Get those steps in on the disc golf course in 2022.
A round of disc golf can provide a number of health benefits, both physically and mentally. Strolling through nature and your local course for a few hours provides fresh air, a moderate, or in some cases, a more strenuous hike, as well as the mental challenge of completing your round.
From fresh air, physical activity to the community aspect of the sport, disc golf provides a wide-ranging list of mental health benefits.
Some called it nature therapy, a chance to get outside in the fresh air away from the stresses of daily life. Others enjoyed setting attainable goals and working to achieve them, an outlet to channel energy. It’s been a way for some to socialize, to join a community with at least one thing in common: the joy of flight.
The simple joy of flight was one mental health benefit of disc golf.
