Discgolf
Disc golf is, alongside padel, one of the world’s fastest growing sports. Disc golf or frisbee golf, as it was previously called, is both easy and cheap to play. You get out into nature and the goal is to get from the launch site to the hole in as few throws as possible. A course usually consists of 9 or 18 holes and when you have reached the end and thrown the disc into a disc golf basket, you have completed the hole.
If you want to be advanced, each hole, just like in regular golf, has a par (ideal score) that you are expected to complete the hole with. There are different types of discs such as putters, drivers and mid-range. But if you are a beginner, ignore all this, you will do fine with a disc or a starter set that has one disc of each and a little patience.
