We carry discs from Innova and Discraft. Sycamore Trails Disc Golf Course is located only a mile from the store and is considered to be one of the most challenging courses in the Miami Valley area.
What is Disc Golf?
Disc Golf is a sport in which individual players throw a flying disc into a basket or sometimes at a target. According to the Professional Disc Golf Association, "The object of the game is to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest number of throws of the disc."
Disc golf is similar to traditional golf and uses much of the same rules and terminology. Unlike ball golf, most courses are located in public parks and are usually free to play. The modern disc golf target consists of a metal basket with chains hanging over it and was invented in 1976.
The flying discs used in play are very similar to the frisbee. However, a golf disc is much smaller than the traditional frisbee. Also, a frisbee has a rounded, flatter edge whereas a disc golf disc typically has a beveled edge. A golf disc has the potential to be thrown much farther than a typical, rounded frisbee and is not designed to be catchable.

Wow, that sounds like fun.
For many, many summers of my youth, and even as recent as within the last decade, the "flying responsive in space because everyone enjoys" device was an extension of my arm.
But, humor aside, are you planning or part of any leagues for Disc Golf in this area?
Is it too late to get started in same this year?
Warm regards from Miamisburg,
Michael
