Nice, sunny days are back in Southern California… well they never really left, but you get the point! So with spring coming along, Fox Rent A Car will introduce some great and fun outdoor activities and nature escapes. If you are in San Diego with a group of friends or on a family trip, there is one fun outdoors activity you should consider: disc golf! After visiting all the popular attractions, doing a bit of shopping and checking the free things to do, plan an afternoon of disc golf in San Diego.
Fox Rent A Car presents: What is Disc Golf?
Disc golf is a fun and entertaining sport that you play in a large park, with flying discs, like frisbees. That’s why it’s also often called Frisbee golf. You must like walking, as, just like playing golf, you will have to walk around the park to get to your next target. The goal is to throw your disk and reach the target or disc basket in the least number of throws possible. The advantage of this sport and game is that it is great for all ages, and even if you get tired from walking, no one will stop you from resting a little and enjoy your time. There is no time pressure, just make sure to let the other players behind you go ahead of you if you want or need more time than they need!
The rules are pretty straightforward. If you know a bit about golf you pretty much understand how disc golf works. Each basket needs to be reached in a maximum numbers of throws; and if you need more shots, then you get more points and in the end you might lose! The most competitive players make the basic rules more specific, including penalties and such.
As you play you will find out that there are many different discs, that can be used for different purposes… but this is more for people playing disc golf at a more professional level, or that very dedicated to that sport… you might not really care if you are just playing disc golf in San Diego for fun!
