| 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.
