Disc golf is played much like golf except, instead of a ball and clubs, players use a flying disc (also known as a frisbee). Like golf, the object is to complete each hole in the fewest strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest throws). A disc golf hole begins from a tee area and ends at an elevated metal basket. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive throw from the spot where the previous throw landed, with trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways providing challenging obstacles for the golfer. When the 'putt' lands in the basket, the hole is complete.
Land acknowledgement
The Saint John Region is situated on the traditional and unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati Nations. This territory is covered by Peace and Friendship Treaties signed with the British Crown in the 1700s. The treaties did not surrender the territory and resources, but recognized Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati title, and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
Envision Saint John: The Regional Growth Agency pays respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land, and is committed to moving forward in the spirit of truth, collaboration, and reconciliation.
