My real foot golf question: can I get away with slide tackling my cardmates?

My friends and I have joked about one day playing a game of full contact disc golf. Maybe footgolf would work better.
I was lucky that I wear glasses or it probably would have knocked an eye out. It hit me where the temple meets eye socket, the spring in the earpiece of my glasses is still broken, lol. Also, the fact that it was a soft vibram putter probably helped too, but it still hurt like hell.
I think you are not a real disc golfer until you have been struck by an errant disc. It is almost a rite of passage of sorts.
Played with standard soccer balls and 21" diameter holes in the ground, almost entirely, intentionally, on pre-existing traditional golf courses.
Typical foot golfer can kick a ball ~65 yards, less than 200 feet.
FootgolfTM seems to be a heavily funded, intentional effort to capture a new, hybrid sport and confine it to traditional golf course properties. The same game, without the trademark, has a number of names: Foot Golf, Soccer Golf, and Football Golf. Those who own the trademark are discouraging stand-alone foot golf courses not on a pre-existing traditional golf course.
I can see disc golf courses where this fits right in and am designing two, right now. What do you think?
