Frisbee golfers play through
Frisbee golf It sounds like a mixed metaphor
But frisbee golf is one of the most popular sports
played by students at the University.
There's some controversy about how the
sport came to the University Many say it was
imported by enthusiasts from the East Coast or
Southern California, who devised a rude course
from landmarks on the campus Since then fris
bee golf has become a mainstay at this and other
campuses around the country
Enthusiasts at the University have marked out
an elaborate and challenging 18 "hole'' course
that crisscrosses the entire campus The "holes”
are lamp posts that have yellow guide stripes The
object is to hit the posts below the yellow stripe
and above a lower ring A copy of the rules for
frisbee golf is available from the Recreation and
Intramurals office in Gerlinger Halt.
Frisbee golf is quite similar in many ways to
conventional golf The activity provides exercise,
sunshine, competition and an enjoyable tour of
the campus for the players Then again, there are
similar hazards in both sports. Many a golfer has
blown his top and thrown his clubs into the lake
after hitting a tree, losing his ball in the rough,
getting a bad lie, missing that easy putt, or
dropping twenty bucks to the Presbyterian minis
ter in his foursome Frisbee golfers suffer the
same frustrations
The front nine begins on the hill of the grassy
area between the EMU and Carson Hall The first
hole a par three, 248 yard, is played to the lamp
post of the southeast entrance of the EMU The
course winds south to an area across from
Leighton Pool, west toward Susan Campbell and
then north past Chapman Hall all the way to the
Law School. The course then goes behind Villard
and turns south to Hendricks Hall The tee for the
ninth hole is on a mound by the southeast en
trance of the EMU It's a five-par to the "hole" on
the other side of Carson Hall by the bicycle racks
The back nine reverses the front nine, with
minor course variations. The entire course is a
par-65, covering a total of 6,448 yards
Players say the most challenging "hole" is
the par-three, 96 yard 17th hole. Golfers tee-off on
the hill on the southwest corner of the EMU and
try to fling their frisbees over a row of hedges
lining the parking lot The difficult part is to clear
the hedges and the cars in the lot in one shot and
still be in position for the two-putt to the "hole".
RIM has, during spring term, sponsored fris
bee golf tournaments The tournaments incor
porate teams of two players with a choice of nine
or 18 hole competition at the novice or advanced
skill levels.
There are also community sponsored frisbee
golf tournaments Westmoreland Community
Center is the site for two tournaments on Oct 9
and Oct 30 Both tournaments begin at noon The
fee is $1 for the Oct 30 tournament with a men's,
women’s, and age group divisions
Frisbee golfers are much maligned because
the course crosses pedestrian areas and the
places where students sunbathe Because of the
popularity of frisbee golf it is advisable that
students walk and sunbathe defensively when on
the course
