Did you know disc golf has its very own holiday? Yep, this Saturday is National Disc Golf Day. While you won’t get a day off with pay, you can celebrate with us by enjoying a sale on many different brands. More sale info below.
National Disc Golf Day
National Disc Golf Day started back in 2016 by two people passionate about disc golf. Jason Wilder was a PDGA state coordinator for Minnesota. He teamed up with Throw Pink co-founder Sara Nicholson to petition for the ‘holiday’. With input from disc golf legends Dan “Stork” Roddick, Jim Palmeri, and Tom Monroe, the group decided on the first Saturday in August as the day to celebrate and recognize disc golf.
There were a several reasons why the first Saturday was chosen. First, the American Flying Disc Open was held in August 1974. That was one of the first competitions in the U.S. First prize for the event was a new car, a 1974 Datsun B210.
The second reason August was chosen was because it was the month that “Steady” Ed Headrick patented the ‘Flying Disc Entrapment Device’, or disc golf basket, in 1977. It was a celebration of the month that gave us two important events in disc golf history.
How Does Someone Celebrate National Disc Golf Day?
There are several ways disc golfers can celebrate this fun day:
1 – Play disc golf! You could play in a tournament, get together with friends to play, or play a solo round. In other words, what you were probably going to do anyway!
2 – Grow the sport. Invite someone new to play with you. You might just end up with another disc golf buddy.
3 – Watch some disc golf. This year, National Disc Golf Day happens to fall during the World Championships. It’s a good excuse to kick back and watch the best disc golfers in the world (after you play a round or two yourself,)
The National Disc Golf Day sale continues through Monday, August 4.
How Will You Celebrate NDGD?
No matter how you choose to celebrate National Disc Golf Day, it’s all about appreciating the sport that we love. Whether you are playing, introducing a friend to disc golf, watching the top players compete, or shopping for a new disc for your bag, it’s the perfect day to enjoy disc golf. Have a great ‘holiday’ and be sure to take advantage of the sale prices at Infinite.
You’ve finished your disc shopping at Infinite, and now you’re ready to check out. You still have another option. One that will add a surprise to your order. Or, should I say, add a little MYSTERY to your order. That’s right, I’m talking about the option to include a Mystery Disc when you check out.
What is a Mystery Disc? It is a random disc that we’ll include with your order. Just click the Mystery Box option, then click ‘continue’ and we’ll do the rest.
But, what disc will I get?While we won’t ruin the surprise and tell you which mold it might be, we will guarantee you two things: It will be a premium-plastic disc, and it could be anyone of the scores of brands that we carry at Infinite. That’s the fun of the Mystery Disc! It’s like a little bit of Christmas surprise with your order. And it’s a fun way to try out brands or molds that might not be on your radar… yet!
Is is a good deal? Yes! Even at our regular price you’ll get a sweet disc at a sweeter price. However, right now our Mystery Discs are on sale. Through the end of the month, get a premium disc for only $8! That is a screaming deal! There isn’t a better time to give a Mystery Disc a try.
What if I order regularly from Infinite? First, thank you for your patronage! Second, yes, there is a small chance that if you add a Mystery Disc to an order, then add another Mystery Disc a short time later with a different order, you might get the same mystery disc. We really try to avoid that. We regularly add different discs to our Mystery pool and we keep our selection as fresh as possible. Our order pullers choose one randomly,
Click the box when you check out and join the many disc golfers who love a little surprise with their order. Remember, the sale runs through July 31!
Thought Space Athletics (TSA) is a disc golf brand synonymous with creativity, flair, and cool stamps. Their stamps are nothing short of works of art. However, they didn’t start out selling discs.
TSA dipped its toes in the disc golf world over a decade ago, when founder Aaron Wilmot observed a lack of high-quality, well-designed apparel for disc golfers. He set out to become a brand know for comfort, quality, and amazing designs.
