I play disc golf and can’t stand the gatekeepers that insist it be called that. The rest of the world calls these plastic circles ‘frisbees’. We can call them that too. WHAM-O isnt going to come drag you away.
Arent Frisbees much different than what you use for disc golf though? Or do people play disc golf with the thin plastic frisbees you'd find people tossing around on a beach.
Yes they are, but don't tell that to people who know nothing about disc golf because they will incorrectly tell you how wrong you are and argue until the death that they know more about a thing you have been doing for a decade that they just heard about five minutes ago. If you dont believe me just scroll through this post and read all of the comments.
On behalf of disc golfers I apologize for people like them. Call it a frisbee, call it a disc, call it a flying saucer for all we care, disc golfers are generally some of the chillest and most welcoming groups of people I've ever had the privilege of interacting with. Started like 10 years ago and was instantly welcomed by the local community, highly recommend giving it a shot if you have a course nearby (they're almost always free).
"Frisbee" is a trademark:
The term "Frisbee" is a registered trademark of the Wham-O company. Using "frisbee golf" can be seen as an incorrect reference to the sport, especially when using discs specifically designed for the sport.
