This is the Official PDGA Disc Golf World Records Page!!

Accept no substitutes!

Most of the Official PDGA Records are tracked by our PDGA statistics team, Rick Rothstein ,Guru & Myself. Other Disc Golf World Records and "Aces"/Holes in One are NOT tracked by the PDGA and could largely be considered hearsay. But, we want to believe you. So, if you have information concerning one of the categories listed or, if you have a new category, send the info to….theminiac@aol.com or jjacob2@iag.net for consideration.

Be aware of the fact that not only is this page in a constant state of flux, but in many instances it contains information that is entirely erroneous. Possibly because I made it up. (If my name appears along with a question mark, that means I don't know who has the actual record. But, that's my best and it's up to you to bump me if you have (truthful ) corresponding info that surpasses my number. In the "biz" this is known as shameless self promotion.

Why are we hosting this page? We want you at the Gran Canyon!!! (The coolest Disc Golf Course in Florida...possibly The World!!!) Don't forget the "A" Tier Fabulous Florida Tour stop at the Canyon January 19-20, 2002!

If you see a category that contains information that doesn’t jibe with your recollection of reality, let us know (gently, please.) Also, keep in mind that there is a record for just about every conceivable situation.

We have tried to limit entries to our page to records pertaining to Disc Golf. For other Flying Disc records try WFDF World Records

Have Fun Gang!!!                       

Spin-cerely,

Most trees hit in one flight	??

Longest drive behind the tee	Brent Hambrick at the 1997 Worlds in Indiana. Brent slipped off of the tee on hole 4 at Wilson park and threw the disc backwards downhill behind him about 200ft. No one would call him for a foot fault.
	150 ft Chuck Kennedy #4949, Riverside Park #14, St. Cloud, MN, May 1998, MN Doubles Series. Roller went uphill 130 feet, hit a tree and rolled back past tee, went another 100 feet, then over cliff down 50 feet landing 5 feet from Mississippi River. (Note: Shot did not have to be used because partner was already safe on top of hill)
Dishonorable mention...
	Lynne Warren with a roller that went 220+ feet ahead and turned and rolled 70 feet behind the tee.
	In a La Mirada tournament years back Bob Heim teed off on hole #18 (starts at edge of lake and goes over a small rise toward tennis courts/clubhouse), griplocked, and landed his drive behind him on the other side of the lake near old tee #11. That's aprox. 120-130 feet backwards.
	In the (non-sanctioned) "Men's round-up" tournament at Camp Tadmor in Lebanon, OR (Sep 97). Brian Riley threw a shot through the chains for an "almost ace" (Hole #1 - 190ft uphill) only to watch as it rolled back down hill through thick woods and brush and finally coming to a rest aprox ~50 ft behind the tee. He finished with a 5.
Biggest Choke
	At the 2000 PAW, Valerie Miller from Oregon went into the Junior Girls 24 hole FINAL at the Campground with a 10 stroke lead. She shot 95. Her competition Amanda Wagner from Ludington MI shot 84, and won by 1!
	Joe Kloster leading the Ankeny (IA) Summer Fest Am Tournament by 3 strokes with 1 hole to play. Sean Murphy takes a 2 and Joe takes a circle-6 to lose by 1.Circa 1996.
	Michelle Wade @ Mother lode Expedition has 9 stroke lead with 18 holes to go. Lost by one to Lisa Daenzer
	Crazy John at -75 thru 8 rounds in Phoenix Worlds falls asleep on Saturday finishes 4th
	Hoser Williams stroking himself late in the Worlds for not marking a lie under the basket and losing by one. Ouch!
	After setting a new course record at the 1985 Mid-America Open in Columbia with a -15, Lavonne Wolfe had a 10 stroke lead going into the last round.  Slate Paul caught and beat him.  Lavonne suffered from dehydration during the final round and at times was not even able to open his hand due to cramping.  It was ugly!
