I invented the half-court game of Ultimate Frisbee, which you play in a yard with a 10’ by 10’ box as a goal in the center of the yard. When a team takes possession they must “clear” the Frisbee to the outer edge of the yard before attempting to score inside the box.

For those of us who are retired, Frisbee Golf is fun and good exercise.

Around here , it is free at state and city parks.

Strictly speaking it is called disk golf.

Disks cost maybe $15

I had one of these:

A late 1950's Whirley Whirler.

It came with a wooden dowel, with a point on one end, that you spun under the disc rim to build up speed (where it bends up) and then let it spin on the pointed part of the stick in the center point of the disc.

Longevity of rotation with out "re-charging" was usually declared the winner in a multiple contest of my peers.
