The 1996 Fall Disc Golf Tour

October 12th thru October 19th, 1996 there was a traveling tournament that swept over the Midwest. Jeff Blount was back from Budapest for the arm-tester, as well as myself (Rich Hart), Paul Fabian, and Tony Sciola, from Minneapolis. Within 8 days our foursome, plus some, visited over 20 Disc Golf Courses in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. We hooked up with family, friends and fellow Disc Golfers all along the way for the most golf-filled week+ you'll ever see.

The map below is 'hot'. All the course buttons are linked to their respective home pages created from photos and information gathered by Flying Objects and Big D on the road. There is a ton of information up already but there is a lot of construction being done right this very minute. Keep checking back.
