Disc Golfing

Believe it or not, the kids you see in this picture are golfing. You’re probably asking where the pretty green grass is and where are their golf clubs? Well this isn’t the same golf as legend Bobby Jones played back in his day. None of the old timers got to try their skill with disc golfing. The men and women that make up the professional golfing circuits of today could try this new type of golf, but I have never seen or heard about one of them trying it. Adults can play disc golf and it’s not just a game for the children to play.

The hard part is finding a disc golf course in your local area. Many of these disc courses are popping up in parks and it’s usually free to play this type of golf. If you’re lucky enough to find a disc course in your area. Instead of a hole like typical golfers use, these players use a chain-like net as their target. No golf clubs, golf balls, or golf bags is needed for disc golf. You simply need a Frisbee or disc and you’re all ready to go!

Just like in real golf, you start a long ways from your target. You have to throw the disc as hard as you can, then where ever it lands, you will make your 2nd throw from there. You keep going until you manage to get your disc caught in the chain netting. Keep score the same way as you would in standard golf. The good news for disc golfers, is that you rarely lose your disc, so usually one disc is all you need to play a round of disc golf.

Disc golf is a great sport for kids and all parents should try to find a course, so they could take their little ones to play. Don’t forget about the other golf and kids like to play it too. A putt putt course is a nice way to introduce your kids to golf, but some parents are letting their kids play on the big golf courses. I think this is great and the golf supplies are cheaper for kids than it is for us adults.

I found a great set of golf clubs online to get you started. These golf clubs for kids are on sale and it includes everything you need to get started. This set is made by Cleveland and it’s for kids that are 7 to 10 years old (right-handed set) and it includes a driver/wood for the fairways, a hybrid club, an iron, putter, and even has a sand wedge included! The kids will be able to take off and put on the head covers that come for the hybrid and driver clubs. It also has a matching golf bag that will come with this Cleveland golf set for kids.

Once you buy this golf package, all you need is a few tees and golf balls to go play an actual game of golf. I know golf clubs and equipment is not cheap. Many golfers will have one club or special driver in their golf bag that costs $200 or more for just that one club. You can buy this junior set of golf clubs; which has everything for the kids and it’s cheaper than just one of the adult clubs would cost. I would like to buy a set of these for my twin nephews and get them playing golf real early. Try to find some extra time this summer and take your kids to play golf with you. I’m sure they can return the favor and take you out to play a good game of disc golf. Just make a day out of it and do both!
