Disc golf is a fun and challenging sport that is a great way to get exercise while having some fun. You can play indoors or out, with a variety of courses available for all skill levels and ages.
Whether you’re an experienced player or just starting out, playing disc golf is a great activity for the whole family! The game uses Frisbee-like discs, with targets called baskets that you try to get your disc into.
There are a number of disc golf courses in Knightstown that offer varying degrees of difficulty for all players. Several are in parks, including Howling Coyote and Lake Fenwick Park. These courses are also family-friendly and feature restrooms, picnic tables and other amenities.
A New Disc Golf Course In Knightstown
The Park Board has worked hard to bring a disc golf course to Sunset Park, a recently-renovated area of the city that features a children’s playground, basketball courts and access to two bodies of water (Montgomery Creek and a spring-fed lake that’s stocked for fishing). It’s a great place for families with younger kids who aren’t familiar with the sport but might want to give it a shot.
A Disc Golf Practice Net
Using a throwing net is a good way to improve your long range disc golf game in an indoor setting. You can work on your arm strength and shape, as well as other technical aspects of the game like disc release angles, all from inside a gym or any indoor space.
A Putting Practice Track
The sport of disc golf requires accuracy, so you’ll want to improve your putting technique year-round. Taking time to reflect on your putting skills can help you identify areas that need improvement and make them part of a plan to work on during your next field session or scored round.
A putting track can be a great tool for practicing a wide variety of skills, such as accuracy, balance, and speed. You can work on different techniques, including a “putter” style of putting, which involves only dropping in one putt at a time and using a counterweight to hold back your throw.
It is possible to create an indoor disc golf track at home, but it would be difficult to make the tracks as large as a traditional disc golf course and maintain the temperature and humidity needed to be a safe and comfortable environment for practice.
In addition, an indoor putting track would require more expensive equipment and be harder to keep clean and in good condition than a traditional disc golf course.
Indoor Disc Golf League
If you live near a disc golf course, consider creating an indoor putting league to bring people together and help them improve their putting technique. You can start small by inviting newer players to join your league and work on their skills with the help of other players.
Disc golf leagues are a great way to promote the sport and encourage non-disc golfers to try it out, so take the opportunity to start one of your own! Organizing a local putting league can be as simple or as elaborate as you choose. Regardless of the size and structure of your league, make sure to offer prizes for improving your putts from week to week.
