What is Disc Golf?
Disc Golf is similar to traditional golf; however, instead of using golf clubs and balls to aim for a hole, disc golf players use disc golf discs and aim for a disc golf basket.
Disc Golf is one of the best lifetime fitness sports. It is easy to learn, a healthy activity, and accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels.
How to play Disc Golf?
1. Each hole begins with a tee throw. Tee throws must be completed within or behind the designated tee area.
2. The lie is the spot where the player’s previous throw has landed. Mark each lie with a mini marker disc or leave the thrown disc on the ground where it landed. The player’s subsequent throw is made from directly behind the marked lie.
3. The player with the least number of strokes on the previous hole is the first to tee off on the next hole. After all players have teed off, the player whose disc is the farthest from the hole always throws first.
4. A disc that comes to rest in the disc golf basket or is suspended in the chains constitutes the successful completion of that hole.

Sardinen
On Sports
Sardinen is like hide-and-seek.
Ever heard of a reverse version of hide-and-seek where only one player hides?
In this game, a kid is chosen to hide while the rest of the kids have to find him. We need to count to 30 while the kid hides.
Whoever finds the kid has to hide with him/her.
Why only one hides?
One after the other, the others join the first kid in hiding, and everyone is together like sardines in a can. But the last one who finds them loses.
That’s why it's called “Sardinen,” because of “Sardinas”. They look like sardines when hiding.
