Disc Golf
Disc Golf is played like traditional "ball" golf, but with flying discs instead of balls and clubs. One point (stroke) is counted each time the disc is thrown and when a penalty is incurred. The objective is to play each hole in the fewest strokes possible. The player with the lowest total strokes for the entire course wins.
