disc golf
Throwing for baskets
Disc golf is a sport modeled on golf but played with flying discs thrown at elevated metal baskets.
Players traverse a course, throwing from tee to target in as few throws as possible.
Like ball golf, courses have par values and obstacles—trees, water, elevation changes: There's a free disc golf course in the park.
