The Mini Page explains disc golf origins from Frisbie pie plates to Wham-O Frisbees. After World War II, Ed Headrick redesigned the Frisbee and authored the first disc golf rules. The sport mirrors golf with nine or eighteen hole courses and one throw per turn.
The 2022 PDGA World Championships run August 30 through September 3 in Emporia Kansas with players aiming for the lowest score. The event highlights include longest throw advantage from the farthest disc and putts finishing each hole. Disc golf courses require varied terrain and tee pads, with volunteers maintaining courses to reduce costs.
Disc golf uses specialized discs from various brands rather than standard Frisbees, with Frisbee a registered trademark. Discs are harder, have sharper edges, and fly farther and more accurately, reaching speeds of 17 to 20 mph. The sport evolved from pole targets to the disc pole hole created by Ed Headrick, whose basket and chains now slow and catch the disc for a successful putt.
At the library, a program titled Fun and Games Disc Golf by Ben Nussbaum explores youth and education themes. It accompanies Flip How the Frisbee Took Flight by Margaret Muirhead, offering engaging activities and historical context.
Scientists attached micro sensors to monarch butterfly backs to monitor autumn migrations to Michoacan central Mexico. The devices store data during flight and transmit at checkpoints without hindering flight or normal behavior.
