Ed Headrick: The Father Of Disc Golfing

In 1976, Ed Headrick created disc golfing after witnessing people throwing frisbees at random objects as a sport. Shortly after, he created and patented some of the first pole baskets used on courses still. Ed Headrick worked for Wham-O before he was the father of disc golfing, and helped create the modern day frisbee. In fact, he wanted disc golfing to be named frisbee golfing, but frisbee was patented by Wham-O. The Disc Golf Association (DGA) was also founded in 1976 and is still operating.
