Modern disc golf started in the early 1960s, but there is debate over who came up with the idea first. It was not until the 1970s that modern disc golf would be introduced to Canadians at the Canadian Open Frisbee Championships in Toronto and Vancouver, British Columbia. However, after they grew older and went their separate ways, the game came to an end. They called the game Tin Lid Golf and played on a fairly regular basis. Ronald Franklin Gibson and a group of his Bladworth Elementary School buddies played a game of throwing tin lids into 4-foot wide circles drawn into sandy patches on their school grounds. The first game was held in Bladworth, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1927.
The game is played in about 40 countries and, as of March 31, 2022, there are 90,916 active members of the PDGA worldwide.ĭisc golf was first invented in the early 1900s. Par is the number of strokes an expert player is expected to make for a given hole or a group of holes (usually 9 or 18). Usually, the number of throws a player uses to reach each basket is tallied (often in relation to par), and players seek to complete each hole in the lowest number of total throws. The baskets are formed by wire with hanging chains above the basket, designed to catch the incoming discs, which then fall into the basket, for a score. Players complete a hole by throwing a disc from a tee pad or area toward a target, known as a basket, throwing again from where the previous throw landed, until the basket is reached. The sport is usually played on a course with 9 or 18 holes (baskets).
Discs are also made using a variety of other plastic types that are heated and molded into individual discs. Most disc golf discs are made out of polypropylene plastic, otherwise known as polypropene, which is a thermoplastic polymer resin used in a wide variety of applications.
Sport in which players attempt to throw a disc into a targetĭisc golf, occasionally known as Frisbee Golf, is a flying disc sport in which players throw a disc at a target it is played using rules similar to golf.
