S2E1 - Disc Golf Origins: Southern California

Roots of Flight

Disc golf was Frisbee golf first, and the widespread availability of discs and courses can be directly attributed to the wide reach Wham-O had from its seat in Southern California. Dan “Stork” Roddick #003 guides us through how Wham-O’s International Frisbee Association spread Frisbee competition across the world and “Snapper” Pierson #691 gives us insight into SoCal disc golf play and the mainstay that is Morley Field in San Diego.
