Basket (disc golf)

Permanent DiscGolfPark basket at a disc golf course in Czechia

A basket, sometimes also called pole hole, flying disc entrapment device or disc golf net,[1] is by far the most common type of target used in disc golf. It features a disc-catching basket under a deflection assembly generally made out of chain.[2] Permanent baskets on courses are built on an anchored metal pole, but portable disc golf baskets with foldable mechanisms to facilitate transportation also exist.[3][4]
