History of Disc Golf

Established in 1968...  Re-established in 2010!!


In 1968, George Sappenfield, Recreation Supervisor for Conejo Recreation & Park District, introduced a new game to many Conejo Valley residents by planning the very first official Disc Golf Tournament.  He contacted Wham-O Manufacturing, asking them for help with the event.  Wham-O generously supplied frisbees for throwing and hula hoops for use as targets.

Disc Golf was born in the Conejo Valley.

Since then, Disc Golf has exploded as a sport, with its own professional organization of nearly 40,000 members, tournaments worldwide, and courses scattered around the world.
