According to the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA), "The object of the game is to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest number of throws of the disc."

Walter (Fred) Morrison passed away February 9, 2010 in his home in Monroe, Utah at the age of 90.  See the True Origins of the Frisbee for more information.

On the disc golf course, there are no greens or holes, instead there are 9-18 disc golf baskets or frisbee golf targets.  Disc golf courses are built, following the same idea as ball golf with "holes" or "tees", water hazards and pars.  Each throw is counted like a "stroke" and the object of the game is to get your disc or frisbee into the disc golf target in the least amount of throws.  The concept of the frisbee began in the 30's with a man named Fred Morrison.  See the True Origins of the Frisbee for more information.

Today there are thousands of disc golf courses worldwide, almost anywhere in the United States you can find a course near you.  The PDGA or Professional Disc Golf Association has over a thousand members.  There are hundreds of professional and sponsored disc golfers.  Tournaments can be found regionally and even worldwide.  Unlike ball golf, there is no need for extensive course design, including felling trees and extreme pesticide, fertilizers or water waste.  Some of the best courses are deep in the woods and the disc golf baskets are strategically placed in and amongst the trees, making this the essential outdoor sport.
