The object of Disc Golf is to complete a course of 9 or 18 holes with
the fewest number of throws of the disc.
It is important to know that Disc Golf is a sport that:
- has existed for more than 30 years
- is played on more than 2500 courses in 30 countries.
- includes more than 50 Disc Golf courses installed in British Columbia, including several in Greater Vancouver (http://discbc.com/clubs/) with the glaring exception being Surrey
