Timely thread. Took both my boys to play a round of disc golf yesterday for the first time. Figured at ages 11 and 9 they were about old enough to try. We played a short wooded course (2,739 ft total with every hole below 300ft). They used some of my discs (I havn't played since college and lost a lot of my discs through various moves, but found my old Hawk, Valkyrie and Orc) and they both enjoyed it. So much so that I went on Amazon and picked up two Mako3s for them to use the next time as their own discs to see if they continue to enjoy. Looking forward to building out my collection... again
Any other advice about discs suitable for younger players feel free to drop in. They both managed the Hawk pretty well and I remember using the Mako3 often in college so figured it's a good beginner disc for them. If they hate it, I'll try out those Dino Discs I've also seen mentioned in various posts.