Adding Plastic
After achieving that goal, and making a name for TSA, they decided to make a move to also become a disc golf manufacturer. They took their high standards for quality, and their amazing creativity with them as they began their journey toward producing their own discs.
In 2019, the first mold from TSA was approved by the PDGA, the Mantra. The slightly understable control driver has been a popular mold ever since. Following the Mantra, TSA has been regularly releasing new molds, including drivers, mids, and putters. They have such a variety of discs that you could build an all-TSA bag!
Bonus Discount Code
This week, all TSA molds are on sale! You don’t need any codes for the sale. However, if you are looking for a Construct, Coalesce, or a Synapse, you can use discount code TSA30 to take an ADDITIONAL 30% off. Just enter the code TSA30 when you are checking out, when asked for a discount code. The sale and the discount code end on 6/30. Check out our selection and order your TSA molds today!
Years ago, professional disc golfer Drew Gibson had a vision for a disc golf brand. He wanted to start a company whose mission was to offer a variety of high-quality discs at reasonable prices. In 2021, that dream became a reality with the creation of Finish Line Discs.
Finish Line had their first mold approved by the PDGA in January, 2022. The inaugural mold for the new brand was the Era, a control driver with a fairly neutral flight. Since then, Finish Line has added putters, mids, distance drivers, and a couple more control drivers
The Finish Line name, along with the names of its disc molds, clearly reflects a racing and race car-inspired theme. Molds like Chicane, Interval, and Sector are all tied to race track concepts, while Daytona unmistakably highlights the brand’s connection to racing.
Infinite Discs has the best selection of Finish Line Discs, and for a few days you can take 20% off our already low prices by using the discount code, Finish20. The code will be good from now until Tuesday. Check out all of the Finish Line molds HERE, then enter the code Finish20 when you check out.

Infinite Discs is offering a discount code for all green discs for a limited time, so whether you’re looking to add a new, green driver, midrange, or putter to your bag, now’s the perfect chance!
A Quick History of St. Patrick’s Day
Before we give the details of the sale, let’s take a moment to learn the origins of St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was actually born in Britain in the late 4th century. As a teenager, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave. After several years, he escaped, only to later return as a missionary to spread Christianity. Over time, he became a legendary figure associated with Irish culture, and March 17th—believed to be the date of his death—became a day of remembrance.
The holiday, originally a religious observance, has grown into a global celebration of Irish heritage, complete with parades, festive gatherings, and, of course, lots of green. Wearing green is said to make you invisible to leprechauns, who supposedly pinch anyone they can see. Whether or not you believe in pinching little tricksters, wearing green has become an undeniable tradition on St. Patrick’s Day.
Save Some Green on Green Discs!
At Infinite Discs, we’re all about bringing the best discs at the best prices to the disc golf community, and what better way to do that than with a St. Patrick’s Day sale? For a limited time, you can use the Discount Code: Green20 to take 20% off all green discs.

When six university schoolmates were introduced to disc sports, little did they know the depth they would get into the sport. They started out playing ultimate, but were eventually introduced to disc golf. During their final year in school they decided to start a company whose mission was to promote flying disc sports. Yikun Discs was born!
Yikun became a big name regionally, and eventually became the first Asian company to get discs approved by the PDGA, USA Ultimate, and the World Flying Disc Federation. They currently ship to over 40 countries.
Learn more about their company and brand from our blog featuring Yikun, HERE
Yikun’s first disc golf mold was approved in 2013, and since then they have added an impressive line of discs. Their plastic offerings has grown as well. They now offer base plastics and premium plastics, as well as lighter plastics. They also have some swirly, good looking lines of plastic. What’s even better is that they are all on sale this week at Infinite!
Yikun On Sale
Yep, this week all of our Yikun discs are on sale. Keep in mind, they offer good prices on their molds anyway. Include a discount and you’ll find great deals on every kind of plastic. Wondering which molds to check out? Here are their most popular molds (although, all of them are on sale!):
1 – Nv Wa This understable fairway driver is great for newer players, and folks that need a little help getting more distance. It comes in 160-class plastics, up to max weight.
