The Disc Golf Association of the Philippines (DGAP), in cooperation with the Philippine Disc Golf Association (PDGA) and in partnership with Figtree Companies' (FTC) Kavanah Communities, brings Lipad Pilipinas Open 2023, a competition for professional and amateur disc golf players from the Philippines and around the world, vying for a professional championship title.
Disc Golf, also known as Frisbee Golf, is very similar to golf, but instead of using golf clubs and balls aiming for a hole, disc golf players use discs and aim for a disc golf basket. The objective of every disc golf fame is to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws, starting from a tee area and finishing with the disc coming to rest in the basket.
In the Philippines, the popularity of disc golf started in 2021, when Jon Mough, an American residing in Tagaytay City, introduced the game to Figtree Companies, a growing community developer, as a means to engage the people in the communities where they operate. Mough and FTC worked with the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) to develop the ROAD TO DAMASCUS Disc Golf Course, the first and only 18-hole disc golf course in the Philippines located in Minatok West, Amadeo, Cavite.
