| Disc Golf debuts at Book Expo |
|
LOS ANGELES—A popular, organized sport that's been around for over 20 years and played by an estimated 5-10
million people* finally has its own book. Believed to be the first devoted exclusively to the game,
Disc Golf: All You Need to Know About the Game You Want to Play makes its debut at the upcoming Book Expo
America, taking place this week in Los Angeles, CA. Written by Michael Steven Gregory, an avid disc golfer,
it is out from award-winning independent publisher Trellis Publishing.
The handy reference provides techniques for mastering disc golf, the fast-growing sport in which competitors throw a
Frisbee-like disc at a number of pins, or holes, attempting to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest
number of throws of the disc. The basics of the game, the equipment used, and throwing techniques, such as those used
for putts, approaches, and drives, are detailed. Rules and etiquette are included, along with variations of the game.
Additional features include information on the Zen of disc golf and disc golf resources. Ample illustrations and
photographs depict the nuances of grips and stances used in the game.
Gregory will be demonstrating disc golf putting techniques at the Expo on Friday and Saturday, May 30-31, as
well as signing the book.
