@SoDNINJA You are right. I should have included him in the video. I said "the man who invented the Frisbee," I should have said the man behind the popularization of the Frisbee.
Great documentary. I'm gonna show it to everyone I can and get some more people out on the courses. I've already got my dad out there throwing. It's been fun to share the sport with family and friends.
I wish someone would tell the State of Maine about Free Courses, not a single one in the State! $5 minimum to play, some places are asking $8-$10 which I do realize isn't much at all but, who doesn't love "Free"?
@GreenBeansMcGee You're right. I should have shown some ladies playing. It is a sport for everyone. I was under a tight deadline when I made this video. I missed the Women's event. Next video I'll make it a point.
Thanks for making this! Great video. I moved out of the US three years ago, and I miss the Austin, Texas Disc Golf community greatly. I shared some amazing weekends with some great people.
Great Video!!! I really enjoyed all the interviews, especially the basketball story from Feldberg. One thing that you were incorrect about though is that Ed Headrick invented the Frisbee (A Wham-o trademarked name), it was Fred Morrison who Invented the first plastic flying disc which was later named the Frisbee. People where also throwing pie tins and popcorn lids before plastic flying discs though. BTW Wham-o is now owned by a Chinese company, so the Frisbee has left the USA. :(
wowzer foot faults on a bunch of those putts. Discgolf is definitely coming around as a sport, we're building a new local course here in Birmingham, Al. The city gave us a park to place it in, they're cutting the trees we want cut, clearing the land for lanes, pouring the the concrete for the pads, not a penny from the clubs pocket. And the best thing yet? Academy Sports just donated 19 DISCatcher pros for the park.
You can try and pretend, but as long as the game is played by 90% pot smokin hippies and 10% people that compete on the PDGA it will never be taken seriously. ( just count the people that show up to the course with just one disc, throw from the wrong box, and look like they still have on pajamas) So just enjoy the game for what it is, an inexpensive way to have fun and get off the couch. And if you want to get serious take up ball golf and enjoy pissing your money away. Just keeping it real yo.
@1manvsworld Discin can be taken as seriously as any other sport. Sure theres people who go out and 1/2 ass it but thats true with many sports. 90% of the time i drive past a basketball court its people taking free throws and trying to do trick shots, and theres more than one 40 oz in a paper bad on the sideline. Does this mean basketball isnt serious? Like anything else, the sport is what you make of it. Besides, most ball golf is played while driving around on golf carts, like thats athletic
Great video! Thanks for putting it together :) I went to the same Scott Stokely clinic that Nate Sexton went to way back when I was new to the sport too. I took a a private lesson from him after the clinic and I added over 100 feet to my drive in less than 2 weeks from his instruction.
@burgman Every putt Nate Bush makes in this video is a foot fault (there's another on at 3:50). I hope the other people on his card are calling him on this!
I just think the pot smoking, alcoholic hippie stereotype is funny. And people say that it's the one reason that disc golf won't be as big a ball golf. Before big sponsorships and all that the stereotype of ball golfers gave the same bad rep that disc golf get. And look where they are now
Great video, I love it. I am a little disappointed though that I am not able to show this video to potential stakeholders due to the talk about the negative perception that DG has; I can't promote a video that talks about "hippies" and "six packs". Dave is correct when he says that this negative perception doesn't exist overseas, at least not here in Australia.
What are the chances of editing this video, removing the negative aspects? I would love to use it when talking to the uninitiated.
@2ss307 I can edit this video anyway you want. I would like some more details about what the video would be used for please. Who are these potential stakeholders? Where and how would you promote this video? Thanks for the post.
@goodnews907 That would be awesome if you could edit it. Our major goal here is to get local councils on side with the view of getting a course in the ground. I would love to chat further: oli(at)melbournediscgolf(dot)com
The problem I see is when families come out with there young kids and see garbage cans full on beer cans on the course it can definitely have a negative connotation whether it is deserved or not.

Great little documentary. Love the fact that I play the courses shared here all the time. Dave Feldberg's take at the end of this video is right on the mark! Thanks for putting this overview of "Flolf" together and posting it.
The term "popular opinion" is used when describing an alleged negative perception about disc golf. In reality, relatively few people even know what disc golf is. Those that do have an overwhelmingly positive attitude towards it. Disc golf has never had the reputation of a "pseudo sport" that is "not a real competition worth paying attention to" because in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't have much of a reputation at all outside of those that play and love it.
@steveganz I appreciate your opinion. All the pros I interviewed knew exactly what I was talking about when I asked them about the negative perception that some people have about the sport. The players that have been playing a long time have seen a change of opinion over the years. In recent years more people are seeing that this game is a sport. I made this movie in hopes of changing more opinions. It sounds like you care a lot about disc golf. So do I. I want to improve the sport's reputation
@goodnews907 I know your heart is in the right place, I just think this video unintentionally highlights and amplifies a perception that doesn't really exist anymore. It really is a bygone attitude that we are far removed from today. Disc golf has come a long way in the last 10 years alone and we have done much to dispel the myths of the past. There simply isn't a need to change opinions that are no longer held. Instead, we should focus on highlighting the positive aspects of this amazing sport.
@steveganz What's up Steve. I might actually know you, you the franklin guy? "popular opinion" doesn't mean the opinion is popular amongst the American populous but rather that it is the most popular opinion amongst all the opinions regarding disc golf. This is regardless of the number of opinions or how few Americans have these opinions compared to opinions about other common things. I think we have to fight back to fix the bad sitgman of DG being a hippie, pot smoking, alcoholic sport.
@goodnews907 He's my favorite pro, i've watched tons of his videos to try to get my throw to be like his. He's an awesome person and hopefully one day i can meet him.
@teamudgp You are right. I should have included him in the video. I said "the man who invented the Frisbee," I should have said the man behind the popularization of the Frisbee.
@mrpbody33 I agree with you about the the best.part. I watched the shot at 1:30 many times. I watched it very closely frame by frame. The shadow under his foot dissappears the same moment the disc leaves his hand. It's extremely close, but I think the shot is legal. It is not possible to see this in this version because when videos are posted on YouTube they compress the frames. I care a great deal about the sport, so I made an effort to leave the illegal shots out of this movie. Thanks for post
