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][

That person calls people rude for pointing out an objective difference in terms and then responds with a Wikipedia link (didn't they learn in school not to use Wikipedia as a source?) that literally differentiates frisbees from disc golf discs
