Disc Golf is a combination of the sports Golf and Frisbee. The game is played on a course with a series of holes, each with its own tee area and target. The objective is to compete the course with the fewest number of throws.
Tee-Pad – the launching zone at the start of a hole
Disc Golf Korb – the target of each hole
Golf Discs – the sports equipment