2 – Twin Swords If you’re looking for a high-speed mold that feels good in your hand and flies a long way, check out the Twin Swords. This is Yikun’s overmold disc. Also check out their Tortoise Fruit line for some interesting stamps.
3 – Hammer (Chui) The Hammer is an overstable putter that is great for technical up-shots. As a putter, it is a valuable tool in a headwind or for hyzer putts. The Hammer has a thumbtrack, but also an additional ‘track’ to help with consistent thumb placement.
4 – Xing As a beaded putter, the Xing will feel familiar to Judge/Wizard fans. The Xing flies straight and can be used to shape shots in wooded fairways. It is available in several plastic types.
5 – Gui Another popular putter in Yikun’s line is the Gui. With more stability than the Hammer, the Gui would make a great headwind thrower. It is beadless and feels great in your hand.
If you’re new to the world of disc golf, you might have heard seasoned players toss around terms like “PDGA rating” with the same importance as if they were discussing the stock market or the performance of their favorite sports team. You might have hear players bragging about their improvements, or lamenting a drop in their rating. But what exactly is a PDGA rating, and why does it matter? Let’s dive in—and not even mention math and calculations … well, sort of.
What Is a PDGA Rating?
The PDGA rating is a number that represents your general skill level as a disc golfer. It’s like a report card, but instead of judging you on algebra and biology, it reflects your performance on the course. Specifically, it represents your efforts during PDGA sanctioned tournaments. This rating allows players of all skill levels to be compared fairly, whether you’re a weekend warrior or a touring pro. No matter what skill level and rating you are, you can still compare yourself to any other player with a rating.
How Is Your PDGA Rating Calculated?
The process isn’t magic, but it does involve some math. Although the exact algorithm isn’t made public, we know approximately how they are determined. Ratings are based on the scores you’ve earned in PDGA-sanctioned events. Here’s how it works:
Establishing a Baseline: In every event, some players’ performances are used as a benchmark. These players, called propagators, already have established PDGA ratings. There needs to be several propagators playing in order to calculate round ratings.
Round Ratings: The PDGA determines the difficulty of the course that day by analyzing how propagators scored. Then, they calculate how many points your score is worth relative to the course’s difficulty. The course difficulty can be affected by things like wind and rain, so the difficulty level can change.
Averaging It Out: Your overall rating is the average of your round ratings from the past year—with some exceptions. For instance, if you have a particularly bad round (for example: you have a nightmare hole where you hit every tree, find every OB, and three-putt to finish), it might get excluded if it’s unusually low compared to your other scores. The algorithm recognizes that outlier scores aren’t a reflection of your actual skill level.
Why Does Your Rating Matter?
Along with bragging rights and a clear representation of our skill improvement, our PDGA rating determines your division eligibility in tournaments. Want to play in Advanced or move up to Open? Your rating will guide where you will be playing against similarly-skilled players. There are limits set by the PDGA that restricts people a high enough rating from playing in certain divisions. As mentioned, it’s also a handy way to track your progress over time. And let’s be honest, there’s something satisfying about seeing that number trend upward.
What If Your Rating Is Low?
First of all, no worries. Everyone starts somewhere. Some of the best players in the world once had ratings that might make them blush today. If your rating feels more “bumbling beginner” than “proud pro,” think of it as room for growth. Besides, a low rating just means you’re leaving plenty of room to surprise your competition!
As one wise disc golfer once said, “The only rating that matters is how much fun you’re having.” (Okay, maybe nobody said that, but they should have.) Keep that in mind if you find yourself worrying too much about your rating. Most of us are in this sport for the fun of it. So, have fun when you play! You might just find that the more relaxed you are, the more your rating will climb.
