Perhaps you’ve heard of disc golf: challenging, low-cost, good cardiovascular, and healthy game that combines elements from two popular pastimes. . .golf and Frisbee throwing. Similar to golf in pace, procedure, and psychology, disc golfers count their throws when playing courses that are usually 18 holes. Whereas in golf the hole is completed when the ball falls into the cup, in disc golf the hole is done when the disc is put into the basket of the target. A disc golf target features a two-foot wide metal basket that is attached to a pole, sitting two feet above the ground. There is also a chain assembly attached to the pole above the basket that stops the discs forward motion, causing it to drop into the basket. The sport of disc golf is governed by the Professional Disc Golf Association (pdga.com), which now boasts close to 50,000 worldwide members, most of whom are amateurs. The PDGA sanctions over 1,400 events a year, provides its members with a magazine called DiscGolfer and a competitive player rating, and operates the International Disc Golf Center near Augusta, Georgia. Since 1983, when the first-ever Kansas City Wide Open became a charter member of the PDGA Tour, Kansas City has evolved into one of the most popular disc golf destinations in the country. Besides the Wide Open, there have been Amateur World Championships in KC in 1999 and 2003, and the 2009 PDGA Professional and Amateur Disc Golf World Championships drew 921 players from 44 states and 12 countries, making it the largest disc golf tournament ever in the 35-year history of the PDGA. Thanks for your consideration of becoming a sponsor of the 29th Kansas City Wide Open, countdown to 30.
The Kansas City Flying Disc Club, a registered not-for-profit corporation, was established in 1988 with these goals: to promote the sport of disc golf, as well as other flying disc sports by (1) holding events and leagues for players of all skill levels; (2) issuing a newsletter to connect the membership, as well as other similar flying disc organizations, the media, and parks departments; (3) working in cooperation with the various park departments to maintain and improve the current courses, and to procure new courses. We encourage you join the KCFDC and become part of the growth of disc golf in Kansas City. The game, while relatively new, needs a strong club to connect effectively with the various governments on which our courses are located. We are one of the strongest clubs in the country, and we get things done.
