Disco de golfe: A Sport for All Ages
Disc golf, also known as frisbee golf, is a leisure sport similar to golf. Participants need to navigate around natural obstacles such as trees, grass, and rivers, trying to advance towards the target basket along the fairway with the fewest number of throws. This sport is suitable for people of all ages, not only training participants’ throwing distance and accuracy but also assessing their judgment and decision-making abilities based on terrain, wind direction, and landforms.
