Educational Disc Golf Experience: A Prospectus I. Statement of Need “Disc golf can be played from school age to old age, making it one of the greatest lifetime fitness sports available. Specially- abled and disabled participate, giving them the opportunity to take part in a mainstream activity. Because disc golf is so easy to learn, no one is excluded. Players merely match their pace to their capabilities, and proceed from there.”1 Until now, there has been no school-based curriculum or other effective training program to teach the basic skills of disc golf. By combining the fundamentals of the sport with educational objectives in the areas of health and fitness, math, science, civics, and the environment, the Educational Disc Golf Experience (EDGE) provides a way to introduce more young players to the sport, and indirectly, bring the adults in their lives to the game, as well.

    Daniela Bocks INCIDENCE OF SHOULDER PAIN IN PROFESSIONAL AND SEMI-PROFESSIONAL DISC GOLFERS Degree Programme in Physiotherapy 2019 INCIDENT OF SHOULDER PAIN IN PROFESSIONAL AND SEMI- PROFESSIONAL DISC GOLFERS Bocks, Daniela Satakunnan ammattikorkeakoulu, Satakunta University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Physiotherapy April 2019 Number of pages: 33 Appendices: 3 Keywords: shoulder, pain, disc golf, frisbeegolf ____________________________________________________________________ The aim of this thesis was to investigate the incidence of shoulder pain in active disc golf players. Prior studies suggested that the proportion of the disc golf players expe- riencing shoulder pain is high when compared to the normal population. Factors that might contribute to these incidences were researched in this study. These factors were years of playing, skill level of the player determined by the PDGA rating, and throwing techniques. Furthermore, the onset of the pain was investigated. The data for this study was collected through an epidemiological survey, which 63 active disc golf players took part in. The theory part of this thesis contains background information about the anatomy and the biomechanics of the shoulder joint. Furthermore, the biomechanics of the different disc golf throws are analyzed. The data of the questionnaire was analyzed using IBM SPSS and Microsoft Excel Add- in provided by SAMK (Tixel). The data revealed that 53,3% of the participants have disc golf related shoulder pain. Additionally, the correlations of incidence of pain to active playing years and player rating were investigated. As were the onset of the pain and the action leading to the onset of the pain. The obtained data showed that players with a long career were more affected by pain, as well as certain throwing techniques were more prone to the onset of pain.

  • THE UNIVERSITY of CALGARY Exploring Emerging Recreation and Its Planning Challenges: the Case of Disc Golf in Calgary. by Hugo H
    THE UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY Exploring Emerging Recreation and its Planning Challenges: the Case of Disc Golf in Calgary. by Hugo Haley A Master’s Degree Project Submitted to: The Faculty of Environmental Design, University of Calgary. In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Environmental Design (Planning) Faculty of Environmental Design, Planning Program CALGARY, ALBERTA June, 2002 © Hugo Haley 2002 Abstract This document studies the emerging recreational activity of disc golf through the examination of its recent conflict-ridden integration into urban parks in Calgary. This research was inspired by a case of recreation conflict that did not appear to be sufficiently understood by the user group and municipal staff. The thesis of this document proposes that planning for the emerging sport of disc golf by municipal officials and representatives of the user group can suffer from severe limitations in research, procedure and organizational capacity. These limitations can contribute to serious conflict between recreation interest groups. The findings indicate that this proposition is consistent with the Calgary context. Recommendations are presented to improve disc golf planning and management in Calgary based on effective planning research, sound management of recreational resources, and community involvement best practices. The research has also produced resource material based on several public surveys conducted during the term of this research. i Acknowledgements & Dedication My thanks go out to all those that have supported me in this project. My supervisors at the University of Calgary, Professor Don Schultz and Dr. Douglas Brown, guided me through this project with insight and understanding. Craig Burrows-Johnson, Disc Golf Guru, has been outstanding in his support with reference materials from the ‘CBJ Disc Golf Archives.’ I also want to thank Dr.

Any player finishing in the top five (5) who has qualified at an earlier event, or who has received an exemption or special invitation, will be excluded. Players shooting the next lowest score will become eligible. In case of a tie for the final position, the tournament director may: 1) hold a sudden death playoff to determine the winner, 2) award the spot to the player with the lowest final round score, or 3) award the spot to the player with the highest (current) PDGA Player Rating. Each position must be verified by the tournament director immediately following the event. A player may only qualify once via Regional Qualifying events. Players earning eligibility at Regional Qualifiers have 30 days to submit an application for entry along with full payment to guarantee their position in the field. This time period begins immediately following the completion of each event. Players who miss their deadline automatically forfeit eligibility and may not re-qualify at Regional or Global Qualifying events.
