In 1975 the first Disc Golf course was installed in Pasadena Park in Los Angeles County, California by Steady “Ed” Headrick, PDGA# 001.  The sport took a fairly new invention of the frisbee (1957), and combined it with the game of golf by using an individual tree or object as targets to act as the “hole.”  As the game grew, techniques and technologies developed alike turning frisbees into discs and in 1986 the PDGA or Professional Disc Golf Association was born yielding the game a professional organizing body.
