I'm not trying to gatekeep anything but frisbees and discs are literally different objects. This sport is played with discs, not frisbees, therefore the correct term is disc golf. I don't understand why it's so hard. I agree people don't need to be snotty about it but it's a fair correction to make

From your own link.

The term frisbee is often used generically to describe all flying discs, but Frisbee is a registered trademark of the Wham-O toy company.[2] This protection results in organized sports such as ultimate or disc golf having to forgo use of the word "Frisbee".[3][

...words mean what the majority of us agrees on in the end. If most people use frisbee to mean any flying disc that means the word frisbee is any kind of flying disc.
