I happen to stumble across this on the Wikipedia page on Disc Golf and thought I would share it here. I doubt this stayed online for all to see for very long. LOL
The early history of disc golf. Mr. Frisbee and Mr. Golf were at a hockey game. Tired of the idea of two teams going at it, they decided to make an individual sport that required precision and accuracy over a distance. The debate came to what instrument they would use. Mr. Golf was a fan of a stick and a walnut, (what would soon be the club and the golf ball) while Mr. Frisbee, who was a pie-manufacturer, thought the disc like structure would be more economical way of playing the sport. However, they found the stick and walnut attracted the rich white guys and guys named Brandon, while the pie-tins attracted the obese and stoned college students.
I mentioned something about this to a disc golfing friend of mine named Brandon. Before I read it to him, I told him "Your name is mentioned in this". He kind of freaked out and said "MY Name? Why is MY name included in it"? I told him I didn't know why, but he sure laughed after I read him the above.
