Although Disc Golf is a competitive sport it has evolved with a somewhat unique Code of Conduct. It’s marked by a unique sense of sportsmanship, comradery and has a more positive and encouraging atmosphere during play than many other sports of its kind. It is also an all inclusive sport with a strong and growing sense of community.

When finding lost discs on a course, very few disc golfers consider a marked disc as finder’s keepers. Disc golfers know how important certain discs can be to our game. Therefore, we see lost discs as an opportunity to show good will and make every attempt to find the owner and return it. This often means calling a phone number on the bottom of a disc and being sure to leave a message if necessary as well as a text attempt. If there’s only a name or other mark, it may be necessary to make a post on social media sites such as FaceBook to get some help identifying the owner. If reasonable efforts have been made to find the owner and no one has claimed the disc, only then should a person consider a disc their own and begin throwing it, causing further wear.

In disc golf as in life, what comes around goes around. Keep it honest. Keep it positive. Help us to “Grow the Sport” of disc golf in the Frankfort Community as well as in our sister cities and abroad. We look forward to seeing each and every one of you out there on the course. Have a good season.

Lost discs should either be given to an FDGA staff member during any of our events or taken to either Bang-A-Chain or Bomb Discs in Lexington, KY.
