| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews the game of disc golf, explaining that "disc golf is very similar to golf only instead of hitting a golf ball with a club, you throw a disc with your arm." Compares regular golf course and disc golf courses. Mentions that all 18 holes of a disc golf course can fit within a regulation golf course. Details various disc golf accessories, maintenance and installation on the field that are needed to play the game, including moving tee markers to avoid traffic damage, installing permanent locking metal sleeves, and regular golf course maintenance. Discusses the economic impacts of disc golf, mentioning that "an upward trend in the sport of disc golf is the desire for pay to play courses as opposed to the free municipal parks." Explains that disc golf can be fit for any golf course, although there are a few variables that could affect this, such as cost, design, and popularity of the sport. Suggests that with "the right promotion, and the proper planning and design, this is something that will be a profitable addition to many golf courses." |
