The history of Frisbee & Disc Golf is often told as a series of chronological events. However, this is not the case. Throughout history, if something could be thrown, someone threw it. And, more often than not, people invented games to go along with it. This documentary is a brief overview of Frisbee and Disc Golf from 1827 to 1987. Some things have been missed, others have been left out for times. I am not an expert, I am just a fan. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy it.
I would like to thank The Flying Disc Museum ( www.flyingdiscmuseum.com ) without their commitment to the History of Frisbee/Disc Sports this video could not have been made. I’d also like to thank my friends in the Windsor Essex Disc Golf club for their receptiveness, help, and kind words. You guys are the best.

This video does have a copyright complaint on it but, as I’m not making any money on it anyway, I’ve decided to keep it the way it is. However, it is not viewable in Denmark. If you are from Denmark, and for some reason you are reading this, sent me a tweet and I will get a copy of it to you.
