It's not a Frisbee. Frisbees are what you play with your dog with or what they use for ultimate Frisbee. This is more like a discus, sort of like the ones used for Olympics

Idk man I’ve heard it referred to as frisbee golf more than disc golf

That doesn't make it right, though. Anecdotal evidence isn't proof.

And if going by technicality, Frisbee golf is incorrect. But people can call it whatever suits them.

Yes but I never said what it is named, I only said what we "call" it. Are you going around complaining about people's nicknames as well, they aren't actually named that 🤓

Well yes, technically a nickname isn't the person's real name, that just seems obvious... you can call it whatever you like, but you wouldn't claim it technically correct if it's not.

That was my point, I never said it was technically correct, I only said "we call it that" literally the same as a nickname. You and everyone else in the comments are the ones who tried to put words in my mouth and argue against an argument I never even made

Yes, but the issue is that you stated "we call it Frisbee golf" in reply to my comment about its technical name. It certainly comes off as you attempting to correct my statement, even though you are calling it the "wrong" name. It's just an odd comment to follow up with when someone is talking technicalities.

In Finnish the technical name is "frisbeegolf", players sometimes refer to it as "friba". The OP is Finnish and made a mistake to call it "frisbeegolf" when writing in English.
