Do you ever wonder what those metal chain baskets scattered around Lismore Park and Eely Point are? You may have even seen people wandering around throwing frisbees at them. Welcome to the world of Disc Golf. The sport has been around for decades and is quickly becoming the fastest growing sport in the world. Having gained a mass global following over the last 5 years, some major sponsors are starting to take note and get involved, thus, pushing the sport to new heights. New Zealand’s first national disc golf team, ‘The Flying Kiwis’, competed in the Team Disc Golf World Championships held in Canada for the first time last year. They proved themselves worthy on the world stage and brought home Silver for NZ. Hayley Flintoft, Wanaka local and The Flying Kiwis female player said, “To compete against some of the world’s best players was an amazing experience. The Disc Golf community is so welcoming all over the world and we are super excited to step it up this year
and bring home Gold in August at the Championships held in Colchester, England”.

However, there is no way the team can accomplish this massive feat without the community’s help. “Competing in the Championships takes a lot of commitment. Disc Golf is still a relatively new sport here in New Zealand which means our team lacks the support of the big sponsors that a lot of overseas players receive. As a result, it is up to us to work hard to raise funds for these trips”, says Kyle Martin, Wanaka local and The Flying Kiwis team member.
