Tyler Disc Golf

Intro

These pages are a revival of the disc golf section I used to have on a different site a few years ago. If you don't know what disc golf is, then do a simple search on the Internet or just visit the wikipedia page on disc golf.

Courses

Disc Golf has grown considerably in East Texas in the last 10 years. In that time we've had four courses developed in Tyler. In Tyler there are now 3 active courses, two at Lindsey Park and 1 at University of Texas at Tyler. Read more about the courses and course history on the Courses page.

The Disc Golf Clubs

There have been multiple organizations in East Texas. The first was Rose City Disc Club and it has been revived several times for certain events. In addition, there was East Texas Disc Golf Association, formally DGIF. I don't know who is running things now, but things are getting done. Mini and doubles tournaments are held on a weekly basis and regional events are also held here. You can read more about Clubs if you're interested.

Guide, Games and In the bag

Also a part of that disc golf section was a disc golf guide, with descriptions of all known golf discs, and a similar page where players could log their favorite discs, and anything else they had in their bag. You can also read about some of the games we've played or seen.

Bob's Golf Discs

In the early days, the only source of golf discs were in places like Dallas, Shreveport or on-line. That was when I started the business Bob's Golf Discs and started selling discs from the back of my car, and later my van. Now discs are sold by Racquet and Jog and have been sold in one or two other stores. I think it was 2004 when I quit selling discs. I still have a supply of about 500 discs and will probably donate them to a worthy cause.
