Editing Disc golf (section)

=== Driver ===
Drivers are recognized by their sharp, beveled edge and have most of their mass concentrated on the outer rim of the disc rather than distributed equally throughout. They are optimized for aerodynamics and designed to travel maximum distances at high speeds. They are typically thrown by experienced players during tee-off and other long distance fairway throws.<ref name="Eastham, Susan L 2015">Eastham, Susan L. "DISC GOLF: Teaching A Lifetime Activity."

Some disc brands further sub-divide their drivers into different categories. For example, [[Innova Discs|Innova]] has ''Distance Drivers'' and ''Fairway Drivers'', with a fairway driver being somewhere between a distance driver and a mid-range disc. [[Discraft]] has three categories of drivers: ''Long Drivers'', ''Extra Long Drivers'', and ''Maximum Distance Drivers''. Another type of driver, used less frequently, is a roller. As the name indicates, it has an edge designed to roll rather than fly. (Although any disc can be used for a roller, some behave quite differently than others.)

The world record distance for a golf disc was once {{convert|863.5|ft|m|abbr=on}}, thrown by [[Simon Lizotte]] on October 25, 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pdga.com/tags/world-record|title=World Record|website=Professional Disc Golf Association}}</ref> That record was held for approximately 17 months until David Wiggins Jr. broke it with a distance of {{convert|1108.92|ft|m|abbr=on}} on March 28, 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.innovadiscs.com/team-news/new-world-record-338-meters-thrown-david-wiggins-jr/|title=New World Record|website=Innova Discs|date=28 March 2016}}</ref>
