Frisbee/Disc Golf
PM Program 3, Period 3
Come learn and play the growing sport of disc golf. It’s played much
like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however, players use a
flying disc, or Frisbee. The sport was formalized in the 1970’s with the
object of completing each hole in the fewest number of strokes (or, in
the case of disc golf, fewest numbers of throws). A golf disc is thrown
from a tee area to a target which is the “hole”. The hole can be one of a
number of disc golf targets; the most common is called a Pole Hole; an
elevated metal basket. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or
she must make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous
throw has landed. The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and
around the fairways/course provide challenging obstacles for the disc
golfer. Finally, the “putt” lands in the basket and the hole is completed.
Disc golf shares the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether
it’s sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway.
Instructor: Matt Davenport

is Right?” Can you or your classmate answer 1st to 5th grade questions
in the game of, “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” We will also play
other games, such as, “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”, “Hollywood Game
Night”, and “What’s my Line?” Don’t miss this exhilarating experience!
