Disc Golf - GotDiscGolf.com Launches New Disc Golf Website

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 20, 2008 -- Tampa, FL - GotDiscGolf.com has launched its new online magazine that covers everything that has to do with disc golf. Disc Golf is one of the fastest growing sports out there! However when you try to explain disc golf to some one who has never played, you tend to get a look as if you were a crazy person. So how does someone describe this sport to the average joe? The best way to explain it is to bring them out to play.

Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however, players use a flying disc, or Frisbee® The sport was formalized in the 1970's, and shares with "ball golf" the object of completing each hole in the fewest number of strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest number of throws). A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target which is the "hole". The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets; the most common is called a Pole Hole which is an elevated metal basket. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed. The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Finally, the "putt" lands in the basket and the hole is completed. Disc golf shares the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether it's sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway. However, Disc golf rarely requires a greens fee, you probably won't need to rent a cart, and you never get stuck with a bad "tee time." It is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages, male and female, regardless of economic status.

Disc golf offers many of the same pleasures as ball golf: fresh air in a beautiful landscape, the camaraderie of friends, and the challenge and excitement of combining personal skill and speed to project an object toward a target. In addition, disc golfers can feel better about themselves and their environment, knowing that chemical pollutants aren't being used to keep their playing fields looking good, nor do acres of trees need to be clear-cut or wetlands filled in, as is sometimes the case for too many ball golf courses. And perhaps best of all, disc golf is inexpensive. The only equipment you need is a disc / frisbee, and most disc golf courses are located in municipal parks, which allows people to play for free or charge a minimal fee for daily or yearly access.
