Disc Golf
  • Keep a disc spinning on your finger while trying to avoid objects being thrown by members of the other teams.
  • Closest to pin (get your disc closest to the cool pole hole that we've acquired!)
  • The super cool mini-event: see no disc, speak no disc, hear no disc:
    • We put a blindfold on you---you throw the disc into the basket.
    • We stuff a sock in your mouth---you throw the disc into the basket.
    • I've fallen and I can't get up but I'm going to try to throw the disc into the hole (When you're old, you can't hear, but you also can't stand up!) See how well you can throw a disc while sitting down and wearing ear muffs!
