Disc Golf Displays
If you are looking to
demo the sport or use disc golf as an attraction, we
recommend the more dynamic aspects of the game, namely
power and accuracy.
Power
The best players in the UK are able to throw
in the region 140-150m. These throws are very impressive
especially when witnessed by the naked eye. There are
a handful of disc golfers in the World who have thrown
over 200 metres! The World record distance throw for
a golf disc is 250 metres.
Accuracy
Observing players putting into disc golf baskets over
considerable distances is impressive. The sound of discs
crashing into the basket is also quite a head turner.
The baskets themselves are very unusual looking and
are often a focus of interest just on their own.
Cilla
Black Loves Disc Golf...
Disc golf putting displays have featured on a number
of television game shows. The first one Discology assisted
on was Cilla Black's 'Moment of Truth' on ITV in 1999/2000.
On this occasion Cilla challenged a member of the public
to make 30 putts in 60 seconds from about 10 metres
away. There were some mega prizes to be won if she was
successful.
The contestant had one week to practice and boy did
she practice! In her back garden, she threw golf discs
into a basket from 10 metres for 8 hours a day for a
week. Over this period, she lost a stone in weight and
the muscles in her throwing arm became remarkably defined!
She said she was even throwing discs in her dreams!
To cap the story, she returned from her week of training
and completed the challenge in front of the studio audience.
Here's an amusing video
clip of a flying disc challenge on Channel 4's Cult
TV program Banzai.
