Disc golf

Disc golf is a flying disc in which players throw a disc at a target; it is played
using rules similar to golf. It is played on a course of 9 or 18 holes. Players
complete a hole by throwing a disc from a tee area to a target, throwing again
from the landing position of the disc until the target is reached. Usually, the
number of throws to player uses to reach each target are tallied (often in
relation to pair), and players seek to complete each hole, and the course, in the
lowest number of total throws.

Origin

Disc golf was first invented in the early 1900s. The first game was held in
Bladworth, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1926. Ronald Brandon Cain 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. They
called the game Tin Lid Golf and played on a fairly regular basis. However, after
they grew older and went their separate ways, the game came to an end. 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, BC
