<span style="font-weight: 400"><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-who-invented-disc-golf-and-why/">Disc golf</a> originally known as Frisbee golf is played just like <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/golf-tokyo-olympics-2020-2021/">golf</a>. But instead of the balls, discs are used which are made out of a type of plastic called propylene. The frisbees are first thrown towards their target from a tee pad. The target is a basket that is made using wires and chains to hold the incoming disc. There are around 9 or 18 holes (baskets). After the player throws the disc towards the basket, he needs to start again from the landing point of the disc towards the target basket. Once the disc lands a particular basket, the player gets a score. The players compete to achieve the lowest possible throws for landing a particular hole. PAR is the number of strokes a senior player utilizes to reach a hole or holes (generally 9 or 18).</span>

Then players in the </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Pendleton King Park in Augusta, Georgia</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> used to toss the discs towards 50-galloon barrel trash cans using them as targets.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Ed Headrick also known as "Steady" is known as the father of disc golf. He invented the frisbee golf while he was working with Wham O but he soon left the latter, since he independently wanted to focus on this new baby - the flying disc.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 1976, Ed Headrick and his son began the first disc golf company with the objective of manufacturing discs and targets in order to formalize the game of disc golfs. In the primitive stages, the target catcher was Ed's pole hole design which had a pole sticking out of the ground.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">The First Disc Golf Basket</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In 1977, Headrick and his son Ken manufactured the modern basket target for disc golf, US Patent 4039189A, called the Flying Disc Entrapment Device which was given their trademark name ? Disc Pole Hole?. This equipment could catch the frisbee or disc and had a chain-hanger with hanging vertical rows of chain and was away from the center pole. The hanging chains created a mounting shape above and the metal basket surrounds the center pole. It would be able to hold the incoming disc from all directions.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Headrick?s patent design for a basket called the Disc Pole Hole is used today in majority of the 13,000 courses of the Disc Golf Association.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400"><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/ice-hockey/">Ice Hockey</a> is a team sport that is played on ice skates. It is generally played on an ice skating rink with lines and markings pertaining to the sport. It is part of the family of hockey.

Ice hockey is a physically demanding game and is considered a full contact sport.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">History of Ice Hockey</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">It was initially believed that ice hockey came from English Field Hockey and Indian Lacrosse and expanded all through Canada in the mid 1800s by British soldiers. After a lot of research, it came across that a hockey like game was played in Nova Scotia by the Micmac Indians which was very much like the Irish game of hurling. It used a hurley (stick) and a square wooden block instead of a ball. It was this game that spread across Canada through the Scottish and Irish immigrants and the British Army. Field hockey elements such as bully, (later the face-off) and shinning (hitting the shin of the opponent), all this developed into an informal ice game called shinny or shinty. The term rink was first used in 18th century in Scotland in the game of curling that refers to the organized area of gameplay. Primitive hockey allows nearly 30 players to be one side of the ice, with two large frozen stones at each end of the ice to be used as goals. In 1860, the first use of puck instead of the ball came into being in Kingston Harbour, Ontario, Canada.</span>

Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston, donated a cup to be given yearly to the winning Canadian team. This gives the name ? Stanley Cup? to the three-foot high silver cup and was first awarded in 1892-93.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 1899, the Canadian amateur hockey league was formed, it was considered very amateur to even consider it to be paid for athletics. The first known professional hockey team in the world was formed in the United states in 1903, in Houghton, Michigan. Portage Lakers, the team was owned by a dentist Gibson. He imported Canadian players into the team and in 1904, Gibson formed the first known professional hockey league called the Pro Hockey League.
