golf Scene, is a social networking website dedicated entirely to the game of disc golf. At Disc Golf Scene you can post scores, meet new players, add rival players, and even trade discs with other players at their Trading Post. Disc golfers are a tight knit community. Most disc golfers only play for the love of the game, and almost always show other "discers" respect on the course. Disc golf has come a long way from the days that people thought it just an odd trend. It is now a professional sport.
