What is Disc Golf?

A complete guide to understanding disc golf - the fastest growing sport perfect for betting

Disc Golf Basics

Disc golf is a precision sport played much like traditional golf, but instead of hitting a ball into a hole, players throw specialized discs toward elevated metal baskets. The objective is simple: complete each hole in the fewest throws possible.

What makes disc golf exciting for betting is its combination of skill, strategy, and the unpredictable elements that can dramatically change outcomes - from weather conditions to course layouts.

  • Drivers: Long-distance throws off the tee
  • Mid-range: Controlled approach shots

  • Birdie: One under par (-1)
