Years before disc golf baskets were invented, we members of the RUFT (Rutgers Ultimate Frisbee Team) would play the course using natural objects as target holes. Tree trunks were commonly used. To "hole out" you had to hit the base of the trunk (3' or lower). Showing my age : this was in the mid-70's and "helpful" folks, not familiar with FOLF (as it was originally called), would sometimes pick up our lie and throw the frisbee (this was also before Discraft, so small "f" frisbee was used) back to us. [I suspect, but cannot prove, that the course was intentionally laid out on the Douglass campus as a way for (at the time mostly male) RUFT members to meet co-eds.]
