Who says a new hobby or sport has to cost a lot to get started?

Sometimes called Frisbee golf, disc golf is actually very reasonable.

"You could really come in with a family, buy a whole set of discs, brand new, and come out and play for cheaper than you could go out and see a movie right now," says Keith Murray, disc golf enthusiast and part owner of Spinners on the Green, a disc-golf pro shop situated right on the course at Vista Del Camino Park in Tempe.

With leagues for women, handicapped, doubles and more, anyone can get involved and have a great time.

There are even professional disc golf players.

That's right, and some can make as much as 6 figures getting sponsored.

You can see pros from all over the world this Saturday at Vista Del Camino Park at McDowell and Miller in Tempe.
