    The Challenge at Goat Hill Park – Presented by Innova Disc Golf 2021 Caddie Book MPO & FPO Divisions May 7-9, 2021 Oceanside, CA Welcome, everyone, to The Challenge at Goat Hill Park – Driven by Innova. The 2021 edition of The Challenge has been just that – a challenge – to organize and prepare. I’m so happy that we are able to present a disc golf competition for you, whether you are playing, volunteering, sponsoring, spectating or viewing. The Challenge continues to grow, in size, scope and stature from year to year. And that growth could not happen without your support and participation. Thank You! Disc golf has seen dramatic growth in the past year and that growth brings with it great excitement, but also great responsibility. Holding a large disc golf tournament in a COVID- aware world means that this event is being run a bit different than pre-COVID. We have instituted some social distancing rules for players and volunteers to follow – we appreciate your help with that. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to my colleagues at Innova Disc Golf for their support – The Challenge would not happen without them. Also, many, many thanks to Eli Ivey, John Ashworth and the staff at Goat Hill Park for their continued support of disc golf at the Goat! And I send much love to my son and daughter, AJ and Katie, for all the help they provide and for hearing out all of the crazy ideas I toss at them, without judging them too harshly. It means the world to me.

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.

  • 1 a Method for Mathematically Comparing the Performances Of
    A Method for Mathematically Comparing the Performances of Disc Golf Courses By Steve West Disc Golf, LLC February 10, 2020 It is known that some disc golf courses are better tests of skill than others. This paper presents a method to compare how well disc golf courses perform against each according to their ability to sort players by skill. Method The job of a disc golf course is to rank players by how well they play that day. (Fun and entertainment are hobbies.) This means handing out different scores to different players in a way that is not random. The amount of information in a set of scores given out to a specific group of players can be represented by the Scoring Spread Width of Total Scores. Scoring Spread Width = 2 raised to the absolute value of the sum of the frequency of each score times the log2 of the frequency. However, there is not an absolute scale for what is a “good” spread, because the spread is heavily dependent on the number of players being observed and the range of their skill levels. A course that was played by everyone at Am Worlds will obviously have a much wider Scoring Spread of Total Scores than a course which was played only by the finalists of the Open division at a small tournament. Therefore, the group of players to be observed needs to be standardized before course performances can be compared to each other. One way to standardize the set of plaeyrs would be to find a core group of players that play a lot of tournaments, then evaluate all courses based on the Scoring Spread Width of Total Scores they assigned to the core group.

  • An Economic Study of the Richmond Hill Disc Golf Course
    Proceedings of the National Conference On Undergraduate Research (NCUR) 2014 University of Lexington, Kentucky April 3-5, 2014 An Economic Study of the Richmond Hill Disc Golf Course Haley K. Mahoney Department of Economics The University of North Carolina at Asheville One University Heights Asheville, North Carolina 28804 USA Faculty Advisor: Dr. Leah Mathews Abstract The sport of disc golf has grown, and is still growing, at an astounding rate. Despite all of disc golf’s positive qualities, it can be harmful to the natural ecology of the area in which it is played. Disc golf has been documented to cause such environmental degradation as greatly increased erosion, soil compaction, significant trampling of undergrowth and loss of vegetative cover, as well as persistent damage to trees, such as the stripping of bark, leaves, and branches and indentations and nicks made by the discs, which can result in tree death. Because of the sport’s increasing popularity and negative ecological impacts, it is important to know whether the benefits of disc golf courses are worth the cost. Moreover, because there are mitigation techniques available to offset the negative impacts of disc golf such as behavioral modification, tree-wrapping, and mulching, it would also be beneficial to know whether players would be willing to pay, and how much, to help fund mitigation costs. Using the non-market valuation survey techniques of contingent valuation and contingent behavior analysis, this study examines players’ recreational demand for disc golf at Richmond Hill Disc Golf Course in Asheville, NC, and their willingness to pay (WTP) to maintain the park.

  • Akita WG 2001 Archives
    Compiled 1/3/18 - Stork Qualifying announcement on WFDF.org (1/10/2001) Nations Qualify for World Games Invites Both the World Ultimate Championship in Heilbronn, Germany and The Discraft PDGA World Disc Golf Championships in Ann Arbor, Michigan had special importance because of the fact that each event was also serving as the qualifying site for national participation in the 2001 World Games in Akita, Japan. The Akita Games represent a major breakthrough for disc sports as disc golf and ultimate will for the first time be offered as medal sports. The invitations for ultimate were based on each county's top three divisional finishes. The six teams who earned invitations were: USA- 41 points Canada- 41 points Finland- 39 points Sweden- 33 points Germany- 32 points Japan- 30 points, receiving an automatic invitation as the national host Great Britain was barely edged out of an invitation with 30 points. The invitations for disc golf were based on the combined finishes of each country's top two open pros and top open woman. The six counties earning invitations were: US- 713 points Sweden- 650.7 points Canada- 531.6 points Great Britain- 387.8 points Japan-179 points, receiving an automatic invitation as the national host New Zealand- 145.9 points Chris "Max" Voigt of Germany was unfortunately his country's only entrant and he fell short of qualifying on his own at 110.5 points Over the next several months, the national federations will go through various selection processes to determine which players will represent them in Akita.
