No way. They are hard as hell to control, and would be worthless on the golf course unless you're talking about 300 yard holes. Oh yeah, they just love trees (notice the open ring for catching branches?). Besides, todays golf frisbees, already go over 100 yds consistantly if you have a good arm. BTW: Somebody out in California has thrown the Aerobie over 1000 feet (I believe it was Scott Zimmerman, known for his distance throwing and free-styling(?)); approx 1100 feet. >Does anyone know of any Frisbee golf courses in the S.F. Bay Area? Sorry, all of my playing experience has been in the mid-west and east coast areas. But I'll check my tournament schedule and see what tournaments are held in that area. For those interested, I am trying to get a complete schedule of upcoming ''Hacky-sack and Frisbee Festivals'', to post to the net. dave /\ -- druid / daveh -- hesselberth \/ -- decvax!mcnc!ncsu!druid / ncsu!ievax!daveh --
