Disc Golf/ Frisbee® Golf - another wonderful reason to love St Cloud MN - Day 6

On a sunny day out at Riverside Park in St Cloud MN, you can easily find those who will tell you that this is the greatest sport EVER! And around St Cloud Disc Golf has been growing in popularity for years. The sport is a little bit golf mixed in with a little bit of Frisbee®, and a lot of fun, just ask anyone who has played. There is even a club for serious enthusiasts the St Cloud Disc Golf Club.

Disc Golf is easy to play; each player tees off with a throw of their disk, and much like in golf after you tee off, you want to keep your disk heading towards the hole. In disc golf the hole is usually an elevated wire basket called a Pole Hole®. You start your next throw where your last throw landed, and no mulligans (at least that is what I was told). The object is to get your disc, in as few throws as possible, into the pole hole.

The sport is open to all, no expensive gear (although if you want you can) no greens fees and you do not have to be athletic, just be able to traverse the course and throw a plastic disk.
