Frisbee Golf


This isn't necisarilly a post to be commented on, although you should feel free to if you wish.
I just wanted to share with everyone the joy of home-made frisbee golf. Our Elder's Quorum President Bryan Tanner (Center) developed a frisbee golf corse in our appartment complex weaving in and out of apparment buildings. Last night, after the fireworks we decided we hadn't had enough of the Fourth of July, so we went and played firsbee golf. The golf course resembles something that we would have come up with when we were kids. It starts in one of the apartment bedrooms with the first hole ending on one of the apartment balconies. Other holes includ drier #58 in laundry room, the barbeque on the patio, the basketball hoop, and the grand finaly of the course ends in the hot tub. Needless to say, I won this round by scoring par with 47 strokes. My next task is to devise an urban course on BYU's campus.

  1. I think that you should invent a night course. Ya know the little glow sticks that you can make into a necklace, or a braclet, etc? Light it up, then cut it open and smear it on your frisbee and on the target. The'll glow for a couple of hours. We do this for Dodgeball in the gym at the church, turn the lights off, light the ball up, and everyone has to wear a glowing necklace. DOn't know if that's fun for "college" kids, but it might be?

  2. they actually make light up frisbees. They are difficult to play with, but a lot of fun. It's something we'll have to try out. The problem is, the most interesting places to play are urban environments, which are usually lit at night anyway.

  3. Wow you all look so serious! But that looks like so much fun! I used to play night games with some of my good old highschool buddies when I was up in IF. It was so much fun! We were called the ENG (extreme night games players, lol the name changed several times too) But played capture the flag the most, sometimes frisebee golf, and sardines, the list goes on! but it was so much fun. Miss that a lot.

  4. In Missoula we have courses in the forest, and to score you have to hit a particular tree- I assume that you've tried that too?

  5. In North Carolina, we had a course through the trees. It actually was run by the city, so it had real "holes" (metal poles with chain link hoops that you would try and loft the frisbee into). I lost a lot of frisbees in that forest.

  6. See, that's how real frisbee golf is supposed to work, and I immagine it is really fun, although I haven't tried it. I enjoy the randomness of urban firsbee golf becasue you can create it yourself, and you have more obsiticles. It's almost like mini golf for Frisbee.
