Disc golf involves throwing a flying disc into metal baskets across a course of 9 or 18 holes, similar to traditional golf but more accessible and affordable. Players walk the course carrying their discs, covering 1-3 miles per round over varied terrain including hills and wooded paths. The throwing motion engages the core, shoulders, and hips through a rotational power movement. Disc golf provides a relaxing outdoor workout that combines cardiovascular benefits from walking with upper body engagement from throwing.
