Introduction to Frisbee Golf by Ms. Aurand
Object of the Game: Toss or throw frisbee until you make a goal, get it into the basket. Each throw counts as a stroke, similar to “ball golf”. There are penalty throws in this golf too! There are 3 parts of a hole: tee pad, fairway, and basket. Each hole has a designated par. Goal baskets can be near water, under trees, in the woods, to make the course more competitive.
Frisbee’s Not the same as a “Whamo” frisbee. Driver-Thin edge to cut through the air. Mid-range-2 nd shot Putter-10 yards of hole Each has a different weight in grams, and thickness to the edge of the frisbee. Numbers on the bottom of frisbee: Speed, Glide, Turn, Fade
Types of Frisbee’s Top of frisbee vs. bottom- 1 st hole the flip of the frisbee determines who goes first.
Numbers: Speed: The ability of the disc to cut through the air. Speed ratings are listed from Higher the number the faster the disc. Slower disc’s however; have a far less chance of flying past the basket.
Numbers Continued: Glide-Discs ability to maintain lift during flight. Discs with more glide are best for new players. Glide is rated from 1-7. Beginners should choose discs with more glide. Turn- Tendency of a disc to turn or bank to the right for. Discs are ranked from +1, which is resistant to turning right. -5 rating will turn the most.
Numbers continued: Fade- Frisbee hooks left. Fade is rated from 0-5. Zero equals straightest, and 5 equals a hard left turn.
4 parts of a throw: Grip- How the disc should be held. For each throw the grip varies.
Step 2 and 3 Stance- Placement of your feet. Wind up- Physical motion of your body.
Step 4 Release- The position of your wrist, hand, fingers when releasing the disc
Types of throws: Backhand grip and throw. (X) step and release of the backhand throw:

Tomahawk: Overhand Throw: This is used to throw the frisbee through dense shrubbery or over a tall bush.
Terms: Lie-The spot where the disc comes to rest. (A player’s next throw starts behind this lie). Ace- Occurs when a player makes their first shot into the basket. Circle- On a true course, there is a 10 meter circle around the basket goal. Throw: A player has 30 sec. to make their throw.
