    I've got a nearby public park that installed disc golf goals. Cost, like, a few grand and they've been a popular attraction for over a decade.

    No real reason you can't just put little holes in the ground in the wilderness and wack around some balls. That's how the Scots did it. Maybe we need to get back to Originalist Golfing Tradition.

      Turn them into public parks. Nothing of value will be lost. Birbs will be happy.

        There’s a massive golf course relatively near my work that was wrecked by hurricane harvey and it’s literally just sitting there unused now. It’d make a dope park

      Like numbered frisbee baskets?

      Issue is if it’s too busy of a park. A golf ball hitting you in the head hurts like shit. A frisbee at worst will give you a bruise.

        If we can do hunting season in state parks, I'm confident we can do golfing season.

        Lots of parks already do scheduled walks - similar to tee-times - so as to space out the volume of people on a trail. You'd need extra precautions, but it would be far from impossible.

        Public Semantics Announcement: disc golf frisbees are much more dangerous than their recreational counterparts.
