Also called Frisbee Golf (although I suspect there's a brand name in that)…
The course is laid out a bit like a regular golf course but the 'holes' are these baskets and you fling your flying discs in their direction.
This one is by the Omaka River west-ish of Blenheim. The first one I ever saw was on River Terrace in Ashburton and I was completely bamboozled by it. Someone had to explain their purpose for me. Are these a thing anywhere outside NZ?
One of my cousins is a proponent of the sport and travels about with a special case full of assorted flying discs - for long and short shots and curving round trees and so on.
Scully would not sit for a photo with it. We are still working on 'stay'. It works until she sees the phone come up…
That sounds much more fun than golf.
ReplyDeleteBoth would be exercises in frustration for me.

DeleteWe have had Frisby Golf here fro about twenty years. I have never played but my son played in high school. Mostly fun- not competitive. Odd invention I think- somewhat clever.
ReplyDeleteAah - you have possibly a point of origin. Families seem to make it a Sunday pastime.
DeleteOnly seen it there.
ReplyDeleteA camera shy dog?!!!
She must come from a household of phone scrollers As soon as I pick up a phone she diverts her attention.

ReplyDeleteSomebody was playing about their Hills Hoist one day and had a flash of an idea for adaptation. When they fall out of fashion, they'd make good hay holders for feeding the cattle... YAM xx
Linda Sue might have id'd the origins. Not sure if they have Hills Hoists in PNW (they don't know what they sre missing - perhaps they could adapt a Frolf basket.)
