You already know that disc golf is important. Not just for fun, not just for exercise—but for survival. When the grid collapses and the skies rain ash, your ability to hurl plastic through the wasteland might mean the difference between life and death. But before you can master the apocalyptic fairways, you need to know how to play. This guide will show you exactly how to disc golf… Doomsday style.
How to Play Disc Golf
Step 1 – Get Discs
You don’t walk into the wasteland barehanded. You need discs. And not just any discs—you need tools that can double as sport and survival gear. The only real place to arm yourself is right here at DoomsdayDiscs.com. Our plastics cut through air and chaos alike. They’ll fly down the fairway, or serve as emergency ammo when civilization burns.
Start with a Starter Set
A Doomsday starter set gives you everything you need to get going. A putter for close combat, a midrange for versatile survival shots, and a driver to unleash distance when you need to cover ground fast. Consider it your bug-out bag of disc golf essentials.
Step 2 – Find a Course
Courses are scattered across the land. Many are free, hidden in parks and forests—perfect staging grounds for when society collapses. Use them now to practice your aim. Later, they may serve as hunting grounds, meeting places, or contested territory.
Step 3 – Learn the Rules
We’re not big on government mandates or PDGA regulations. But rules still matter. They keep games fair when you play with friends—the same friends who’ll have your back when the world crumbles. Learn basic scoring: lowest number of throws wins. Out-of-bounds is trouble. And always remember, survival isn’t chaos—it’s discipline with a knife’s edge.
Step 4 – Learn the Backhand Throw
The backhand is the foundation of disc golf. Grip tight, swing smooth, and release with purpose. Think of it like drawing a blade—you don’t want to flail around. You want precision, strength, and control. Master this, and you’ll have a reliable throw for the wasteland.
Step 5 – Learn the Forehand Throw
The forehand, or flick, is your sidearm survival skill. Perfect for skipping around obstacles, or for controlled side attacks. Learn how to do it right, because sometimes the battlefield doesn’t give you a clean backhand line. For more on the best forehand-ready weapons, read our guide: Best Forehand Discs.
Step 6 – Learn to Putt
You can bomb drives all day, but if you can’t finish, you’ll look like a fool. In disc golf, failure to putt equals double and triple bogeys. In the apocalypse, failure to putt means wasted ammo. Get putter packs. Buy a Doomsday practice basket. Drill your short game until it’s second nature. Survival doesn’t allow second chances.
Step 7 – Join a Community
Disc golf isn’t just a solo journey. You’ll need allies. Join a local league, find your people, and train together. And when the fallout dust settles, you’ll want the strongest team possible. The Doomsday Discord is open—our ranks are inclusive, united, and the best way to ensure survival. When the end comes, you won’t want to face it alone. Join our community today!
Step 8 – Repeat
Disc golf is a cycle. Play, learn, fail, survive. Play again. Each round makes you stronger—physically, mentally, and spiritually prepared for collapse. Learn from your mistakes. Correct them. Improve. The more you play, the more natural survival becomes.
Step 9 – Stockpile Gear
You can never have too many discs. Drivers for distance, mids for control, putters for finishing. Extras for trading when plastic becomes currency. Don’t forget Doomsday swag and apparel—they let you blend in with the tribe. When the end times hit, backups won’t just be nice… they’ll be essential.
Disc golf isn’t just a game. It’s preparation for survival. Learn it now. Live it forever. When the world burns, the only ones still standing will be those who know how to disc golf.