The holiday season is the perfect time to surprise the disc golf enthusiasts in your life with gifts that highlight their passion. This Christmas gift guide for disc golfers highlights the best presents for every budget, from premium gear to thoughtful stocking stuffers, regardless of the skill level of your disc golfer. These gift ideas also make great gifts for yourself!
Help them have a more enjoyable round with a sturdy disc golf cart. These carts make it easier to carry equipment around the course. With a variety of features and convenient add-ons, you’re sure to find the perfect cart for your disc golfer.
Bagboy Quad XL: Equipped with a drink holder, umbrella holder and built in storage, the Quad XL is our most popular cart. With stability and a high bag height, your disc golfer would love to find this gem under their Christmas tree!
Zuca Carts: Offer versatility with rolling bag designs and add-on saddlebags. Some models offer their own disc storage compartments. Others are designed to carry a separate bag.
Rovic RV1D 2.0 Cart: Throw your bag on this cart and you’ll be ready to go. It rolls easily and folds up compactly for easy storage in your home or vehicle.
Bring the game home with portable practice baskets, perfect for honing putting skills.
Doomsday Discs Lite: With several different colors to choose from, the DD Lite basket is an inexpensive, lightweight option for them. Having a basket readily available is one of the best ways to get regular practice, and improve putting skills!
DGA Mach Lite: Collapsible and portable, ideal for travel or backyard use. This basket is one of my favorites because of its convenience in transporting and efficient design. And it still catches discs fairly well for a cloth basket.
Basket Accessories –If they like to putt in the house or yard, a great way to keep the noise of the otherwise enjoyable sound of the disc hitting chains down is the Infinite Discs Chain Suppressor. Simply wrap the suppressor around the pole to reduce the noise and keep neighbors and roommates happy!
A rangefinder takes the guesswork out of the game, making it an essential tool for competitive players. Should you reach for a distance driver or fairway driver? Find the exact distance to improve your disc selection and success rate.
Apex NP600: Designed specifically for disc golf, offering elevation compensation for precise throws. Dial your shots for accuracy by knowing the exact distance to the basket. This rangefinder offers impressive features at a reasonable price.
MVP Parsec Laser: Features long-range accuracy and rechargeable battery. Ranges up to 2600 feet. Has 6x magnification for more accurate reads.
If you want to practice throwing but don’t have time to drive to a field and spend your time walking around finding the discs you’ve just thrown, check out our practice nets. They give you the ability to get your repetitions in without spending a lot of time.
Revolve 20’x10′ Disc Golf Training Net – Large enough that you won’t have to worry about missing the target, it still fits inside a travel bag for easy transport. The large net also comes with removable target areas so you can hone your aiming abilities. Includes ground stakes for anchoring on grass or dirt.
Upgrade their gear with bags that combine comfort, durability, and capacity.
Tournament Slinger Bag: Lightweight and compact for quick rounds. Single sling design that holds around a dozen discs, some snacks, and a water bottle.
MVP or Axiom Voyager Lite: Spacious yet portable, with reinforced zippers and comfortable straps. The Lite bags have a lot of features and a large capacity, at a good price.
Save their discs from water or tricky spots with reliable retrievers:
Max Stick Retriever: Lightweight and extendable for reaching distant discs. The suction cup ball on the end is amazing for grabbing discs out of the water. This popular retriever can also reach high in trees and even nab a disc over a fence.
Golden Retriever: Excellent for water hazards or hard-to-reach areas. Just toss the retriever past the disc, then pull it in. You can even add more rope to extend your reach. Pro tip: wrap the rope around a separate spool instead of the retriever itself. Then you just have to unspool the amount you need, instead of the entire length of rope.

Storage Racks – Racks come in a variety of sizes and materials to neatly store and organize their disc golf collection. Eliminate those piles of discs with one of these racks or shelving systems.

Plus, it folds up compactly when not in use.
