Although Disc Golf is a competitive sport like most others, the Disc Golf Community 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 fellowship and community.

When finding lost discs on a course, very few disc golfers consider it a finder’s keepers scenario. Rather, we see it as an opportunity to show good will and fellowship by making every attempt to find the disc’s owner and return it. This is often as simple as calling a phone number on the bottom of the disc and being sure to leave a message if necessary. If there aren’t any obvious identifying marks on a disc, it may be necessary to make a couple of posts on social media sites such as FaceBook to get some help. If a player has not put their mark or identifying number on a disc and reasonable efforts have been made to find the owner, only then should a player consider a found 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 further abroad. We look forward to seeing each and every one of you out there on the course. Have a good season.
