Disc golf, our favourite sport, has been growing in popularity in recent years. The simple act of throwing a disc into a series of baskets, with the goal of completing the course in as few throws as possible, can be enjoyed by anyone. While disc golf is a relatively new sport, it has already developed a variety of names and terms that are used by players and fans. Here are a few we've come across...
Frisbee golf is one of the most commonly used names for disc golf. This term comes from the fact that many people use Frisbees (a trademarked brand of flying disc) to play the sport.
Frolf is a term that was popularised in the 1990s, and is a combination of the words "Frisbee" and "golf."
This name is straightforward and simply describes the sport for what it is: golf played with a disc.
Some players use the term "disk golf" instead of "disc golf," but the two terms are interchangeable.
While "throw and catch" may not technically be a name for disc golf, it is a term that some players use to describe the sport.
The baskets used in disc golf are often called "chain baskets," and this has led to some players referring to the sport as "chain golf."
Disc golf has developed a variety of names and terms over the years. Whether you're a seasoned disc golfer or just getting started, it's always fun to learn new names and terminology associated with this exciting and challenging sport!
