Sense and purpose
The purpose of the association is defined in the statutes; namely the promotion and spreading of the DiscGolf sport in Switzerland. In doing so, we are guided on the one hand by international conditions and on the other hand by national needs.
The general goal is to be able to offer a well organized and functioning sport with the clubs in as many regions of Switzerland as possible, but also to make DiscGolf possible as a popular sport for everyone.
