Disc Golf is similar to normal golf in that you have a course with tees, compulsory obstacles and pins. There are two forms of Disc Golf:

• Informal Disc Golf also known as "Object Golf" which is reliant on throwing a Disc (in most cases of the Ultimate style) from one selected object to another, i.e. Tree to rubbish bin, Lamp post to park bench.
• Formal Disc Golf that is sanctioned by the Professional Disc Golfers Association (PDGA) and played on specifically designed courses throughout the World. The Australian Disc Golf, a subcommittee of the AFDA is the local affiliate. This is played on specifically designed courses in Parks (dependant on Local, State and Federal Gov permission) or on Private land. In today's world there are moves to establish Disc Golf courses within ball golf courses thus utilising their design more effectively. With this code Players throw special Golf Discs from specific Tees to what is referred to as a Disc or Chain Catcher.
